2.6.4-rc2 long-format changelog

Summary of changes from v2.6.4-rc1 to v2.6.4-rc2
============================================

<rddunlap@osdl.org>
	[PATCH] sys_device_[un]register() are not syscalls
	
	sys_xyz() names in Linux are all syscalls... except for
	sys_device_register() and sys_device_unregister().
	
	This patch renames them so that the sys_ namespace is once
	again used only by syscalls.

<shemminger@osdl.org>
	[PATCH] propogate errors from misc_register to caller
	
	The patch to check for / in class_device is not enough.
	The misc_register function needs to check return value of the things it calls!

<rmk-pci@arm.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] PCI: Report meaningful error for failed resource allocation
	
	pci_assign_resource reports odd messages when resource allocation fails.
	This is because res->end and res->start are modified by allocate_resource.
	For example:
	
	PCI: Failed to allocate resource 1(0-ffffffff) for 0000:00:01.0
	
	The following patch reports whether it's an IO or memory resource, and
	includes the correct size.  For consistency, we report it in a similar
	way to the failure message in pci_request_region(), even though
	res->start is unlikely to be useful.

<rmk-pci@arm.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] PCI: Don't report pci_request_regions() failure twice
	
	pci_request_regions() reports an error when pci_request_region() fails.
	However, since pci_request_region() already reports an error on failure,
	pci_request_regions() has some unwanted duplication.

<rmk-pci@arm.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] PCI: Introduce bus->bridge_ctl member
	
	GregKH mentioned confirmed that people have been waiting for this patch.
	Appologies, it had completely evaporated from my mind.
	
	This patch introduces the "bridge_ctl" member of pci_bus, which allows
	architectures to tweak the bridge control register (eg, for setting
	fast back to back modes etc) in pcibios_fixup_bus().
	
	Please note, though, that the value is only written back if
	pci_setup_bridge() is called.  This will be called if an architecture
	is using the generic PCI bus setup functionality in setup-bus.c.
	If an architecture doesn't, then it is the responsibility of the
	architecture to write this value to the bridge as appropriate.
	
	(That said, the bridge control register is only ever changed if an
	architecture is using setup-bus.c anyway, so there should be no
	overall functional change.)

<lxiep@ltcfwd.linux.ibm.com>
	[PATCH] PCI Hotplug: fix rpaphp bugs
	
	The attached patch has a fix for the conflict between  fakephp and
	rpaphp so that fakephp and rpaphp can't be built into the kernel at the
	same time and a couple of  problems I missed in my previous patch.
	(Sorry about that).

<dlsy@snoqualmie.dp.intel.com>
	[PATCH] PCI Hotplug: Patch to get polling mode in SHPC hot-plug driver properly working
	
	Here is the patch to get polling mode in SHPC hot-plug properly
	working.

<greg@kroah.com>
	PCI Hotplug: remove unneeded ACPI Makefile rules.

<greg@kroah.com>
	PCI Hotplug: clean up the Makefile a bit more.
	
	Still need to fix up the pcie and shpc options to be saner for distros to use.

<romieu@fr.zoreil.com>
	[netdrvr r8169] fix TX descriptor overflow
	
	Please apply attached patch.
	
	Without patch, bogus descriptors are parsed as soon as
	tp->cur_tx%NUM_TX_DESC + (tp->cur_tx - tp->dirty_tx) > NUM_TX_DESC
	(assume for instance tp->dirty_tx = NUM_TX_DESC/2,
	tp->cur_tx = NUM_TX_DESC - 1 and watch entry go beyond NUM_TX_DESC).
	
	Missing stats update is fixed by the patch btw.

	[PATCH] ia64: make hugetlbfs page size a boot-time option
	
	This patch makes it possible to select the hugetlbfs page size at boot-time,
	rather than at compile-time.  We believe we have resolved all the remaining
	issues.  All critical speed path has been taken care of, i.e., vhpt handler
	and context switch.  There should be no performance penalty with this dynamic
	hugetlb page size feature.
	
	We would like to thank Jack Steiner for his initiative on this feature
	and his initial cool working patch.

<masbock@us.ibm.com>
	[PATCH] Driver for IBM service processor - updated (1/2)
	
	Here is a device driver for the IBM xSeries RSA service processor.
	The ibmasm driver is mainly intended to be used in conjunction with a user space
	API and systems management applications that need to get in-band access to
	the service processor, such as sending commands or waiting for events.
	For the remote video feature the driver relays remote mouse and keyboard
	events to user space.
	By itself the driver also allows the OS to make use the UART on the service
	processor board as a regular serial line.
	
	The user interface to the driver is a custom file system. It does not use sysfs since
	the operations on the files are somewhat beyond the one file / one value rule for sysfs.
	Since it is not strictly a char driver I put it into the drivers/misc directory.
	
	The patch is fairly big, therefore I split it up into the file system part and the
	everything-else part.
	
	Here is the non-filesystem part:

	[PATCH] Driver for IBM service processor - updated (2/2)

	[PATCH] hp100 -- isa probe fix
	
	Jeff, here is a cleaned up version of the 2.6.3 hp100 isa (non-modular) probing.
	It needs to check for the board being present before reading the signature.

	[MTD] Fix build errors in Lubbock MTD map driver.

	[ARM] Fix SA1111 OHCI IRQ handler return type.

<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
	[MTD] Fix ARM Firmware Suite MTD partition detection.
	
	Tighten AFS partition checks:
	- check footer checksum.
	- check that the image name is NUL terminated.
	- return error from mtd->read intact.
	This prevents us finding bogus AFS partitions.

<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
	[MTD] Update integrator-flash.c with MTD CVS.
	
	Allow command line partitioning for use with Integrator flash.

<kenneth.w.chen@intel.com>
	[PATCH] ia64: move irq_entry()/irq_exit() to ia64_handle_irq()
	
	This patch fixes a bug which could cause do_softirq() to be called
	at the wrong time (from do_IRQ()) or without pre-emption protection.

	[PATCH] export locks_remove_posix
	
	kNFSd needs it.

<olof@austin.ibm.com>
	[PATCH] ppc64: Add iommu=on for enabling DART on small-mem machines
	
	This makes it possible for people like me with a small-mem G5 to enable
	the DART.  I see two reasons for wanting to do so:
	
	1. To debug/test DART/iommu code itself (small audience, including
	   myself).
	2. To debug drivers on small-mem machines, since bad pci_map*() usage will
	   be punished (possibly larger audience).

<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com>
	ia64: Fix IDE block-layer BUG_ON() reported by Darren Williams.
	
	The problem was that IDE-disks on machines with IDE harddisks,
	memory above 4GB and no hardware I/O TLB would go BUG_ON() in
	blk_queue_bounce_limit() because the IDE-controller could only
	address 4GB of memory and that was much less than BLK_BOUNCE_ISA
	(which is equal to ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD).  Note that the problem does
	NOT trigger with CD-ROMs, which always uses the software I/O TLB
	(and hence bounce-buffers) on such machines.
	
	The best fix seems to be to simply lower ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD to 4GB-1 since
	that will ensure that the IDE block layer allocates memory with GFP_DMA,
	which will minimize bounce buffering.

<eranian@hpl.hp.com>
	[PATCH] ia64: perfmon update
	
	        - fix bug in pfm_unload(), not allowed when not on correct CPU for
	          system-wide
	        - some perf/cleanup in overflow handler
	        - fix reset_pmds to be on a per PMD basis on counter overflow rather
	          than global
	        - remove timing debug code on messages
	        - no kernel info leak on PFM_END_MSG
	        - remove double-store on reg_flags for pfm_write_pmcs, pfm_write_pmds
	        - on restart reset_pmds is 0 by default
	        - cleanup useless macros
	        - cleanup some debug prints
	        - added ability to remove debug code
	        - streamlined sys_perfmonctl(), pfm_read_pmds(), pfm_write_*()
	        - added current->tgid to default format sample header by using one
	          reserved field

<peterc@gelato.unsw.edu.au>
	[PATCH] ia64: greatly speed-up I/O-SAPIC irq_enable()/irq_disable()
	
	This patch changes the I/O SAPIC code to cache the low 32 bits of the mask
	word in kernel memory.  This greatly speeds up mask_irq() and unmask_irq().
	
	Normally, these operations are not on the speed-critical path of the
	kernel but with certain devices drivers (including users-level device-
	drivers) they can become performance-critical.

<davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com>
	ia64: Fix pdflush-triggered stack-overflow due to long thread-creation chains.
	
	The pdflush kernel threads can lead to an unbounded chain of thread-creations
	which can overflow the kernel stacks because we didn't uses to reset
	the stack on kernel thread-creation.  We do now.
	
	Reported by Andreas Schwab, tracked down with help from Keith Owens.

<bdschuym@pandora.be>
	[BR_NETFILTER]: Fix vlan-encapsulated fragmented IP traffic.
	
	When vlan-tagged fragmented IP traffic passes the bridging firewall and
	ip_conntrack is loaded and iptables sees this IP traffic, an oops can
	occur when trying to fragment the defragmented packets. This only
	happens in the slow_path of ip_fragment().
	The problem was reported, diagnosed and fixed by Adam Osuchowski and
	Tomasz Dubinski.
	When ip_fragment() is fragmenting an IP packet that's encapsulated, it has
	to make sure there is enough head room for the encapsulating header.
	
	The patch below fixes it. I saw no other way than to add some code to
	ip_fragment(), but this extra code is located in the slow_path so it's
	hardly ever executed.

<bcollins@debian.org>
	SPARC/m68k: Remove sun_setup_serial references, which is already gone.

<axboe@suse.de>
	[PATCH] fix CDROM_SEND_PACKET 32 -> 64-bit translation
	
	Here's a much better version.  The real bug was of course that the
	get_user/put_user for data_direction were transposed.
	
	This patch also fixes the translation of "quiet" and "timeout" to be
	safer and clearer (instead of memcpying them as two ints and knowing
	that "quiet" is first and assuming that "compat_int_t" is always the
	same as the native "int", the code now handles them explicitly).
	
	We should use "access_ok()" and __get_user/__put_user to generate better
	code for this, but it's not performance-critical, so we don't care.
	Some other day, perhaps.

	Yes. All hot-added adapters get legacy IRQs like IRQ5 in the example

	MIS:          0
	
	I attached a patch that does the legacy mode check that Dan suggested
	and IRQs for hot-added adapters seems to be given out in the APIC range.

	This patch seems to have been forgotten about, so here it is again,
	this time against 2.6.4-rc1.  This really needs to be send upstream,
	though I don't know where we got to with this one.  Maybe we should
	put it in akpm's tree for a while?
	
	It's essentially more of the "don't deadlock if you pull out a
	PCMCIA network card and it's currently configured up" patch which
	went in recently for PCMCIA NIC cards.

	[PATCH] fix umount dataloss problem
	
	address_spaces have a `dirtied_when' jiffies field which records the time at
	which the mapping was first dirtied.  This is used for the periodic writeback
	(kupdate) function.  It is also used to prevent livelocks in the writeback
	code: don't try to write back objects which were dirtied after
	sync_sb_inodes() was called.
	
	It used to be the case that dirtied_when == 0 had magical properties, so
	there is code in there which avoids accidentally setting dirtied_when to zero
	at jiffy wrap time.  We just set it to jiffies|1.
	
	Unfortunately, jiffies|1 is in the future.  So under some rare timing
	circumstances (inode dirtied within one jiffy of umount) the livelock
	avoidance code in sync_sb_inodes() can accidentally trigger and we fail to
	write an inode out, resulting in filesytem corruption on ext2-style
	filesystems.  Normally, nobody dirties a file within a millisecond of umount,
	so it was not noticed.
	
	It is no longer the case that (address_space.dirtied_when == 0) has special
	meaning, so we can just remove all that code and fix the bug.

	[PATCH] Fix VT mode change vs. fbcon
	
	From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
	
	This patch implements what we discussed earlier to fix the switch bewteen
	KD_GRAPHICS and KD_TEXT.
	
	It has been tested for a few days now and appear to resolve the problem for
	affected users.
	
	James: I know you have some objections, I don't fully agree with them, and
	I want that in asap now, that bug has been plaguing fbdev since the very
	beginning and it's time to get rid of that and my corresponding todolist
	entry.  You are welcome to propose a patch on top of this one if you feel
	you can make things cleaner.  The approach of adding a parameter to
	con_blank() is Linus idea btw :)
	
	I didn't add a separate function as that would have made the butchering of
	drivers/char/vt beyond what I want to deal with in 2.6.

	[PATCH] sys_alarm() return value fix
	
	From: Kurt Garloff <garloff@suse.de>
	
	when calling
	
	alarm(1); alarm(0);
	
	the second alarm can wrongly return 2. This makes an LSB test fail.
	
	It happens due to rounding errors in the timeval to jiffie conversion and
	back.  On i386 with HZ =3D=3D 1000, there would not need to be rounding
	error IMVHO, but they even occur there.  On HZ=3D1024 platforms, they may
	even be unavoidable.
	
	Attached patch fixes the return value of alarm().

	[PATCH] Fix network hashtable sizing

	Fix it up so that the sizing is the same as it used to be in 2.6, with a
	boot-time override.  Which was what was intended.

	[PATCH] Make powernow-k8 cpufreq control work again
	
	From: Pavel Machek <pavel@suse.cz>

	cat /proc/cpufreq
	
	          minimum CPU frequency  -  maximum CPU frequency  -  policy
	CPU  0         2000 kHz (100 %)  -       2000 kHz (100 %)  -  powersave
	
	
	I do not have explanation why it is 2MHz - 2MHz.  On my system I removed
	bug which prevented my system from being reported as 0.8MHz - 1.8MHz.  (And
	modulo cosmetic uglyness, it worked).
	
	This fixes cosmetic uglyness, adds proper copyrights, removes warning
	"untested on PREEMPT" (someone tested it, and makes it easier to override
	PST by user (eMachine users will need that one).

	[PATCH] x86-64 fixes for 2.6.4rc1
	
	From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
	
	Fix a few issues on x86-64 for 2.6.4rc1.
	
	The 32bit emulation used 4GB/3 for the mmap break. This actually gave
	programs less sbrk space than with a standard 32bit kernel. Move the 32bit
	mmap break to 0xc5000000.
	
	Uses the correct gcc option to optimize for Prescott now (requires a very
	new mainline gcc)
	
	Also merge the i386 sched_clock().  I hope this will fix some interactivity
	problems with the scheduler.
	
	- Change initializer to new style (Arnd Bergmann)
	- Remove 2 sibling limit in HT support (from i386)
	- Always log RIP in MCE records even when not exact
	- Move 32bit program task break up to 0xc5000000 by default
	- Use -march=prescott for Prescott optimized kernel if possible
	- Don't divide by zero with report_lost_ticks on and HPET off
	- Merge preempt/smp/debug_pagealloc oops printing from i386
	- Add pfn_to_nid()
	- Merge more accurate sched_clock from i386
	- Remove traces of debugging code in mce.c
	- Update defconfig

	[PATCH] convert pdflush to kthread
	
	From: Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com>
	
	New pdflush threads are launched on-demand by pdflush.
	
	It turns out that on some architectures (eg, ia64) a kernel thread inherits
	its parent's stack utilisation.  So after the thread-launches-a-thread
	cycle has progressed sufficiently far we run out of stack space and crash.
	
	Simple fix: convert pdflush to use kthreads.  All kthreads are parented by
	keventd so there is no stack windup as a result of pdflush launching
	pdflush.

	[PATCH] oprofile: fix P4 HT msr sharing
	
	From: Philippe Elie <phil.el@wanadoo.fr>
	
	When I debugged P4 ht oprofile a few month ago I noticed that but though it
	wasn't a problem...  The fix I propose is not completely clean.
	
	With P4 HT we split msr in two subset, one for each logical processor.  The
	msrs subset used in op_model_p4.c at save and setup point of view are
	distinct (*), it means we must serialize setup and save operation else a
	logical processor can save some msr value already setup by the other thread
	then when oprofile shutdown we restore wrong msrs values.
	
	Nobody noticed the problem because after restoring the msrs we call
	enable_lapic_nmi_watchdog() -> setup_p4_watchdog() wich clear all the msrs
	but it's a bit fragile.  If nmi watchdog is not enabled nothing bad occurs
	because the LVTPC remains disabled.
	
	(*) this is done in this way because it allows a lot of simplification in
	op_model_p4.c, yes it isn't clean but it's not fixable w/o rewriting 75% of
	op_model_p4.c and I think the code will be bigger and more complex.

	Here is a small ISDN fix for the current tree.
	
	There is a compiler inlining/optimation problem with strpbrk, if it has

	     which were seemingly "clean" unlink cases.  This gets rid of
	     some list corruption issues ("bad entry") by getting rid of
	     a fast-path carried over from 2.4 usb-ohci.
	
	   * In case of unlink-during-submit, we must giveback() right away.
	     This is a reasonably rare case.
	
	There have been recent reports of problems here.  The "bad entry"
	showed up with usbtest tests #11 and #12, or "stir4200", and maybe
	in other cases.  The unlink-during-submit shows up in usbtest.

	[PATCH] PCI Hotplug: fixes for shpc and pcie hot-plug drivers
	
	This patch contains the following:
	1.  Fix up the pcie and shpc options to make it easier for distros
	    to use as what we have discussed;
	2.  Fix bug encountered when installing the drivers on non-hotplug
	    systems;
	3.  Put PCI_CAP_ID_SHPC in include/linux/pci.h

	[PATCH] parport: move exports to where they are defined
	
		Exports moved from parport/init.c to files where functions are
	actually defined.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] parport: use module_init()
	
		Init of low-level drivers (except parport_pc) turned into module_init().

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] parport: sysctl registration
	
		Registration of sysctls turned into module_init().

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] parport: option parsing cleanup
	
		parport_pc options parsing moved to parport_pc.c; parport/init.c is
	gone.
		Warning fixes from -mm added.

	[PATCH] parport: fix probe leaks
	
		parport_pc_probe_port() sanitized; leaks fixed.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] parport: slave port cleanups
	
		references to slave ports of mux added to struct parport.
	parport_daisy_init() doesn't go through parport_announce_port() for mux
	slaves anymore; parport_annouce_port() deals with found ones itself.
	Error handling sanitized, races on unregistration fixed.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] parport: fix parport_unregister_port
	
		parport_unregister_port() is split; parport_remove_port() does
	what parport_unregister_port() used to do sans the final parport_put_port()
	call.
		Callers updated; many of them needed only parport_put_port() (failure
	exit paths where we never had the port announced to drivers).
		Fixed multiple races on port removal by shifting parport_remove_port()
	in front of the code that releases irq/io ports/etc.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] parport: clean up parport_announce_port and friends
	
		parport_announce_port() was always called right after
	parport_proc_register().  Call shifted into parport_announce_port().
	Similar for parport_remove_port() and parport_proc_unregister().

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] parport: keep track of parport_pc ports
	
		parport_pc switched to keeping track of the ports it had
	created; in module_exit it uses the private list instead of messing
	with parport_enumerate().
		Added compile fix for configs that have CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO turned
	off (from -mm).

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] parport: keep track of parport_sunbpp ports
	
		parport_sunbpp switched to keeping track of the ports it had
	created; in module_exit it uses the private list instead of messing
	with parport_enumerate().  Added check for sbus_ioremap() failure in
	port initialization.

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] parport: get rid of parport_enumerate
	
		parport_enumerate() is gone.  The last caller was under ifdef that
	never had been true.  Function itself is removed, port list handling
	cleaned up (now we can do that, since drivers don't mess with the list
	directly), tons of racy crap removed from parport/share.c

<viro@www.linux.org.uk>
	[PATCH] parport: list cleanups
	
		parport driver list turned into list.h one; parport/share.c code that
	works with that list got cleaned up.

	[PATCH] radeonfb: some more PLL problems
	
	I've had reports of flicker that appear with large (23") flat panels
	and radeonfb. From experiments, it appears that forbiding the "odd"
	PLL divider values fix it (like it fixes the blur problem on TMDS2).
	
	There should not be anything special with TMDS1 and "odd" PLL values
	though, so the problem may be subtly different (a bandwidth problem),
	but until I have proper bandwidth calculation and access to this
	monitor, the following patch is an acceptable workaround (Odd PLL values
	aren't that useful anyway)
