This patch adds a new vcpu-based IOCTL to save and restore the local
apic registers for a single vcpu. The kernel only copies the apic page as
a whole, extraction of registers is left to userspace side. On restore, the
APIC timer is restarted from the initial count, this introduces a little
delay, but works fine.

This patch adds support for in-kernel ioapic save and restore (to
and from userspace). It uses the same get/set_irqchip ioctl as
in-kernel PIC.

Because lightweight exits (exits which don't involve userspace) are many
times faster than heavyweight exits, it makes sense to emulate high usage
devices in the kernel. The local APIC is one such device, especially for
Windows and for SMP, so we add an APIC model to kvm.
It also allows in-kernel host-side drivers to inject interrupts without
going through userspace.

According to latest memory ordering specification documents from Intel
and AMD, both manufacturers are committed to in-order loads from
cacheable memory for the x86 architecture. Hence, smp_rmb() may be a
simple barrier.
Also according to those documents, and according to existing practice in
Linux (eg. spin_unlock doesn't enforce ordering), stores to cacheable
memory are visible in program order too. Special string stores are safe
-- their constituent stores may be out of order, but they must complete
in order WRT surrounding stores. Nontemporal stores to WB memory can go
out of order, and so they should be fenced explicitly to make them
appear in-order WRT other stores. Hence, smp_wmb() may be a simple
barrier.
http://developer.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/318147.pdf
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/24593.pdf
In userspace microbenchmarks on a core2 system, fence instructions range
anywhere from around 15 cycles to 50, which may not be totally
insignificant in performance critical paths (code size will go down
too).
However the primary motivation for this is to have the canonical barrier
implementation for x86 architecture.
smp_rmb on buggy pentium pros remains a locked op, which is apparently
required.

This patch (as997) fixes a bug in the USB serial core. The core needs
to pay attention to drivers' requirements regarding the number and
type of endpoints a device has.
At the same time, the patch changes the NUM_DONT_CARE constant (which
is stored in a single-byte field) from -1 to a safer, unsigned value.
It also improves the kerneldoc for several fields in the
usb_serial_driver structure.
Finally, the patch replaces a list_for_each() with list_for_each_entry().

System suspends and hibernation are supposed to be as transparent as
possible. By this reasoning, if a USB device is already autosuspended
before the system sleep begins then it should remain autosuspended
after the system wakes up.

structure and uses it to avoid waking up devices which were suspended
when a system sleep began.

This patch (as995) cleans up the remains of the former NO_AUTOSUSPEND
quirk. Since autosuspend is disabled by default, we will let
userspace worry about which devices can safely be suspended. Thus the
lengthy series of quirk entries is no longer needed, and neither is
the quirk ID. I suppose someone might eventually run across a hub
that can't be suspended; let's ignore the possibility for now.
The patch also cleans up the hasty way in which autosuspend gets
disabled. Setting udev->autosuspend_delay to -1 wasn't quite right,
because the value is always supposed to be a multiple of HZ. It's
better to leave the delay value alone and set autosuspend_disabled,
which is what the quirk routine used to do.

This patch (as989) makes usbcore flush all outstanding URBs for each
device as the device is suspended. This will be true even when
CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND is not enabled.
In addition, an extra can_submit flag is added to the usb_device
structure. That flag will be turned off whenever a suspend request
has been received for the device, even if the device isn't actually
suspended because CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND isn't set.
It's no longer necessary to check for the device state being equal to
USB_STATE_SUSPENDED during URB submission; that check can be replaced
by a check of the can_submit flag. This also permits us to remove
some questionable references to the deprecated power.power_state field.

This adds two small inlines to the gadget stack, which will
often evaluate to compile-time constants. That can help
shrink object code and remove #ifdeffery.
- gadget_is_dualspeed(), currently always a compile-time
constant (depending on which controller is selected).
- gadget_is_otg(), usually a compile time "false", but this
is a runtime test if the platform enables OTG (since it's
reasonable to populate boards with different USB sockets).
It also updates two peripheral controller drivers to use these:
- fsl_usb2_udc, mostly OTG-related bugfixes: non-OTG devices
must follow the rules about drawing VBUS power, and OTG ones
need to reject invalid SET_FEATURE requests.
- omap_udc, just scrubbing a bit of #ifdeffery.
And also gadgetfs, which lost some #ifdefs and moved to a more
standard handling of DEBUG and VERBOSE_DEBUG.
The main benefits come from patches which will follow.

Redundant checks for non-NULL urb->dev are removed, as are checks of

A homegrown round-down-to-power-of-2 loop is simplified by using the

This patch (as946) eliminates many of the uses of urb->pipe in
usbcore. Unfortunately there will have to be a significant API
change, affecting all USB drivers, before we can remove it entirely.
This patch contents itself with changing only the interface to

This patch (as945) adds a bit to urb->transfer_flags for recording the
direction of the URB. The bit is set/cleared automatically in
usb_submit_urb() so drivers don't have to worry about it (although as
a result, it isn't valid until the URB has been submitted). Inline
routines are added for easily checking an URB's direction. They
replace calls to usb_pipein in the DMA-mapping parts of hcd.c.
For non-control endpoints, the direction is determined directly from
the endpoint descriptor. However control endpoints are
bi-directional; for them the direction is determined from the
bRequestType byte and the wLength value in the setup packet.

This patch (as944) adds an explicit "enabled" field to the
usb_host_endpoint structure and uses it in place of the current
mechanism. This is merely a time-space tradeoff; it makes checking
whether URBs may be submitted to an endpoint simpler. The existing
mechanism is efficient when converting urb->pipe to an endpoint
pointer, but it's not so efficient when urb->ep is used instead.
As a side effect, the procedure for enabling an endpoint is now a
little more complicated. The ad-hoc inline code in usb.c and hub.c
for enabling ep0 is now replaced with calls to usb_enable_endpoint,
which is no longer static.

This patch (as943) prepares the way for eliminating urb->pipe by
introducing an endpoint pointer into struct urb. For now urb->ep
is set by usb_submit_urb() from the pipe value; eventually drivers
will set it themselves and we will remove urb->pipe completely.
The patch also adds new inline routines to retrieve an endpoint
descriptor's number and transfer type, essentially as replacements for
usb_pipeendpoint and usb_pipetype.
usb_submit_urb(), usb_hcd_submit_urb(), and usb_hcd_unlink_urb() are
converted to use the new field and new routines. Other parts of
usbcore will be converted in later patches.

Sysfs file poll implementation is scattered over sysfs and kobject.
Event numbering is done in sysfs_dirent but wait itself is done on
kobject. This not only unecessarily bloats both kobject and
sysfs_dirent but is also buggy - if a sysfs_dirent is removed while
there still are pollers, the associaton betwen the kobject and
sysfs_dirent breaks and kobject may be freed with the pollers still
sleeping on it.
This patch moves whole poll implementation into sysfs_open_dirent.
Each time a sysfs_open_dirent is created, event number restarts from 1
and pollers sleep on sysfs_open_dirent. As event sequence number is
meaningless without any open file and pollers should have open file
and thus sysfs_open_dirent, this ephemeral event counting works and is
a saner implementation.
This patch fixes the dnagling sleepers bug and reduces the sizes of
kobject and sysfs_dirent by one pointer.
