drivers/misc/cs5535-mfgpt.c: fix wrong if condition

2011-06-16T03:04:00+00:00

Fix the wrong `if' condition for the check if the requested timer is
available.

The bitmap avail is used to store if a timer is used already.  test_bit()
is used to check if the requested timer is available.  If a bit in the
avail bitmap is set it means that the timer is available.

The runtime effect would be that allocating a specific timer always fails
(versus telling cs5535_mfgpt_alloc_timer to allocate the first available
timer, which works).

Revert "tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes received"

2011-06-03T21:33:24+00:00

This reverts commit b1c43f82c5aa265442f82dba31ce985ebb7aa71c.

It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues.

It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can
cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41af6a: "tty: fix endless
work loop when the buffer fills up").

It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf()
function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code,
and didn't actually check for the error in the caller.

And it didn't actually work at all.  BenH bisected down odd tty behavior
to it:
  "It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X
   server for me, possibly related to PTYs.  For example, cat'ing a
   large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a
   loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace
   data in the quoted bits further down).

   ...

   Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the
   flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because
   the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop
   forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer
   process that could have emptied the PTY."

which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41af6a.

Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

kgdbts: only use new asm-generic/ptrace.h api when needed

2011-06-01T07:35:01+00:00

The new instruction_pointer_set helper is defined for people who have
converted to asm-generic/ptrace.h, so don't use it generally unless
the arch needs it (in which case it has been converted).  This should
fix building of kgdb tests for arches not yet converted.

kgdbts: unify/generalize gdb breakpoint adjustment

2011-05-27T00:12:36+00:00

The Blackfin arch, like the x86 arch, needs to adjust the PC manually
after a breakpoint is hit as normally this is handled by the remote gdb.
However, rather than starting another arch ifdef mess, create a common
GDB_ADJUSTS_BREAK_OFFSET define for any arch to opt-in via their kgdb.h.
