The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar

Occasionally the system gets into a state where the CMOS clock has gotten
slightly ahead of current time and the periodic update of RTC fails. The
message is a nuisance and repeats spamming the log.See: http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-s-trbl-spec.htm#Q-LINUX-SET-RTC-MMSS
Rather than just removing the message, make it show only once and reduce
severity since it indicates a normal and non urgent condition.Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.===== begin semantic patch =====
// This adds an llseek= method to all file operations,

// The rules are

// - use seq_lseek for sequential files
// - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos
// - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos,
// but we still want to allow users to call lseek

Fix the IRQ flag handling naming. In linux/irqflags.h under one configuration,
it maps:local_irq_enable() -> raw_local_irq_enable()
local_irq_disable() -> raw_local_irq_disable()
local_irq_save() -> raw_local_irq_save()
...and under the other configuration, it maps:
raw_local_irq_enable() -> local_irq_enable()
raw_local_irq_disable() -> local_irq_disable()
raw_local_irq_save() -> local_irq_save()
...This is quite confusing. There should be one set of names expected of the
arch, and this should be wrapped to give another set of names that are expected
by users of this facility.Change this to have the arch provide:
flags = arch_local_save_flags()
flags = arch_local_irq_save()
arch_local_irq_restore(flags)
arch_local_irq_disable()
arch_local_irq_enable()
arch_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
arch_irqs_disabled()
arch_safe_halt()Then linux/irqflags.h wraps these to provide:
raw_local_save_flags(flags)
raw_local_irq_save(flags)
raw_local_irq_restore(flags)
raw_local_irq_disable()
raw_local_irq_enable()
raw_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
raw_irqs_disabled()
raw_safe_halt()with type checking on the flags 'arguments', and then wraps those to provide:
local_save_flags(flags)
local_irq_save(flags)
local_irq_restore(flags)
local_irq_disable()
local_irq_enable()
irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
irqs_disabled()
safe_halt()with tracing included if enabled.

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.
This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

Architectures implement dma_is_consistent() in different ways (some
misinterpret the definition of API in DMA-API.txt). So it hasn't been so
useful for drivers. We have only one user of the API in tree. Unlikely
out-of-tree drivers use the API.Even if we fix dma_is_consistent() in some architectures, it doesn't look
useful at all. It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't
allocate coherent memory at all. It's better to export only APIs that are
definitely necessary for drivers.Let's remove this API.

dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment. Architectures
defines it as ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (formally ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN). So we
can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.Note that some architectures implement dma_get_cache_alignment wrongly.
dma_get_cache_alignment() should return the minimum DMA alignment. So
fully-coherent architectures should return 1. This patch also fixes this

This patch is against the 2.6.34 source.
Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com:
These are the changes needed for the kernel to support
LINEMODE in the server.There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC.
When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver
are disabled. Input line editing, character echo, and mapping
of signals are all disabled. This allows the telnetd to turn
off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of
what state the user wants the terminal to be in.New ioctl:
TIOCSIG Generate a signal to processes in the
current process group of the pty.There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit.
When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit
is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the
next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL
bit set. This allows the process on the server side of the pty
to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then
issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state.Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet
I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for
any remote terminal protocol, including ssh.The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.
For historical reference, a good copy of the relevant files can be found
here:http://anonsvn.mit.edu/viewvc/krb5/trunk/src/appl/telnet/?pathrev=17741

As Jeff Dike pointed out, the Hayes ESP driver was removed in commit
f53a2ade0bb9f2a81f473e6469155172a96b7c38, so these ioctl definitions
should also be removed. This cleans up the remaining arch-specific
locations of this ioctl value.Thanks to Arnd for pointing these out.

CRISv10 uses a pretty old ld, which does not allow ALIGN(0),
(It becomes . = 0;) so instead we align to 1 byte.Signed-off-by: Jesper Nilsson
