The fix in commit 6b4e81db25 ("i8k: Tell gcc that *regs gets
clobbered") to work around the gcc miscompiling i8k.c to add "+m
(*regs)" caused register pressure problems and a build failure.
Changing the 'asm' statement to 'asm volatile' instead should prevent
that and works around the gcc bug as well, so we can remove the "+m".
[ Background on the gcc bug: a memory clobber fails to mark the function
the asm resides in as non-pure (aka "__attribute__((const))"), so if
the function does nothing else that triggers the non-pure logic, gcc
will think that that function has no side effects at all. As a result,
callers will be mis-compiled.
Adding the "+m" made gcc see that it's not a pure function, and so
does "asm volatile". The problem was never really the need to mark
"*regs" as changed, since the memory clobber did that part - the
problem was just a bug in the gcc "pure" function analysis - Linus ]

More recent GCC caused the i8k driver to stop working, on Slackware
compiler was upgraded from gcc-4.4.4 to gcc-4.5.1 after which it didn't
work anymore, meaning the driver didn't load or gave total nonsensical
output.
As it turned out the asm(..) statement forgot to mention it modifies the
*regs variable.

All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial
way to serialize their private file operations,
typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic
pushdown from VFS.
None of these drivers appears to want to lock against
other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level
lock in their file operations, meaning that there
is no lock-order inversion problem.
Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely,
replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case.
Using a scripted approach means we can avoid
typos.
These drivers do not seem to be under active
maintainance from my brief investigation. Apologies
to those maintainers that I have missed.

Push down the bkl from procfs's ioctl main handler to its users.
Only three procfs users implement an ioctl (non unlocked) handler.
Turn them into unlocked_ioctl and push down the Devil inside.
v2: PDE(inode)->data doesn't need to be under bkl
v3: And don't forget to git-add the result
v4: Use wrappers to pushdown instead of an invasive and error prone
handlers surgery.

This trivial patch adds support for i8k on the new Dell Vostro models.
I tested it on my Vostro 1400, and it works. It does print a warning
when loading the module:
i8k: unable to get SMM BIOS version
But I couldn't figure out how to fix that. The module seems to work fine,
anyway...

* Convert files to UTF-8.
* Also correct some people's names
(one example is Eißfeldt, which was found in a source file.
Given that the author used an ß at all in a source file
indicates that the real name has in fact a 'ß' and not an 'ss',
which is commonly used as a substitute for 'ß' when limited to
7bit.)

Three main sets of changes:
1) dmi_get_system_info() return value should have been marked const,
since callers should not be changing that data.
2) const-ify DMI internals, since DMI firmware tables should,
whenever possible, be marked const to ensure we never ever write to
that data area.
3) const-ify DMI API, to enable marking tables const where possible
in low-level drivers.
And if we're really lucky, this might enable some additional
optimizations on the part of the compiler.
The bulk of the changes are #2 and #3, which are interrelated. #1 could
have been a separate patch, but it was so small compared to the others,
it was easier to roll it into this changeset.

Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const. Making
them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section
so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper
debug option they are then protected against corruption..

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
