Hi again,

Still doing my compile, and got this:

 CC [M]  security/root_plug.o
security/root_plug.c:39: warning: missing initializer
security/root_plug.c:39: warning: (near initialization for `__parm_vendor_id.addr')

security/root_plug.c:48: warning: missing initializer
security/root_plug.c:48: warning: (near initialization for `__parm_debug.addr')

Simply upgrading root_plug to use the new module parameter syntax seemed to do
the trick. I made the debug writable, the others just readable to root.

Driver core: platform_device_unregister should release resources first
             and only then call device_unregister, otherwise if there
             are no more references to the device it will be freed and
             the fucntion will try to access freed memory.

Add platform_device_register_simple to register platform devices
requiring minimal resource and memory management.  The device
will have standard release function that just frees memory
occupied by the platform device. By having release function in
the driver core modules using such devices can be unloaded
without waiting for the last reference to the device to be
dropped.

instead of pxa2xx_. This changes pxamci to pxa2xx-mci, pxa2xx_udc

There was a memory leak in epoll.

The reference count (d_count) of the struct dentry of a new epoll-fd was
set to TWO.  (new_inode() assigned ONE, than ep_getfd() incremented it by
dget()).  There was only ONE reference to this dentry, so struct dentry and
struct inode were never freed.

This patch sets the correct capabilities flag for vesafb and vga16fb to
provide fbcon with the correct hints as to the best scrolling mode.

Added a new scrolling mode (SCROLL_PAN_REDRAW) to fbcon that should greatly
benefit unaccelerated drivers such as VESA fbdev.  An increase of 3-10 times
in scrolling speed can be expected.

Currently, fbcon has 4 different scrolling methods (1-4).  Potentially, we can
have 6.  This patch implements SCROLL_PAN_REDRAW (5).  SCROLL_WRAP_REDRAW (6)
is still unimplemented.

Scroll Mode		Operation	YPan	YWrap
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. SCROLL_ACCEL		copyarea	No	No
2. SCROLL_REDRAW	imageblit	No	No
3. SCROLL_PAN		copyarea	Yes	No
4. SCROLL_WRAP		copyarea	No	Yes
5. SCROLL_PAN_REDRAW 	imageblit	Yes	No	
6. SCROLL_WRAP_REDRAW	imageblit	No	Yes
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Note 1:  I've changed the nomenclature to increase clarity:

SCROLL_ACCEL = SCROLL_MOVE
SCROLL_REDRAW = SCROLL_REDRAW
SCROLL_PAN = SCROLL_PAN_MOVE
SCROLL_WRAP = SCROLL_WRAP_MOVE

To demonstrate the effect of each of the scrolling methods on
an unaccelerated PCI/AGP-based driver (vesafb), I used a simple
benchmark (time cat linux/MAINTAINERS - a 50K text file). The
framebuffer is set at:

1024x768-8bpp, 8x16 font, yres_virtual = 2*yres

1. SCROLL_MOVE:
real    5m50.277s
user    0m0.001s
sys     5m50.227s

Almost 6 minutes for a 50K text file.  Using soft copyarea on a
PCI-based card is just too slow (because copyarea has to 
read from the framebuffer memory).

2. SCROLL_PAN_MOVE
scrollmode: SCROLL_PAN
real    0m8.592s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m8.586s

Using ypan with copyarea dramatically improves the scrolling.  However, the
scrolling action is jerky (fast during the panning stages, slows down during
the copyarea stages).

3. SCROLL_REDRAW (this is the default scrolling mode)
real    0m3.189s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m3.170s

Simply eliminating the copyarea, even without ypanning, makes it faster than
SCROLL_PAN_MOvE.  Plus, the scrolling action is smoother.

So, if we combine YPanning with imageblit (PAN_REDRAW), we get this:

4. SCROLL_PAN_REDRAW
real    0m0.520s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.518s

That's almost 6x faster than SCROLL_REDRAW.  Increasing the amount of video
RAM still increases the speed, but not very dramatically.  Higher than 16 MB,
the increase is negligible.

Using an accelerated driver, we see almost the same effect but not as
dramatically:

1. SCROLL_MOVE - accel
real    0m3.112s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m3.112s

2. SCROLL_REDRAW - accel
real    0m2.604s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m2.603s

Redraw is still faster than move, but not much.

3. SCROLL_PAN_MOVE - accel
real    0m0.203s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.202s

4. SCROLL_PAN_REDRAW - accel
real    0m0.326s
user    0m0.002s
sys     0m0.323s

This is one exception.  If panning is enabled, move is actually faster than
redraw.  As to why, I don't know.

So based on the above, fbcon will choose the scrolling method based on the
following preference:

Ypan/Ywrap > accel imageblit > accel copyarea >
soft imageblit > (soft copyarea)

Note 2: Exception: accel copyarea > accel imageblit if Pan/Wrap is enabled.

Note 3: soft copyarea will be avoided by fbcon as much as possible unless
there is a specific override, ie., FBINFO_READS_FAST flag is set.  If this
flag is set, fbcon will prefer copyarea over imageblit, accel or soft.

As a final note, in order for fbcon to use the best scrolling method, the
low-level drivers must provide the correct hinting by setting the
FBINFO_HWACCEL_* flags.

To vesafb users: boot vesafb like this for fastest scrolling action:

1.  From Petr Vandrovec <vandrove@vc.cvut.cz>.

Begin quote

        yesterday I finally found why 2.6.x has problems with taking
        over vgacon.  Problem is that take_over_console does:

  	if (IS_VISIBLE)
    	save_screen(i);
  	...
  	visual_init(i, 0);
  	...

        so code nicely saves screen contents, and calls visual_init,
        which calls fbcon's init, which in turn can issue vc_resize.  And this
        vc_resize will trigger read from vc->vc_origin.  But vc_origin still
        points to videomemory, not to the buffer where save_screen() copied
        its data.

End quote

So updating vc->vc_origin to point to screenbuf after the previous console
deinitializes allows fbcon to correctly update the screen from the screen
buffer.  This change makes the clearing of vram (using fillrect) unnecessary.

2.  If FBINFO_MISC_MODESWITCH flag is set in info, do the set_par() in
fbcon_switch() instead of piggy-backing the set_par() on fbcon_resize().  This
preserves the current var, skipping the unnecessary fb_find_mode() step.

Ugly workaround.  When switching from KD_GRAPHICS to KD_TEXT, the event is
captured at fbcon_blank() allowing fbcon to reinitialize the hardware.
However, some hardware requires the reinitialization to be done
immediately, others require it to be done later.  Others may need it to be
done immediately and later, this is the worst case.

This patch introduces a notifier chain for cpu idle.  There are two events
CPU_IDLE and CPU_NOT_IDLE that are called just before the cpu goes to sleep
and right after the cpu woke up again.  The notifier is used to simplify the
no-hz-timer-in-idle feature and the virtual cpu timers.  In addition the
virtual cpu timer functions have been moved to arch/s390/kernel/vtime.c, which
gives a nice separation between the timer functions related to real time and
the timer functions related to virtual cpu time.

This is another patch on the way towards a unified XFRM tunnel
encapsulation function.

This patch changes the value of props.header_len for IPCOMP to
exclude the IPCOMP header.  The reason is that the IPCOMP header
is added only if the packet is compressible.  That is, if the
size of the compressed payload plus the size of the IPCOMP header
is less than that of the original payload.

This means that the IPCOMP encapsulation does not impose any
overhead at all as far as the MTU is concerned.  The current
code incorrectly reduces the MTU by the size of the IPCOMP
header.

As a side-effect, this means that we don't have to move the
IP header around when IPCOMP is used.
