This patch removes 100ms polling for driver_probe_done in
wait_for_device_probe(), and uses wait_event() instead.
Removing polling in fs initialization may lead to
a faster boot.
This patch also changes the return type of wait_for_device_done()
from int to void.
This patch is against Arjan's patch in linux-next tree.

The sysfs_dirent serves as both an inode and a directory entry
for sysfs. To prevent the sysfs inode numbers from being freed
prematurely hold a reference to sysfs_dirent from the sysfs inode.

sysfs: sysfs_add_one WARNs with full path to duplicate filename
As a debugging aid, it can be useful to know the full path to a
duplicate file being created in sysfs.
We now will display warnings such as:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/foo'
when attempting to create multiple files named 'foo' in the sysfs
root, or:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/bus/pci/slots/5/foo'
when attempting to create multiple files named 'foo' under a
given directory in sysfs.
The path displayed is always a relative path to sysfs_root. The
leading '/' in the path name refers to the sysfs_root mount
point, and should not be confused with the "real" '/'.
Thanks to Alex Williamson for essentially writing sysfs_pathname.

If the bus_type is not registerd, driver_register to that bus will cause oops.
I found this bug when test built-in usb serial drivers (ie. aircable driver)
with 'nousb' cmdline params.
In this patch:
1. set the bus->p=NULL when bus_register failed and unregisterd.
2. if bus->p is NULL, driver_register BUG_ON will be triggered.

This patch fixes the bug reported in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11681.
"Lots of device drivers register a 'struct device_driver' with
the '.bus' member set to '&platform_bus_type'. This is wrong,
since the platform_bus functions expect the 'struct device_driver'
to be wrapped up in a 'struct platform_driver' which provides
some additional callbacks (like suspend_late, resume_early).
The effect may be that platform_suspend_late() uses bogus data
outside the device_driver struct as a pointer pointer to the
device driver's suspend_late() function or other hard to
reproduce failures."(Lothar Wassmann)

If a UIO memory region does not start on a page boundary but straddles one,
the number of actual pages that overlap the memory region may be calculated
incorrectly because the offset isn't taken into account. If userspace sets
the mmap length to offset+size, it may fail with -EINVAL if UIO thinks it's
trying to allocate too many pages.

UIO driver for the Adrienne Electronics Corporation PCI time code
device.
This device differs from other UIO devices since it uses I/O ports instead of
memory mapped I/O. In order to make it possible for UIO to work with this
device a utility, uioport, can be used to read and write the ports.
uioport is designed to be a setuid program and checks the permissions of
the /dev/uio* node and if the user has write permissions it will use
iopl and out*/in* to access the device.

If a UIO device has several memory mappings, it can be difficult for userspace
to find the right one. The situation becomes even worse if the UIO driver can
handle different versions of a card that have different numbers of mappings.
Benedikt Spranger has such cards and pointed this out to me. Thanks, Bene!
To address this problem, this patch adds "name" sysfs attributes for each
mapping. Userspace can use these to clearly identify each mapping. The name
string is optional. If a driver doesn't set it, an empty string will be
returned, so this patch won't break existing drivers.
The same problem exists for port region information, so a "name" attribute is
added there, too.

Now platform_device is being widely used on SoC processors where the
peripherals are attached to the system bus, which is simple enough.
However, silicon IPs for these SoCs are usually shared heavily across
a family of processors, even products from different companies. This
makes the original simple driver name based matching insufficient, or
simply not straight-forward.
Introduce a module id table for platform devices, and makes it clear
that a platform driver is able to support some shared IP and handle
slight differences across different platforms (by 'driver_data').
Module alias is handled automatically when a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()
is defined.
To not disturb the current platform drivers too much, the matched id
entry is recorded and can be retrieved by platform_get_device_id().

This patch moves bus->match out from driver_probe_device and
does not hold device lock to check the match between a device
and a driver.
The idea has been verified by the commit 6cd4958609,
which leads to a faster boot. But the commit 6cd4958609 has
the following drawbacks: 1),only does the quick check in
the path of __driver_attach->driver_probe_device, not in other
paths; 2),for a matched device and driver, check the same match
twice. It is a waste of cpu ,especially for some drivers with long
device id table (eg. usb-storage driver).
This patch adds a helper of driver_match_device to check the match
in all paths, and testes the match only once.

sysfs_get_inode ultimately calls sysfs_count_nlink when the a
directory inode is fectched. sysfs_count_nlink needs to be
called under the sysfs_mutex to guard against the unlikely
but possible scenario that the root directory is changing
as we are counting the number entries in it, and just in
general to be consistent.

With a sufficiently new compiler and binutils, code which wasn't
previously generating .eh_frame sections has begun to. Certain
architectures (powerpc, in this case) may generate unexpected relocation
formats in response to this, preventing modules from loading.
While the new relocation types should probably be handled, revert to the
previous behaviour with regards to generation of .eh_frame sections.

doing any building against gcc-4.4 at present: RH bz#486545.)
