61fbeba11c USB: prevent autosuspend during hub initialization
This patch (as1153) fixes a potential problem in hub initialization.
Starting in 2.6.28, initialization was split into several tasks to
help speed up booting.  This opens the possibility that the hub may be
autosuspended before all the initialization tasks can complete.

Normally that wouldn't matter, but with incomplete initialization
there is a risk that the hub would never autoresume -- especially if
devices were plugged into the hub beforehand.  The solution is a
simple one-line change to suppress autosuspend until the
initialization is finished.

74511bb340 USB: Unusual dev for the "Kyocera / Contax SL300R T*" digital camera.
The camera reports an incorrect size and fails to handle PREVENT-ALLOW
MEDIUM REMOVAL commands.  The patch marks the camera as an unusual dev
and adds the flags to enable the workarounds for both shortcomings.

cde217a556 USB: fix crash when URBs are unlinked after the device is gone
This patch (as1151) protects usbcore against drivers that try to
unlink an URB after the URB's device or bus have been removed.  The
core does not currently check for this, and certain drivers can cause
a crash if they are running while an HCD is unloaded.

Certainly it would be best to fix the guilty drivers.  But a little
defensive programming doesn't hurt, especially since it appears that
quite a few drivers need to be fixed.

The patch prevents the problem by grabbing a reference to the device
while an unlink is in progress and using a new spinlock to synchronize
unlinks with device removal.  (There's no need to acquire a reference
to the bus as well, since the device structure itself keeps a
reference to the bus.)  In addition, the kerneldoc is updated to
indicate that URBs should not be unlinked after the disconnect method
returns.

15a2ee74d2 Fix incompatibility with versions of Perl less than 5.6.0
Fix headers_install.pl and headers_check.pl to be compatible with versions
of Perl less than 5.6.0.  It has been tested with Perl 5.005_03 and 5.8.8.
I realize this may not be an issue for most people, but there will still
be some that hit it, I imagine.  There are three basic issues:

1. Prior to 5.6.0 open() only used 2 arguments, and the versions of
the scripts in 2.6.27.1 use 3.
2. 5.6.0 also introduced the ability to use uninitialized scalar
variables as file handles, which the current scripts make use of.
3. Lastly, 5.6.0 also introduced the pragma 'use warnings'. We can use
the -w switch and be backwards compatible.

de2addf592 kbuild: do not include arch/<ARCH>/include/asm in find-sources twice.
Architectures which have moved their includes to arch/<ARCH>/include
now list the headers twice in the source listing used by "make
cscope" and friends, causing those tools to list symbols twice.

Skipping these files in the ALLSOURCE_ARCHS pass rather than removing
the ALLINCLUDE_ARCHS pass preserves the semantics of the later.

f03b283f08 kbuild: tag with git revision when git describe is missing
setlocalversion used to use an abbreviated git commit sha1 to generate the
tag.  This was changed in commit d882421f4e
"kbuild: change CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO to use a git-describe-ish format"
to use git describe to come up with a tag.  Which is nice, but git describe
sometimes can't describe the revision.
Commit 56b2f0706d ("setlocalversion: do not
describe if there is nothing to describe") addressed this, but there is still
no tag generated.

So, generate a plain abbreviated sha1 tag like setlocalversion used to when
git describe comes up short.

e6e6733ed9 kbuild: prevent modpost from looking for a .cmd file for a static library linked into a module
This fixes a compile time warning which occurs whenever a static library
is linked into a kernel module.  MODPOST tries to look for a
".<modulename>.cmd" file to look for its dependencies, but that file
doesn't exist or get generated for static libraries.

This patch prevents modpost from looking for a .cmd file when a module is
linked with a static library

f3384b28a0 ftrace: fix trace_nop config select
Impact: build fix on non-function-tracing architectures

The trace_nop is the tracer that is defined when no tracer is set in
the ftrace infrastructure.

The trace_nop was mistakenly selected by HAVE_FTRACE due to the confusion
between ftrace infrastructure and the ftrace function tracer (which has
been solved by renaming the function tracer).

This patch changes the select to the approriate TRACING.

This patch should fix compile errors on architectures that do not define
the FUNCTION_TRACER.

0b6e4d56bf ftrace: perform an initialization for ftrace to enable it
Impact: corrects a bug which made the non-dyn function tracer not functional

With latest git, the non-dynamic function tracer didn't get any trace.

The problem was the fact that ftrace_enabled wasn't initialized to 1
because ftrace hasn't any init function when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is disabled.

So when a tracer tries to register an ftrace_ops struct,
__register_ftrace_function failed to set the hook.

This patch corrects it by setting an init function to initialize
ftrace during the boot.

87c6f40128 x86, gart: fix gart detection for Fam11h CPUs
Impact: fix AMD Family 11h boot hangs / USB device problems

The AMD Fam11h CPUs have a K8 northbridge. This northbridge is different
from other family's because it lacks GART support (as I just learned).

But the kernel implicitly expects a GART if it finds an AMD northbridge.

Fix this by removing the Fam11h northbridge id from the scan list of K8
northbridges. This patch also changes the message in the GART driver
about missing K8 northbridges to tell that the GART is missing which is
the correct information in this case.

11a6b0c933 x86: 64 bit print out absent pages num too
so users are not confused with memhole causing big total ram

we don't need to worry about 32 bit, because memhole is always
above max_low_pfn.

e7706fc691 x86, kdump: fix invalid access on i386 sparsemem
Impact: fix kdump crash on 32-bit sparsemem kernels

Since linux-2.6.27, kdump has failed on i386 sparsemem kernel.
1st-kernel gets a panic just before switching to 2nd-kernel.

The cause is that a kernel accesses invalid mem_section by
page_to_pfn(image->swap_page) at machine_kexec().
image->swap_page is allocated if kexec for hibernation, but
it is not allocated if kdump. So if kdump, a kernel should
not access the mem_section corresponding to image->swap_page.

The attached patch fixes this invalid access.
