Setting fops and private data outside of the mutex at debugfs file
creation introduces a race where the files can be opened with the wrong
file operations and private data. It is easy to trigger with a process
waiting on file creation notification.

device_shutdown is defined to just shutdown the hardware and to not
clean up any kernel data structures. Therefore don't put the kobjects
for /sys/dev and /sys/dev/block and /sys/dev/char.
This ensures we don't remove /sys/dev/block and /sys/dev/char while
we still have symlinks from there to the actual devices.

Unfortunately, one cannot hold on to the struct firmware
that request_firmware_nowait() hands off, which is needed
in some cases. Allow this by requiring the callback to
free it (via release_firmware).
Additionally, give it a gfp_t parameter -- all the current
users call it from a GFP_KERNEL context so the GFP_ATOMIC
isn't necessary. This also marks an API break which is
useful in a sense, although that is obviously not the
primary purpose of this change.

This patch fixes 2 edge cases in using kgdb in conjunction with gdb.
1) kgdb_deactivate_sw_breakpoints() should process the entire array of
breakpoints. The failure to do so results in breakpoints that you
cannot remove, because a break point can only be removed if its
state flag is set to BP_SET.
The easy way to duplicate this problem is to plant a break point in
a kernel module and then unload the kernel module.
2) kgdb_activate_sw_breakpoints() should process the entire array of
breakpoints. The failure to do so results in missed breakpoints
when a breakpoint cannot be activated.

On some architectures for the segv trap, gdb wants to pass the signal
back on continue. For kgdb this is not the default behavior, because
it can cause the kernel to crash if you arbitrarily pass back a
exception outside of kgdb.
Instead of causing instability, pass a message back to gdb about the
supported kgdb signal passing and execute a standard kgdb continue
operation.

On an SMP system the kgdb_single_step flag has the possibility to
indefinitely hang the system in the case. Consider the case where,
CPU 1 has the schedule lock and CPU 0 is set to single step, there is
no way for CPU 0 to run another task.
The easy way to observe the problem is to make 2 cpus busy, and run
the kgdb test suite. You will see that it hangs the system very
quickly.
while [ 1 ] ; do find /proc > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done &
while [ 1 ] ; do find /proc > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done &
echo V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts
The side effect of this patch is that there is the possibility
to miss a breakpoint in the case that a single step operation
was executed to step over a breakpoint in common code.
The trade off of the missed breakpoint is preferred to
hanging the kernel. This can be fixed in the future by
using kprobes or another strategy to step over planted
breakpoints with out of line execution.

The kgdb core should not assume that a single step operation of a
kernel thread will complete on the same CPU. The single step flag is
set at the "thread" level and it is possible in a multi cpu system
that a kernel thread can get scheduled on another cpu the next time it
is run.
As a further safety net in case a slave cpu is hung, the debug master
cpu will try 100 times before giving up and assuming control of the
slave cpus is no longer possible. It is more useful to be able to get
some information out of kgdb instead of spinning forever.

It is possible for the user_mode_vm(regs) check to return true on the
i368 arch for a non master kgdb cpu or when the master kgdb cpu
handles the NMI watch dog exception.
The solution is simply to select the correct gdb_ss location
based on the check to user_mode_vm(regs).

Some versions of gcc replace calls to strstr() with single-character
"needle" string parameters by calls to strchr() behind our back.
This causes linking errors if strchr() is defined as an inline function
in <asm/string.h> (e.g. on m68k, which BTW doesn't have kgdb support).
Prevent this by explicitly calling strchr() instead.

The comment in there used to be true, but these days do_brk() does
the arch-specific check that covers what we open-coded here. So we
can use sys_brk() just fine, only need to do force_successful_syscall_return()
after it.
See commit 3a45975681 - that's when the
checks in do_brk() had been originally added.

We've had TASK_SIZE set to 1<<31 for 31bit tasks since May 2004.
Before that old32_mmap() had to deal with do_mmap_pgoff() giving
it an address out of range. It had tried to do that by checking
return value and doing do_munmap() (at wrong address, BTW).
IOW, that code had been dead for 5.5 years (and bogus - for 8).

This adds a drm/kms staging non-API stable driver for GPUs from NVIDIA.
This driver is a KMS-based driver and requires a compatible nouveau
userspace libdrm and nouveau X.org driver.
This driver requires firmware files not available in this kernel tree,
interested parties can find them via the nouveau project git archive.
This driver is reverse engineered, and is in no way supported by nVidia.
Support for nearly the complete range of nvidia hw from nv04->g80 (nv50)
is available, and the kms driver should support driving nearly all
output types (displayport is under development still) along with supporting
suspend/resume.
This work is all from the upstream nouveau project found at
nouveau.freedesktop.org.

allow to give more complex placement at buffer creation. For
instance you ask to allocate bo into vram first but if there is
not enough vram you can give system as a second possible
placement. It also allow to create buffer in a specific range.
