Tejun Heo 43829731dd workqueue: deprecate flush[_delayed]_work_sync()
flush[_delayed]_work_sync() are now spurious.  Mark them deprecated
and convert all users to flush[_delayed]_work().

If you're cc'd and wondering what's going on: Now all workqueues are
non-reentrant and the regular flushes guarantee that the work item is
not pending or running on any CPU on return, so there's no reason to
use the sync flushes at all and they're going away.

This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

Colin Ian King 15920d8afc wireless: hostap, fix oops due to early probing interrupt
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/254837

Spurious shared interrupts or early probing interrupts can cause the
hostap interrupt handler to oops before the driver has fully configured
the IO base port addresses. In some cases the oops can be because
the hardware shares an interrupt line, on other cases it is due to a
race condition between probing for the hardware and configuring
the IO base port. The latter occurs because the probing is required to
determin the hardware port address which is only determined when the probe
can interrupt the hardware (catch 22).

This patch catches this pre-configured condition to avoid the oops.

David S. Miller e8a0464cc9 netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX.
alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue
structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument.

Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored
through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue()
interfaces.  This makes it easy to grep the tree for all
things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device.

Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and
only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping
for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

Daniel Drake 09703f5e79 [HOSTAP]: set netdev type before registering AP interface
As detailed at https://bugs.gentoo.org/159646 hostap with hostapd confuses
udev by presenting 2 interfaces with the same MAC address. Also, at the time
of detection, the 'type' attribute is 1, identical to other hostap interfaces.

The AP interface is supposed to have type ARPHRD_IEEE80211 (801), but this is
not set until after registration.

Setting it before register_netdev() is called allows us to avoid this
confusion. We can do this by propogating the HOSTAP_INTERFACE type through
to hostap_setup_dev().

David Howells 7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

ok this appears to be hostap playing games... it has 2 network devices
for one piece of hardware and one calls the other via the networking
layer; there is thankfully a natural ordering between the two, so just
making the slave one a separate type ought to make this work.
