All sound/sound_firmware.c contains is mod_firmware_load() that is a legacy
API only used by some OSS drivers.
This patch builds it into an own sound_firmware module that is only built
depending on CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME making the kernel slightly smaller for ALSA
users.

The patches solve the following problem: We want to grant access to devices
based on who is logged in from where, etc. This includes switching back and
forth between multiple user sessions, etc.
Using ACLs to define device access for logged-in users gives us all the
flexibility we need in order to fully solve the problem.
Device special files nowadays usually live on tmpfs, hence tmpfs ACLs.
Different distros have come up with solutions that solve the problem to
different degrees: SUSE uses a resource manager which tracks login sessions
and sets ACLs on device inodes as appropriate. RedHat uses pam_console, which
changes the primary file ownership to the logged-in user. Others use a set of
groups that users must be in in order to be granted the appropriate accesses.
The freedesktop.org project plans to implement a combination of a
console-tracker and a HAL-device-list based solution to grant access to
devices to users, and more distros will likely follow this approach.
These patches have first been posted here on 2 February 2005, and again
on 8 January 2006. We have been shipping them in SLES9 and SLES10 with
no problems reported. The previous submission is archived here:

POSIX states that poll() shall fail with EINVAL if nfds > OPEN_MAX. In
this context, POSIX is referring to sysconf(OPEN_MAX), which is the value
of current->signal->rlim[RLIMIT_NOFILE].rlim_cur in the linux kernel, not
the compile-time constant which happens to also be named OPEN_MAX. In the
current code, an application may poll up to max_fdset file descriptors,
even if this exceeds RLIMIT_NOFILE. The current code also breaks
applications which poll more than max_fdset descriptors, which worked circa
2.4.18 when the check was against NR_OPEN, which is 1024*1024. This patch
enforces the limit precisely as POSIX defines, even if RLIMIT_NOFILE has
been changed at run time with ulimit -n.
To elaborate on the rationale for this, there are three cases:
1) RLIMIT_NOFILE is at the default value of 1024
In this (default) case, the patch changes nothing. Calls with nfds > 1024
fail with EINVAL both before and after the patch, and calls with nfds <=
1024 pass the check both before and after the patch, since 1024 is the
initial value of max_fdset.
2) RLIMIT_NOFILE has been raised above the default
In this case, poll() becomes more permissive, allowing polling up to
RLIMIT_NOFILE file descriptors even if less than 1024 have been opened.
The patch won't introduce new errors here. If an application somehow
depends on poll() failing when it polls with duplicate or invalid file
descriptors, it's already broken, since this is already allowed below 1024,
and will also work above 1024 if enough file descriptors have been open at
some point to cause max_fdset to have been increased above nfds.
3) RLIMIT_NOFILE has been lowered below the default
In this case, the system administrator or the user has gone out of their
way to protect the system from inefficient (or malicious) applications
wasting kernel memory. The current code allows polling up to 1024 file
descriptors even if RLIMIT_NOFILE is much lower, which is not what the user
or administrator intended. Well-written applications which only poll
valid, unique file descriptors will never notice the difference, because
they'll hit the limit on open() first. If an application gets broken
because of the patch in this case, then it was already poorly/maliciously
designed, and allowing it to work in the past was a violation of POSIX and
a DoS risk on low-resource systems.
With this patch, poll() will permit exactly what POSIX suggests, no more,
no less, and for any run-time value set with ulimit -n, not just 256 or
1024. There are existing apps which which poll a large number of file
descriptors, some of which may be invalid, and if those numbers stradle
1024, they currently fail with or without the patch in -mm, though they
worked fine under 2.4.18.

page-writeback.c has a static local variable "total_pages", which is the
total number of pages in the system.
There is a global variable "vm_total_pages", which is the total number of
pages the VM controls.
Both are assigned from the return value of nr_free_pagecache_pages().
This patch removes the local variable and uses the global variable in that
place.
One more issue with the local static variable "total_pages" is that it is
not updated when new pages are hot-added. Since vm_total_pages is updated
when new pages are hot-added, this patch fixes that problem too.

The cpuset code handling hot unplug of CPUs or Memory Nodes was incorrect -
it could remove a CPU or Node from the top cpuset, while leaving it still
in some child cpusets.
One basic rule of cpusets is that each cpusets cpus and mems are subsets of
its parents. The cpuset hot unplug code violated this rule.
So the cpuset hotunplug handler must walk down the tree, removing any
removed CPU or Node from all cpusets.
However, it is not allowed to make a cpusets cpus or mems become empty.
They can only transition from empty to non-empty, not back.
So if the last CPU or Node would be removed from a cpuset by the above
walk, we scan back up the cpuset hierarchy, finding the nearest ancestor
that still has something online, and copy its CPU or Memory placement.

Change the list of memory nodes allowed to tasks in the top (root) nodeset
to dynamically track what cpus are online, using a call to a cpuset hook
from the memory hotplug code. Make this top cpus file read-only.
On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't
actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of
systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.
If that system does support memory hotplug, then these tasks cannot make
use of memory nodes that are added after system boot, because the memory
nodes are not allowed in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression
over earlier kernels that didn't have cpusets enabled.
One key motivation for this change is to remain consistent with the
behaviour for the top_cpuset's 'cpus', which is also read-only, and which
automatically tracks the cpu_online_map.
This change also has the minor benefit that it fixes a long standing,
little noticed, minor bug in cpusets. The cpuset performance tweak to
short circuit the cpuset_zone_allowed() check on systems with just a single
cpuset (see 'number_of_cpusets', in linux/cpuset.h) meant that simply
changing the 'mems' of the top_cpuset had no affect, even though the change
(the write system call) appeared to succeed. With the following change,
that write to the 'mems' file fails -EACCES, and the 'mems' file stubbornly
refuses to be changed via user space writes. Thus no one should be mislead
into thinking they've changed the top_cpusets's 'mems' when in affect they
haven't.
In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems
actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes
the behaviour of the 'mems' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read
only, and making it automatically track the value of node_online_map. Thus
tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged memory nodes
allowed by their cpuset.

A previous patch to allow an exiting task to OOM kill itself (and thereby
avoid a little deadlock) introduced a problem. We don't want the
PF_EXITING task, even if it is 'current', to access mem reserves if there
is already a TIF_MEMDIE process in the system sucking up reserves.
Also make the commenting a little bit clearer, and note that our current
scheme of effectively single threading the OOM killer is not itself
perfect.

The only one usage of TASK_DEAD outside of last schedule path,
select_bad_process:
for_each_task(p) {
if (!p->mm)
continue;
...
if (p->state == TASK_DEAD)
continue;
...
TASK_DEAD state is set at the end of do_exit(), this means that p->mm
was already set == NULL by exit_mm(), so this task was already rejected
by 'if (!p->mm)' above.
Note also that the caller holds tasklist_lock, this means that p can't
pass exit_notify() and then set TASK_DEAD when p->mm != NULL.

I am not sure about this patch, I am asking Ingo to take a decision.
task_struct->state == EXIT_DEAD is a very special case, to avoid a confusion
it makes sense to introduce a new state, TASK_DEAD, while EXIT_DEAD should
live only in ->exit_state as documented in sched.h.
Note that this state is not visible to user-space, get_task_state() masks off
unsuitable states.

schedule() checks PF_DEAD on every context switch and sets ->state = EXIT_DEAD
to ensure that the exiting task will be deactivated. Note that this EXIT_DEAD
is in fact a "random" value, we can use any bit except normal TASK_XXX values.
It is better to set this state in do_exit() along with PF_DEAD flag and remove
that check in schedule().
We are safe wrt concurrent try_to_wake_up() (for example ptrace, tkill), it
can not change task's ->state: the 'state' argument of try_to_wake_up() can't
have EXIT_DEAD bit. And in case when try_to_wake_up() sees a stale value of
->state == TASK_RUNNING it will do nothing.

Introduce the disable_irq_nosync_lockdep_irqsave() and
enable_irq_lockdep_irqrestore() APIs. These are needed for NE2000; basically
NE2000 calls disable_irq and enable_irq as locking against the IRQ handler,
but both in cases where interrupts are on and off. This means that lockdep
needs to track the old state of the virtual irq flags on disable_irq, and
restore these at enable_irq time.

not types
The lock annotations used on spinlocks and rwlocks currently use
__{acquires,releases}(spinlock_t) and __{acquires,releases}(rwlock_t),
respectively. This loses the information of which lock actually got
acquired or released, and assumes a different type for the parameter of
__acquires and __releases than the rest of the kernel. While the current
implementations of __acquires and __releases throw away their argument,
this will not always remain the case. Change this to use the lock
parameter instead, to preserve this information and increase consistency in
usage of __acquires and __releases.

If your driver implements "break on" and "break off" this ensures you won't
get multiple overlapping requests or requests in parallel. If your driver
has its own break handling then its still your problem as the driver
