kset: add kset_create_and_add function
Now ksets can be dynamically created on the fly, no static definitions
are required. Thanks to Miklos for hints on how to make this work
better for the callers.
And thanks to Kay for finding some stupid bugs in my original version
and pointing out that we need to handle the fact that kobject's can have
a kset as a parent and to handle that properly in kobject_add().

kobject: remove struct kobj_type from struct kset
We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset. We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset. This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.
This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

PM: Acquire device locks on suspend
This patch reorganizes the way suspend and resume notifications are

every device semaphore before calling the methods, and calls to
device_add() during suspends will fail, while calls to device_del()
during suspends will block.
It also provides a way to safely remove a suspended device with the
help of the PM core, by using the device_pm_schedule_removal() callback
introduced specifically for this purpose, and updates two drivers (msr
and cpuid) that need to use it.

fix hugepages leak due to pagetable page sharing
The shared page table code for hugetlb memory on x86 and x86_64
is causing a leak. When a user of hugepages exits using this code
the system leaks some of the hugepages.
-------------------------------------------------------
Part of /proc/meminfo just before database startup:
HugePages_Total: 5500
HugePages_Free: 5500
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
Just before shutdown:
HugePages_Total: 5500
HugePages_Free: 4475
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
After shutdown:
HugePages_Total: 5500
HugePages_Free: 4988
HugePages_Rsvd:
0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
----------------------------------------------------------
The problem occurs durring a fork, in copy_hugetlb_page_range(). It
locates the dst_pte using huge_pte_alloc(). Since huge_pte_alloc() calls
huge_pmd_share() it will share the pmd page if can, yet the main loop in
copy_hugetlb_page_range() does a get_page() on every hugepage. This is a
violation of the shared hugepmd pagetable protocol and creates additional
referenced to the hugepages causing a leak when the unmap of the VMA
occurs. We can skip the entire replication of the ptes when the hugepage
pagetables are shared. The attached patch skips copying the ptes and the
get_page() calls if the hugetlbpage pagetable is shared.

lockdep: fix kernel crash on module unload
Michael Wu noticed in his lkml post at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=
119396182726091&w=2
that certain wireless drivers ended up having their name in module
memory, which would then crash the kernel on module unload.
The patch he proposed was a bit clumsy in that it increased the size of
a lockdep entry significantly; the patch below tries another approach,
it checks, on module teardown, if the name of a class is in module space
and then zaps the class. This is very similar to what we already do
with keys that are in module space.

W1: w1_therm.c is flagging 0C etc as invalid
The extra rom[0] check is flagging valid temperatures as invalid when
there is already a CRC data transmission check.
w1_therm_read_bin()
if (rom[8] == crc && rom[0])
verdict = 1;
Requiring rom[0] to be non-zero will flag as invalid temperature
conversions when the low byte is zero, specifically the temperatures 0C,
16C, 32C, 48C, -16C, -32C, and -48C.
The CRC check is produced on the device for the previous 8 bytes and is
required to ensure the data integrity in transmission. I don't see why the
extra check for rom[0] being non-zero is in there. Evgeniy Polyakov didn't
know either. Just for a check I unplugged the sensor, executed a
temperature conversion, and read the results. The read was all ff's, which
also failed the CRC, so it doesn't need to protect against a disconnected
sensor.
I have more extensive patches in the work, but these two trivial ones will
do for today. I would like to hear from people who use the ds2490 USB to
one wire dongle. 1 if you would be willing to test the patches as I
currently only have the one sensor on a short parisite powered wire, 2 if
there is any cheap sources for the ds2490.

W1: w1_therm.c ds18b20 decode freezing temperatures correctly
Correct the decoding of negative C temperatures. The code did a binary OR
of two bytes to make a 16 bit value, but assignd it to an integer. This
caused the value to not be sign extended and to loose that it was a
negative number in the assignment.
Before the patch (in my freezer),
w1_slave
ed fe 4b 46 7f ff 03 10 e4 : crc=e4 YES

hwmon: (it87) request only Environment Controller ports
The IT8705F and related parts are Super I/O controllers that contain
many separate devices.
Some BIOSes describe IT8705F I/O port usage under a motherboard device
(PNP0C02) with overlapping regions, e.g., 0x290-0x29f and 0x290-0x294.
The it87 driver supports only the Environment Controller, which requires
only two ISA ports, but it used to request an eight-port range. If that
range exceeds a range reported by the BIOS, as 0x290-0x297 would, the
request fails, and the it87 driver cannot claim the device.
This patch makes the it87 driver request only the two ports used for the
Environment Controller device.

The patch above increases the number of PNP port resources we support.
Prior to this patch, we ignored some port resources, which masked the
it87 problem.

sched: group scheduler, set uid share fix
setting cpu share to 1 causes hangs, as reported in:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9779
as the default share is 1024, the values of 0 and 1 can indeed
cause problems. Limit it to 2 or higher values.
These values can only be set by the root user - but still it
makes sense to protect against nonsensical values.

Revert "x86: fix NMI watchdog & 'stopped time' problem"
This reverts commit
d4d25deca49ec2527a634557bf5a6cf449f85deb.
It tried to fix long standing bugzilla entries, but the solution was
reported to break other systems. The reporter of
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9791
tracked it down to this commit and confirmed that reverting the patch
restores the correct behaviour. It's too late in the release cycle to
find a better solution than reverting the commit to avoid regressions.
