Corentin Chary b7d3fbc2ed asus-laptop: Add support for Keyboard backlight
Add support for keyboard backlight found in Asus U50VG.

The SMC driver for the Apples does it via LED. To be
consistent with that we create /sys/class/leds/asus::kbd_backlight/
to control the keyboard backlight.

SLKB and GLKB are used to get/set the backlight. On
the U50VG is supports 4 brightness level, but this may
change with other models.

SLKB take a 8 bit integer where the higher bit is used
to toggle the backlight, and the over 7 bits control the
brightness level.

Alan Jenkins c200da5d29 eeepc-laptop: switch to dev_pm_ops
This also involves switching the resume handler from the acpi device
to the platform device.  Using the more fine grained handlers allows
two improvements:

1. We only need to recheck rfkill state after resume from hibernation.

2. The wireless LED workaround accounts for up to 1.1s out of 1.7s
resuming devices (when wireless is enabled).  We can limit the
workaround to thaw(), so that it only delays suspend to disk.

The workaround is only likely to help when hibernation is aborted.
Suspend to ram cannot be aborted by the user.  Device suspend errors may
well happen before eeepc-laptop would even be frozen.  Suspend errors
which happen after that could be pretty funky anyway.

Alan Jenkins f2a9d5e8a6 eeepc-laptop: make input device a child of the platform device
Sysfs showed the ehotk input device as a "virtual" device - lies!
The input device is provided by a physical device, the eeepc platform.

This requires that we move the creation of the input device to come
after platform device is created.  Input initialization is moved from
ehotk_check() [sic] to a new function called eeepc_input_init().  This
brings the input device into line with the other eeepc-laptop devices.

Also, refuse to load if we fail to register the input device.

Alan Jenkins 1e7798547f eeepc-laptop: fix ordering of init and exit functions
1. input and backlight devices were registered after acpi notifications
   are enabled.  This left a window where eeepc_hotk_notify() might
   find these devices in an inconsistent (half-initialized) state.

-> Move all device registration into eeepc_hotk_add(), which is called
   before enabling acpi notifications.

2. input and backlight devices were unregistered before acpi
   notifications are disabled.  This left a window where
   eeepc_hotk_notify() might find these devices in an inconsistent
   (half-destroyed) state.

-> Move all device unregistration into eeepc_hotk_remove(), which is
   called after disabling acpi notifications.

3. The acpi driver was not freed if an error occured further down in
   eeepc_laptop_init().

-> The rest of eeepc_laptop_init() has been moved to eeepc_hotk_add(),
   so this is no longer a problem.

4. The acpi driver was unregistered before the platform driver.  This
   left a window where a sysfs access could attempt to read the ehotk
   structure after it had been freed by eeepc_hotk_remove().

-> The acpi driver is now unregistered as the last step in
   eeepc_laptop_exit(), so this is no longer a problem.

Alan Jenkins 07e84aa98f eeepc-laptop: fix pci hotplug race on load and unload
Wifi rfkill state changes can race with pci hotplug cleanup.  A simple
fix is to refresh the hotplug state just before deregistering the pci
hotplug slot.

There is also potential for a hotplug notification to fire too early
during setup, while the structures it uses are still being initialised.
(This could only happen if the BIOS performs hotplug itself; a bug
triggered by removing the battery while hibernated).  Avoid this by
registering the notifier later.  The same refresh mechanism is used
to handle rfkill state changes which can now race with registration.

Commit d0265f0 "eeepc-laptop: fix hot-unplug on resume" used a workqueue
to protect pci hotplug against multiple simultaneous calls during

This is in preparation to fix the potential pci hotplug race on unload.

Alan Jenkins 6d41839e76 eeepc-laptop: don't touch the pci slot if it was claimed by a different driver
The whole point of registering as a PCI hotplug driver was to prevent
conflict with pciehp.  At the moment it happens to work because
eeepc-laptop is loaded first, but it doesn't work the other way round.
If pciehp is loaded first then we fail to claim the slot - we need to
respect this and not handle hotplug events.

James Bottomley 1b364bf438 module: workaround duplicate section names
The root cause is a duplicate section name (.text); is this legal?
[ Amerigo Wang: "AFAIK, yes." ]

However, there's a problem with commit
6d76013381 in that if you fail to allocate
a mod->sect_attrs (in this case it's null because of the duplication),
it still gets used without checking in add_notes_attrs()

This should fix it

  but recent parisc toolchains seem to produce these modules and this

Eric W. Biederman 0db501bd06 inotify: Ensure we alwasy write the terminating NULL.
Before the rewrite copy_event_to_user always wrote a terqminating '\0'
byte to user space after the filename.  Since the rewrite that
terminating byte was skipped if your filename is exactly a multiple of
event_size.  Ouch!

So add one byte to name_size before we round up and use clear_user to
set userspace to zero like /dev/zero does instead of copying the
strange nul_inotify_event.  I can't quite convince myself len_to_zero
will never exceed 16 and even if it doesn't clear_user should be more
efficient and a more accurate reflection of what the code is trying to
do.

When setting the same GPIO number, multiple IRQ shared requests will be

All these oops and leaks were fixed with the following solution: keep the
previous allocated GPIO (if any) still allocated in case the new request
fails.  The alternative solution would desallocate the previous allocated
GPIO and set gpio as 0.

on every access of for example /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling.

Add a 'force' option to acpi_processor_set_throttling() to ensure
the reset really takes effect.

Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13389

This patch, together with the next one, fixes a regression introduced in
2.6.30, listed on the regression list. They have been available for 2.5
months now in bugzilla, but have not been picked up, despite various
reminders and without any reason given.

Google shows that numerous people are hitting this issue. The issue is in
itself relatively minor, but the bug in the code is clear.

The patches have been in all my kernels and today testing has shown that
throttling works correctly with the patches applied when the system
overheats (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13918#c14).

Costantino Leandro f3d83e2415 wmi: fix kernel panic when stack protection enabled.
Summary:
Kernel panic arise when stack protection is enabled, since strncat will
add a null terminating byte '\0'; So in functions
like this one (wmi_query_block):
        char wc[4]="WC";
	....
	strncat(method, block->object_id, 2);
        ...
the length of wc should be n+1 (wc[5]) or stack protection
fault will arise. This is not noticeable when stack protection is
disabled,but , isn't good either.
Config used: [CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL=y,
	      CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y]

Panic Trace
------------
       .... stack-protector: kernel stack corrupted in : fa7b182c

that is rather later.
acpi_gbl_permanent_mmap should be set in acpi_early_init()
if acpi is not disabled

and we have
> [    0.000000] ASUS P2B-DS detected: force use of acpi=ht

just don't load acpi_processor_init...

Michael Brunner 0d288162f2 thermal_sys: check get_temp return value
The return value of the get_temp function is not checked when doing a
thermal zone update.  This may lead to a critical shutdown if get_temp
fails and the content of the temp variable is incorrectly set higher than
the critical trip point.

This has been observed on a system with incorrect ACPI implementation
where the corresponding methods were not serialized and therefore
sometimes triggered ACPI errors (AE_ALREADY_EXISTS).  The following
critical shutdowns indicated a temperature of 2097 C, which was obviously
wrong.

The patch adds a return value check that jumps over all trip point
evaluations printing a warning if get_temp fails.  The trip points are
evaluated again on the next polling interval with successful get_temp
execution.

Oleg Nesterov 4ab6c08336 clone(): fix race between copy_process() and de_thread()
Spotted by Hiroshi Shimamoto who also provided the test-case below.

copy_process() uses signal->count as a reference counter, but it is not.
This test case

	#include <sys/types.h>
	#include <sys/wait.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <errno.h>
	#include <pthread.h>

	void *null_thread(void *p)
	{
		for (;;)
			sleep(1);

		return NULL;
	}

	void *exec_thread(void *p)
	{
		execl("/bin/true", "/bin/true", NULL);

		return null_thread(p);
	}

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		for (;;) {
			pid_t pid;
			int ret, status;

			pid = fork();
			if (pid < 0)
				break;

			if (!pid) {
				pthread_t tid;

				pthread_create(&tid, NULL, exec_thread, NULL);
				for (;;)
					pthread_create(&tid, NULL, null_thread, NULL);
			}

			do {
				ret = waitpid(pid, &status, 0);
			} while (ret == -1 && errno == EINTR);
		}

		return 0;
	}

quickly creates an unkillable task.

If copy_process(CLONE_THREAD) races with de_thread()
copy_signal()->atomic(signal->count) breaks the signal->notify_count
logic, and the execing thread can hang forever in kernel space.

Change copy_process() to increment count/live only when we know for sure
we can't fail.  In this case the forked thread will take care of its
reference to signal correctly.

If copy_process() fails, check CLONE_THREAD flag.  If it it set - do
nothing, the counters were not changed and current belongs to the same
thread group.  If it is not set, ->signal must be released in any case
(and ->count must be == 1), the forked child is the only thread in the
thread group.

We need more cleanups here, in particular signal->count should not be used
by de_thread/__exit_signal at all.  This patch only fixes the bug.
