2.5.58 long-format changelog
Summary of changes from v2.5.57 to v2.5.58
============================================
<dougg@torque.net>
SG_IO ioctl in block layer
The attachment modifies the SG_IO ioctl that is in
the block layer to:
- convey the SCSI status value back via the sg_io_hdr
structure
- in the event of CHECK CONDITION, convey the sense
buffer back via the sg_io_hdr structure
- set "output" fields in sg_io_hdr structure to sane
values
- modify the errno behaviour to be more like the
SCSI generic driver's SG_IO ioctl
This patch was presented around lk 2.5.51 but fell between
the cracks. The only modification is to take account of
the changes to scsi/scsi_lib.c since then.

[PATCH] add scsi_level to scsi_device sysfs attributes
Hi -
This simple patch adds scsi_level to the scsi_device sysfs attributes,
mainly for use with Doug Gilbert's lsscsi program.
<wrlk@riede.org>
Change signal used to exit scsi error handlers
I earlier reported, that the error handler for ide-scsi exits prematurely if modprobed
from rc.sysinit. I put in some debug prints to apprehend the culprit responsible for
sending the SIGHUP signal that causes the exit.
This is what my log captured:
Jan 1 12:20:13 fallguy kernel: Process 223 [modprobe] starting scsi error handler
Jan 1 12:20:13 fallguy kernel: Wake up parent of scsi_eh_2, pid 224
Jan 1 12:20:13 fallguy kernel: Signals pending for scsi_eh_2: 00000000 00000000
Jan 1 12:20:13 fallguy kernel: Error handler scsi_eh_2 sleeping
Jan 1 12:20:13 fallguy kernel: scsi2 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
[detected devices skipped]
Jan 1 12:20:14 fallguy kernel: Signal 15 sent from 181 [rc.sysinit] to 182 [getkey]
Jan 1 12:20:14 fallguy kernel: Signal 1 sent from 22 [init] to 22 [init]
Jan 1 12:20:14 fallguy kernel: Signal 18 sent from 22 [init] to 22 [init]
Jan 1 12:20:14 fallguy kernel: Signal 1 sent from 22 [init] to 22 [init]
Jan 1 12:20:14 fallguy kernel: Signal 1 sent from 22 [init] to 24 [initlog]
Jan 1 12:20:14 fallguy kernel: Signal 1 sent from 22 [init] to 78 [khubd]
Jan 1 12:20:14 fallguy kernel: Signal 1 sent from 22 [init] to 224 [scsi_eh_2]
Jan 1 12:20:14 fallguy kernel: Signals pending for scsi_eh_2: 00000001 00000000
Jan 1 12:20:14 fallguy kernel: Error handler scsi_eh_2 exiting
Here is a snapshot of some processes made during rc.sysinit:
F UID PID PPID PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TTY TIME COMMAND
100 0 1 0 15 0 1332 420 schedu S ? 0:05 init
...
040 0 22 1 16 0 1332 388 wait4 S tty1 0:00 init
000 0 23 22 15 0 4116 1316 wait4 S tty1 0:00 /bin/bash /
040 0 24 23 16 0 2160 1364 schedu S tty1 0:00 /sbin/initl
...
Init must have forked to exec bash to exec rc.sysinit which then gets re-executed
through initlog. When rc.sysinit ends, the last thing it does is send that TERM
signal from sub-process 181 to getkey (process 182) -- the 'Signal 15 ...' line
above.
As the forked init (process 22) exits, it sends a flurry of signals to all surviving
processes created from it. That looks like standard "if I am to die I need to take
all my offspring down with me" behavior -- do you agree?
Since we want error handlers to survive, IMHO that means that the choice of signal
for error handler exit is unfortunate. The source of scsi_error suggests SIGPWR
might be a worthy alternative. I think that is true. From inspecting init source,
it is not capable of sending SIGPWR. SIGPWR should never be sent by dying processes
(its sole use should be from a power daemon _to_ init to shut the system down when
the juice is running out).
So I suggest the following changes to hosts.c and scsi_error.c:
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] USB: fix error message when loading the digi_acceleport driver.
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] USB: Fix problem of sending the wrong device_id to the usb serial driver on probe()
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] USB: visor driver, add the proper structure for the palm request 4 command
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] USB visor: Split up the initialization command logic to handle different device types better.
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>
remove SCSI's use of signals for killing the error handler thread
- change the eh_notify semaphore to a completion
- add complete_and_exit() to the thread
- use a host structure flag to signal thread death instead of the signal
<jejb@mulgrave.(none)>
[SCSI] add missing eh_thread kill instruction
<hch@lst.de>
[PATCH] allow NULL dev argument to scsi_add_host
We need scsi_add_host sometimes without having a struct device (i.e.
eisa/vlb drivers, ieee1394 storage), so handle that case gracefully.
<baldrick@wanadoo.fr>
[PATCH] get rid of speedtouch kernel thread
speedtouch: remove the kernel thread and all the junk that went with it.
The work it did can all be done in interrupt context, so use a tasklet instead.
<baldrick@wanadoo.fr>
[PATCH] eliminate global minor array in speedtouch
This is the mysterious masked patch I just sent, but with a name this time.
speedtouch: get rid of the global minor_data array. This means that there is now no
limit to the number of devices that can be handled by the driver.
<baldrick@wanadoo.fr>
[PATCH] remove redundant casts in speedtouch
speedtouch: remove some redundant casts.
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] USB bluetty: fix incorrect url in help text.
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] USB: usb-skeleton MINOR_BASE change
Mirrors a change made in the 2.4 version of the driver by Randy Dunlap.
<baldrick@wanadoo.fr>
[PATCH] remove duplicate spinlocks from speedtouch
speedtouch: struct sk_buff_head has a spinlock built in, so no need for our own.
<oliver@oenone.homelinux.org>
[PATCH] USB midi fixes
- correct write error path
- use GFP_ATOMIC in interrupt
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] USB midi: fix typo in previous patch
<oliver@oenone.homelinux.org>
[PATCH] USB audio: using GFP_KERNEL with a spinlock held
- with a spinlock held GFP_ATOMIC must be used
<oliver@oenone.homelinux.org>
[PATCH] USB xpad: fix URB leak in open error path
- fix error path in open
<cobra@compuserve.com>
[PATCH] Trivial USB doc patch
David Brownell suggested I forward this to you. I ran across it while
trying to setup some USB debug info...
<mdharm-usb@one-eyed-alien.net>
[PATCH] USB storage: clean up debugging
This patch makes the debug system only print out the valid bytes of a
command. Greg, please apply.
Andries suggested this... while some would think that seeing the extra
bytes might be good, it is kinda noisy.
<mochel@osdl.org>
sysfs: return -EFAULT if copy_{to,from}_user() doesn't copy all bytes.
...instead of returning the error value (which is number of bytes remaining).
<mochel@osdl.org>
sysfs: restore count parameter to struct sysfs_ops::store().
- Fixup subsys_sysfs_ops along the way.
<jejb@raven.il.steeleye.com>
Update the generic DMA API to take GFP_ flags on allocation
dma_alloc_[non]coherent now takes the GFP_ flags as the last argument.
The flags passed in may not interfere with the memory zone.
<jejb@raven.il.steeleye.com>
Update x86 DMA API implementation to take GFP_ flags
<jejb@raven.il.steeleye.com>
Update arm implementation of DMA API to include GFP_ flags
<jejb@raven.il.steeleye.com>
update drivers using dma_alloc_[non]coherent for GFP_ flags
<mochel@osdl.org>
sysfs: reinstate count parameter for sysfs_ops.store() methods.
- Fixup bus, driver, and class methods.
<mochel@osdl.org>
sysfs: reinstate count parameter to sysfs_ops.store() methods.
- Fixup struct device_attribute.
- Fix the default device attributes.
<mochel@osdl.org>
sysfs: reinstate count parameter for PNP store() methods.
<mochel@osdl.org>
sysfs: fixup SCSI sysfs files
- Reinstate count parameter for store() methods.
- Remove off parameter from st.c and osst.c sysfs methods.
- Remove count parameter from st.c and osst.c show() methods.
<mochel@osdl.org>
sysfs: Fixup s390 sysfs files.
- Remove count and off parameters from show() methods.
- Remove off parameter from store() methods.
Note 1: These have not been tested, but should be obviously correct.
Note 2: snprintf() was replaced with sprintf() where the filled buffer
would obviously be < PAGE_SIZE. (like when printing single integer values).
In places where strings were printed, PAGE_SIZE is used as the max string
size.
<rth@kanga.twiddle.net>
[MODULES] Centralize undefined symbol checks; handle undef weak.
<mochel@osdl.org>
sysfs: Fixup MCA sysfs files.
- Remove count and off parameters from show() methods.
- Remove manual handling of reading from an offset, since the sysfs core
handles that now.
- Remove temp. buffer.
<mochel@osdl.org>
sysfs: Fixup NUMA sysfs file.
- Remove count and off parameters from per-node meminfo show() method.
<perex@suse.cz>
PnP update
- ISA PnP - removed isapnp_card_protocol reference
- NE1000/2000 - fixed exit sequence and bugs in PnP code
- aironet4500 - fixed exit sequence
- ISDN - hisax_fcpcipnp - fixed compilation
- OSS sound drivers - ad1848, cs4232 - updated to latest PnP code

<jochen@scram.de>
[PATCH] NFSv2 READDIR encoding fix
When mounting a Linux partition with NFSv2, READDIR fills in the last
cookie without properly byte-swapping it. The following READDIR will
fail, so the NFS client sees a truncated directory.
Fix it thus.
<Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>
[PATCH] sd.c
The below does two things:
(i) do not try to spin up a CF reader without media
(ii) be careful when asking for the cache parameters mode page
[do not ask for this page when no media are present:
it is meaningless, and some devices react badly if we do;
check the reply so that we do not read past the end of the reply;
first give a small transport length - some USB devices are unhappy
if we ask for more than they provide]
Andries
<cminyard@mvista.com>
[PATCH] IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) driver
<linux@brodo.de>
[PATCH] cpufreq: add sysfs interface
This patch adds a sysfs interface to the cpufreq core, and marks the
previous /proc/cpufreq interface as deprecated.
As in drivers/base/cpu.c a "CPU driver" is registered, cpufreq acts as
"interface" to this, offering the following files for each CPU
(in /system/devices/sys/cpu.../) where CPUfreq support is present
cpuinfo_min_freq (ro) - minimum frequency (in kHz) the CPU supports
cpuinfo_max_freq (ro) - maximum frequency (in kHz) the CPU supports
scaling_min_freq (rw) - minimum frequency (in kHz) cpufreq may scale
the CPU core to
scaling_max_freq (rw) - maximum frequency (in kHz) cpufreq may scale
the CPU core to
scaling_governor (rw) - governor == "A feedback device on a machine
or engine that is used to provide
automatic control, as of speed,
pressure, or temperature" [1, as noted
by David Kimdon]. Decides what frequency
is used. Currently, only "performance"
and "powersave" are supported, more may
be added later.
(In future, a file scaling_driver (ro) which shows what CPUfreq driver
is used (arm-sa1100, gx-suspmod, speedstep, longrun, powernow-k6,
...) might be added, and this driver will be allowed to add files
scaling_driver_* for driver-specific settings like "prefer fast FSB".
And scaling_governor_* files might offer settings for the governor.)
To implement this sysfs interface, the driver model "interface" code
is used. Unfortunately, it has a non-trivial locking bug in
drivers/base/intf.c: there's a down_write call for
cls->subsys.rwsem in add_intf(), which then calls add(), which may call
intf->add_device(), which may call interface_add_data(), which calls
kobject_register(), which calls kobject_add(), which then tries to
down_write cls->subsys.rwsem. Remember, that was already locked writable
in add_intf().
Because of that, interface_add_data() is commented out; this means
that no link in /system/class/cpu/cpufreq is added, and that the
dev-removal code isn't called. This shouldn't be a problem yet,
though; as no cpufreq driver I know of is capable of CPU hotplugging.

[PATCH] cpufreq: add driver for NatSemi Geode / Cyrix MediaGX
This patch by Hiroshi Miura adds a cpufreq driver for Cyrix MediaGX and
National Semiconductor Geode processors using "Suspend Modulation". It's
partly based on Zwane Mwaikambo's work.
<willy@debian.org>
[PATCH] parisc updates for 2.5.56
Updates for 2.5.56:
- Integrate Stephen Rothwell's compat code
- OProfile support for Randolph Chung
- Makefile updates from Sam Ravnborg
- Regenerated defconfig as requested by Rusty
- Generic device model updates (James Bottomley)
- And lots of general updating bugfixing, etc.
<axboe@suse.de>
[PATCH] rbtree core for io scheduler
This patch has a bunch of io scheduler goodies that are, by now, well
tested in -mm and by self and Nick Piggin. In order of interest:
- Use rbtree data structure for sorting of requests. Even with the
default queue lengths that are fairly short, this cuts a lot of run
time for io scheduler intensive work loads. If we go to longer queue
lengths, it very quickly becomes a necessity.
- Add sysfs interface for the tunables. At the same time, finally kill
the BLKELVGET/BLKELVSET completely. I made these return -ENOTTY in
2.5.1, but there are left-overs around the kernel. This old interface
was never any good, it was centered around just one io scheduler.
The io scheduler core itself has received count less hours of tuning by
myself and Nick, should be in pretty good shape. Please apply.
Andrew, I made some sysfs changes to the version from 2.5.56-mm1. It
didn't even compile without warnings (or work, for that matter), as the
sysfs store/show procedures needed updating. Hmm?
<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
[PATCH] Clean up RPC client credcache lookups [1/6]
Clean up RPC client credcache lookups.
- Remove the limitation whereby the RPC client may only look up
credentials for the current task.
The ability to lookup arbitrary credentials is needed in order to allow
a user daemon to set the RPCSEC_GSS private information once it
has finished negotiating the RPCSEC user context with the server.
<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
[PATCH] XDR 'encode' phase move [2/6]
The RPCSEC_GSS user context defines a 'sequence number' in the AUTH header
fields in order to provide protection against replay attacks. This
number needs to lie within a given 'window', and is required to be updated
even when retransmitting dropped requests.
In order to allow this update to occur, move the XDR 'encode' phase
so that it is done immediately before writing the data to the socket.
<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
[PATCH] RPCSEC upcall mechanism [3/6]
This patch provides the upcall mechanism that will be used for communicating
with the RPCSEC client user daemons.
It sets up a 'ramfs' style filesystem (rpc_pipefs) that is populated with
named pipes. Each time the kernel initializes a new NFS, lockd, statd or
portmapper client, a directory automatically gets set up in this fs.
The directory is initially only populated with a single file "info"
that provides information such as the server IP address, the port number
and the RPC service for the benefit of the user daemon.
When an RPCSEC_GSS mechanism needs to communicate with the daemon, it
is provided with a toolkit for setting up a named pipe in the same
directory. It can then perform upcalls/downcalls in order to talk to the
daemon in much the same way as is done by CODA.
The NFSv4 client will also need to use this same filesystem to communicate
with its user daemon in order to do name-to-uid/name-from-uid and
name-to-gid/name-from-gid translation.
<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
[PATCH] RPCSEC_GSS authentication framework [4/6]
This patch provides the basic framework for RPCSEC_GSS authentication
in the RPC client. The protocol is fully described in RFC-2203.
Sun has supported it in their commercial NFSv3 and v2 implementations
for quite some time, and it has been specified in RFC3010 as being
mandatory for NFSv4.
- Update the mount_data struct for NFSv2 and v3 in order to allow them
to pass an RPCSEC_GSS security flavour. Compatibility with existing
versions of the 'mount' program is ensured by requiring that RPCSEC
support be enabled using the new flag NFS_MOUNT_SECFLAVOUR.
- Provide secure authentication, and later data encryption on
a per-user basis. A later patch will an provide an implementation
of the Kerberos 5 security mechanism. SPKM and LIPKEY are still
being planned.
- Security context negotiation and initialization are all assumed
to be done in userland. A later patch will provide the actual upcall
mechanisms to allow for this.
<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
[PATCH] RPCSEC_GSS client upcall user [5/6]
This patches the RPCSEC_GSS client to make use of the upcall mechanism
that was provided by patch [3/6].
If an RPC task presents a non-uptodate credential to call_refresh(),
a user daemon is contacted by means of a dedicated rpc_pipefs pipe.
The daemon is then fed the uid for which it must establish a new RPCSEC
security context.
While the daemon goes about its business, the RPC task is put to sleep
on a wait queue in order to allow the 'rpciod' process to service other
requests. If another task wants to use the same credential, it too will
be put to sleep once it reaches call_refresh(). A timeout mechanism
ensures that requests are retried (or that 'soft' mounts fail) if the
daemon crashes / is killed.
Once the daemon has established the RPCSEC context, it writes the result
back to the pipe, causing the credential to be updated. Those RPC tasks
that were sleeping on the context are automatically woken up, and
their execution can proceed.
<trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>
[PATCH] minimal Kerberos V5 client support [6/6]
The following patch provides minimal client support for the
(mandatory) Kerberos V5 authentication mechanism under RPCSEC_GSS.
See RFC2623 and RFC3010 for protocol details.
Only authentication is supported for the moment. Data integrity and/or
data privacy (encryption) will be implemented at a later stage.
<cobra@compuserve.com>
[PATCH] ohci/ehci debug updates for 2.5.56
These two files needed to be touched after the recent changes to
DRIVER_ATTR/driver_attribute structure members in 2.5.56. Personally,
it doesn't look to me like the size parameter should be removed, as now
users will need to hardcode PAGE_SIZE into their functions, rather than
it being passed from the place of allocation. But I'm not familiar with
the driverfs changes, so can't really say.
These changes, or something similar, are needed to make ohci-dbg and
ehci-dbg work at all in 2.5.56. ehci is untested, but compiles here.
I've tested the ohci changes and they appear to work.
<mochel@osdl.org>
[PATCH] cpufreq: sysfs interface update
This updates new cpufreq sysfs code to new rules.
<mochel@osdl.org>
[PATCH] sysfs: Fixup deadline iosched sysfs files.
This reinstates the count parameter to store() methods.
<linux@brodo.de>
[PATCH] cpufreq: per-CPU initialization
Allow for per-CPU initialization of CPUfreq. Therefore, it's not
necessary any longer to kmalloc the per-CPU policy struct. To use
this, cpufreq_driver->policy has to be set to NULL. Of course,
cpufreq_driver->init is needed then, which is the appropriate function
for CPU initialization. cpufreq_driver->exit is available for cleanup.
All existing drivers continue to work without any changes, just for
clarity ->init and ->exit are set to NULL, and the names accordingly.
<willy@debian.org>
[PATCH] More parisc updates
Updates for drivers/parisc. Mostly conversion to generic device model.
New hppb driver from Ryan Bradetich.
<jejb@raven.il.steeleye.com>
generic/dma-mapping.h: remove BUG_ON flags not GFP_ATOMIC
drivers should always check for a NULL return anyway, so the fact
that the pci_ API is GFP_ATOMIC shouldn't matter.
<mochel@osdl.org>
[PATCH] fix cpufreq compilation
This is needed to compile kernel/cpufreq.c if the legacy procfs interface
is not enabled in the latest BK tree.
<cubic@miee.ru>
[PATCH] Fix AMD device ID table bug
This fixes the wrong order of array(amd_ide_chips) that causes a BUG()
in 436 line with any conditions, because we use the wrong amd_config.
<trini@kernel.crashing.org>
[PATCH] Don't ask about "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support" on some archs
The following patch adds an explicit no list of arches who do not want
to have the "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support" RTC driver asked. This
adds PPC32 (who for a long time had their own 'generic' RTC driver, and
then have adopted the genrtc driver) and PARISC (who have always used
the genrtc driver). Per request of Peter Chubb, IA64 is on this list as
well.
The problem is that on some archs there is no hope of this driver
working, and having it compiled into the kernel can cause many different
problems. On the other hand, there are some arches for whom that driver
does work, on some platforms. So having an explicit yes list would
result in some rather ugly statements.
<rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>
[PATCH] use <asm/bug.h> for BUG() defines
This patch moves BUG() and PAGE_BUG() from asm/page.h into asm/bug.h.
We also fix up linux/dcache.h, which included asm/page.h for the sole
purpose of getting the BUG() definition.
Since linux/kernel.h and linux/smp.h make use of BUG(), asm/bug.h is
included there as well.
In addition, linux/jbd.h did not contain a clear path with which to
obtain the archtecture BUG() definition, but did contain its own
definition.
<johnstul@us.ibm.com>
[PATCH] linux-2.5.57_timer-none_A0.patch
This creates an empty timer_opt structure (timer_none) which is then
used as a default initializer to the timer pointer. This lets us avoid
having to check before dereferencing the timer in future code.
<johnstul@us.ibm.com>
[PATCH] linux-2.5.57_delay-cleanup_A1.patch
This cleans up the delay code by moving the timer-specific
implementations into the timer_ops struct. Thus, rather then doing:
if(x86_delay_tsc)
__rdtsc_delay(loops);
else if(x86_delay_cyclone)
__cyclone_delay(loops);
else if(whatever....
we just simply do:
timer->delay(loops);
Making it much easier to accommodate alternate time sources.

Add GFP_ flags to parisc DMA API implementation
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] namespace pollution in skfddi driver
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@bergmann-dalldorf.de>
The skfp driver has a global function named 'set_int'. This makes
it static to avoid namespace pollution.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] move snd_legacy_find_free_ioport to opti92x-ad1848.c
From: Marcus Alanen <maalanen@ra.abo.fi>
Moves the snd_legacy_find_free_ioport definition to opti92x-ad1848.c,
since it is the only user.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] Module state and address in /proc/modules.
The address allows oprofile and ksymoops to work again. The state is
simply informative.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] namespace pollution in eth bridge driver
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@bergmann-dalldorf.de>
A global variable should not be called 'ioctl_mutex',
this makes it static.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] namespace pollution in HDLC driver
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@bergmann-dalldorf.de>
A global variable should not be called 'debuglevel'. It can
be made static since it is only used in one file.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] Remove compile warning from drivers_ide_pci_cs5520.c
From: Bob Miller <rem@osdl.org>
The function, cs5520_tune_chipset() is declared to return an int.
Added a return statement instead of just falling of off the bottom.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] remove check_region from drivers_atm_ambassador.c
From: william stinson <wstinson@wanadoo.fr>
this proposed patch for drivers/atm/ambassador.c atm driver for Linux
removes one call to check_region using request_region instead
I don't have this hardware so patch is not tested. This patch removes
all references to check_region in this driver.
This is patch number 30 in a series of check_region patches I am doing as
part of the kernel janitors project.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] cli_sti in drivers_net_hamradio_bpqether.c
From: Chris Wilson <chris@qwirx.com>
As part of the Linux Kernel Janitors project, I would like to submit my
patch for bpqether.c.
The document Documentation/cli-sti-removal.txt says that cli() should no
longer be used to disable interrupts. This patch removes all references to
cli() and {save,restore}_flags.
- added a static spinlock to protect bpq_devices
- changed cli/sti and {save,restore}_flags to taking the spinlock and
disabling interrupts with spin_lock_irqsave
- included my previous patch for proc_net_create, but as a separate hunk,
so if you've already applied then just ignore the rejected hunk.
I have verified that the patched driver compiles without warnings, but
since I don't have the hardware I can't test it. Please treat with
caution.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] duplicate extern char _stext
From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>
Kill duplicate extern char _stext (already declared globally 14 lines before)
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] namespace pollution in Dell SMM driver
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@bergmann-dalldorf.de>
The i8k driver has global variables named 'force' and 'power_status'
that pollute the name space. This makes them static.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] namespace pollution in OSS_pas2 driver
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@bergmann-dalldorf.de>
The pas2 driver has a global variable named 'lock', which
pollutes the global namespace. This patch adds a pas_
prefix. The same is done for 'translate_code'.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] remove check_region from drivers_ide_legacy_umc8672.c
From: william stinson <wstinson@wanadoo.fr>
this patch for drivers/ide/legacy/umc8672.c ide driver for Linux
removes one call to check_region using request_region instead
I don't have this hardware so patch is not tested. This patch removes
all references to check_region in this driver.
This is patch number 31 in a series of check_region patches I am doing as
part of the kernel janitors project.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] driver_char_Kconfig bug (fwd)
From: Rusty Lynch <rusty@stinkycat.com>
VT support requires drivers/char/keyboard.c which makes function

CONFIG_INPUT=m or just not setting CONFIG_INPUT will result in a
compile error if CONFIG_VT is on.

[PATCH] Clustered APIC setup for >8 CPU systems
Clustered APIC setup patch. Needed to support generic systems with more
than 8 CPUs.
Motivation:
The current APIC destination mode ("Flat Logical") used in linux kernel
has an upper limit of 8 CPUs. For more than 8 CPUs, either "Clustered
Logical" or "Physical" mode has to be used.
The attached patch adds support such systems by organizing them into
logical clusters, with each cluster having 4 CPUs. This is activated by
a new config option "Support for other sub-arch SMP systems with more
than 8 CPUs", under Processor feature->Sub architecture.
The patch is made very simple and isolated, thanks to Martin J.
Bligh's patchsets, which has moved all APIC related functions into
sub-arch macros. Has zero impact on standard systems.
This patch enables all 16 logical processors on a generic, non-quad
based, system that we have here. Also, by looking at SuSE source, I
have also added a special switch, to specifically support Unisys
(ES7000). Just replacing #define SEQUENTIAL_APICID by CLUSTERED_APICID
in the patch should make it work on ES7000(not tested).

[PATCH] common m68knommu arch entry.S
This patch is the first in a series that groups the common
m68knommu entry.S code into a common entry.S file (this is
instead of having several similar files in lower sub-architecture
directories). The whole idea is to reduce code duplication.
<torvalds@home.transmeta.com>
