723493ca59 i8k: Fix temperature bug handling in i8k_get_temp()
Static array prev[] was incorrectly initialized. It should be initialized to
some "invalid" temperature value (above I8K_MAX_TEMP).

Next, function should store "invalid" value to prev[] (above I8K_MAX_TEMP),
not valid (= I8K_MAX_TEMP) because whole temperature bug handling will not
work.

And last part, to not break existing detection of temperature sensors, register
them also if i8k report too high temperature (above I8K_MAX_TEMP). This is
needed because some sensors are sometimes turned off (e.g sensor on GPU which
can be turned off/on) and in this case SMM report too high value.

To prevent reporting "invalid" values to userspace, return -EINVAL. In this case
sensors which are currently turned off (e.g optimus/powerexpress/enduro gpu)
are reported as "N/A" by lm-sensors package.

6d827fbcc3 i8k: Fix non-SMP operation
Commit f36fdb9f02 (i8k: Force SMM to run on CPU 0) adds support
for multi-core CPUs to the driver. Unfortunately, that causes it
to fail loading if compiled without SMP support, at least on
32 bit kernels. Kernel log shows "i8k: unable to get SMM Dell
signature", and function i8k_smm is found to return -EINVAL.

Testing revealed that the culprit is the missing return value check
of set_cpus_allowed_ptr.

26d093821f i8k: Use driver_data field of dmi_system_id to override fan multiplier

not with the default speed multiplier of 30. Information on the web

multiplier value for the two systems known to use a multiplier of 1.

22d3243de8 Fix gcc 4.5.1 miscompiling drivers/char/i8k.c (again)
The fix in commit 6b4e81db25 ("i8k: Tell gcc that *regs gets
clobbered") to work around the gcc miscompiling i8k.c to add "+m
(*regs)" caused register pressure problems and a build failure.

Changing the 'asm' statement to 'asm volatile' instead should prevent
that and works around the gcc bug as well, so we can remove the "+m".

[ Background on the gcc bug: a memory clobber fails to mark the function
  the asm resides in as non-pure (aka "__attribute__((const))"), so if
  the function does nothing else that triggers the non-pure logic, gcc
  will think that that function has no side effects at all. As a result,
  callers will be mis-compiled.

  Adding the "+m" made gcc see that it's not a pure function, and so
  does "asm volatile". The problem was never really the need to mark
  "*regs" as changed, since the memory clobber did that part - the
  problem was just a bug in the gcc "pure" function analysis  - Linus ]

compiler was upgraded from gcc-4.4.4 to gcc-4.5.1 after which it didn't

As it turned out the asm(..) statement forgot to mention it modifies the
*regs variable.

613655fa39 drivers: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex
All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial
way to serialize their private file operations,
typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic
pushdown from VFS.

None of these drivers appears to want to lock against
other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level
lock in their file operations, meaning that there
is no lock-order inversion problem.

Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely,
replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case.
Using a scripted approach means we can avoid
typos.

These drivers do not seem to be under active
maintainance from my brief investigation. Apologies
to those maintainers that I have missed.

1855256c49 drivers/firmware: const-ify DMI API and internals
Three main sets of changes:

1) dmi_get_system_info() return value should have been marked const,
   since callers should not be changing that data.

2) const-ify DMI internals, since DMI firmware tables should,
   whenever possible, be marked const to ensure we never ever write to
   that data area.

3) const-ify DMI API, to enable marking tables const where possible
   in low-level drivers.

And if we're really lucky, this might enable some additional
optimizations on the part of the compiler.

The bulk of the changes are #2 and #3, which are interrelated.  #1 could
have been a separate patch, but it was so small compared to the others,
it was easier to roll it into this changeset.

7e80d0d0b6 i386: sched.h inclusion from module.h is baack
linux/module.h
  -> linux/elf.h
     -> asm-i386/elf.h
        -> linux/utsname.h
           -> linux/sched.h

Noticeably cut the number of files which are rebuild upon touching sched.h
and cut down pulled junk from every module.h inclusion.

62322d2554 [PATCH] make more file_operation structs static
Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const.  Making
them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section
so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper
debug option they are then protected against corruption..

e70c9d5e61 [PATCH] I8K: use standard DMI interface
I8K: Change to use stock dmi infrastructure instead of homegrown
     parsing code. The driver now requires box's DMI data to match
     list of supported models so driver can be safely compiled-in
     by default without fear of it poking into random SMM BIOS
     code. DMI checks can be ignored with i8k.ignore_dmi option.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
