a2f809b08a irq: change ACPI GSI APIs to also take a device argument
We want to use dev_to_node() later on, to be aware of the 'home node'
of the GSI in question.

[ Impact: cleanup, prepare the IRQ code to be more NUMA aware ]

e5b89542ea virtio-rng: Remove false BUG for spurious callbacks
The virtio-rng drivers checks for spurious callbacks. Since
callbacks can be implemented via shared interrupts (e.g. PCI) this
could lead to guest kernel oopses with lots of virtio devices.

25176ed670 ipmi: fix statistics counting issues
Bela Lubkin noticed that the statistics for send IPMB and LAN commands
in the IPMI driver could be incremented even if an error occurred.  Move
the increments to the proper place to avoid this.

Also add some statistics for retransmissions that failed, and some little
helper functions to neaten up the code a little.

c0b7988200 Revert "console ASCII glyph 1:1 mapping"
This reverts commit 1c55f18717.

Ingo Brueckl was assuming that reverting to 1:1 mapping for chars >= 128
was not useful, but it happens to be: due to the limitations of the
Linux console, when a blind user wants to read BIG5 on it, he has no
other way than loading a font without SFM and let the 1:1 mapping permit
the screen reader to get the BIG5 encoding.

Recently we added memtype tracking in remap_pfn_range, and /dev/mem mmap

any more. That means another ~100 lines of code removed :-).

syscall it is held whole time gap since open to close, for
interrupt, the reference count is increased in the irq handler.

1b0f7ffd0e pids: kill signal_struct-> __pgrp/__session and friends
We are wasting 2 words in signal_struct without any reason to implement
task_pgrp_nr() and task_session_nr().

task_session_nr() has no callers since
2e2ba22ea4, we can remove it.

task_pgrp_nr() is still (I believe wrongly) used in fs/autofsX and
fs/coda.

This patch reimplements task_pgrp_nr() via task_pgrp_nr_ns(), and kills
__pgrp/__session and the related helpers.

The change in drivers/char/tty_io.c is cosmetic, but hopefully makes sense
anyway.

c2d7543851 filesystem freeze: allow SysRq emergency thaw to thaw frozen filesystems
Now that the filesystem freeze operation has been elevated to the VFS, and
is just an ioctl away, some sort of safety net for unintentionally frozen
root filesystems may be in order.

The timeout thaw originally proposed did not get merged, but perhaps
something like this would be useful in emergencies.

For example, freeze /path/to/mountpoint may freeze your root filesystem if
you forgot that you had that unmounted.

I chose 'j' as the last remaining character other than 'h' which is sort
of reserved for help (because help is generated on any unknown character).

I've tested this on a non-root fs with multiple (nested) freezers, as well
as on a system rendered unresponsive due to a frozen root fs.

5886cea45d [PATCH] sysrq: include interrupt.h instead of irq.h
With "cpumask: update irq_desc to use cpumask_var_t"
we get this build failure on s390:

  CC      drivers/char/sysrq.o
In file included from drivers/char/sysrq.c:38:
include/linux/irq.h: In function 'init_alloc_desc_masks':
include/linux/irq.h:442: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

drivers/char/sysrq.c should include interrupt.h instead of irq.h.

99b7623380 proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner
Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.

We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.

But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.

->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.

rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.

Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.

So, let's nuke it.

Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

27157a7024 trivial: drivers/char/bsr.c: Storage class should be before const qualifier
The C99 specification states in section 6.11.5:

The placement of a storage-class specifier other than at the
beginning of the declaration specifiers in a declaration is an
obsolescent feature.
