The attached patch adds extra permission grants to keys for the possessor of a
key in addition to the owner, group and other permissions bits. This makes
SUID binaries easier to support without going as far as labelling keys and key
targets using the LSM facilities.
This patch adds a second "pointer type" to key structures (struct key_ref *)
that can have the bottom bit of the address set to indicate the possession of
a key. This is propagated through searches from the keyring to the discovered
key. It has been made a separate type so that the compiler can spot attempts
to dereference a potentially incorrect pointer.
The "possession" attribute can't be attached to a key structure directly as
it's not an intrinsic property of a key.
Pointers to keys have been replaced with struct key_ref *'s wherever
possession information needs to be passed through.
This does assume that the bottom bit of the pointer will always be zero on
return from kmem_cache_alloc().
The key reference type has been made into a typedef so that at least it can be
located in the sources, even though it's basically a pointer to an undefined
type. I've also renamed the accessor functions to be more useful, and all
reference variables should now end in "_ref".

BUG fixes:
The driver used to allocate memory with spinlock held which has been
fixed in this patch.
The driver was printing the entire buffer when it received a invalid
entry in image_type. The fix is to only print a warning message and not
the buffer.
Usability enhancements:
It is possible that due to user error the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu
entries might be missing, this can happen if the user does the following
echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
This will make the entries in /sys/class/firmware/ to disappear and the
only way get them back was bby unloading and loading the driver.
This patch makes the user recreate these entries by echoing init in to
image_type.
This patch has been tested with Libsmbios and Dell OpenManage.

Kernel connector - new userspace <-> kernel space easy to use
communication module which implements easy to use bidirectional
message bus using netlink as it's backend. Connector was created to
eliminate complex skb handling both in send and receive message bus
direction.
Connector driver adds possibility to connect various agents using as
one of it's backends netlink based network. One must register
callback and identifier. When driver receives special netlink message
with appropriate identifier, appropriate callback will be called.
From the userspace point of view it's quite straightforward:
socket();
bind();
send();
recv();
But if kernelspace want to use full power of such connections, driver
writer must create special sockets, must know about struct sk_buff
handling... Connector allows any kernelspace agents to use netlink
based networking for inter-process communication in a significantly
easier way:
int cn_add_callback(struct cb_id *id, char *name, void (*callback) (void *));
void cn_netlink_send(struct cn_msg *msg, u32 __groups, int gfp_mask);
struct cb_id
{
__u32 idx;
__u32 val;
};
idx and val are unique identifiers which must be registered in
connector.h for in-kernel usage. void (*callback) (void *) - is a
callback function which will be called when message with above idx.val
will be received by connector core.
Using connector completely hides low-level transport layer from it's
users.
Connector uses new netlink ability to have many groups in one socket.

This is a driver for the USB touchpad which can be found on post-February 2005
Apple PowerBooks.
This driver is derived from Johannes Berg's appletrackpad driver [1],
but it has been improved in some areas:
* appletouch is a full kernel driver, no userspace program is necessary
* appletouch can be interfaced with the synaptics X11 driver[2], in order
to have touchpad acceleration, scrolling, two/three finger tap, etc.
This driver has been tested by the readers of the 'debian-powerpc' mailing
list for a few weeks now and I believe it is now ready for inclusion into the
mainline kernel.
Credits go to Johannes Berg for reverse-engineering the touchpad protocol,
Frank Arnold for further improvements, and Alex Harper for some additional
information about the inner workings of the touchpad sensors.

When introducing the generic asm-offsets.h support the dependency
chain for the prepare targets was changed. All build scripts expecting
include/asm/asm-offsets.h to be made when using the prepare target would broke.
With the limited number of prepare targets left in arch Makefiles
the trivial solution was to introduce a new arch specific target: archprepare
The dependency chain looks like this now:
prepare
|
+--> prepare0
|
+--> archprepare
|
+--> scripts_basic
+--> prepare1
|
+---> prepare2
|
+--> prepare3
So prepare 3 is processed before prepare2 etc.
This guaantees that the asm symlink, version.h, scripts_basic
are all updated before archprepare is processed.
prepare0 which build the asm-offsets.h file will need the
actions performed by archprepare.
The head target is now named prepare, because users scripts will most
likely use that target, but prepare-all has been kept for compatibility.
