Per kernel headers, device minor numbers are unsigned ints. Do the same in
this driver.

dev_dbg
Add a platform-device to scx200_gpio, and use its struct device dev member
(ie: devp) in dev_dbg() once.
There are 2 alternatives here (Im soliciting guidance/commentary):
- use isa_device, if/when its added to the kernel.
- alter scx200.c to EXPORT_GPL its private devp so that both scx200_gpio,
and the (to be added) nsc_gpio module can use it. Since the available devp
is in 'grandparent', this seems like too much 'action at a distance'.

GPIO SUPPORT FOR SCx200 & PC8736x
The patch-set reworks the 2.4 vintage scx200_gpio driver for modern 2.6, and
refactors GPIO support to reuse it in a new driver for the GPIO on PC-8736x
chips. Its handy for the Soekris.com net-4801, which has both chips.
These patches have been seen recently on Kernel-Mentors, and then
Kernel-Newbies ML, where Jesper Juhl kindly reviewed it. His feedback has
been incorporated. Thanks Jesper !
Its also gone to soekris-tech@soekris.com for possible testing by linux folks,
I've gotten 1 promise so far. Theyre mostly BSD folk over there, but we'll
see..
Device-file & Sysfs
The driver preserves the existing device-file interface, including the
write/cmd set, but adds v to 'view' the pin-settings & configs by inducing,
via gpio_dump(), a dev_info() call. Its a fairly crappy way to get status,
but it sticks to the syslog approach, conservatively.
Allowing users to voluntarily trigger logging is good, it gives them a
familiar way to confirm their app's control & use of the pins, and I've thus
reduced the pin-mode-updates from dev_info to dev_dbg.
I've recently bolted on a proto sysfs interface for both new drivers. Im not
including those patches here; they (the patch + doc-pre-patch) are still quite
raw (and unreviewed on KNML), and since they 'invent' a convention for GPIO, a
proper vetting is needed. Since this patchset is much bigger than my previous
ones, Id like to keep things simpler, and address it 1st, before bolting on
more stuff.
The driver-split
The Geode CPU and the PC-87366 Super-IO chip have GPIO units which share a
common pin-architecture (same pin features, with same bits controlling), but
with different addressing mechanics and port organizations.
The vintage driver expresses the pin capabilities with pin-mode commands
[OoPpTt],etc that change the pin configurations, and since the 2 chips share
pin-arch, we can reuse the read(), write() commands, once the implementation
is suitably adjusted.
The patchset adds a vtable: struct nsc_gpio_ops, to abstract the existing gpio
operations, then adjusts fileops.write() code to invoke operations via that
vtable. Driver specific open()s set private_data to the vtable so its
available for use by write().
The vtable gets the gpio_dump() too, since its user-friendly, and (could be
construed as) part of the current device-file interface. To support use of
dev_dbg() in write() & _dump(), the vtable gets a dev ptr too, set by both
scx200 & pc8736x _gpio drivers.
heres how the pins are presented in syslog:
[ 1890.176223] scx200_gpio.0: io00: 0x0044 TS OD PUE EDGE LO DEBOUNCE
[ 1890.287223] scx200_gpio.0: io01: 0x0003 OE PP PUD EDGE LO
nsc_gpio.c: new file is new home of several file-ops methods, which are
modified to get their vtable from filp->private_data, and use it where needed.
scx200_gpio.c: keeps some of its existing gpio routines, but now wires them up
via the vtable (they're invoked by nsc_gpio.c:nsc_gpio_write() thru this
vtable). A driver-spcific open() initializes filp->private_data with the
vtable.
Once the split is clean, and the scx200_gpio driver is working, we copy and
modify the function and variable names, and rework the access-method bodies
for the different addressing scheme.

In 2.6.17, there was a problem with cpu_notifiers and XFS. I provided a
band-aid solution to solve that problem. In the process, i undid all the
changes you both were making to ensure that these notifiers were available
only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).
We deferred the real fix to 2.6.18. Here is a set of patches that fixes the
XFS problem cleanly and makes the cpu notifiers available only at init time
(unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).
If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined then cpu notifiers are available at run
time.

generic_file_buffered_write() prefaults in user pages in order to avoid
deadlock on copying from the same page as write goes to.
However, it looks like there is a problem when write is vectored:
fault_in_pages_readable brings in current segment or its part (maxlen).
OTOH, filemap_copy_from_user_iovec is called to copy number of bytes
(bytes) which may exceed current segment, so filemap_copy_from_user_iovec
switches to the next segment which is not brought in yet. Pagefault is
generated. That causes the deadlock if pagefault is for the same page
write goes to: page being written is locked and not uptodate, pagefault
will deadlock trying to lock locked page.

Move the i386 VDSO down into a vma and thus randomize it.
Besides the security implications, this feature also helps debuggers, which
can COW a vma-backed VDSO just like a normal DSO and can thus do
single-stepping and other debugging features.
It's good for hypervisors (Xen, VMWare) too, which typically live in the same
high-mapped address space as the VDSO, hence whenever the VDSO is used, they
get lots of guest pagefaults and have to fix such guest accesses up - which
slows things down instead of speeding things up (the primary purpose of the
VDSO).
There's a new CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO (default=y) option, which provides support
for older glibcs that still rely on a prelinked high-mapped VDSO. Newer
distributions (using glibc 2.3.3 or later) can turn this option off. Turning
it off is also recommended for security reasons: attackers cannot use the
predictable high-mapped VDSO page as syscall trampoline anymore.
There is a new vdso=[0|1] boot option as well, and a runtime
/proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled sysctl switch, that allows the VDSO to be turned
on/off.
(This version of the VDSO-randomization patch also has working ELF
coredumping, the previous patch crashed in the coredumping code.)
This code is a combined work of the exec-shield VDSO randomization
code and Gerd Hoffmann's hypervisor-centric VDSO patch. Rusty Russell
started this patch and i completed it.

Commit c3ff8ec31c1249d268cd11390649768a12bec1b9 ("[PATCH] i386: Don't
miss pending signals returning to user mode after signal processing")
meant that vm86 interrupt/signal handling got broken for the case when
vm86 is called from kernel space.
In this scenario, if signal is pending because of vm86 interrupt,
do_notify_resume/do_signal exits immediately due to user_mode() check,
without processing any signals. Thus, resume_userspace handler is spinning
in a tight loop with signal pending and TIF_SIGPENDING is set. Previously
everything worked Ok.
No in-tree usage of vm86() from kernel space exists, but I've heard
about a number of projects out there which use vm86 calls from kernel,
one of them being this, for instance:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/vesafb-tng/

Remove the limit of 256 interrupt vectors by changing the value stored in
orig_{e,r}ax to be the complemented interrupt vector. The orig_{e,r}ax
needs to be < 0 to allow the signal code to distinguish between return from
interrupt and return from syscall. With this change applied, NR_IRQS can
be > 256.
Xen extends the IRQ numbering space to include room for dynamically
allocated virtual interrupts (in the range 256-511), which requires a more
permissive interface to do_IRQ.

Update SELinux to cause the keycreate process attribute held in
/proc/self/attr/keycreate to be inherited across a fork and reset upon
execve. This is consistent with the handling of the other process
attributes provided by SELinux and also makes it simpler to adapt logon
programs to properly handle the keycreate attribute.

With Goto-san's patch, we can add new pgdat/node at runtime. I'm now
considering node-hot-add with cpu + memory on ACPI.
I found acpi container, which describes node, could evaluate cpu before
memory. This means cpu-hot-add occurs before memory hot add.
In most part, cpu-hot-add doesn't depend on node hot add. But register_cpu(),
which creates symbolic link from node to cpu, requires that node should be
onlined before register_cpu(). When a node is onlined, its pgdat should be
there.
This patch-set holds off creating symbolic link from node to cpu
until node is onlined.
This removes node arguments from register_cpu().
Now, register_cpu() requires 'struct node' as its argument. But the array of
struct node is now unified in driver/base/node.c now (By Goto's node hotplug
patch). We can get struct node in generic way. So, this argument is not
necessary now.
This patch also guarantees add cpu under node only when node is onlined. It
is necessary for node-hot-add vs. cpu-hot-add patch following this.
Moreover, register_cpu calculates cpu->node_id by cpu_to_node() without regard
to its 'struct node *root' argument. This patch removes it.
Also modify callers of register_cpu()/unregister_cpu, whose args are changed
by register-cpu-remove-node-struct patch.

address array
This is to refresh node_data[] array for ia64. As I mentioned previous
patches, ia64 has copies of information of pgdat address array on each node as
per node data.
At v2 of node_add, this function used stop_machine_run() to update them. (I
wished that they were copied safety as much as possible.) But, in this patch,
this arrays are just copied simply, and set node_online_map bit after
completion of pgdat initialization.
So, kernel must touch NODE_DATA() macro after checking node_online_map().
(Current code has already done it.) This is more simple way for just
hot-add.....
Note : It will be problem when hot-remove will occur,
because, even if online_map bit is set, kernel may
touch NODE_DATA() due to race condition. :-(

address at system running
This is a preparatory patch to make common code for updating of NODE_DATA() of
ia64 between boottime and hotplug.
Current code remembers pgdat address in mem_data which is used at just boot
time. But its information can be used at hotplug time by moving to global
value. The next patch uses this array.

When new node becomes enable by hot-add, new sysfs file must be created for
new node. So, if new node is enabled by add_memory(), register_one_node() is
called to create it. In addition, I386's arch_register_node() and a part of
register_nodes() of powerpc are consolidated to register_one_node() as a
generic_code().
This is tested by Tiger4(IPF) with node hot-plug emulation.

This patch allows hot-add memory which is not aligned to section.
Now, hot-added memory has to be aligned to section size. Considering big
section sized archs, this is not useful.
When hot-added memory is registerd as iomem resoruce by iomem resource
patch, we can make use of that information to detect valid memory range.
Note: With this, not-aligned memory can be registerd. To allow hot-add
memory with holes, we have to do more work around add_memory().
(It doesn't allows add memory to already existing mem section.)

Register hot-added memory to iomem_resource. With this, /proc/iomem can
show hot-added memory.
Note: kdump uses /proc/iomem to catch memory range when it is installed.
So, kdump should be re-installed after /proc/iomem change.

Add node-hot-add support to add_memory().
node hotadd uses this sequence.
1. allocate pgdat.
2. refresh NODE_DATA()
3. call free_area_init_node() to initialize
4. create sysfs entry
5. add memory (old add_memory())
6. set node online
7. run kswapd for new node.
(8). update zonelist after pages are onlined. (This is already merged in -mm
due to update phase is difference.)
Note:
To make common function as much as possible,
there is 2 changes from v2.
- The old add_memory(), which is defiend by each archs,
is renamed to arch_add_memory(). New add_memory becomes
caller of arch dependent function as a common code.
- This patch changes add_memory()'s interface
From: add_memory(start, end)
TO : add_memory(nid, start, end).
It was cause of similar code that finding node id from
physical address is inside of old add_memory() on each arch.
In addition, acpi memory hotplug driver can find node id easier.
In v2, it must walk DSDT'S _CRS by matching physical address to
get the handle of its memory device, then get _PXM and node id.
Because input is just physical address.
However, in v3, the acpi driver can use handle to get _PXM and node id
for the new memory device. It can pass just node id to add_memory().
Fix interface of arch_add_memory() is in next patche.

For node hotplug, basically we have to allocate new pgdat. But, there are
several types of implementations of pgdat.
1. Allocate only pgdat.
This style allocate only pgdat area.
And its address is recorded in node_data[].
It is most popular style.
2. Static array of pgdat
In this case, all of pgdats are static array.
Some archs use this style.
3. Allocate not only pgdat, but also per node data.
To increase performance, each node has copy of some data as
a per node data. So, this area must be allocated too.
Ia64 is this style. Ia64 has the copies of node_data[] array
on each per node data to increase performance.
In this series of patches, treat (1) as generic arch.
generic archs can use generic function. (2) and (3) should have
its own if necessary.
This patch defines pgdat allocator.
Updating NODE_DATA() macro function is in other patch.
