rtc: mc13xxx: change RTC validation scheme
Datasheet says: "When the VSRTC voltage drops to the range of 0.9 - 0.8V,
the RTCPORB reset signal is generated and the contents of the RTC will
be reset. <skip>. To inform the processor that the contents of the RTC
are no longer valid due to the reset, a timer reset interrupt function
is implemented with the RTCRSTI bit." This patch makes the RTC valid by
default until RTCRST interrupt occurs.

A commit hook for the Gerrit code review server [1] inserts change
identifiers so Gerrit can track patches through multiple revisions.
These identifiers are noise in the context of the upstream kernel.
(Many Gerrit servers are private. Even given a public instance, given
only a Change-Id, one must guess which server a change was tracked on.
Patches submitted to the Linux kernel mailing lists should be able to
stand on their own. If it's truly useful to reference code review on a
Gerrit server, a URL is a much clearer way to do so.) Thus, issue an
error when a Change-Id line is encountered before the Signed-off-by.

checkpatch: make "return is not a function" test quieter
This test is a bit noisy and opinions seem to agree that it should not
warn in a lot more situations.
It seems people agree that:
return (foo || bar);
and
return foo || bar;
are both acceptable style and checkpatch should be silent about them.
For now, it warns on parentheses around a simple constant or a single
function or a ternary.
return (foo);
return (foo(bar));
return (foo ? bar : baz);
The last ternary test may be quieted in the future.
Modify the deparenthesize function to only strip balanced leading and
trailing parentheses.

device may be shared by multiple framebuffers. The backlight driver
should take the backlight device as a resource shared by all the

This patch adds some logic to record each framebuffer's backlight usage
to determine the backlight device use count and whether the two
properties should be updated or not. To be more specific, only one
unblank operation on a certain blanked framebuffer may increase the
backlight device's use count by one, while one blank operation on a
certain unblanked framebuffer may decrease the use count by one, because
the userspace is likely to unblank an unblanked framebuffer or blank a
blanked framebuffer.

*** DEADLOCK ***
There are three locks involved in two sequence:
a) pm suspend:
console_lock (@suspend_console())
cpu_add_remove_lock (@disable_nonboot_cpus())
cpu_hotplug.lock (@_cpu_down())
b) Plug-out CPUx:
cpu_add_remove_lock (@(cpu_down())
cpu_hotplug.lock (@_cpu_down())
console_lock (@console_cpu_notify()) => Lockdeps prints warning log.
There should be not real deadlock, as flag of console_suspended can
protect this.
Although console_suspend() releases console_sem, it doesn't tell lockdep
about it. That results in the lockdep warning about circular locking
when doing the following: enter suspend -> resume -> plug-out CPUx (echo
0 > cpux/online)
Fix the problem by telling lockdep we actually released the semaphore in
console_suspend() and acquired it again in console_resume().

First problem is in the check for free space. The exact number of free
bytes is enough to store the length of data.
Second problem is in the check where the ring buffer is rotated. The

kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core code
Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig
(built-in or absent) can never be modular. So using module_init as an
alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading.
Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h
to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing.
The audit targets the following module_init users for change:
kernel/user.c obj-y
kernel/kexec.c bool KEXEC (one instance per arch)
kernel/profile.c bool PROFILING
kernel/hung_task.c bool DETECT_HUNG_TASK
kernel/sched/stats.c bool SCHEDSTATS
kernel/user_namespace.c bool USER_NS
Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the
priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these
files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level
4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that
difference has been observed during testing.
Also, two instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed in kexec.

slub: do not drop slab_mutex for sysfs_slab_add
We release the slab_mutex while calling sysfs_slab_add from
__kmem_cache_create since commit
66c4c35c6bc5 ("slub: Do not hold
slub_lock when calling sysfs_slab_add()"), because kobject_uevent called
by sysfs_slab_add might block waiting for the usermode helper to exec,
which would result in a deadlock if we took the slab_mutex while
executing it.
However, apart from complicating synchronization rules, releasing the
slab_mutex on kmem cache creation can result in a kmemcg-related race.
The point is that we check if the memcg cache exists before going to
__kmem_cache_create, but register the new cache in memcg subsys after
it. Since we can drop the mutex there, several threads can see that the
memcg cache does not exist and proceed to creating it, which is wrong.
Fortunately, recently kobject_uevent was patched to call the usermode
helper with the UMH_NO_WAIT flag, making the deadlock impossible.
Therefore there is no point in releasing the slab_mutex while calling
sysfs_slab_add, so let's simplify kmem_cache_create synchronization and
fix the kmemcg-race mentioned above by holding the slab_mutex during the
whole cache creation path.

kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent
Currently kobject_uevent has somewhat unpredictable semantics. The
point is, since it may call a usermode helper and wait for it to execute
(UMH_WAIT_EXEC), it is impossible to say for sure what lock dependencies
it will introduce for the caller - strictly speaking it depends on what
fs the binary is located on and the set of locks fork may take. There
are quite a few kobject_uevent's users that do not take this into
account and call it with various mutexes taken, e.g. rtnl_mutex,
net_mutex, which might potentially lead to a deadlock.
Since there is actually no reason to wait for the usermode helper to
execute there, let's make kobject_uevent start the helper asynchronously
with the aid of the UMH_NO_WAIT flag.
Personally, I'm interested in this, because I really want kobject_uevent
to be called under the slab_mutex in the slub implementation as it used
to be some time ago, because it greatly simplifies synchronization and
automatically fixes a kmemcg-related race. However, there was a
deadlock detected on an attempt to call kobject_uevent under the
slab_mutex (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/14/45), which was reported
to be fixed by releasing the slab_mutex for kobject_uevent.
Unfortunately, there was no information about who exactly blocked on the
slab_mutex causing the usermode helper to stall, neither have I managed
to find this out or reproduce the issue.
BTW, this is not the first attempt to make kobject_uevent use
UMH_NO_WAIT. Previous one was made by commit
f520360d93cd ("kobject:
don't block for each kobject_uevent"), but it was wrong (it passed
arguments allocated on stack to async thread) so it was reverted in
05f54c13cd0c ("Revert "kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent".").
It targeted on speeding up the boot process though.
