During bootup performance tracing we see repeated occurrences of
/sys/kernel/uid/* events for the same uid, leading to a,
in this case, rather pointless userspace processing for the
same uid over and over.
This is usually caused by tools which change their uid to "nobody",
to run without privileges to read data supplied by untrusted users.
This change delays the execution of the (already existing) scheduled
work, to cleanup the uid after one second, so the allocated and announced
uid can possibly be re-used by another process.
This is the current behavior, where almost every invocation of a
binary, which changes the uid, creates two events:
$ read START < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \
for i in `seq 100`; do su --shell=/bin/true bin; done; \
read END < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \
echo $(($END - $START))
178
With the delayed cleanup, we get only two events, and userspace finishes
a bit faster too:
$ read START < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \
for i in `seq 100`; do su --shell=/bin/true bin; done; \
read END < /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum; \
echo $(($END - $START))

Thanks, but it turns out I hit a 32 bit integer overflow in
the gain calculation. I'd like to mend that with the following
patch. Now max_uV could be increased up to 4.294 V, enough to
charge LiPo cells.

The V3 regulator can be configured with an external resistor
connected to the feedback pin (R24 in the data sheet) to
increase the voltage range.
For example, hx4700 has R24 = 3.32 kOhm to achieve a maximum

In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access
to the driver_data pointer in struct device. Instead, the functions
dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used. These functions
have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with
all older kernel versions.

Regulators need to be available early in init in order to allow them
to be available for consumers when requested. This is generally done
by registering them at subsys_initcall() time but not all regulator
drivers have done that. Convert these drivers to do so in order to
mimimise future support.

the PXA27x chips, the other in the VCC_USIM required as well
by PXA27x chips.

While doing trie_rebalance(): resize(), inflate(), halve() RCU free
tnodes before updating their parents. It depends on RCU delaying the
real destruction, but if RCU readers start after call_rcu() and before
parent update they could access freed memory.
It is currently prevented with preempt_disable() on the update side,
but it's not safe, except maybe classic RCU, plus it conflicts with
memory allocations with GFP_KERNEL flag used from these functions.
This patch explicitly delays freeing of tnodes by adding them to the
list, which is flushed after the update is finished.

On systems where CONFIG_SHMEM is disabled, mounting tmpfs filesystems can
fail when tmpfs options are used. This is because tmpfs creates a small
wrapper around ramfs which rejects unknown options, and ramfs itself only
supports a tiny subset of what tmpfs supports. This makes it pretty hard
to use the same userspace systems across different configuration systems.
As such, ramfs should ignore the tmpfs options when tmpfs is merely a
wrapper around ramfs.
This used to work before commit c3b1b1cbf0 as previously, ramfs would
ignore all options. But now, we get:
ramfs: bad mount option: size=10M
mount: mounting mdev on /dev failed: Invalid argument
Another option might be to restore the previous behavior, where ramfs
simply ignored all unknown mount options ... which is what Hugh prefers.
