git did actually warn me about the fact that I hadn't actually done an
"update-cache" on these two files, but the warning was at the bottom of
a list of all the files that _did_ change in the merge, so I never
noticed. My bad.
1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:
frozen(process) Check for frozen process
freezing(process) Check if a process is being frozen
freeze(process) Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
thaw_process(process) Restart process
frozen_process(process) Process is frozen now
2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
kernel sources except sched.h
3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver
4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.
5. Some whitespace cleanup
6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
PF_FROZEN).
This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

2.6.12-rc6-mm1 has a few remaining synchronize_kernel()s, some (but not
all) in comments. This patch changes these synchronize_kernel() calls (and
comments) to synchronize_rcu() or synchronize_sched() as follows:
- arch/x86_64/kernel/mce.c mce_read(): change to synchronize_sched() to
handle races with machine-check exceptions (synchronize_rcu() would not cut
it given RCU implementations intended for hardcore realtime use.
- drivers/input/serio/i8042.c i8042_stop(): change to synchronize_sched() to
handle races with i8042_interrupt() interrupt handler. Again,
synchronize_rcu() would not cut it given RCU implementations intended for
hardcore realtime use.
- include/*/kdebug.h comments: change to synchronize_sched() to handle races
with NMIs. As before, synchronize_rcu() would not cut it...
- include/linux/list.h comment: change to synchronize_rcu(), since this
comment is for list_del_rcu().
- security/keys/key.c unregister_key_type(): change to synchronize_rcu(),
since this is interacting with RCU read side.
- security/keys/process_keys.c install_session_keyring(): change to
synchronize_rcu(), since this is interacting with RCU read side.

This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that
Arjan van de Ven and I came up with.
The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API
spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the
usage side.
Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the
complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined
__smp_processor_id.
In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols:
- smp_processor_id(): debug variant.
- raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing
uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined
by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h.
There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT:
- debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to
smp_processor_id().
Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new
lib/smp_processor_id.c file. All related comments got updated and/or
clarified.
I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86:
{SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT}
I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT. (Other
architectures are untested, but should work just fine.)

It looks like logic for enabling hardware tapping in ALPS driver was
inverted and we enable it only if it was already enabled by BIOS or
firmware.
I have a confirmation from one user that the patch below fixes the problem
for him and it might be beneficial if we could get it into 2.6.12.

entry->proc_fops is a pointer to struct file_operations. When we
call create_proc_entry(...), it pointis to proc_file_operations,
deep in fs/proc/generic.c. By adding a 'poll' member to this struct
we effectively force the 'poll' member on every file in /proc,
which is wrong (they all fail select(...) calls).
This patch changes a copy of entry->proc_fops and reassigns it rather
than changing the original member.

uinput_alloc_device() is supposed to return the number of bytes read,
the value is returned to uinput_write() and from there to userspace. If
EV_ABS is set then it returns the value from uinput_validate_absbits()
instead, which is zero when everything is ok instead of the count.

I have an Ahtec laptop with a ALPS GlidePoint device, with 4 buttons.
With Linux hernel 2.6.12rc4 and rc5 I'm unable to use the vertical
scroll buttons (BACK and FORWARD).
BACK gets detected as BTN_MIDDLE and FORWARD is undetected.
I've modified the drivers/input/mouse/alps.c from 2.6.12rc5 and now it
works fine!
