ac854ff1fc microblaze: Save and restore msr in hw exception
I thought that this part of code could be removed because just
save and restore MSR but any code can't change it. But seems to
that any part of code works with this information.

This patch solved problem with allocation.

dcbb5593d9 loongson: fix cut-and-paste mis-merge
Ingo points out that I screwed up when merging the 'timers-for-linus'
branch in commit a03fdb7612.

A bit too much copy-and-pasting caused the end result to have an
extraneous 'return' in the middle of an expression.  That was obviously
bogus.  Blush.

7bd032dc27 USB serial: update the console driver
This patch (as1292) modifies the USB serial console driver, to make it
compatible with the recent changes to the USB serial core.  The most
important change is that serial->disc_mutex now has to be unlocked
following a successful call to usb_serial_get_by_index().

Other less notable changes include:

	Use the requested port number instead of port 0 always.

	Prevent the serial device from being autosuspended.

	Use the ASYNCB_INITIALIZED flag bit to indicate when the
	port hardware has been initialized.

In spite of these changes, there's no question that the USB serial
console code is still a big hack.

320348c8d5 usb-serial: straighten out serial_open
This patch (as1291) removes a bunch of code from serial_open(), things
that were rendered unnecessary by earlier patches.  A missing spinlock
is added to protect port->port.count, which needs to be incremented
even if the open fails but not if the tty has gotten a hangup.  The
test for whether the hardware has been initialized, based on the use
count, is replaced by a more transparent test of the
ASYNCB_INITIALIZED bit in the port flags.

ff8324df11 usb-serial: add missing tests and debug lines
This patch (as1290) adds some missing tests.  serial_down() isn't
supposed to do anything if the hardware hasn't been initialized, and
serial_close() isn't supposed to do anything if the tty has gotten a
hangup (because serial_hangup() takes care of shutting down the
hardware).

The patch also updates and adds a few debugging lines.

cc56cd0157 usb-serial: acquire references when a new tty is installed
This patch (as1287) makes serial_install() be reponsible for acquiring
references to the usb_serial structure and the driver module when a
tty is first used.  This is more sensible than having serial_open() do
it, because a tty can be opened many times whereas it is installed
only once, when it is created.  (Not to mention that these actions are
reversed when the tty is released, not when it is closed.)  Finally,
it is at install time that the TTY core takes its own reference to the
usb_serial module, so it is only fitting that we should act the same
way in regard to the lower-level serial driver.

8bc2c1b2da usb-serial: change logic of serial lookups
This patch (as1286) changes usb_serial_get_by_index().  Now the
routine will check whether the serial device has been disconnected; if
it has then the return value will be NULL.  If the device hasn't been
disconnected then the routine will return with serial->disc_mutex
held, so that the caller can use the structure without fear of racing
against driver unloads.

This permits the scope of table_mutex in destroy_serial() to be
reduced.  Instead of protecting the entire function, it suffices to
protect the part that actually uses serial_table[], i.e., the call to
return_serial().  There's no longer any danger of the refcount being
incremented after it reaches 0 (which was the reason for having the
large scope previously), because it can't reach 0 until the serial
device has been disconnected.

Also, the patch makes serial_install() check that serial is non-NULL
before attempting to use it.

f5b0953a89 usb-serial: put subroutines in logical order
This patch (as1285) rearranges the subroutines in usb-serial.c
concerned with tty lifetimes into a more logical order: install, open,
hangup, close, release.  It also updates the formatting of the
kerneldoc comments.

41bd34ddd7 usb-serial: change referencing of port and serial structures
This patch (as1284) changes the referencing of the usb_serial and
usb_serial_port structures in usb-serial.c.  It's not feasible to make
the port structures keep a reference to the serial structure, because
the ports need to remain in existence when serial is released -- quite
a few of the drivers expect this.  Consequently taking a reference
to the port when the device file is open is insufficient; such a
reference would not pin serial.

To fix this, we now take a reference to serial when the device file is
opened.  The final put_device() for the ports occurs in
destroy_serial(), so that the ports will last as long as they are
needed.

The patch initializes all the port devices, including those in the
unused "fake" ports.  This makes the code more uniform because they
can all be released in the same way.  The error handling code in
usb_serial_probe() is much simplified by this approach; instead of
freeing everything by hand we can use a single usb_serial_put() call.

Also simplified is the port-release mechanism.  Instead of being two
separate routines, port_release() and port_free() can be combined into
one.
