[PATCH] ia64: fix ia32 execve memory leak
The attached patch by Tony Luck fixes a memory leak in the ia32 execve code
path.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[TG3]: Initial implementation of 5705 support.
<jgarzik@redhat.com>
[TG3]: Bug fixes for 5705 support.
- (major) status block DMA address wasn't being set, for 5705. whoops. :)
- (minor) pass 5705-specific RX_STD_MAX_SIZE
- (minor) don't program RCVBDI_JUMBO_THRESH reg on 5705
- (very minor) re-order *THRESH, HOSTCC* regs per bcm570x driver order
<jgarzik@redhat.com>
[TG3]: More 5705 updates.
- do not zero stats/status block on 5705, they don't exist
(in controller memory, at least)
- define TG3_MAX_MTU macro such that it takes a (tp) pointer arg,
because the value varies between 5705 and non-5705
- use the macro to simply tg3_change_mtu
<jgarzik@redhat.com>
[TG3]: More 5705 fixes.
- call set-wire-speed phy function from tg3_phy_reset, not just _phy_probe
- disable set-wire-speed usage on certain chips, per bcm5700 driver
<jgarzik@redhat.com>
[TG3]: Another 5705 fix: enable eeprom write prot as needed.
<jgarzik@redhat.com>
[TG3]: Only write the on-nic sram addr on non-5705.
<jgarzik@redhat.com>
[TG3]: Add 5782 pci id.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[TG3]: Fix statistics on 5705.

`__swab32s' from incompatible pointer type by using le16_to_cpus instead
of le32_to_cpus .
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] USB: usb_sg_cancel() + disconnect, fewer messages
One tester reported that disconnecting in the middle of a scatterlist
operation would give a lot of confusing messages. This should improve
that situation a bunch: most of the messages were pointless. It also
resolves some related FIXMEs for both queue cleanup modes (cancelation,
and after transport fault).
- now only urbs in flight have non-null urb->dev, so we can avoid
trying to unlink unsubmitted or (common) already-completed urbs.
- it's ok to get -EBUSY unlink status, it just means the urb's
already being given back (though since it's in flight, it's
not an error to try unlinking).
Also, the relevant diagnostics now use dev_*() driver model calls,
making the kernel strings smaller and the output more useful.
<abbotti@mev.co.uk>
[PATCH] USB: ftdi_sio - fix memory leak and tidy up write bulk callback
The patch frees the bulk write urb's transfer buffer in the write
bulk callback (the buffer is allocated dynamically when the urb is
submitted). The patch also tidies up the write bulk callback
function a little bit - removing some unnecessary paranoid checks
and scheduling a soft interrupt regardless of the port's open count
(for consistency with other usb serial drivers).
<dhollis@davehollis.com>
[PATCH] USB: Add ax8817x support to usbnet
This patch adds support to usbnet for devices based on the ASIX AX88172
USB 2.0 Ethernet chipset.
<gaa@ulticom.com>
[PATCH] USB: new ids for io_ti driver
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[TG3]: More missing PCI IDs.
<rwhron@earthlink.net>
[PATCH] USB: version.h cleanup 1 of 4
<rwhron@earthlink.net>
[PATCH] USB: version.h cleanup 2 of 4
I used a combination of:
egrep -l 'UTS_RELEASE|LINUX_VERSION_CODE|\<KERNEL_VERSION\>'
and "grep -l linux/version.h" to find them. They compiled
as module/non-module for me. The previous patch adds
version.h, btw.
<rwhron@earthlink.net>
[PATCH] USB: version.h cleanup 3 of 4
<rwhron@earthlink.net>
[PATCH] USB: version.h cleanup 4 of 4
<quade@hsnr.de>
[PATCH] USB: writing usb driver documentation update
I noticed, that your documentation of your usb-skeleton driver
is not up to date. So I took the time to rework it slightly.
I append the patch to the version I found in kernel 2.6.0-test3.
<cat@zip.com.au>
[PATCH] USB: C99: 2.6.0-t3-bk7/Documentation
<andersen@codepoet.org>
[PATCH] Fix cdrom error handling in 2.6
In both 2.4 and in 2.6, error handling for bad cdrom media is
wrong. And it is my fault I'm afraid, since I botched an earlier
fix for the problem by putting the fix in the wrong spot.
My kids have a "Jumpstart Toddlers" cd they have long since
completely killed, which makes a great test disc. Without this
fix, the best time projection I can get for completing a dd type
sector copy is about 2 years... Most of that is spent thrashing
about in kernel space trying to re-read sectors we already know
are not correctable.... After the fix, I was able to rip a copy
the CD (or rather muddle through it getting lots of EIO errors)
in about 15 minutes.
Attached is the fix for 2.6.x,
<paulus@samba.org>
PPC32: Add the fadvise64_64 system call.
On PPC32 we reorder the arguments so they fit into 6 registers. Glibc will
need a two-line stub to change them from the standard order to the ordering
used by the system call: (fd, advice, offset, len).
<paulus@samba.org>
PPC32: Declare cpu_online_map and cpu_possible_map as cpumask_t.
<paulus@samba.org>
PPC32: Update some of the example configs
<torvalds@home.osdl.org>
Input: typo in device matching.
Too much cut-and-paste, noticed by Dmitry Torokhov <dtor_core@ameritech.net>
<vinay-rc@naturesoft.net>
[PATCH] vx_entry.c: remove release timer
sound/pcmcia/vx/vx_entry.c:
This patch removes the PCMCIA timer release functionality which is no
longer required. Without this the module does not compile.

[ARM PATCH] 1611/1: Add big-endian support to AFLAGS
Patch from Deepak Saxena
This is required for usr/initramfs_data.o to build properly when
CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN is enabled.
<dsaxena@com.rmk.(none)>
[ARM PATCH] 1615/1: Fix IOP3xx timer interrupts
Patch from Deepak Saxena
Fix IOP321 and IQ80310 timer interrupts to return IRQ_HANDLED
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[ARM] Noddy indentation fix for arch/arm/boot/Makefile.
<dsaxena@com.rmk.(none)>
[ARM PATCH] 1613/1: arch/arm/boot/Makefile fixups for IOP3xx and ADIFCC
Patch from Deepak Saxena
Small cleanups for ADIFCC and IOP3XX machine types to support
ATAG parameters. Working with Intel and ADI to get updated
bootloaders that pass the tags.
Also, all known IOP3xx boards have memory starting at 0xa0000000,
so we can remove the redundant ARCH_IQ* zreladdr values.
<dsaxena@com.rmk.(none)>
[ARM PATCH] 1616/1: Add PFN_TO_NID to IOP3xx
Patch from Deepak Saxena
<dsaxena@com.rmk.(none)>
[ARM PATCH] 1621/1: IOP3xx CPU detection (cleaned up)
Patch from Deepak Saxena
Removes extraneous bits that belong to separate IOP3xx PCI cleanup patch
Supersedes 1618/1
<dsaxena@com.rmk.(none)>
[ARM PATCH] 1623/1: Updated def-configs for IQ80310/321
Patch from Deepak Saxena
<dsaxena@com.rmk.(none)>
[ARM PATCH] 1620/1: dma_map_single/unmap_single support for ARM
Patch from Deepak Saxena
<dsaxena@com.rmk.(none)>
[ARM PATCH] 1559/1: updated include/asm-arm/checksum.h big-endian support
Patch from Deepak Saxena
This is an update to patch 1529/1 that cleans up the code so we don't need
#ifdef's for little vs. big-endian systems. Tested on both systems with
various network apps (ping, ftp, tftp, ssh, telnet, NFS root, http) with no
issues.
<fbecker@com.rmk.(none)>
[ARM PATCH] 1563/1: Update pxa-regs.h with correct gpio number for 48 MHz clock output
Patch from Frank Becker
GPIO for 48 MHz clock output is 7 not 8.
<nico@org.rmk.(none)>
[ARM PATCH] 1565/1: syscall macros clobbering returned error value
Patch from Nicolas Pitre
In both 2.5.70-rmk1 and 2.4.19-rmk7 the syscall macros are clobering
the returned error value when building library code.
Example code:
#include <linux/unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
extern int fake_syscall(int x, int y, int z);
_syscall3(int, fake_syscall, int, x, int, y, int, z)
Current generated code:
fake_syscall:
@ args = 0, pretend = 0, frame = 0
@ frame_needed = 0, uses_anonymous_args = 0
str lr, [sp, #-4]!
swi __NR_fake_syscall
cmn r0, #126
ldrls pc, [sp], #4
bl __errno_location
rsb r3, r0, #0
str r3, [r0, #0]
mvn r0, #0
ldr pc, [sp], #4
In the code above, whenever the return value is an error code, it
is lost due to the call to __errno_location. And because of the
asm("r0") constraint on the variable __res the compiler continues
using r0 for it even if it's now a pointer value. errno ends up with
a totally bogus value.
With the patch below the above code becomes:
fake_syscall:
@ args = 0, pretend = 0, frame = 0
@ frame_needed = 0, uses_anonymous_args = 0
stmfd sp!, {r4, lr}
swi __NR_fake_syscall
cmn r0, #126
mov r4, r0
bls .L3
bl __errno_location
rsb r3, r4, #0
str r3, [r0, #0]
mvn r4, #0
.L3:
mov r0, r4
ldmfd sp!, {r4, pc}
which is correct.
Oh and added a small estetic change for generated code too.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[TG3]: Reset PHY more reliably on 570{3,4,5} chips.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[TG3]: Fix 5788/5901, update TSO code.
- Do not set RDMAC_MODE_FIFO_LONG_BURST on 5788
- Do not set WDMAC_MODE_RX_ACCEL on 5788
- Note that 5788 cannot use tagged irq status.
- 5788 cannot do TSO
- 5788 cannot do NETIF_F_HIGHDMA.
- 5901 is 10/100 only.
- Update TSO firmware, add 5705 specific TSO firmware.
- Update TSO packet handling in ->hard_start_xmit() to
match updated TSO firmware.
- TSO is still off by default until more perf analysis is done.

[TG3]: Differentiate between TSO capable and TSO enabled.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[ETHTOOL]: Add {G,S}TSO support to ethtool_ops.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[TG3]: Add {get,set}_tso ethtool_ops support.
Also, include TSO support code when NETIF_F_TSO is available
but do not enable TSO by default even on capable cards. User
can turn it on via ethtool.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[TG3]: Bump version/reldate.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>

from getting in after the actual freq change / sleep one
- Close a few races
- Expose some IRQ stats & fix a problem where core99 machines
were getting tons of spurrious ADB events
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[IPV4]: Route cache /proc interface cleanup.
* use proc_net_fops_create to setup
* collapse two_line setup functions into the init routine
* proc_exit routine was never called and can go.
* cleaner to refer to proc_net as base rather than net/rt_acct
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[NETFILTER]: Trivial 2.6 tftp conntrack fix.
In 2.6, the TFTP conntrack helper returns -1 if the packet is too
short, but that is an invalid return code. Return NF_ACCEPT
instead.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[ARM] Fix vmlinux linker script
Since we're now 32-bit "armv" only, we don't need to select the
linker script in vmlinux.lds.S. Also, whoever moved vmlinux.lds.S
into arch/arm/kernel forgot to move the other scripts.
This cset replaces arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S with
arch/arm/vmlinux-armv.lds.in, and deletes the obsolete scripts.
<bdschuym@pandora.be>
[BRIDGE]: Add arpreply EBTABLES target.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[AX25]: Make sure and hold ref to dev.
The lower layers of ax25 hold a reference to the underlying device
but don't increment the ref count. This is safe because it does the
right thing when UNREGISTER notification comes in, but it is better
to do the right thing.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[AX25]: Convert to seq_file.
<bdschuym@pandora.be>
[BRIDGING]: Update Kconfig files for bridging firewall.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>

* beautify C99-initializers for PCI IDs
* PCIDEV_NAME wrapper to abstract device name storage location
* cleanup of the pci shutdown path. Also fixing a possible NULL-pointer
dereference when the driver is rmmod with the netdev still running.
<lists@mdiehl.de>
[IRDA]: vlsi_ir v0.5 update, 2/7.
* don't fail without procfs - it's only needed for diagnostics
* get rid of printk in favour of IRDA_DEBUG and friends wherever possible
* reduce kernellog noise depending on irda debuglevel
<lists@mdiehl.de>
[IRDA]: vlsi_ir v0.5 update, 3/7.
* fix error path for ring entry alloc in case pci_map failed
* get rid of BUG() - it's mostly in interrupt and there's no need
to kill the box on such issues
* correct endianess for the hardware view of ring descriptors
<lists@mdiehl.de>
[IRDA]: vlsi_ir v0.5 update, 4/7.
* interrupt handler cleanup, focus on fast path and low latency

[NET]: Fix 'spin_lock_irqrestore' typos in sk_mca.c
<laforge@netfilter.org>
[NETFILTER]: Fix ipt_REJECT if used on bridge.
<laforge@netfilter.org>
[NETFILTER]: Remove ipt_MIRROR target from 2.6.x
We have decided to remove the MIRROR target, since it was considered a
stupid and potentially dangeroups example code of the early netfilter
days that should never be used on the internet anyway.
<skewer@terra.com.br>
[NET]: Remove dead comment from dummy.c driver.
<laforge@netfilter.org>
[NETFILTER]: Remove ipt_unclean match from 2.6.x
We have decided to remove the unclean match, since it is considered
a potentially dangerous function of the current iptables code.
The match is used by lots of users who don't really undestand what kind
of danger they are imposing on the future-compatibility of their
networks. (just think of the ECN issue resulting from this kind of
filtering)
We'd rather keep it in patch-o-matic, where lots of other modules that
are only useful in experimental scenarios are kept.
Now that we don't have to keep it for compatibility reasons, we'd like
to remove it before 2.6.0 final is released.
<laforge@netfilter.org>
[NETFILTER]: Remove EXPERIMENTAL mark from some netfilter stuff.
<laforge@netfilter.org>
[NETFILTER]: Cosmetic netfilter patch.
- moves all MODULE_{AUTHOR,DESCRIPTION,LICENSE} statements to the same
location
- adds some missing MODULE_LICENSE(GPL) tags
- adds MODULE_DESCRIPTION and AUTHOR to all modules
<laforge@netfilter.org>
[NETFILTER]: NAT optimization.
The following patch against 2.6.0-test4 (courtesy of Patrick McHardy)
optimizes the NAT code. In the old implementation, the hash function
was passed to the LIST_DELETE macro, which resulted in it being called
two times instead of one.
<laforge@netfilter.org>
[NETFILTER]: Conntrack optimization (LIST_DELETE).
The following patch against 2.6.0-test4 (courtesy of Patrick McHardy)
optimizes the conntrack code. In the old implementation, the hash function
was passed to the LIST_DELETE macro, which resulted in it being called
two times instead of one.
<vinay-rc@naturesoft.net>
[NET]: Fix MCA device name handling in 3c509.c
<drepper@redhat.com>
[NET]: Check tgid not pid in scm_check_creds().
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[ARM] Fix device suspend/resume calls.
These calls no longer take "level" arguments, so there's no need to
call them multiple times.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[ARM] Fix ecard.c manufacturer and product files.
<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
[SPARC]: Update ethtool support in Sun net drivers.
<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
Update PowerMac IDE driver. Adapt to new driver model, add proper
support for Kauai ATA/100 and add activity led code.
NOTE: The activity LED code has been left out of Kconfig until the
proper support for it in the blk & ide layers have been merged
(pending patch from Jens Axboe)
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[ARM] Tweak the bridge control register for PCI and cardbus bridges.
This ensures that we release reset on devices behind a PCI bridge,
and that we have error reporting enabled behind bridges.
<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
Adapt PowerMac i2c-keywest driver to new driver model
<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
Fix PowerMac ALSA build with device model "name" field change
<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
Update PowerMac mediabay driver to new model, fix an old bug
that could prevent one of the timeouts from working, fix access
to MMIO based interface

[ARM] Remove pci_dev->dev.name in favour of pci_name()
<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
Adapt PowerMac "airport" driver to new driver model
<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
Fix build of controlfb driver
<benh@kernel.crashing.org>
Adapt PowerMac "platinum" video driver to new driver model
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[ARM] Remove old binutils compatibility.
Old binutils (without .incbin) had the idea that a certain assembler
instruction was illegal. binutils has since been fixed to allow it.

[ARM] Update AMBA suspend/resume model.
The device_driver suspend/resume methods are no longer used. Instead,

[ARM] Update SA1111 suspend/resume model.
The device_driver suspend/resume methods are no longer used. Instead,

support for this change.
We place the probe/remove/suspend/resume methods inside struct
sa1111_driver and call them from the SA1111 bus driver (ie, how
Pat wants this stuff done.)
We leave the parent bus device suspend/resume methods in the device
driver until power management for platform devices works again.
However, we adjust these methods so they run only once, like the
other PM methods.

[NETFILTER]: New iptables modules (iprange, CLASSIFY, SAME, NETMAP).
The following patch against 2.6.0-test4 adds four more iptables modules.
They are adding the following functionality
- iprange: matching against an arbitrary contiguous range of ip addresses
- CLASSIFY: setting skb->priority from iptables (so you can skip tc filter)
- NETMAP: SNAT a whole network 1:1 to another network
- SAME: tries to keep the assigned ip per client the same within an SNAT
pool

[PATCH] IOMMU overflow handling fix for MPT fusion
Currently mpt fusion does not handle IOMMU overflow (pci_map_sg returning 0)
very gracefully. It gets not reported to the upper layers. This patch fixes this.
As a related note the fusion driver tends to trigger the NMI watchdog as soon
as it goes into any error recovery, because it busy waits for seconds with
interrupts disabled (seems to be still true with the new error handling in 2.6).
This is a big inconvenient because it leads to a forced oops.
I tried to work around it by exporting touch_nmi_watchdog and using it in
the delays, but Linus was opposed to this approach. It would be nice
if someone could fix this. Afaik in 2.6 the error recovery should mostly
run in process context, so it should be possible to use schedule_timeout()
with interrupts on for the delays.
At least on x86-64 the NMI watchdog runs by default and even on i386 it is a
very useful debugging tool.

<lenehan@twibble.org>
[PATCH] dc395x [2/6] - cleanup devices
This cleans up the device management. It makes the init and cleanup

reverse order. Makes it clear which functions remove a device and
which ones free a device (or devices.)
<lenehan@twibble.org>
[PATCH] dc395x [3/6] - cleanup adapter init
Cleanup of the adapter initialization sequence. Now it's clear what

bunch of different functions. This then made it possible to ensure
that appropriate the resources were correctly released in the event

[PATCH] fixup some tagged queuing mess
This is a followup to Doug's comments and older work. It kills
sdev->tagged_queue which wasn't ever set in 2.5/2.6 except through
obscure and broken ioctls (!). As a reason of that tagged queing
didn't work for a lot of drivers, so this does change behaviour.
Be careful..
James, can you review the code in 53c700.c? Calling scsi_activate_tcq

me..

This is the 2.5 version of a 2.4 patch posted to the list long

volume writeable on the fly so we have to call check_disk_change
for write-protected devices in sd_open, too.

[PCMCIA] Add generic and per-controller power management handling.
Add per-quirk power management to aid saving/restoring controller
specific state. Also, add proper pci state saving/restoring.
Note that Cardbus bridges have to save and restore at least 0x48
bytes of configuration space, not 0x40.
This replaces the rather muddy save state in early initialisation,
restore it on socket init stuff that we previously had.
<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
[PCMCIA] Move PM restore from socket initialisation.
There is less reason for socket initialisation to vary between
controller types now. In fact, we could very well get rid of
much of the TI-specific socket initialisation quirk handling,
since TI realised that they should be more compatible with other
implementations in later versions of their bridges.

Now that we clearly know what each quirk type is doing, we can think

supports setting this bit.

[netdrvr sis190] use PCI DMA API for RX buffers
Missing pieces for DMA-API on the Rx side:
- SiS190_init_ring: the global area for the received data is mapped.
This area is persistent during the whole driver's life.
It only needs to be unmapped in SiS190_close() as no other exit/error
path exists.
- SiS190_rx_interrupt: no map/unmap for received data buffer. A single
sync operation is done. Btw, there is no need to store the same value
in RxDescArray[cur_rx].buf_addr over and over again.
- Remove driver dependancy on CONFIG_BROKEN.

It also eliminates a potentially confusing name and corrects an
omission (Zaurus framing wasn't printed).

[PATCH] USB: net2280 fixes: ep halt, sysfs
Small updates:
- don't try chiprev 0100 erratum 0114 workaround on
newer chips; and (mostly) revert it when clearing
endpoint halt feature. (bugfix)
- add missing define for the "force crc error" bit;
I guess those #defines were generated from old chip
specs! potentially useful with test software.
- sysfs register dump includes chiprev and decodes some
of the more interesting endpoint response bits.
- makes a sysfs "gadget" node, representing the gadget
itself. (decided against the class_device or bus_type
approaches, until their value outweighs their costs.)

[PATCH] USB: usbnet, cdc ethernet descriptor parsing fixes
This makes the new CDC Ethernet code handle more devices:
- Uses the active config, not just the default one, if it's
coping "descriptors in wrong place" quirk. (bugfix)
- Uses usb_ifnum_to_if() to get interfaces. (bugfix)
- AMBIT USB cable modems have bogus CDC Union descriptors;
workaround by switching master and slave. (add quirk)
- To make it easier the next time we run into firmware
that violates the class spec, add debug messages saying
exactly why it's giving up on a given CDC device.
Net result, this code now handles at least one more
cable modem design.

[PATCH] USB: ohci -- reset, fault recovery
This fixes two small and unrelated bugs in the current OHCI code:
- Certain initialization sequences had problems with IRQs.
Fixed last month in EHCI, but this ohci patch didn't seem
needed back then. OK, so now I saw the same bug in OHCI.
(I could believe UHCI needs it too, sigh.)
- When restarting endpoint i/o after a queue fault, the HC
needs to be told the control (or bulk) list filled (CLF/BLF).
Likely this wasn't common (usbtest test10 subcase7 fault
recovery reproduced it nicely).
Please merge. Lack of the first one might make trouble for
some people.
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] USB: uhci-hcd, add uhci_reset()
This is a straightforward change matching ones sent in
for ehci (last month) and ohci (earlier this week).
It abstracts the reset operation into something that's
called before the pci glue does much to the hardware.
It also arranges to kick the BIOS off the hardware before
it resets it (not after) ... so there's no confusion at
any time about what driver "owns" that hardware. (Again
matching what ehci and ohci drivers do.)

[PATCH] USB: net2280, patch dma chains
One person working on a mass-storage driver (the usb protocol
side, not the block subsystem side) ran into a bug in how a
bit of net2280 dma automagic was handled.
This patch fixes it by calling existing dma chain patchup
code when the dma engine was forced to "hiccup" by having
a not-yet-valid entry in it. The hiccup is needed in this
case since the IN data stage mustn't terminate with a
short transfer (zero length packet); but the status stage
is always a short packet. The "terminate with short packet"
bit is endpoint state, not request state, so IN dma queues
sometimes need this kind of fixup.

<davej@redhat.com>
[AGPGART] Numerous AMD64 gart driver cleanups.
From Andi Kleen.
- Fix the help text for the 8151 driver
- Fix the dependencies (must be compiled in when the IOMMU is in)
- Add __setup options for when the AGP driver is compiled in:
agp=off agp=try_unsupported
Currently only supported for the K8 driver, the other drivers
would need fixes in their module init functions too.
- Add try_unsupported support for the K8 driver.
- Add some aperture sanity checking to the K8 driver.
There are unfortunately still BIOS around that get it wrong.
- Also try to read the aperture from the AGP bridge if it is bogus
in the Northbridge. Windows only looks into the bridge and some BIOS only
put the aperture there.
[These two changes are only useful for 32bit kernels. The 64bit kernel
checks this in aperture.c anyways, and fixes it. The 32bit kernel
cannot fix a complety broken aperture currently, but at least it will
not crash now]
- Clean up handling for multiple northbridges. The paths are the same
now for as for a single NB.
- Some other minor cleanups.

[sysfs] Fix memory leak.
From Thomas Spatzier. First reported by Martin Schwidefsky.
Entries in the dentry_cache allocated for objects in sysfs are not freed when
the objects in sysfs are deleted. This effect is due to inconsistent reference
counting in sysfs. Furthermore, when calling sysfs_remove_dir the deleted
directory was not removed from its parent's list of children. The attached
patch should fix the problems.

[kobject] Support unlimited name lengths.
Add ->k_name pointer which points to the name for a kobject. By default, this
points to ->name (the static name array).
Users of kobjects may use the helper function kobject_set_name() (and are
encouraged to do so in all cases). This function will determined whether or
not the name is short enough to fit in ->name. If so, great.
Otherwise, a dyanamic string is allocated and the name is stored there.
->k_name will point to that, and will be freed when the kobject is released.
kobject_set_name() may take a format string, like:
kobject_set_name(kobj,"%s%d",base_name,id);
and will behave as expected (will put in ->name, unless it's too long, in
which case a new string will be allocated and it will be stored in there).

It is a lot clearer to invert the logic used in the destroy_socket

- column headers changed to same format as /proc/net/atalk/interface

[DDP]: Fix obsolete comment about module handling.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[DDP]: Fix oops in aecho socket handling.
This fixes the problem caused by interrupting aecho causing an oops.
What happened was that the sock was detached from the user process
but sk->sk_sleep was still so when write data was freed it would
do a wakeup on a poisoned data. The sk_state_change code that was
there isn't necessary, because we are in middle of release so no
user process can be waiting. sock_orphan does the right thing
and sets SOCK_DEAD.
This is similar to what some other protocols do. But some will
have the same sk->sk_sleep problem...
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[ATALK]: Move aarp procfs file into atalk subdirectory.
Move aarp /proc interface like all the others in 2.6;
the other appletalk /proc interfaces were moved to /proc/net/atalk
but aarp was overlooked.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[DDP]: Missing netdev refcounting.
DDP holds a pointer to underlying network device, but doesn't
do the refcount bookeeping that it should.
<shemminger@osdl.org>
[DDP]: Convert to new protocol interface.
Convert ddp to the new protocol interface which means it has to
handle fragmented skb's. The only big change is in the checksum
routine which has to do more work (like skb_checksum).
Minor speedup is folding the carry to avoid a branch.
Tested against a 2.4 system and by running both code over
a range of packets.

[netdrvr 3c509] dev->name removal build fix
<purna@jcom.home.ne.jp>
[netdrvr] fix skb_padto bugs introduced when skb_padto was introduced
It seems that skb_padto security fixes in 2.4 and 2.5 trying
to fix "CAN-2003-0001:Multiple ethernet NID device drivers
do not pad frames with null bytes", do not put the skb_padto
blocks in proper places in the 3c527, eth16i, fmv18x, seeq8005,
yellowfin device drivers.
In case a driver calls skb_padto(), it is possible
that the space available in the original skb buffer tailroom is less
than the space to pad. In this case, in short, the skb_padto()
will create a new skb buffer, copy data from the original
skb buffer to a new skb buffer, free the original buffer,
and finally return the new buffer.
If this happens to the aforementioned device drivers, they come to
point to wrong data. And, for 3c527 and yellowfin, the drivers can
unexpectedly double free the original skb buffers since they still
point to the original skb buffers. The attached patch against
2.4.23pre1 fixes these issues.

[PATCH] Fix module ref counting for md.
We don't need to explicitly count references as:
- refcounting already happens for opens of /dev/md?

[PATCH] Set max_sectors for raid0 only, not for all raid levels.
raid1 and multipath have not concept of a chunksize, so basing

max_sectors doesn't apply.
raid5 does have relevant chunk_size concept, but it has code to
effectively handle any chunksize.
So we only need to set max_sectors based on chunk_size in raid0.

[PATCH] dev_t handling cleanups (6/12)
- hpfs_unlink() should not try to truncate the victim unless it's a

screw the page cache if victim happens to be a block device.
- network filesystems should *not* invalidate page cache of block
device node when inode gets invalidated; fixed, added a new helper -
invalidate_remote_inode().
- nfs setattr syncs the file before sending SETATTR to server; that
makes a lot of sense for regular files, but not for anything else.
Fixed.

[PATCH] dev_t handling cleanups (11/12)
new helper - imajor(inode)

[PATCH] dev_t handling cleanups (12/12)
added the exclusion between ADD_PARTITION/DELETE_PARTITION/open() (BLKPG
ioctls didn't grab ->bd_sem when they should have).
added bdev->bd_part; it is set at open() to point to the hd_struct of
partition in question, reset on final close.
blk_partition_remap() uses ->bd_part instead of the current mess
->bd_offset is gone, we use ->bd_part->start_sect instead
added missing ->release() to hd_struct kobject, moved kfree() into it
->bd_part cotributes to refcount of hd_struct - we bump it when
->bd_part is set and drop when it's reset.

[PATCH] Give v850 its own version of the vmlinux.lds.h RODATA macro
While it would be nice to keep using the generic version of RODATA, the
v850's linker-script structure is sufficiently different from that of
typical archs that it's not possible to use RODATA as it's currently
defined. I earlier suggested splitting the generic definition of RODATA
into `RODATA_CONTENTS' and `RODATA' (a wrapper around RODATA_CONTENTS)
where most archs would use RODATA, and the v850 would use
RODATA_CONTENTS, however Kai didn't like that idea.
It _may_ be possible to rewrite the v850's linker scripts into something
more typical (using lots of individual output sections), but it doesn't
seem at all straightforward, so I don't have the time to do it right
now.
Anyway, this is the short-term work-around so that Linus's kernel works
on the v850.

[PATCH] random: SMP locking
From: Oliver Xymoron <oxymoron@waste.org>
This patch adds locking for SMP. Apparently Willy never managed to
revive his laptop with his version so I revived mine.
The batch pool is copied as a block to avoid long lock hold times
while mixing it into the primary pool.
Two locks are added:
gobal batch_lock
batch_entropy_store can be called from any context, and typically from
interrupts -> spin_lock_irqsave
batch_entropy_process is called called via schedule_delayed_work and
runs in process context -> spin_lock_irq
entropy_store.lock
the mixing process is too expensive to be called from an interrupt
context and the basic worker function extract_entropy can sleep, so
all this stuff can be under a normal spin_lock
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] random: accounting and sleeping fixes
From: Oliver Xymoron <oxymoron@waste.org>
This fixes several calculation errors and races in entropy accounting
that would allow /dev/random output to greatly exceed the measured
entropy collection. This doesn't include any of my more controversial
hardening, it just makes it behave as intended.
It also corrects the operation of the 'catastrophic reseeding' feature
so that it will actually prevent the state extension attack it's meant
to guard against.
And finally, it also fixes a couple missed wake-up and accidental
sleep bugs uncovered by the above fixes.
Debug instrumentation has been improved to help verify correctness.

[PATCH] disable prefetch on athlons
K7's (at least) are faulting in the prefetch instruction. The AMD

So hum. The usual manifestation is an oops in hlist_for_each(), down in
the VFS inode lookup code. Disrupting our testers in this way is very bad,
so this patch just disables prefetch on all AMD parts in a rather stupid
way.

[PATCH] fix /proc/pid/fd ownership across setuid()
From: "B. D. Elliott" <bde@nwlink.com>
There's a bug:
- Someone reads a (say) root-owned process's /proc/pid/fd directory
The inodes are instantiated owned by root.
- That process does a setuid
- The /proc/pid/* files still have the old ownerships.
This happened because we are now caching the proc entries.
The patch rewrites the ownership of the inodes under /proc/pid in the
d_revalidate() handler.

[PATCH] Call security hook from pid*_revalidate
From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>
This patch against 2.6.0-test3-mm3 adds calls to the security_task_to_inode
hook to the pid*_revalidate functions to ensure that the inode security field
is also updated appropriately for /proc/pid inodes. This corresponds with
the uid/gid update performed by the proc-pid-setuid-ownership-fix.patch that
is already in -mm3.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] move DAC960 GAM IOCTLs into a new device
From: Dave Olien <dmo@osdl.org>
The DAC960 driver uses an ugly overloading of the O_NONBLOCK flag to
support the controller's RAID configuration features.
Opening "/dev/rd/c0d0" with the O_NONBLOCK flag set returns a file
descriptor that can be used to do RAID control operations using ioctl().
The normal ioctl operations are not availabe with that file descriptor.
This patch removes that O_NONBLOCK overloading from DAC960_open() and
DAC960_ioctl() functions. It introduces a new "miscellaneous" device
named /dev/dac960_gam. It uses minor device number 252 of the miscellaneous
character devices.
The currently distrubted "Global Array Manager" server distrubted by
LSIlogic on their web page page works only on RH7.3 or earlier. It doesn't
work under RH9. There are probably some library incompatabilities.
So, I don't view this patch as breaking anything that currently works.
If this software package is ever brought up to date (which I doubt),
then it can be modified to use this new device at that time.

[PATCH] Add 3GB personality
From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
Another a bit ugly but necessary patch for 32bit emulation.
Some applications including some versions of java break when the stack is
beyond the i386 standard 3GB boundary. For these add a 3GB personality
that moves the stack to 3GB and fixes the beginning of the mmap area. It's
a bit ugly, but better than not running these applications at all (e.g.
the Oracle installer depends on such a buggy java :-(). It's also not only
Java, but some other programs as well.

[PATCH] zeromap_pmd_range bugfix
From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
The patch below fixes a 2.6 mm problem. Without this patch, zeromapped
pages are not flushed properly when they are swapped out.
What happens is that the page->index field is zero for page table pages
corresponding to the zeromapped range. This causes ptep_to_address() to
return an incorrect virtual address with the result that PTEs are never
invalidated at swap-out...
The fix below mirrors the remap_pmd_range() case.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] don't report async write errors on close() after all
I had second thoughts on this.
Reporting background writeout errors via close() only really makes sense if
allthe IO has completed anyway: ie, the app has had the fd open without
writing to it for many tens of seconds.
It would be OK if it was harmless, but it is not. Changes are, applications
ignore errors from close(). So if an application does a fork/exit and the
child correctly does an fsync() of the fd, the close-on-exit will have wiped
out any accumulated EIO/ENOSPC errors.
Or if someone does dup()/close()/fsync(), the fsync() could fail to detect
earlier errors, thanks to the close.
So. The clear-and-report of errors on close() makes the reporting of errors
on fsync/msync/fdatasync less reliable.

[PATCH] zoran: add release callback
From: Ronald Bultje <rbultje@ronald.bitfreak.net>
This patch adds a release callback which frees the video_device struct.
This is needed to prevent freeing memory before it's not in use anymore,
as described in http://lwn.net/Articles/36850/. Without this, the driver
will give a warning when loaded. It might crash when unloading (see
article), too. The video4linux patch (by Gerd Knorr) was accepted a week

[PATCH] zoran: correct name field breakage
From: Ronald Bultje <rbultje@ronald.bitfreak.net>
I suddenly noticed that 2.6.0-test4 seems to have removed the struct
device->name field, apparently for memory consumption reasons. Linus
changed this to pci_name((zr)->pci_dev) in my driver, and that's almost
correct, except that it is the PCI device ID, and I'm not supposed to
touch it. Also, since it's only 4 bytes, all my device names now show
like 'DC1' (this should be 'DC10plus') and alike.
The attached patch fixes this by going back to the behaviour that we
used in 2.4.x: we use a separate name field in our private driver
struct.

always zero. The appended patch adds fields to struct task_struct to
count context switches, and adds code to do the counting.
The patch adds 4 longs to struct task struct, and a single addition to
the fast path in schedule().

[PATCH] Use tgid rather than pid in dnotify
From: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com>
I'm not entirely sure about this change. But it seems to be necessary.
The dnotify code stores the PID in the file structure. The entire process
shares the file and any signal (is it used for that?) should be sent to the
process (thread group), not the individual thread. Also keep in mind that
threads can go away while the process (and therefore file descriptor)
remain. And the ID of the thread can be reused.
Somebody who knows this code should take a good look.
(Looks right to me...)

[PATCH] make voyager work again after the cpumask_t changes
From: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
Most is just simple fixes; however, the needless change from atomic to

pain to track down since it introduced some very subtle bugs.
I've also taken phys_cpu_present_map out of smp.h. Since it
physid_mask_t is defined in mpspec.h anyway, and contains a duplicate
definition, I don't believe it can hurt anything.

[PATCH] compat ioctl_table fix
The arch ioctl tables are doing this:
struct foo ioctl_start[] = {

struct foo ioctl_end[0];
and fs/compat.c expects that the table lies between &ioctl_end and
&ioctl_start.
Problem is, gcc-3.3 puts ioctl_end into bss, even if it is initialised. It
doesn't work.
So we do away with the ioctl_end thing and add
int ioctl_table_length = ARRAY_SIZE(ioctl_start);
to each architecture.

[PATCH] raw driver oops fix
From: Dave Olien <dmo@osdl.org>
The raw.c character device Oopses dereferencing a NULL pointer in
bd_claim() This problem occurred after bd_claim() in block_dev.c was
modified to "claim the whole device when a partition is claimed".
raw_open() made the mistake of calling bd_claim BEFORE calling blkdev_get().
At that time, the bdev->bd_contains field has not yet been initialized.
Switching the order allows blkdev_get() to initialize those fields before
calling bd_claim().
Also fixed up some error return paths:
igrab() should never fail under these circumstances since the caller
already has a reference to that inode through the bdev at that time.
In the event of blkdev_get() failure or set_blocksize() failure, not all
the work to unwind from the error was done.

[PATCH] ipc_init() uses vmalloc too early
From: Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de>
aka: "vmalloc allocations in ipc needs smp initialized (and vm must be
allowed to schedule in 2.6)"
In short if you change SEMMNI to 8192 the kernel will crash at boot, beause
it tries to call vmalloc before the smp is initialized. The reason is that
vmalloc calls into the pte alloc code, and the fast pte alloc is tried
first, but that reads into the pte_quicklist, that requires the cpu_data to
be initialized (and that happens in smp_init()).
the patch is obviously safe, since no piece of kernel (especially the code
in the check_bugs and smp_init paths ;) calls into the ipc subsystem.
The reason this started to trigger wasn't really that we increased SEMMNI,
but what happend is that some IPC data structure grown, and for some reason
the corruption due the uninitalized pte_quicklist triggers only for smp
boxes with less than 1G (not very common anymore ;). So it wasn't
immediatly reproducible on all setups.
2.6 doesn't suffer from the same problem, simply because 2.6 isn't using
the quicklist anymore, but I think it would be much more correct to make
the same change in 2.6 too, since whatever cond_resched() in the vm paths
(and they're definitely allowed to call it), will lead to a crash since the
init task isn't initialized and the scheduler can't be invoked yet. (and
2.6 already has the bigger data structures that should trigger the vmalloc
all the time on all setups)

[PATCH] vmscan: zone pressure calculation fix
Off-by-one in balance_pgdat(): `priority' can never go negative. It causes
the scanning priority thresholds to be quite wrong and kswapd tends to go
berzerk when there is a lot of mapped memory around.
<akpm@osdl.org>
[PATCH] vmscan: zone pressure simplification and fix
The zone->pressure field is supposed to record the amount of reclaim pressure
which this zone is under. We need this info so we know whether to unmap
pages from pagetables right from the outset of a balance_pgdat() or
try_to_free_pages() invokation.
The problem with the current code is that the exponential average gets tugged
around too much: as we perform the increasing-priority scan, the pressure
metric is made artificially low by the early part of the scan.
So instead what we do here is to record within the zone the scanning priority
from the zone's previous scan. It is defined as the priority at which the
zone achieved the "enough pages free" state. This prev_priority is used on
the next scan for the do-we-need-to-be-unmapping-pages decision.

[PATCH] HPET 1/6: Support for HPET based timer
From: "Pallipadi, Venkatesh" <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com>
High Precision Event Timer (HPET) is next generation timer
hardware and has various advantages over legacy 8254
(PIT) timer, like:
- Associated registers are mapped to memory space. So, we no
longer require in and out on legacy ioports
- Memory map address is reported by ACPI (and are not
hard-coded)
- Each timer can be configured to generate separate interrupts,
even sharing lines with PCI devices
- HPET has a minimum period of 100 nanosecs and is not fixed.
Giving a flexibility of increasing the resolution in future.
- Most current implementations has 3 counters, but in future,
we can have as many as 32 timers per block, and 8
HPET timer blocks (total 256 timers)
- Can support 32bit and 64bit counting
(Refer to http://www.intel.com/labs/platcomp/hpet/hpetspec.htm
for complete specs)
The patchset that follow adds support for High Precision Event
Timer (HPET) based timer in kernel. This uses the HPET in
LegacyReplacement mode (so that counter 0 will be tied to IRQ0,
and counter 1 will be tied to IRQ 8). In this mode, HPET overrides
PIT and RTC interrupt lines. The patch will enable HPET by default,
on systems where ACPI tables reports this feature. The patch will
have no impact on systems that do not support this feature.
A major change from previous version is elimination of fixmap for HPET.
Based on Andrew Morton's suggestion, we have a new hook in init/main.c for
late_time_init(), at which time we can use ioremap, in place of fixmap.
Impact on other archs: Calibrate_delay() (and hence loops_per_jiffy
calculation) has moved down in main.c, from after time_init() to after
kmem_cache_init().
1/6 - hpet1.patch - main.c change to introduce late_time_init()

[PATCH] scsi_unregister() oops fix
Some drivers such as aha1542 and aic7xxx_old will call scsi_register() and
then, if some succeeding operations fails they will call scsi_unregister(),
without an intervening scsi_set_host().
This causes an oops in scsi_put_device(), because kobj->parent is NULL.
In other words, scsi_register() immediately followed by scsi_unregister()
is guaranteed to oops.
The patch makes scsi_host_dev_release() more robust against this usage
pattern.

[PATCH] tty oops fix
Ancient bug, reported by Hiroshi Inoue <inoueh@uranus.dti.ne.jp>:
1. login to tty2 (not tty1)
2. start kon (Kanji cONsole emulator, console which support
Japanese characters)
3. exit kon
4. logout
It oopses in the debugging function check_tty_count(), walking a list_head
which has been list_del()'d. Call trace is:
#0 check_tty_count (tty=0x10d42000, routine=0xc817b00 ".paths") at include/asm/processor.h:583
#1 0x022c6c00 in do_tty_hangup (data=0x10d42000) at drivers/char/tty_io.c:426
#2 0x022c6f60 in tty_vhangup (tty=0xc817b00) at drivers/char/tty_io.c:536
#3 0x022c6fcc in disassociate_ctty (on_exit=1) at drivers/char/tty_io.c:574
#4 0x02127aee in do_exit (code=0) at kernel/exit.c:718
#5 0x02127caa in do_group_exit (exit_code=0) at kernel/exit.c:796
#6 0x02127cbc in sys_exit_group (error_code=0) at kernel/exit.c:807
The tty refcount is zero, so everything seems consistent and sensible. The
fix just uses list_del_init() on that list_head.
Heaven knows what the locking for tty->count is though. Some bizarre mixture
of BKL, tty_sem and nothing at all.

[PATCH] sr.c should issue TEST_UNIT_READY
The linux/drivers/scsi/sr.c code will issue a MODE_SENSE[_10] command to
a device as the first command sent to the device. If the device has
just come out of reset, it will likely respond with a UNIT_ATTENTION /
NOT_READY status, which causes the MODE_SENSE to fail. In fact, the
device may have several UNIT_ATTENTION conditions queued up (power-up
reset, media change, etc.)
This results in the mode page 0x2a data not being properly read and
interpreted. As an end-effect, things like packet-writing don't work
(because the writeable bit is not set).
The solution to this is to issue one or more TEST_UNIT_READY commands to
the device to clear any pending UNIT_ATTENTION conditions. This is the
technique used by sd.c -- in fact, this code was lifted directly from
sd.c
At some point in the future, abstraction of this initial TEST_UNIT_READY
code between all high-level SCSI drivers may be apropriate. For now,
this patch makes sr.c issue TEST_UNIT_READY to clear the UNIT_ATTENTION,
thus allowing the mode page 0x2a code to work properly. Given the
approaching 2.6.0-final release, I urge that this patch be accepted.

Be a lot more careful about TS_USEDFPU and preemption
We had some races where we testecd (or set) TS_USEDFPU together
with sequences that depended on the setting (like clearing or
setting the TS flag in %cr0) and we could be preempted in between,
which screws up the FPU state, since preemption will itself change
USEDFPU and the TS flag.
This makes it a lot more explicit: the "internal" low-level FPU
functions ("__xxxx_fpu()") all require preemption to be disabled,
and the exported "real" functions will make sure that is the case.
One case - in __switch_to() - was switched to the non-preempt-safe
internal version, since the scheduler itself has already disabled
preemption.
