<content type='text'>
When the kernel is running in secure boot mode, we lock down the kernel to
prevent userspace from modifying the running kernel image.  Whilst this
includes prohibiting access to things like /dev/mem, it must also prevent
access by means of configuring driver modules in such a way as to cause a
device to access or modify the kernel image.

To this end, annotate module_param* statements that refer to hardware
configuration and indicate for future reference what type of parameter they
specify.  The parameter parser in the core sees this information and can
skip such parameters with an error message if the kernel is locked down.
The module initialisation then runs as normal, but just sees whatever the
default values for those parameters is.

Note that we do still need to do the module initialisation because some
drivers have viable defaults set in case parameters aren't specified and
some drivers support automatic configuration (e.g. PNP or PCI) in addition
to manually coded parameters.

This patch annotates drivers in sound/oss/.

  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include &lt;linux/uaccess.h&gt;!" \

Since recently we have kernel_read_file_from_path(), and it's doing
the same thing as our own home-baked mod_firmware_load().  Let's use
the official API function and clean up the old code.

We want to remove all time_t users from the kernel because of
y2038 compatibility. This particular instance does not even
use time_t to store a seconds value, so we can simply use
'unsigned int', which seems more fitting anywhere.

The same code is used in two OSS files.

<content type='text'>
The function setup_timer combines the initialization of a timer with the
initialization of the timer's function and data fields. The mulitiline
code for timer initialization is now replaced with function setup_timer.

Also, quoting the mod_timer() function comment:
-&gt; mod_timer() is a more efficient way to update the expire field of an
   active timer (if the timer is inactive it will be activated).

Use setup_timer() and mod_timer() to setup and arm a timer, making the
code compact and aid readablity.

<title>sound/oss: remove VIRT_TO_BUS dependency</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c83d1b37d45a2ecaea7a6ba4ea010f717bdb2740</id>
<content type='text'>
The OSS sound drivers used to rely on virt_to_bus(), but don't any more,
so we can remove the Kconfig dependency.

As a lot of architectures don't provide VIRT_TO_BUS any more, removing
the dependency in sounds/oss/ would make the deprecated drivers appear
there, which we probably don't want. Instead I'm replacing the
simple dependency with 'VIRT_TO_BUS || RPC || NETWINDER' so we can
still build these sound drivers for the platforms that need them,
but don't change anything on other architectures.

As a follow-up, we can remove the virt_to_bus() implementation
and Kconfig symbol in the ARM architecture.
