ap->cbl == ATA_CBL_SATA indicates SATA cable while ap->flags &
ATA_FLAG_SATA indicates SATA host port. Till now they always gave the
same result but SATA/PATA bridge handling will change that. Switch to
ATA_FLAG_SATA test if we're testing for host port type.

Implement _GTM/_STM support. acpi_gtm is added to ata_port which
stores _GTM parameters over suspend/resume cycle. A new hook
ata_acpi_on_suspend() is responsible for storing _GTM parameters
during suspend. _STM is executed in ata_acpi_on_resume(). With this
change, invoking _GTF is safe on IDE hierarchy and acpi_sata check
before _GTF is removed.
ata_acpi_gtm() and ata_acpi_stm() implementation is taken from Alan
Cox's pata_acpi implementation. ata_acpi_gtm() is fixed such that the
result parameter is not shifted by sizeof(union acpi_object).

Remove remaining unnecessary feature and status checks.

Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

This patch reimplements ACPI invocation such that, instead of
exporting ACPI details to the rest of libata, ACPI event handlers -
ata_acpi_on_resume() and ata_acpi_on_devcfg() - are used. These two
functions are responsible for determining whether specific ACPI method
is used and when.
On resume, _GTF is scheduled by setting ATA_DFLAG_ACPI_PENDING device
flag. This is done this way to avoid performing the action on wrong
device device (device swapping while suspended).
On every ata_dev_configure(), ata_acpi_on_devcfg() is called, which
performs _SDD and _GTF. _GTF is performed only after resuming and, if
SATA, hardreset as the ACPI spec specifies. As _GTF may contain
arbitrary commands, IDENTIFY page is re-read after _GTF taskfiles are
executed.
If one of ACPI methods fails, ata_acpi_on_devcfg() retries on the
first failure. If it fails again on the second try, ACPI is disabled
on the device. Note that successful configuration clears ACPI failed
status.
With all feature checks moved to the above two functions,
do_drive_set_taskfiles() is trivial and thus collapsed into
ata_acpi_exec_tfs(), which is now static and converted to return the
number of executed taskfiles to be used by ata_acpi_on_resume(). As
failures are handled properly, ata_acpi_push_id() now returns -errno
on errors instead of unconditional zero.

This patch cleans up ata_acpi_exec_tfs() and its friends.
* Rename taskfile_array to ata_acpi_gtf and make it __packed as it's
used as argument to ACPI method, and use pointer to ata_acpi_gtf and
number of taskfiles to represent _GTF taskfiles instead of a pointer
casted into unsigned long and byte count. This makes argument
re-checking in do_drive_set_taskfiles() unnecessary.
* Pointer in void * not in unsigned long.
* Clean up do_drive_get_GTF() error handling and make
do_drive_get_GTF() return number of taskfiles on success, 0 if _GTF
doesn't exist or doesn't contain valid ata. -errno on other errors.
* Remove superflous check for acpi->buffer.pointer.
* Update taskfile_load_raw() such that printed messages look similar
to the messages printed by ata_eh_report().

* Add acpi_handle to ata_host and ata_port. Rename
ata_device->obj_handle to ->acpi_handle and move it above such that
it doesn't get cleared on reconfiguration.
* Replace ACPI node association which ata_acpi_associate() which is
called once during host initialization. Unlike the previous
implementation, ata_acpi_associate() uses ATA_FLAG_ACPI_SATA to
choose between IDE or SATA ACPI hierarchy and uses simple child look
up instead of recursive walk to match the nodes. This is way safer
and simpler. Please read the following message for more info.

Commit 1c710c896eb461895d3c399e15bb5f20b39c9073 added the utimensat()
system call, but didn't handle the case of checking for the writability
of the target right, when the target was a file descriptor, not a
filename.
We cannot use vfs_permission(MAY_WRITE) for that case, and need to
simply check whether the file descriptor is writable. The oops from
using the wrong function was noticed and narrowed down by Markus
Trippelsdorf.

The SiS966 has one additional PCI-ID 1180.
If the chipset is using this PCI-ID, the primary channel is connected to the
first PATA-port. The secondary channel is connected to SATA-ports in IDE
emulation mode. The legacy IO-ports are used.
The including of the PCI-ID into pata_sis is not sufficient, because the legacy
driver in drivers/ide is initialized before pata_sis.

When cleaning up HIDP sessions, we currently close the ACL connection
before deregistering the input device. Closing the ACL connection
schedules a workqueue to remove the associated objects from sysfs, but
the input device still refers to them -- and if the workqueue happens to
run before the input device removal, the kernel will oops when trying to
look up PHYSDEVPATH for the removed input device.
Fix this by deregistering the input device before closing the
connections.

In 7d12e780e003f93433d49ce78cfedf4b4c52adc5 David Howells performed
this evolution:
"IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers"
He correctly updated many of the function definitions that were using this
extra regs pointer parameter but forgot to update some caller sites of
those functions. The reason the modifications was not properly done on all
drivers is that some drivers were rarely compiled because they are for
AMIGA, or that some code sites were inside #ifdefs where the option is not
set or inside #if 0.
Here is the semantic patch that found the occurences
and fixed the problem.

When we enable the SMCf010 IR device, the Toshiba Portege 4000 BIOS claims
the device is working, but it really isn't configured correctly. The BIOS
*will* configure it, but only if we call _SRS after (1) reversing the order
of the SIR and FIR I/O port regions and (2) changing the IRQ from
active-high to active-low.
This patch addresses the 2.6.22 regression:
"no irda0 interface (2.6.21 was OK), smsc does not find chip"
I tested this on a Portege 4000. The smsc-ircc2 driver correctly detects
the device, and "irattach irda0 -s && irdadump" shows transmitted and
received packets.

Strangeness with the Ubuntu 'tell me if I support something that's not

Processors synchronization in set_mtrr requires the .gate field to be set
after .count field is properly initialized. Without an explicit barrier,
the compiler was reordering those memory stores. That was sometimes
causing a processor (in ipi_handler) to see the .gate change and decrement
.count before the latter is set by set_mtrr() (which then hangs in a
infinite loop with irqs disabled).

The commit 635cf99a80f4ebee59d70eb64bb85ce829e4591f introduced a
regression. Executing a ptrace single step after certain int80
accesses will infinitely loop and never advance the PC.
The TIF_SINGLESTEP check should be done on the return from the syscall
and not before it.
I loops on each single step on the pop right after the int80 which writes out
to the console. At that point you can issue as many single steps as you want
and it will not advance any further.
The test case is below:
/* Test whether singlestep through an int80 syscall works.

#include <fcntl.h>

elf_core_dump() supports dumping arch specific ELF notes, via the #define
ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES. Currently the only user of this is the powerpc
spu coredump code.
There is a bug in the handling of foffset WRT the arch notes, which causes
us to erroneously increment foffset by the size of the arch notes, leaving
a block of zeroes in the file, and causing all subsequent data in the file
to be at <supposed position> + <arch note size>. eg:
LOAD 0x050000 0x00100000 0x00000000 0x20000 0x20000 R E 0x10000
Tells us we should have a chunk of data at 0x50000. The truth is the data
is at 0x90dbc = 0x50000 + 0x40dbc (the size of the arch notes).
This bug prevents gdb from reading the core file correctly.
The simplest fix is to simply remember the size of the arch notes, and add
it to foffset after we've written the arch notes. The only drawback is
that if the arch code doesn't write as many bytes as it said it would, we
end up with a broken core dump again. For now I think that's a reasonable
requirement.
Tested on a Cell blade, gdb no longer complains about the core file being
bogus.
While I'm here I should point out that the spu coredump code does not work
if we're dumping to a pipe - we'll have to wait for 23 to fix that.

The idle loop goes to sleep using the WAIT instruction if !need_resched().
This has is suffering from from a race condition that if if just after
need_resched has returned 0 an interrupt might set TIF_NEED_RESCHED but
we've just completed the test so go to sleep anyway. This would be
trivial to fix by just disabling interrupts during that sequence as in:
local_irq_disable();
if (!need_resched())
__asm__("wait");
local_irq_enable();
but the processor architecture leaves it undefined if a processor calling
WAIT with interrupts disabled will ever restart its pipeline and indeed
some processors have made use of the freedom provided by the architecture
definition. This has been resolved and the Config7.WII bit indicates that
the use of WAIT is safe on 24K, 24KE and 34K cores. It also is safe on
74K starting revision 2.1.0 so enable the use of WAIT with interrupts
disabled for 74K based on a c0_prid of at least that.

Older processors used to encode processor version and revision in two
4-bit bitfields, the 4K seems to simply count up and even newer MTI cores
have switched to use the 8-bits as 3:3:2 bitfield with the last field as
the patch number.

The RM7000 processors and the E9000 cores have a bug (though PMC-Sierra
opposes it being called that) where invalid instructions in the same
I-cache line worth of instructions being fetched may case spurious
exceptions.
The workaround for this was only enabled for E9000 cores; enable it also
for all RM7000-based platforms.

This effectivly turned the SMTC_IDLE_HOOK_DEBUG debug option into a no-op.

Reported by Eugene Surovegin <ebs@ebshome.net>.
If only modules were users of these functions they did not get linked into
the kernel proper, so later module loads would fail as well.
