KVM ended up having to put a pretty ugly wrapper around set_64bit()
in order to get the type right. Now set_64bit() takes the expected
u64 type, and this wrapper can be cleaned up.

Commit 69309a059075 ("x86, asm: Clean up and simplify set_64bit()")
sanitized the x86-64 types to set_64bit(), and incidentally resulted in
warnings like
drivers/pci/intr_remapping.c: In function 'modify_irte':
drivers/pci/intr_remapping.c:314: warning: passing argument 1 of 'set_64bit' from incompatible pointer type
arch/x86/include/asm/cmpxchg_64.h:6: note:expected 'volatile u64 *' but argument is of type 'long unsigned int *'
It turns out that the change to set_64bit() really does clean up things,
and the PCI intr_remapping.c file did a rather ugly cast in order to
avoid warnings with the previous set_64bit() type model.
Removing the ugly cast fixes the warning, and makes everybody happy and
expects a set_64bit() to take the logical "u64 *" argument.

This seems to make "make oldconfig" a _lot_ more verbose than it

I just did a quick git bisect. It's introduced by commit 4062f1a4c030
("kconfig: use long options in conf") by Sam Ravnborg. Apparently that
thing is totally buggy, and doesn't just change the option names, but
actively breaks them.
The old behaviour (from years ago) were reintroduced by accident. Fix
this so we are back to the version that are silent if there is nothing
to ask about.

Make /dev/console get initialised before any initialisation routine that
invokes modprobe because if modprobe fails, it's going to want to open
/dev/console, presumably to write an error message to.
The problem with that is that if the /dev/console driver is not yet
initialised, the chardev handler will call request_module() to invoke
modprobe, which will fail, because we never compile /dev/console as a
module.
This will lead to a modprobe loop, showing the following in the kernel
log:
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
This can happen, for example, when the built in md5 module can't find
the built in cryptomgr module (because the latter fails to initialise).
The md5 module comes before the call to tty_init(), presumably because
'crypto' comes before 'drivers' alphabetically.
Fix this by calling tty_init() from chrdev_init().

request_key() should return -ENOKEY if the key it constructs has been

Without this, request_key() can return an unusable key to its caller,

We really shouldn't be asking userspace to create new root filesystems.
So follow along with all of the other in-kernel filesystems, and provide
a mount point in sysfs.
For cgroupfs, this should be in /sys/fs/cgroup/ This change provides
that mount point when the cgroup filesystem is registered in the kernel.

Add BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER as a bus notifier event.
For driver binding/unbinding we with this in
place have the following bus notifier events:
- BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER - before ->probe()
- BUS_NOTIFY_BOUND_DRIVER - after ->probe()
- BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER - before ->remove()
- BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER - after ->remove()
The event BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER allows bus code
to be notified that ->probe() is about to be called.
Useful for bus code that needs to setup hardware before
the driver gets to run. With this in place platform
drivers can be loaded and unloaded as modules and the
new BIND event allows bus code to control for instance
device clocks that must be enabled before the driver
can be executed.
Without this patch there is no way for the bus code to
get notified that a modular driver is about to be probed.

debugfs no longer uses 'kernel_subsys' (which is gone), and other
kernel/ksysfs.c code is always built, so DEBUG_FS does not need
to depend on SYSFS.

There is little rationale for marking bus_for_each_drv() __must_check.
It is more of an iteration helper than a real function. You don't know
in advance which callback it will be used on, so you have no clue how
important it can be to check the returned value. In practice, this
helper function can be used for best-effort tasks.
As a matter of fact, bus_for_each_dev() is not marked __must_check.
So remove it from bus_for_each_drv() as well. This is the same that
was done back in October 2006 by Russell King for
device_for_each_child(), for exactly the same reasons.

The kernel/hotplug sysctl variable (/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug file) was
made conditional on CONFIG_NET by commit
f743ca5e10f4145e0b3e6d11b9b46171e16af7ce (applied in 2.6.18) to fix
problems with undefined references in 2.6.16 when CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y &&
!CONFIG_NET, but this restriction is no longer needed.
This patch makes the kernel/hotplug sysctl variable depend only on

However, docbook will generate "re01.html" anew for each book for the

An effective workaround is to use IDs for the filenames, which makes
