Michael Tokarev 7da8b6ddc7 trivial: fix missing printk space in amd_k7_smp_check
This trivial patch fixes one missing space in printk.

I already fixed it about half a year ago or more, but the change (in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/smpboot.c at that time) didn't made into
mainline yet.

Linus Torvalds 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.

Alan Stern 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.

Alan Stern 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.

Alan Stern 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.

Alan Stern 7e29bb4b77 usb-serial: fix termios initialization logic
This patch (as1288) fixes the initialization logic in
serial_install().  A new tty always needs to have a termios
initialized no matter what, not just in the case where the lower
driver will override the termios settings.

Alan Stern 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.

Alan Stern 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.

Alan Stern 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.
