Instead of having a bunch of ifdefs in sysctl.c move all of the pty sysctl
logic into drivers/char/pty.cAs well as cleaning up the logic this prevents sysctl_check_table from
complaining that the root table has a NULL data pointer on something with
generic methods.Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

The sysctl binary paths don't look as if they even code work, .data is not
filled in, and all of the proc_handlers look at extra1 and there is not
strategy routine.So just kill the binary paths.
In addition this patch removes the setting of extra1 on directories. It
doesn't look like the parport code ever examines it, and it's bad sysctl form.[bunk@kernel.org: remove parport_device_num()]

The binary interface for the cdrom sysctls can't possilby work. So remove the
binary sysctls and update the test for finding out which sysctl table entry we
are dealy with to use the procname and not the ctl_name (which I am removing).Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

The following scenario leads to total confusion of the platform firmware on
some boxes (eg. HPC nx6325):
* Hibernate with ACPI enabled
* Resume passing "acpi=off" to the boot kernelTo prevent this from happening it's necessary to check if ACPI is enabled (and
enable it if that's not the case) _right_ _after_ control has been transfered
from the boot kernel to the image kernel, before device_power_up() is called
(ie. with interrupts disabled). Enabling ACPI after calling
device_power_up() turns out to be insufficient.For this reason, introduce new hibernation callback ->leave() that will be
executed before device_power_up() by the restored image kernel. To make it
work, it also is necessary to move swsusp_suspend() from swsusp.c to disk.c
(it's name is changed to "create_image", which is more up to the point).Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop
the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes
to sleep. This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related
things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be
incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC). There are plenty of times that we
want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial
console to be suspended.This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel
boot parameter (no_console_suspend). By default, the serial console will
be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing
'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain
alive during suspend.For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be
applied to make this work for things like netconsole.Signed-off-by: Andres Salomon

During hibernation we also need to tell the ACPI core that we're going to put
the system into the S4 sleep state. For this reason, an additional method in
'struct hibernation_ops' is needed, playing the role of set_target() in
'struct platform_suspend_operations'. Moreover, the role of the .prepare()
method is now different, so it's better to introduce another method, that in
general may be different from .prepare(), that will be used to prepare the
platform for creating the hibernation image (.prepare() is used anyway to
notify the platform that we're going to enter the low power state after the
image has been saved).Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

There is no reason why the .prepare() and .finish() methods in 'struct
platform_suspend_ops' should take any arguments, since architectures don't use
these methods' argument in any practically meaningful way (ie. either the
target system sleep state is conveyed to the platform by .set_target(), or
there is only one suspend state supported and it is indicated to the PM core
by .valid(), or .prepare() and .finish() aren't defined at all). There also
is no reason why .finish() should return any result.Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

The name of 'struct pm_ops' suggests that it is related to the power
management in general, but in fact it is only related to suspend. Moreover,
its name should indicate what this structure is used for, so it seems
reasonable to change it to 'struct platform_suspend_ops'. In that case, the
name of the global variable of this type used by the PM core and the names of
related functions should be changed accordingly.Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

Move the definition of 'struct pm_ops' and related functions from
to .There are, at least, the following reasons to do that:
* 'struct pm_ops' is specifically related to suspend and not to the power
management in general.
* As long as 'struct pm_ops' is defined in , any modification of it
causes the entire kernel to be recompiled, which is unnecessary and annoying.
* Some suspend-related features are already defined in , so it
is logical to move the definition of 'struct pm_ops' into there.
* 'struct hibernation_ops', being the hibernation-related counterpart of
'struct pm_ops', is defined in .Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

except the last instance in logo.c. This patch removes the last two
instances in logo.c. They conditions were not useful anyway as when
compiled in they would always evaluate as true.Last not least this is necessary to get the SGI IP22 and DECstation kernels

The patch
- Includes the call to capilib_data_b3_req in the spinlock. This routine
in turn calls the offending mq_enqueue routine that triggered the
freeze if not locked. This should also fix other indicators of
incosistent capilib_msgidqueue list, that trigger messages like:
Oct 5 03:05:57 BERL0 kernel: kcapi: msgid 3019 ncci 0x30301 not on queue
that we saw several times a day (usually several in a row).
- Fixes all occurrences of c4_dispatch_tx to be called with active
spinlock, there were some instances where no lock was active. Mostly
these are in very infrequently called routines, so the additional
performance penalty is minimal.Signed-off-by: Karsten Keil
