775b64d2b6 PM: Acquire device locks on suspend
This patch reorganizes the way suspend and resume notifications are
sent to drivers.  The major changes are that now the PM core acquires
every device semaphore before calling the methods, and calls to
device_add() during suspends will fail, while calls to device_del()
during suspends will block.

It also provides a way to safely remove a suspended device with the
help of the PM core, by using the device_pm_schedule_removal() callback
introduced specifically for this purpose, and updates two drivers (msr
and cpuid) that need to use it.

feed9bab7b spi: omap2_mcspi PIO RX fix
Before transmission of the last word in PIO RX_ONLY mode rx+tx mode
is enabled:

	/* prevent last RX_ONLY read from triggering
	 * more word i/o: switch to rx+tx
	 */
	if (c == 0 && tx == NULL)
		mcspi_write_cs_reg(spi,
				OMAP2_MCSPI_CHCONF0, l);

But because c is decremented after the test, c will never be zero and
rx+tx will not be enabled. This breaks RX_ONLY mode PIO transfers.

Fix it by decrementing c in the beginning of the various I/O loops.

c5c99429fa fix hugepages leak due to pagetable page sharing
The shared page table code for hugetlb memory on x86 and x86_64
is causing a leak.  When a user of hugepages exits using this code
the system leaks some of the hugepages.

-------------------------------------------------------
Part of /proc/meminfo just before database startup:
HugePages_Total:  5500
HugePages_Free:   5500
HugePages_Rsvd:      0
Hugepagesize:     2048 kB

Just before shutdown:
HugePages_Total:  5500
HugePages_Free:   4475
HugePages_Rsvd:      0
Hugepagesize:     2048 kB

After shutdown:
HugePages_Total:  5500
HugePages_Free:   4988
HugePages_Rsvd:
0 Hugepagesize:     2048 kB
----------------------------------------------------------

The problem occurs durring a fork, in copy_hugetlb_page_range().  It
locates the dst_pte using huge_pte_alloc().  Since huge_pte_alloc() calls
huge_pmd_share() it will share the pmd page if can, yet the main loop in
copy_hugetlb_page_range() does a get_page() on every hugepage.  This is a
violation of the shared hugepmd pagetable protocol and creates additional
referenced to the hugepages causing a leak when the unmap of the VMA
occurs.  We can skip the entire replication of the ptes when the hugepage
pagetables are shared.  The attached patch skips copying the ptes and the
get_page() calls if the hugetlbpage pagetable is shared.

Because the data field was never filled and a binary sysctl handler was
never written this sysctl has never been usable through the sys_sysctl
interface.  So just remove the binary sysctl number.  Making the kernel

fabe874a48 lockdep: fix kernel crash on module unload
Michael Wu noticed in his lkml post at

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119396182726091&w=2

that certain wireless drivers ended up having their name in module
memory, which would then crash the kernel on module unload.

The patch he proposed was a bit clumsy in that it increased the size of
a lockdep entry significantly; the patch below tries another approach,
it checks, on module teardown, if the name of a class is in module space
and then zaps the class.  This is very similar to what we already do
with keys that are in module space.

depends on what the ACPI DMI list knows about the system,
and that is reflectd in dmesg:

1) System unknown to DMI:

ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored
ACPI: DMI System Vendor: LENOVO
ACPI: DMI Product Name: 7661W1P
ACPI: DMI Product Version: ThinkPad T61
ACPI: DMI Board Name: 7661W1P
ACPI: DMI BIOS Vendor: LENOVO
ACPI: DMI BIOS Date: 10/18/2007
ACPI: Please send DMI info above to linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org
ACPI: If "acpi_osi=Linux" works better, please notify linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org

2) System known to DMI, but effect of OSI(Linux) unknown:

ACPI: DMI detected: Lenovo ThinkPad T61
...
ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored via DMI
ACPI: If "acpi_osi=Linux" works better, please notify linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org

3) System known to DMI, which disables _OSI(Linux):

ACPI: DMI detected: Lenovo ThinkPad T61
...
ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored via DMI

4) System known to DMI, which enable _OSI(Linux):

ACPI: DMI detected: Lenovo ThinkPad T61
ACPI: Added _OSI(Linux)
...
ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query honored via DMI

cmdline overrides take precidence over the built-in
default and the DMI prescribed default.
cmdline "acpi_osi=Linux" results in:

ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query honored via cmdline

7ce95ce5c6 ACPI: Delete Intel Customer Reference Board (CRB) from OSI(Linux) DMI list
Linux does not want BIOS writers to invoke _OSI(Linux) -
for in the field it causes more Windows incompatibility problems
than it solves.

So when it is seen in the BIOS for an Intel Customer Reference Board,
Linux should ignore its effect by default, and should complain loudly.
Otherwise, the reference BIOS will go unfixed, and the bad BIOS
will spread to the field.

Users of this board can get the old behavior with "acpi_osi=Linux"

As this was the only entry, delete acpi_osl_dmi_table[].
