2.6.0-test7 long-format changelogSummary of changes from v2.6.0-test6 to v2.6.0-test7 ============================================ <sri@us.ibm.com> [SCTP] PPC64 port: Don't overload the optval arg of ADDRS_NUM socket options with different types for input and output. Instead use it only as an input arg and return the no. of addresses in the return value. <trini@org.rmk.(none)> [SERIAL] Fix for NS16550A on a Super I/O on PPC On some PowerPC machines with a National Semiconductor Super I/O chip, we have a divisor other than 1.625 Hz. So when detecting a Super I/O, don't change baud_base again. <len.brown@intel.com> sync 2.4.22 changes into 2.6 Note that this restores CONFIG_ACPI_HT_ONLY as a sub-set of CONFIG_ACPI rather than a dependency. <len.brown@intel.com> Handle BIOS with _CRS that fails (Jun Nakajima) <len.brown@intel.com> [ACPI] Handle systems that specify non-ACPI-compliant SCI over-rides (Jun Nakajima) <len.brown@intel.com> Extended IRQ resource type for nForce (Andrew de Quincey) <len.brown@intel.com> IBM ThinkPAD T30/T40 oops (David Shaohua Li) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98849 <len.brown@intel.com> remove ASUS A7V BIOS version 1011 from blacklist (Eric Valette) <len.brown@intel.com> ACPI_CA_VERSION 0x20030916 <sri@us.ibm.com> [SCTP] ADDIP: Support to send ASCONF chunk with ADD/DEL IP params. <sri@us.ibm.com> [SCTP] ADDIP: Handle ERROR chunk in response to an ASCONF chunk. Disable sending any further ASCONF chunks and stop its T-4 timer if the peer responds to an ASCONF with an ERROR chunk. <len.brown@intel.com> [ACPI] avoid alloc_bootmem() for accessing ACPI tables some platforms use ACPI tables to find memory (Jesse Barnes) <len.brown@intel.com> [ACPI] Fix IO-APIC mode SCI interrupt storm on Tyan http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774 <len.brown@intel.com> [ACPI] acpi_disabled is used after __initdata is freed. fixes random battery module loading problem -- SuSE bug #30477 (Andi Kleen) <len.brown@intel.com> [ACPI] fix IO-APIC mode SCI storm due to sharing with PCI device (David Shaohua Li) http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1165 <davej@redhat.com> [CPUFREQ] Typo. <lord@sgi.com> [XFS] Be consistent about when we dump error messages.

Should give better distribution. Mod from Al Viro. SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:158800a <lord@penguin.americas.sgi.com> Remove dead file xfs_attr_fetch.c <lord@sgi.com> [XFS] Remove dead flags SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:158820a <lord@sgi.com> [XFS] remove unused va_fsid field SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:158823a <len.brown@intel.com> [ACPI] remove __initdata from acpi_disabled for module use (Andi Kleen) <lord@jen.americas.sgi.com> [XFS] remove dead function xfs_trans_iput SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:158917a <len.brown@intel.com> [ACPI] For ThinkPad -- carry on in face of ECDT probe failure (Andi Kleen) <amn3s1a@ono.com> [PATCH] USB: New unusual_devs.h entry (Minolta DiMAGE E223 Digital Camera) <lord@jen.americas.sgi.com> [XFS] Fix a broken interaction between a buffered read into an unwritten extent and a direct write SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:159030a <roehrich@sgi.com> [XFS] Make dm_send_data_event use vp rather than bhv SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:158840a <nathans@sgi.com> [XFS] Clean up inode revalidation code slightly SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:159031a <lord@sgi.com> [XFS] Fix build SGI Modid: 2.5.x-xfs:slinx:159047a <lord@sgi.com> [XFS] fix merge error in pagebuf flush logic, bogus spinlock obtain was left in the code.

It is not called, and unused. <mochel@osdl.org> [pci] Really delete drivers/pci/power.c <mochel@osdl.org> [PATCH] Remove ->save_state() in nsp32.c Remove the uncalled and unneeded struct pci_driver::save_state() in drivers/scsi/nsp32.c <mochel@osdl.org> [PATCH] Remove ->save_state() from vlsi_ir.c Remove the unneeded and uncalled struct pci_driver::save_state(). <mochel@osdl.org> [PATCH] Remove ->save_state() in sc1200.c This removes the uncalled and unneeded method struct pci_driver::save_state(). The contents of ->save_state() were folded into ->suspend(), though the semantics don't seem exactly right - the hwifs should not be iterated over there; the driver core should take care of that. But, that code will never get executed as is, since neither function should ever be called with (state == 0). <hch@de.rmk.(none)> [PCMCIA] kill useless CS_RELEASE printing We've forked from pcmcia_cs long time ago so this version number printing is pretty useless. IMHO all printks should go away completly but I'll rather leave that to the individual maintainers.. <daniel.ritz@ch.rmk.(none)> [PCMCIA] Add missing ZV parts the following patch adds the parts missing in 2.6 for ZV support (from 2.4) against 2.6.0-t5-bk. <rwhron@net.rmk.(none)> [PCMCIA] remove unneeded includes Patch via Randy Dunlap version.h cleanup of drivers/pcmcia test compiled on 2.6.0-test5-bk3. <davej@redhat.com> [CPUFREQ] Merge AMD Opteron/Athlon64 powernow driver. <davej@redhat.com> [CPUFREQ] update supported CPUs list in Documentation. <eike-kernel@sf-tec.de> [PATCH] shut up gcc 3.3 for scripts/pnmtologo.c This patch makes some ints to unsigned ints. They are only used as loop counters and compared to unsigned ints. GCC 3.3 doesn't like this. They will never be negative anyway, so we could easily shut him up. <sam@mars.ravnborg.org> kbuild: Remove all cscope files during mrproper From: GOTO Masanori <gotom@debian.or.jp> cscope generaltes various files, with different extension. Make sure to delete all cscope files during mrproper <rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk> [PCMCIA] Socket quiescing changes This patch changes the way in which we turn off power to PCMCIA sockets. We have traditionally relied on the socket drivers "init" method to shut down the power to the socket by calling its own "set_socket" function. Rather than relying on all socket drivers replicating this behaviour, we move this into the core by calling the "set_socket" method explicitly after we clear out the socket state structure. <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/core/dev.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/core/sock.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <jgarzik@redhat.com> [MCA] include linux/mca-legacy.h directly, to access deprecated MCA API <jgarzik@redhat.com> [MCA] convert mca-proc to use not-deprecated functions <jgarzik@redhat.com> [MCA] don't include linux/mca-legacy.h from linux/mca.h. As the functions and definitions in linux/mca-legacy.h are deprecated, require that users explicitly include linux/mca-legacy.h as needed. Prior to this change, _all_ users of linux/mca.h (i.e. proper users) issued a warning at compile time, when the MCA legacy API was enabled. Now only actual users of the legacy API cause warnings, not all MCA drivers. <jgarzik@redhat.com> [wireless arlan] fix modular build 'probe' module parameter is only used when arlan is built as a module. <jgarzik@redhat.com> Misc warning fixes: * block/cciss: eliminate "comparison always false" warning * char/agp/amd64-agp: properly suffix 64-bit constants * ide/legacy/pdc4030: fix incomplete conversion to new IDE module API <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/core/neighbour.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <jgarzik@redhat.com> [janitor] Replace bcopy() uses with memcpy(), where possible. Affects: JFS, scsi/{sym,sym2}, arch/ia64/sn/io/sn2/{module,pic}.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/af_inet.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <jgarzik@redhat.com> [BK] "bk ignore" aic7xxx auto-generated files <davej@redhat.com> [CPUFREQ] powernow-k8 compile fix <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> [PATCH] Fix debug statement after return in drivers/net/wireless/arlan-main.c This patch applies to 2.5.68 and is listed on kbugs.org. The debug statement is never executed because it is after a return. <shemminger@osdl.org> [PATCH] Fix warnings in hamradio/baycom build Sorry, overlooked the corresponding .h file in that patch, here it is. <mzyngier@freesurf.fr> [PATCH] ne3210 update The enclosed patch ports the ne3210 driver over the EISA probing API. It also fixes some ioremap/isa_memcopy_fromio problems (depending on where the card memory was mapped) by using ioremap unconditionally and letting memcopy_fromio do the right thing. Finally, it removes the card from Space.c (warning, potential interface renumbering !). The module options are currently disabled, until Rusty's module_param_array() patch is included. I will re-introduce them ASAP. Quite heavily tested on x86. <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/tcp.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/core/skbuff.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/socket.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/netlink/af_netlink.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/core/netfilter.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/udp.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/tcp_output.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/core/rtnetlink.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/sched/sch_generic.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/sched/police.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/devinet.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/core/ethtool.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/tcp_minisocks.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/tcp_input.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/tcp_timer.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c Also move the EXPORT_SYMBOL(tcp_statistics) to net/ipv4/tcp.c, so that finally the tcp.h header can be removed from net/netsyms.c, ctags doesn't catches the variables defined with DEFINE_SNMP_STAT :-\ <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/ip_output.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/arp.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/core/wireless.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/core/datagram.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/sched/sch_api.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/core/scm.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/core/iovec.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/core/utils.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/core/dst.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/core/dev_mcast.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/core/flow.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/core/filter.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/core/dv.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/core/link_watch.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c Also fix a typo. <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/route.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/igmp.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/icmp.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/fib_frontend.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/protocol.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/ip_options.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/tcp_output.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/ip_fragment.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/inetpeer.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c And some leftovers from previous changesets also moved to net/core/dev.c and net/sched/sch_api.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/ipv4/{ip_input,sysctl_net_ipv4}.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c And also a leftover to net/ipv4/af_inet.c <acme@conectiva.com.br> o NET: move net/802/*.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs from net/netsyms.c Also add #include <linux/netdevice.h> to include/net/pkt_sched.h, as it uses functions defined on this include (netif_queue_stopped, etc).

The sk_buff needs to be big enough to hold the worst case packet since the size cannot be known in advance. This would not be so bad if the ATM layer paid attention to the mtu (usually 1500 bytes), but for some reason it blithely ignores it and typically passes 9188 bytes as the maximum size. This means that at best 5/6 of the space in every sk_buff is wasted. So instead let's just allocate an assembly buffer (sarb) which gets reused for every packet, and copy each assembled packet into a minimally sized sk_buff before sending. <baldrick@free.fr> [PATCH] USB speedtouch: neater check This change was applied to 2.4, but not to 2.5. <len.brown@intel.com> [ACPI] build fix: remove 2nd __exit from asus_acpi.c <len.brown@intel.com> [ACPI] deal with lack of acpi prt entries gracefully (Jesse Barnes) <willy@debian.org> [PATCH] Remove ELF_CORE_SYNC ELF_CORE_SYNC and dump_smp_unlazy_fpu seem to have been introduced by Ingo around 2.5.43, but as far as I can tell, never used. <willy@debian.org> [PATCH] PA-RISC updates PA-RISC updates for 2.6.0-test6 - Some more support for 64-bit userspace - Move many EXPORT_SYMBOLs out of parisc_ksyms.c - Make both the OSS and ALSA harmony drivers build - ioctl typechecking - Make math-emu build without warnings. - Persuade SuckyIO to not crash the machine. <akpm@osdl.org> [NET]: Fix xfrm_algo.c module exports. <drepper@redhat.com> [NET]: Use task->tgid instead of task->pid in SCM credentials code. <petri.koistinen@iki.fi> [NET]: Modernize network device help text. <shemminger@osdl.org> [IRDA]: Get rid of destructor for irda devices. <shemminger@osdl.org> [IRDA]: Add alloc_irdadev() interface. <shemminger@osdl.org> [IRDA]: Convert irport to alloc_irdadev(). <shemminger@osdl.org> [IRDA]: Convert ali-ircc to alloc_irdadev(). <shemminger@osdl.org> [IRDA]: Convert donauboe to alloc_irdadev(). <shemminger@osdl.org> [IRDA]: Convert nsc-ircc to alloc_irdadev(). <shemminger@osdl.org> [IRDA]: Convert w83977af_ir to alloc_irdadev(). <shemminger@osdl.org> [IRDA]: Convert sir to alloc_irdadev(). <shemminger@osdl.org> [IRDA]: Convert via-ircc to alloc_irdadev(). <shemminger@osdl.org> [IRDA]: Use unregister_netdev instead of explicit reference to rtnl_lock. <shemminger@osdl.org> [IRDA]: Use register_netdev instead of explicit reference to rtnl_lock. <shemminger@osdl.org> [IRDA]: In smsc-ircc2 use request_region instead of check_region. <shemminger@osdl.org> [IRDA]: In smsc-ircc2 use request_region earlier in the setup process. <shemminger@osdl.org> [IRDA]: In smsc-ircc2, fix whitespace and indentation. <shemminger@osdl.org> [IRDA]: Convert smsc-ircc2 to alloc_irdadev(). <shemminger@osdl.org> [IRDA]: Convert irda-usb to alloc_irdadev(). <bjorn.helgaas@com.rmk.(none)> [SERIAL] 2.6 ACPI serial discovery Patch from: Bjorn Helgaas This patch tweaks the 8250 ACPI namespace discovery to 1) add support for UARTs in IO port space 2) add support for non-extended IRQs 3) use acpi_walk_resources() to simplify processing the _CRS data, and 4) add error checking (ioremap failure, lack of MMIO address in _CRS). 5) uses KERN_ERR, KERN_WARNING, etc 6) complains if register_serial() fails (i.e., if UART_NR is too small) This is one step towards eliminating blind probing for devices on ia64.

Because of that added functionality, it needs more than what is available in the LSM framework (which can only allow/deny permissions, not alter return values). The source code has been running stable for the last few years and is in use at quite a few service providers. The Fedora project also wants to use vserver for their build system. However, vserver for 2.4 just tacks their syscalls onto the end of the syscall table and the userland tools find those "dynamic numbers" somehow ... EWWWW. For 2.6 I'd like to do things right. At the moment the vserver patch has sys_new_s_context and sys_set_ipv4root calls, but since we'll probably end up getting an ipv6 call too and people are planning future functionality, I guess it would be more appropriate to multiplex these through one sys_vserver patch, in the same way sys_ipc works. For your reference, you can find more information about vserver on these pages: http://www.13thfloor.at/VServer/ http://www.solucorp.qc.ca/miscprj/s_context.hc I estimate the project has about a dozen developers now. We are planning on making the implementation for 2.6 fairly lightweight, reusing infrastructure from other code where possible and only doing things through sys_vserver where there is no other way. This small change just adds sys_vserver to the syscall table. <joern@wohnheim.fh-wedel.de> [PATCH] Fix wrong CONFIG_* in comment Our tools are somewhat too stupid.

Al truncated my 64-bit stuff to 32 bits but did not understand why there was this split, and wrote 0 followed by a single word. We should at least zero the word following to have well-defined storage later. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] x86 mman.h fix Remove duplicated #defines <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] memory writeback/invalidation fixes From: "David S. Miller" <davem@redhat.com> This attempts to take care of 2 of the MM todos I had on my backlog: 1) Zap the stupid flush_cache_all() thing with more meaningful interfaces. 2) Resolve the ptrace user page access issues, first stage. The "first stage" mentioned for #2 is simply creating the user page accesor interfaces. The next stage needs to be mucking with get_user_pages() so that we can control when the flush_dcache_page() occurs. Then we: 1) For every platform where flush_dcache_page() is a non-nop add a call to the beginning of copy_{from,to}_user_page(). 2) Make access_process_vm() set the "no dcache flush" bit in it's call to get_user_pages(). The idea also was that we'd consolidate the write etc. boolean args passed to get_user_pages() into flag bits too. But at least with the below, we can delete that reminder FIXME comment from kernel/ptrace.c, the platforms have the necessary tools and just need to make use of it :) As a bonus I noticed that VMALLOC_VMADDR() did absolutely nothing. After all of this I only have 1 real TODO left, and that's dealing with the SMP TLB/pte invalidation stuff, very low priority until someone starts doing more work with sparc32/SMP in 2.6.x :) <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] table-driven filesystems option parsing From: "Randy.Dunlap" <rddunlap@osdl.org>, Will Dyson <will_dyson@pobox.com>, me Add generic filesystem options parser (infrastructure) and use it to parse mount options in several filesystems (adfs, affs, autofs, autofs4, ext2, ext3, fat, hfs, hpfs, isofs, jfs, procfs, udf, and ufs). It saves between 128 and 512 bytes per filesystem. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] module parameter array fixes From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Found this while converting netfilter modules to use the new parameters. Also fixes an out-by-one error in maximum elements you can put in array. The current "intarray" module params were never tested, and um, suck. Only one person uses them, and it looks painful. Since noone uses them, replace them with tested versions. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] check permission in ->open for /proc/sys/ From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> It's the only abuse of proc_iops left (except the totally b0rked comx driver). The patch is from Al, I just forward-ported it from 2.4. Background: struct proc_dir_entry has a struct inode_operations *proc_iops member, it's from Linux's stoneage and used internally by procfs to assign either the link or directory inode ops. Unfortunately some drivers started to abuse it do do bad things like create on lookup (that's the comx thingy which relies on unexported symbols and thus is broken for modular builds since mid-2.3) or various ->permission tricks (all gone by now). After this patch is gone I have another one that kills proc_iops and just uses a normal conditional inside procfs to assign the right one directly. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] fix memleak in mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c From: Felipe W Damasio <felipewd@terra.com.br> If other kmallocs failed after successfully allocating a "struct mtd_info", it should be freed before returning NULL. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] Fix bug in SELinux convert_context From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil> This patch fixes a bug introduced by earlier code cleanups in the SELinux convert_context code that manifests upon a policy reload that removes previously valid security attributes. Thanks to Magosanyi Arpad for reporting the bug. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] Pass nameidata to security_inode_permission hook From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil> This patch changes the security_inode_permission hook to also take a nameidata parameter in addition to the existing inode and mask parameters. A nameidata is already passed (although sometimes NULL) to fs/namei.c:permission(), and the patch changes exec_permission_lite() to also take a nameidata parameter so that it can pass it along to the security hook. The patch includes corresponding changes to the SELinux module to use the nameidata information when it is available; this allows SELinux to include pathname information in audit messages when a nameidata structure was supplied. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] scripts/pnmtologo.c warning fixes From: Rolf Eike Beer <eike-kernel@sf-tec.de> this patch makes some ints to unsigned ints. They are only used as loop counters and compared to unsigned ints. GCC 3.3 doesn't like this. They will never be negative anyway, so we could easily shut him up. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] befs: fix resource leak on register_filesystem failure From: Will Dyson <will_dyson@pobox.com> Remember to free the inode cache if register_filesystem() fails. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] misc fixes - mpparse printk should be in hex (john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com>) - fiddle with RCU copyright messages (Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com>) - use print_dev_t() for sysfs dev file in videodev.c (Gerd Knorr <kraxel@bytesex.org>) - comx-hw-munich.c 64-bit warning fix (Vinay K Nallamothu <vinay.nallamothu@gsecone.com>) - random.c return val fix <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] /proc/PID/auxv file and NT_AUXV core note From: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> gdb really needs some way to know the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR value for a process being debugged or for the dead process described by a core file. Without this value, it can't find the information necessary to show backtraces of threads waiting in system calls. There are any number of ways this information could be made available. Here is one solution that provides more debugging information in a clean and general fashion. I've added access to the AT_* values passed to a process for third parties to examine for debugging purposes. The same data passed on the stack at startup is made available in /proc/PID/auxv and is written in an NT_AUXV note in core dumps. (Both of these are consistent with what Solaris does using the same names.) Here are two different patches that implement the same thing differently. The first patch uses a ref-counted data structure to copy the aux vector and shares among forked mm's until they exec and get a new one. The second patch avoids the complexity of that data structure by simply expanding the mm_struct with space to hold a copy of the data. Both patches work correctly; I have examined the new /proc/PID/auxv file and core dumps. I hope you will consider including one of these patches, or at least some way of getting at this information from the debugger. I am certainly open to other suggestions on implementing this feature, and to suggestions on alternative interfaces for getting the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR value cleanly. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] update Documentation/iostats.txt From: Rick Lindsley <ricklind@us.ibm.com> One typo corrected, and the references to 2.5 are minimized and mostly changed to 2.6. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] Fix compile warning in g_NCR5380 From: Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl `generic_NCR5380_biosparam' declared `static' but never defined <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] Fix allyesconfig for HugeTLB-less archs From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Make that allyesconfig works on architectures that don't support HugeTLBs. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] ioctl32 fix to SG_IO From: Arun Sharma <arun.sharma@intel.com> A minor bug fix to the ioctl32 code handling SG_IO. sgio->dxferp is not initialzed properly. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] Update James Morris's email address From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] update unistd.h for sys_vserver <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] Disable floppy and the related ioctl32s on some platforms From: Arun Sharma <arun.sharma@intel.com> Based on some earlier discussion: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=106015010700002&r=1&w=2 here's a new patch that attempts to disable BLK_DEV_FD on platforms which don't support it.

If it finds an existing one, it free's the extra one it just allocated. Especially with /proc usage it usually _does_ find an existing superblock, so this is all extra work. It should allocate a new one only if it couldn't find an old one (and re-search). The same way as iget() does it. <piggin@cyberone.com.au> [PATCH] remove io context refcounting debug This removes the remains of some debugging stuff which was never really enabled properly - it never reported memory leaks.

If a NAT rule was matched, num_manips can still be 0. However, some helpers (like PPTP) need to _always mangle the packets, even if there is no NAT mapping for a particular connection. On the other hand, as soon as CONFIG_IP_NF_LOCAL_NAT was disabled, we did end up half-mangling local (non-NAT'ed) connections. This patch removes the LOCAL_OUT hook from the NAT core unless CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT_LOCAL is enabled. <mirage@kaotik.org> [NETFILTER]: Add support for mIRC's 'server lookup' DCC address detection to ip_conntrack_irc.c <kadlec@blackhole.kfki.hu> [NETFILTER]: Make conntrack timeouts become sysctls. This patch introduces the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ directory for=20 the tuneable parameters of the conntrack engine of netfilter. The parameters which can currently be fine-tuned (if required at all)=20 are the ip_conntrack_max, and the conntrack timeout parameters in seconds. The default timeout value for the TCP CLOSE_WAIT state is raised to 3 days, which should cause less problems with long-lived half-closed TCP sessions. For the sake of compatibility with 2.4,=20 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_max is duplicated as=20 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max as well. <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> [NETFILTER]: LOCAL_OUT NAT fix, part 2.

Core dumps don't include the full page of the vsyscall DSO, and so don't accurately represent the whole memory image of the process. This patch fixes it. I have tested it on x86, but not tested the same change to 32-bit core dumps on AMD64 (haven't even compiled on AMD64). I've also included the corresponding change for the IA64 code that was copied blindly from the x86 vsyscall implementation, which looks like more change than it is since I preserved the formatting of the copied code instead of arbitrarily diddling it along with the trivial symbol name changes. I haven't compiled or tested on ia64. <B.Zolnierkiewicz@elka.pw.edu.pl> [PATCH] small cleanup for VIA IDE driver ide_pci_setup_ports() from setup-pci.c checks if port is disabled, if so d->init_setup_dma() and d->init_hwif() won't be called.

We end up supporting up to 1024 memory zones on ia64, which is a recent requirement. Has been tested on ia32, ia64 (UMA), ppa64 (UMA) and NUMAQ. Make sure MAX_NUMNODES is defined in one and only one place. Remove superfluous definitions. Instead of defining MAX_NUMNODES in asm/numnodes.h, we define NODES_SHIFT there. Then in linux/mmzone.h we turn that NODES_SHIFT value into MAX_NUMNODES. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] Clean up MAX_NR_NODES/NUMNODES/etc. [2/5] From: Matthew Dobson <colpatch@us.ibm.com> Remove MAX_NR_NODES. This value is only used in a couple of places, and it's incorrectly used in all those places as far as I can tell. Replace with MAX_NUMNODES. Create MAX_NODES_SHIFT and use this value to check NODES_SHIFT is appropriate. A possible future patch should make MAX_NODES_SHIFT vary based on 32 vs. 64 bit archs. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] Clean up MAX_NR_NODES/NUMNODES/etc. [3/5] From: Matthew Dobson <colpatch@us.ibm.com> Fix up the sh arch. sh defined NR_NODES, change sh to use standard MAX_NUMNODES instead. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] Clean up MAX_NR_NODES/NUMNODES/etc. [4/5] From: Matthew Dobson <colpatch@us.ibm.com> Fix up the arm arch. This needs to be reviewed. Relatively straightforward replacement of NR_NODES with standard MAX_NUMNODES. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] Clean up MAX_NR_NODES/NUMNODES/etc. [5/5] From: Matthew Dobson <colpatch@us.ibm.com> Fix up the ia64 arch. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] node enumeration fixes From: Matthew Dobson <colpatch@us.ibm.com> Here's a small update to the numnodes fix that went into -mm3. The biggest changes are: 1) move the actual NODES_SHIFT and MAX_NUMNODES definitions into linux/numa.h and include this in linux/mmzone.h, instead of being directly in linux/mmzone.h. This allows other files to include *just* the NUMNODES stuff w/out grabbing all of mmzone.h. 2) pull NODE_SHIFT out of linux/mm.h. This isn't used anywhere in the kernel, and it will only get confused with NODES_SHIFT. 3) Fix the IA64 patch. The original patch I had sent out hadn't been tested on IA64. It was mostly right, but there were circular dependencies. All better now, and acked by Jesse. 4) In linux/mmzone.h, insert code to define MAX_NODES_SHIFT based on the size of unsigned long. For 64-bit arches, we can have a much larger value. This allows IA64 to have 100's or 1000's of nodes. MAX_NODES_SHIFT is defined as 10 (ie: 1024 nodes) for 64-bit for now, although it could likely be much larger. For 32-bit it is 6 (ie: 64 nodes). 5) Small cleanup in include/asm-arm/memory.h. Mostly the result of the new linux/numa.h file. Much cleaner and more readable now. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] compat ioctl consolidation From: Arun Sharma <arun.sharma@intel.com>, kevin.tian@intel.com Move a whole bunch of filesystem ioctl conversion functions out of per-arch files and into fs/compat_ioctl.c It moves linux32_dirent to compat.h and renames it as compat_dirent. linux32_dirent has been eliminated from ia64. Other archs should do the same. We'll leave old_linux_dirent32 as is, since it seems to be arch specific (ia64 doesn't use it for example). <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] document the macro for translating PROT_ to VM_ bits From: Muli Ben-Yehuda <mulix@mulix.org> Shed some much-needed light. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] /proc/sys/auxv From: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> This was supposed to be part of the recent mm_struct.saved_auxv[] patch. The /proc addition is half the reason for the patch, and the more important one (letting you debug live processes, while NT_AUXV in core dumps lets you debug dead ones). The patch below was supposed to be part of the original. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] kernel documentation fixes From: Michael Still <mikal@stillhq.com> The patch squelches build errors in the kernel-doc make targets by adding documentation to arguements previously not documented, and updating the argument names where they have changed. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] EISA_bus cleanup From: Marc Zyngier <mzyngier@freesurf.fr>, Christoph Hellwig I'd like to kill willy's CONFIG_EISA_ALWAYS kludge. So make EISA_bus a variable always when CONFIG_EISA is set and initialize it to 1 for alpha. We probably want to do that only if the system actually supports eisa, but I keep the old behaviour for now. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] ext3 block allocator locking fix When the BKL was removed from ext3 we lost locking coverage for get_block()-versus-get_block(). Nobody seems to have hit the race because get_block() almost always runs under i_sem: only memory pressure-based writeout over a file hole runs outside i_sem. ext2 uses the dedicated i_meta_lock spinlock in the inode to provide the needed locking. But ext3 already has an rwsem around all the get_block() activity to protect it from truncate-related races. So this patch just converts that rwsem into a semaphore, so concurrent get_block() can never occur. This will be more efficient than adding the new spinlock. We lose the ability to have two threads run get_block() against the same file at the same time but again, that only happens during pageout over a hole anyway. (Kudos Alex Tomas for noticing the bug) <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] dscc4 driver fixes From: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> - dscc4_release_ring() must not appear in dscc4_{open/close} as the rings are allocated/freed in dscc4_{found1/free1}; - more elegant handling of return status in dscc4_found1(). <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] cpufreq sysfs oops fix From: Dominik Brodowski <linux@brodo.de> Fix an ordering problem whcih was causing cpufreq oopses in sysfs. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] move job control fields from task_struct to From: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> This patch completes what was started with the `process_group' accessor function, moving all the job control-related fields from task_struct into signal_struct and using process_foo accessor functions to read them. All these things are per-process in POSIX, none per-thread. Off hand it's hard to come up with the hairy MT scenarios in which the existing code would do insane things, but trust me, they're there. At any rate, all the uses being done via inline accessor functions now has got to be all good. I did a "make allyesconfig" build and caught the few random drivers and whatnot that referred to these fields. I was surprised to find how few references to ->tty there really were to fix up. I'm sure there will be a few more fixups needed in non-x86 code. The only actual testing of a running kernel with these patches I've done is on my normal minimal x86 config. Everything works fine as it did before as far as I can tell. One issue that may be of concern is the lack of any locking on multiple threads diddling these fields. I don't think it really matters, though there might be some obscure races that could produce inconsistent job control results. Nothing shattering, I'm sure; probably only something like a multi-threaded program calling setsid while its other threads do tty i/o, which never happens in reality. This is the same situation we get by using ->group_leader->foo without other synchronization, which seemed to be the trend and noone was worried about it. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] fix "compat ioctl consolidation" for "move job A little fix which is needed if both the "compat ioctl consolidation" and "move job control fields from task_struct to signal_struct" patches are applied. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] fix pte_chain leak in do_no_page() From: "V.

In theory we should be able to discover all UARTs on ia64 via ACPI and PCI enumeration, so we shouldn't need SERIAL_PORT_DFNS. But SERIAL_PORT_DFNS currently does two things: 1) it tells you about legacy devices you can't discover via a standard enumeration method, and 2) it sizes old_serial_port[], which determines UART_NR, which is the maximum number of ports the driver will support So here's a proposal to make SERIAL_PORT_DFNS optional and provide another mechanism for configuring the number of ports to support. <torvalds@home.osdl.org> Fix PCMCIA cut-and-paste cs.c bug introduced by the recent update.

Convert them into structures <acme@conectiva.com.br> o kernel/ksyms.c: move remaining fs/*.c EXPORT_SYMBOLs <acme@conectiva.com.br> o kernel/ksyms.c: move remaining EXPORT_SYMBOLs, remove this file from the tree <davem@nuts.ninka.net> [SPARC64]: Export csum_partial(). <davem@nuts.ninka.net> [SUNRPC]: Printf pointers correctly. <davem@nuts.ninka.net> [NFS]: Fix printf format warnings in fs/nfs/nfs4xdr.c. <davem@nuts.ninka.net> [USB]: Fix encapsulation of int inside of pointer in code/file.c <miles@lsi.nec.co.jp> [PATCH] Triple the memory size used on the v850 gdb simulator <miles@lsi.nec.co.jp> [PATCH] Add sched_clock on v850 This is a horrid implementation, but whatever. <miles@lsi.nec.co.jp> [PATCH] Remove some old debugging stuff on the v850 <miles@lsi.nec.co.jp> [PATCH] Update v850 Kconfig debugging menu <miles@lsi.nec.co.jp> [PATCH] Move `ptrinfo' function from mm/slab.c to mm/memory.c This function doesn't compile on non-MMU systems, so put it in a place where it won't cause problems (mm/memory.c is only compiled if CONFIG_MMU is defined). <miles@lsi.nec.co.jp> [PATCH] Changes to v850 platform linker-script fragments This does two things: (1) Move the v850 platform-specific linker-script fragments into arch/v850/kernel, from arch/v850. This move was prompted by a recent (all-architecture) move for vmlinux.lds.S, to keep the script together, but I think it also makes sense -- this way, all platform-specific non-header files are in the same directory with similar names. (2) Remove some hardwired constants in the linker script fragments, using already defined cpp macros anyway. This eliminates one annoying source of duplicate definitions (which had to be kept in sync). <davem@nuts.ninka.net> [UDP/TCP]: Fix binding conflict tests wrt. SO_BINDTODEVICE. <willy@debian.org> [PATCH] unify drivers/Kconfig It's a pain for architecture maintainers to keep the toplevel Kconfig files in sync. This addresses part of the problem by moving all the standard driver includes to drivers/Kconfig. As a bonus, it moves all the device drivers together in a menu which tames menuconfig somewhat. This patch only touches i386. Other architectures can join the party as soon as they feel ready to inflict all the choices on their userbase. <bdschuym@pandora.be> [BRIDGE]: Let {ip,arp}tables see bridged VLAN packets. <ak@muc.de> [NET]: Fix obvious 64bit bug/warning in farsync.c <shemminger@osdl.org> [NET]: Convert dvb-net to use alloc_netdev(). <hunold@convergence.de> [PATCH] firmware update for av7110 dvb driver - av7110 DVB driver firmware update. don't worry: we're planning to switch to firmware_class soon... <hunold@linuxtv.org> [PATCH] add new DVB-T frontend driver - add new DVB-T frontend driver sp887x.c <hunold@linuxtv.org> [PATCH] video capture updates for saa7146 core - some Kconfig simplifications - FIELD_ALTERNATE capture was broken, add a "wait for vbi" command before actually waiting for the field change - improvements regarding streaming capture to gfx card memory. - captured frames could only be page aligned. fixed. - fix pgtable_build_single, it should work for all kinds of buffers now (system memory (kernel/user) and gfx-memory) - Fix bytesperline-calculation for V4L2_FIELD_ALTERNATE vs. V4L2_FIELD_INTERLACED capture <hunold@linuxtv.org> [PATCH] multiple device *read* opens support - allow multiple read device opens <hunold@linuxtv.org> [PATCH] update copyright and licensing - fix copyright stuff in various files: - remove e-mail addresses that don't exist anymore, but of course keep the names - change license from GPL to LGPL in dvb_i2c.h (Convergence code) - change license from GPL to LGPL in dvb_ringbuffer.h (ack by original author Oliver Endriss) - add LGPL license to dvb_functions <hunold@linuxtv.org> [PATCH] usual c99 initializer fixes - the usual c99 initialization fixes all over the DVB place <hunold@linuxtv.org> [PATCH] various patches for non-av7110 dvb-drivers - patch by Jon Burgess to fix DMA issues - reduce the number of dropped TS packets when an error is detected (Jon Burgess) - use budget-ci driver for new TT DVB-T cards with onboard MSP430. <hunold@linuxtv.org> [PATCH] various av7110 dvb-driver updates - various av7110 updates <hunold@linuxtv.org> [PATCH] update dvb frontend drivers - add budget driver as possible client of the ves1820 frontend driver - fix wrong include in sp887x.c frontend driver - fix wrong chip description in tda1004xh frontend driver - fixed detection of stv0299 if chip is in standby mode - change some #ifdef to #if, for easier debug enable/disable - ves1820: patch by Peter Bieringer: nicer log output - ves1820: allow PWM (tuner calibaration) value from EEPROM to be overridden on command line (based on patch by Peter Bieringer). New module paramters: "pwm" (max 4 ints, range -1..0xff) and "verbose" (to print AFC value aftger tuning). <hunold@linuxtv.org> [PATCH] Kconfig and Makefile updates, inspired by Adrian Bunk and Roman Zippel - split up saa7146 compilation in core part (saa7146.o) and video+vbi part (saa7146_vv). some drivers need both (av7110.c), some drivers only need the core stuff (budget*.c) - add entry for sp887x DVB-T modulator to corresponding Kconfig - use new SELECT facility of Kconfig, first mentioned by Adrian Bunk and Roman Zippel in DVB subsystem - use SELECT in media/video/Kconfig, too. <hunold@linuxtv.org> [PATCH] some more av7110 dvb-driver updates - some progress on DVB-C analog module: experimentally fix frequency offset, initialize msp3400 for analog TV sound - Reduce the number of dropped TS packets when an error is detected (Jon Burgess) - If somebody calls G_TUNER for a DVB-C card w/ analog module, then check for the selected tuner, not if the currently selected channel has a tuner. - play_iframe may be used to play stillpicture frames, that can either by complete i-frames or partial p-frames. In any case, the av7110 needs about 400kB of video data, before the internal video decoder starts displaying anything. for stillframes, this is bad, so we *always* loop writing the frame until the magic amount is reached. stupid, but works... - applied 64bit fixes by Pedro Miguel Teixeira <pmsjt@warner.homeip.net <hunold@linuxtv.org> [PATCH] fix v4l1 backward compatibility in saa7146 driver - fix VIDIOC_S_FBUF for v4l1 backward compatility with xfree86 / v4l_drv <hunold@convergence.de> [PATCH] firmware blob for new DVB-T frontend driver <ja@ssi.bg> [IPVS]: Avoid returning NF_DROP from the packet schedulers. <torvalds@home.osdl.org> Revert the move of ptrinfo - it may make NOMMU compile, but it breaks everybody else. Instead, fix the NOMMU case by avoiding the part that walks page tables. <tommy.christensen@tpack.net> [VLAN]: Do not modify the data of shared SKBs. <chas@cmf.nrl.navy.mil> [ATM]: Eliminate atm_find_ci(). <chas@cmf.nrl.navy.mil> [ATM]: Convert VCC list to hash. <ak@suse.de> [NET]: Fix 64-bit bugs in dscc4.c <davem@nuts.ninka.net> [UDP]: Fix typo in SO_BINDTODEVICE changes. <shemminger@osdl.org> [PATCH] monotonic seqlock for cyclone timer Replace read/write lock used for cyclone timer monotonic_lock with seqlock. Similar to locking used on xtime and monotonic_lock in timers/timer_tsc.c <shemminger@osdl.org> [PATCH] monotonic seqlock for HPET timer Replace read/write lock used for HPET timer monotonic_lock with seqlock.
