sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.
This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.
For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.

We need to move even more stuff into the header so that folks can use
the splice_to_pipe() implementation instead of open-coding a lot of
pipe knowledge (see relay implementation), so move to our own header
file finally.

Recently my console UTF-8 patch went mainline. Here is an additional patch
that fixes two nasty issues and improves a third one, namely:
1. My patch changed the behavior if a glyph is not found in the Unicode
mapping table. Previously for Unicode values less than 256 or 512 the
kernel tried to display the glyph from that position of the glyph table,
which could lead to a different accented letter being displayed. I
removed this fallback possibility and changed it to display the
replacement symbol.
As Behdad pointed out, some fonts (e.g. sun12x22 from the kbd package)
lack Unicode mapping information, hence all you get is lots of question
marks. Though theoretically it's actually a user-space bug (the font
should be fixed), Behdad and I both believe that it'd be good to work
around in the kernel by re-introducing the fallback solution for ASCII
characters only. This sounds a quite reasonable decision, since all fonts
ship the ASCII characters in the first 128 positions. This way users
won't be surprised by lots of question marks just because s/he issued a
not-so-perfectly parameterized setfont command. As this fallback is only
re-introduced for code points below 128, you still won't see an accented
letter replaced by another, but at least you'll always get the English
letters right.
2. My patch introduced "question mark with inverted color attributes" as a
last resort fallback glyph. Though it perfectly works on VGA console, on
framebuffer you may end up with question marks that are highlighed but
shouldn't be, and normal characters that are accidentally highlighed.
This is caused by missing FLUSHes when changing the color attribute.
3. I've updated the table of double-width character based on Markus's
updated version. Only ten new code poings (one interval) is added.

Folding is done to minimize the theoretical possibility of systematic
weakness in the particular bits of the SHA1 hash output. The result of
this bug is that 16 out of 80 bits are un-folded. Without a major new
vulnerability being found in SHA1, this is harmless, but still worth
fixing.

Restore tty locked ioctl handler which was replaced with
an unlocked ioctl handler in hung_up_tty_fops by the patch:
commit e10cc1df1d
Author: Paul Fulghum <paulkf@microgate.com>
Date: Thu May 10 22:22:50 2007 -0700
tty: add compat_ioctl
This was reported in:
[Bug 8473] New: Oops: 0010 [1] SMP
The bug is caused by switching to hung_up_tty_fops in do_tty_hangup. An
ioctl call can be waiting on BLK after testing for existence of the locked
ioctl handler in the normal tty fops, but before calling the locked ioctl
handler. If a hangup occurs at that point, the locked ioctl fop is NULL
and an oops occurs.
(akpm: we can remove my debugging code from do_ioctl() now, but it'll be OK to
do that for 2.6.23)

Commit 9b01bd5b28 introduced a
compat_ioctl handler for RADEON_SETPARAM, the sole purpose of which was
to handle the fact that on i386, alignof(uint64_t)==4.
Unfortunately, this handler was installed for _all_ 64-bit
architectures, instead of only x86_64 and ia64. And thus it breaks
32-bit compatibility on every other arch, where 64-bit integers are
aligned to 8 bytes in 32-bit mode just the same as in 64-bit mode.
Arnd has a cunning plan to use 'compat_u64' with appropriate alignment
attributes according to the 32-bit ABI, but for now let's just make the
compat_radeon_cp_setparam routine entirely disappear on 64-bit machines
whose 32-bit compat support isn't for i386. It would be a no-op with
compat_u64 anyway.

This patch trys to fix device probe in two cases. First we should
correctly detect device if integrated graphics device is not enabled
or exists, like an add-in card is plugged. Second on some type of intel
GMCH, it might have multiple graphic chip models, like 945GME case, so
we should be sure the detect works through the whole table.

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly
Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).
