2.6.7-rc3 long-format changelogSummary of changes from v2.6.7-rc2 to v2.6.7-rc3 ============================================ <vojtech@suse.cz> input: Chips passing MUX detection incorrectly due to USB Legacy support report MUX version 10.12, not 12.10. Fixed. <vojtech@suse.cz> input: Profusion/ServerWorks chipset workaround in i8042.c for Ingo Molnar. <vojtech@suse.cz> input: Fix emulation of mouse reset (0xff) command. <davej@redhat.com> [AGPGART] If ati_create_gatt_pages() fails, don't propagate an address we've freed. <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: synaptics driver cleanup - pack all button data in 2 bytes instead of 48 - adjust the way we extract button data - query extended capabilities if SYN_EXT_CAP_REQUESTS >= 1 (was == 1) according to Synaptics' addendum to the interfacing guide - do not announce or report BTN_BACK/BTN_FORWARD unless touchpad has SYN_CAP_FOUR_BUTTON in its capability flags <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: support Synaptics touchpads that have separate middle button <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: pass maximum allowed protocol to psmouse_extensions instead of accessing psmouse_max_proto directly allowing to avoid changing the global parameter when synaptics initialization fails <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: Change spurious ACK warning in atkbd to soften accusation against XFree86 <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: fix trailing whitespace in atkbd <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: remove unneeded fields in atkbd structure, convert to bitfields <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: Do not generate events from atkbd until keyboard is completely initialized. It should suppress messages about suprious NAKs when controller's timeout is longer than one in atkbd <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: when getting a new device announce (0xAA 0x00) in psmouse try reconnecting instead of rescanning to preserve (if possible) the same input device. <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: move "reconnect after so many errors" handling from synaptics driver to psmouse so it can be used by other PS/2 protcol drivers (but so far only synaptics knows how to validate incoming data) <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: add protocol_handler to psmouse structure to ease adding new protocols to psmouse module <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: add psmouse_sliced_command (passes extended commands encoded with 0xE8 to the mouse) and use it in Synaptics and Logitech drivers <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: do not modify device's properties when probing for protocol extensions on reconnect as it may interfere with reconnect process <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: allow disabling legacy psaux device even for non-embedded systems <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: serio trailing whitespace fixes <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: make serio open and close methods optional <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: trailing whitespace fixes <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: - move set_abs_params from synaptics driver to input and rename to input_set_abs_params - convert input_report_* macros into inline functions - make use of set_abs_params in touchscreen drivers <tejohnson@yahoo.com> input: Microtouch USB driver update Changed reset from standard USB dev reset to vendor reset Changed data sent to host from compensated to raw coordinates Eliminated vendor/product module params Performed multiple successfull tests with an EXII-5010UC <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: trailing whitespace fixes in drivers/input/serio <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: kbd98io_interrupt should return irqreturn_t <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: kbd98_interrupt should return irqreturn_t <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: various fixes for H3600 touchscreen driver - h3600ts_interrupt, npower_button_handler and action_button_handler should return irqreturn_t - fix missing argument in h3600ts_process_packet call - add MODULE_AUTHOR, MODULE_DESCRIPTION and MODULE_LICENSE - small formatting changes <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: twidjoy module - twidjoy_interrupt should return irqreturn_t - add MODULE_DESCRIPTION and MODULE_LICENSE <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: trailing whitespace fixes in drivers/input/keyboard <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: power - add MODULE_LICENSE <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: trailing whitespace fixes in drivers/input/joystick <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: trailing whitespace fixes in drivers/input/gameport <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: trailing whitespace fixes in drivers/input <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: do not call synaptics_init unless we are ready to do full mouse setup <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: split i8042 interrupt handling into an IRQ handler and a tasklet <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Patch from Sau Dan Lee Input: i8042 - kill the timer only after removing interrupt handler, otherwise there is a chance that interrupt handler will install the timer again and it will trigger after module is unloaded. <dtor_core@ameritech.net> Input: mousedev - better multiplex absolute and relative devices; cleanups <davej@redhat.com> [AGPGART] Various Intel/EM64T AGP fixes. From Andi Kleen. - Add full PCI IDs to the module table for intel-agp and intel-mch-agp. Don't use PCI_ANY_ID for device, since the drivers cannot handle unknown devices anyways. This fixes the problems with them loading both when compiled in and also helps external tools that use the module PCI table to find the correct driver. - Remove wrong hack in intel-mch-agp that checked for long mode. EM64T capability has nothing to do with the MCH version. To avoid double probing the fix above is better. - Handle the case of no AGP capability (unlikely, but better to handle it) <async@cc.gatech.edu> evdev.c: input: Fix an oops at opentime of /dev/input/event devices <vojtech@suse.cz> input: Check for IM Explorer mice even if IMPS check failed. <tiwai@suse.de> input: Fix oops in hiddev <davej@redhat.com> [AGPGART] Don't abort if Intel-agp can't find AGP capability. Some bridges don't have this set it seems. Detective work, and fixing by Andi Kleen. <aia21@cantab.net> NTFS: Add a new address space operations struct, ntfs_mst_aops, for mst protected attributes. This is because the default ntfs_aops do not make sense with mst protected data and were they to write anything to such an attribute they would cause data corruption so we provide ntfs_mst_aops which does not have any write related operations set. <davej@redhat.com> [AGPGART] Make the driver only announce the PCI IDs it actually supports. This avoids dups with the amd64 driver. From: Andi Kleen <davej@redhat.com> [AGPGART] kill trailing whitespace & indentation fixes. <davej@redhat.com> [AGPGART] Make the VIA AGP driver only announce PCI IDs it actually supports. Avoids dups with the AMD64 driver. From: Andi Kleen <davej@redhat.com> [AGPGART] Make the Nvidia AGP driver only announce PCI IDs it actually supports. From: Andi Kleen <davej@redhat.com> [AGPGART] Add missing SIS755 ID to AMD64 AGP driver From: Andi Kleen <davej@redhat.com> [AGPGART] Remove lots of trailing whitespace from amd64 gart driver. No code changes. <davej@redhat.com> [AGPGART] Fix a potential leak in intel driver. It's not leaking anything currently, as agp_alloc_bridge() doesn't do any actual allocations right now, but if/when things get changed to support multiple bridges, these error paths need to free up the allocation. <davej@redhat.com> [CPUFREQ] Silence noisy debugging printk in longhaul driver. <davej@redhat.com> [CPUFREQ] Convert longhaul driver to use module_param <davej@redhat.com> [CPUFREQ] Remove some unneeded includes. <davej@redhat.com> [CPUFREQ] Use correct printk prefix in p4-clockmod driver <davej@redhat.com> [CPUFREQ] Quieten the powernow-k7 init printk a little. There seem to be quite a few desktop K7 processors which support the powernow cpuid call, but don't actually offer any powernow scaling. In which case the driver prints out "PowerNOW! Technology present. Can scale: nothing" which looks a bit odd, and just adds to confusion of end-users. Change things so that we don't print anything at all if we can't do anything. Also kill some trailing whitespace gremlins that crept in. <davej@redhat.com> [CPUFREQ] Remove a bunch of trailing whitespace from the powernow-k8 driver. <davej@redhat.com> [CPUFREQ] Fix leak in powernow-k8 Spotted by Yury Umanets <davej@redhat.com> [CPUFREQ] Make longhaul debug a module option. <davej@redhat.com> [CPUFREQ] Scaling on VIA C3 Nehemiah works now. So remove the warning printk. <aia21@cantab.net> NTFS: Cleanup dirty ntfs inode handling (fs/ntfs/inode.[hc]) which also includes an adapted ntfs_commit_inode() and an implementation of ntfs_write_inode() which for now just cleans dirty inodes without writing them (it does emit a warning that this is happening). <aia21@cantab.net> NTFS: 2.1.12 release - Fix the second fix to the decompression engine. <davej@redhat.com> [CPUFREQ] fix panic in powernow_k8_verify on MP but PSB systems. Instead of -ENODEV; powernow_k8_cpu_init returns 0 if it's running on a MP system but PSB BIOS is tried... this causes a panic in powernow_k8_verify, as can be seen at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=177423 Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@brodo.de> <davej@redhat.com> [CPUFREQ] Make powernow-k7 module parameter not need powernow prefix. From: Bruno Ducrot because powernow_k7.powernow_acpi_force=1 looks silly. <davej@redhat.com> [AGPGART] SIS AGP updates Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> From: "Heilmann, Oliver" <Oliver.Heilmann@drkw.com> * renamed sis_648_enable to sis_delayed_enable and removed chipset references * All chipsets that require the sis delay-hack are listed in sis_broken_chipsets (and no other place). * There are two new module options to force agp3-spec compliant initialisation and/or the delay hack. As I only have a 648FX chipset to test on, I figured this might be useful to experiment with on other chipsets (i.e.746[FX]). Basically, if you have an SiS chipset and your machine freezes when you start X, try the -agp_sis_force_delay=1 option. If this fixes your problem add your PCI ID to sis_broken_chipsets in sis-agp.c Note to 746[FX] people: I'm still not sure what the differences between the two 746 versions and the 648 series are. If this patch does not work for you try playing with the agp_sis_agp_spec module option. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. <davidm@tiger.hpl.hp.com> ia64: Reserve syscall # for vserver(). <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> [PATCH] ia64: fix hotplug config placement HOTPLUG_CPU depends on SMP, so why not put it under SMP? <jgarzik@redhat.com> [netdrvr e1000] use generic ethtool_ops provided in net/core/ethtool.c <jbarnes@engr.sgi.com> [PATCH] ia64: don't udelay() in sn_mmiob sn_mmiob is a lightweight way to ensure PCI write ordering, intended to be used as an alternative to doing a PIO read. Unfortunately, with the udelay() in there, it ends up being slower than a PCI read on small configurations, so remove it in favor of a simple cpu_relax(). <jgarzik@redhat.com> [netdrvr 8139too] remove bogus config option test 8139too should not be testing CONFIG_EMBEDDED. Thanks to Christoph Hellwig for pointing this out. <rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk> [ARM] Add two more missing __user annotations for sparse. <pepe@attika.ath.cx> [PATCH] make vram boot option actually work The following patch makes the vram boot option actually be recognized and its value assigned to the vram variable. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> <torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org> Add __user annotations to sock_get_timestamp() <torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org> ppc64: fix untyped large constants so that they don't cause sparse to warn about implicit typing. <ak@suse.de> [PATCH] x86-64 update Add accumulated bug fixes for x86-64 and some minor cleanups. - Add ptep_set_access_flags from i386 - Change memory text mapping to 10MB from 40MB to make alias window smaller - Disable change_page_attr for kernel mapoing for now (wrong, but the other code also doesn't work) - Add .bss.page_aligned and align interrupt/exception stacks (idea from Matt Mackall) - Protect sysenter MSR setup against missing registers. - Set mce tolerance level to 1 (panic instead of deadlock) - Fix cross 4GB bug in find_first_bit (Michael Matz) - Add missing memory clobbers in bitops.h (Suresh B. Siddha) - Check kernel size at boot up - Set boot cpu online at boot to fix early printk - Fix EFER bit definitions (Dave Jones) - Fix comments in 32bit syscall table. - Quieten all 32bit syscalls that are unimplemented in 32bit. - Various MCE fixes suggested by Eric Morton, David Boles et.al. More to come. - Quieten some printks - Fix cpu online check in msr driver - Lower polling interval for machine checks to 5 minutes to avoid overrunning the registers. - Make memcpy_{from,to}io more compatible with i386 (Roland Dreier) <ak@suse.de> [PATCH] Really fix empty node 0 on x86-64 x86-64 shares some numa code with i386, and that didn't handle holes in the node map properly. Fix this. <torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org> ppc64: use "ASM_CONST()" to give proper C type to constants that can also be used in assembly language context. This one fixes the common CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE warning in asm/cacheflush.h. <davem@nuts.davemloft.net> [SPARC64]: Update defconfig. <davem@nuts.davemloft.net> [SPARC]: Do tty_flip_buffer_push outside of port lock. <davem@nuts.davemloft.net> [PKT_SCHED]: Missing rta_len init in sch_delay. <ak@suse.de> [PATCH] Fix compilation on x86-64 I managed to break compilation with my last patch with a last minute edit. <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: missed setsockopt wrappers Here's the tail of setsockopt I've missed - for old protocol families we have wrappers around those methods. <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: dev_ioctl() callers dev_ioctl() has a __user pointer argument; however, its declaration lacks that and callers are also wrong. Declaration fixed, callers updated. <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: missed piece of sock_get_timestamp() annotation <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: trivial part of net/* annotation <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: more net/* annotation Annotation of net/* ...copy... that deals with userland pointers + several bits that fell out of previous patch (trivial annotations) <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: net/* non-ANSI argument lists <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: amd64 annotation - beginning Annotated basic primitives (copy_.._user, get_user, ...). Functions got __user in prototypes, macros (in uaccess.h) got a conditional check - see CHECK_UPTR() below. If you have more elegant way to deal with the macros - please, tell. <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: amd64 annotations - trivial part Annotation of amd64 code - just adding __user where needed... <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: amd64 - more trivial annotations <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: amd64 - #if abuse fixes #if where #ifdef should've been. Fixed. <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: amd64 - long constants Long constants marked as such. <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: amd64 - rest return void in floppy.h and "conditionally long" constants in page.h. Would be useful to teach as(1) about C notation for long... <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: fs/compat.c::copy_iocb() cleanup That "u64" in there is actually struct iocb __user *. Changed prototype, killed casts in body and caller... <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: tty_io annotation tty_io.c annotated <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: tty_ioctl annotation tty_ioctl.c annotation <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: vt and friends vt, vt_ioctl, consolemap and selection annotated, struct unimapdesc and struct consolefontdesc got __user on their pointer members. <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: n_tty annotation n_tty annotated, ldisc_struct ->read() and ->write() got __user on their buf argument. <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: tty_driver ->write_proc() Made ->write_proc in tty_driver suitable for procfs write callback <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: SIOCGIFCONF handling - the rest of it Fixed the type of SIOCGIFCONF callback; inet instance was already correctly annotated, decnet one was _not_. Moreover, decnet callback needed fixing - dereferencing userland address. <torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org> ppc64: more explicitly typed constants <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse alpha: beginning of __user annotation Copying primitives annotated. <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse alpha: long constants Long constants marked as such <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse alpha: #if abuses #if where #ifdef should've been <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse alpha: trivial parts of __user annotation Trivial stuff in arch/alpha annotated; in two cases of osf_proplist_syscall() dereferencing userland pointers replaced with get_user <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse alpha: utimes() ... and that's where I'd found do_utimes() crap before I went grepping ;-) <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse alpha: the rest of it A bunch of "return in void function" dealt with, removed bogus extern from definition of __load_new_mm_context(), sanitized fscking ugly CROSS_64K() helper (even if sparse doesn't segfault on that anymore, it's _still_ fscking ugly). <torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org> ppc64: mark the "regshere" marker with proper type information. <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] trivial annotation for arch/i386/kernel/* Several places in arch/i386/kernel were still un-annotated - they didn't trip copy_.._user(), so they stayed alive. Caught and killed. That's not all - there's a big cluster of them in vm86.c, but I haven't looked into that code yet. <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: reiserfs annotation Everything straigthforward and takes care of almost all sparse warnings in fs/reiserfs/*. <rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk> [PCMCIA] Fix up SOC PCMCIA socket timing calculations The timing calculations used by the PXA platforms did not always take account of the timings handed to us by PCMCIA, and where it did, it assumed IO timings for memory windows. We fix this, and provide a generic function which calculates the required timings (in nanoseconds) for IO, memory and attribute windows. The SOC drivers only have to convert this information to whatever format the hardware requires to achieve at least these timing parameters. <rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk> [ARM] Eliminate meminfo 'end' element Some machines decided to initialise this element. It's not necessary since find_memend_and_nodes() initialises this itself. However, 'end' is not required if we initialise high_memory in this function rather than waiting until mem_init() is called. <rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk> [ARM] Correct permissions on several ARMv6 files. <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> [PATCH] sparse: asus_acpi dereference of userland pointers Direct sscanf() on userland buffer in procfs ->write_proc(). Fixed. <torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org> sparse: add "__force" type attribute for forcing a cast. <torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org> ppc64: check more of the user access functions for proper arguments. <torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org> ppc64: missing __user annotations noticed by stricter checks. <torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org> sparse: make x86 user pointer checks stricter. Also use "__force" when forcing the user address to "unsigned long" for the address limit check. <marcel@holtmann.org> [Bluetooth] Move function exports out of syms.c With Linux 2.6 there is no need to keep the function exports in a central file and thus the use of syms.c makes no real sense. Remove it and add the EXPORT_SYMBOL calls to the functions they belong to. <torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org> ppc64: fix more user pointers in signal handling <torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org> ppc64: add more user annotations to ptrace.c <torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org> ppc64: more user address fixups. Removed one (harmless) direct user pointer access. <davem@nuts.davemloft.net> [SPARC64]: Fix NR_IRQS check in hardirq.h <marcel@holtmann.org> [Bluetooth] Remove CVS tags and cleanup the code Since we are using Bitkeeper the CVS tags are useless. This patch removes them and makes some whitespace cleanups. <marcel@holtmann.org> [Bluetooth] Update Kconfig help entries This patch updates the address of the BlueZ project and changes some wording of the help entries. <marcel@holtmann.org> [Bluetooth] Allocate protocol number for HIDP support This patch allocates the next free protocol number for the upcoming HIDP support. <marcel@holtmann.org> [Bluetooth] Add dynamic PSM allocation for L2CAP server sockets If no PSM is specified for a L2CAP server socket, it will search for the next free one and automaticly bind to it. Proposed by Stephen Crane <steve.crane@rococosoft.com> <marcel@holtmann.org> [Bluetooth] Add dynamic channel allocation for RFCOMM server sockets If no channel is specified for a RFCOMM server socket, it will search for the next free one and automaticly bind to it. Proposed by Stephen Crane <steve.crane@rococosoft.com> <marcel@holtmann.org> [Bluetooth] Add quirk for broken RTX Telecom based dongles Some RTX Telecom based USB dongles offer SCO support, but their implementation is broken. This patch disables the use of the ISOC interface for these devices. <davem@nuts.davemloft.net> [SPARC64]: Annotate 64-bit constants with 'UL' <davem@nuts.davemloft.net> [SPARC64]: __volatile --> __volatile__ <petero2@telia.com> [PATCH] Avoid excessive stack usage in NFS Assigning '*wdata' with a dynamic initializer creates a temporary structure copy on the stack, and then the final data is initialized with a "memcpy()". As a result, these NFS functions use more than 800 bytes of stack-space. Changing the code to just do a memset followed by explicit initialization of the non-zero member variables takes the stack usage down to 36 bytes. Here is a patch that does exactly that. <torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org> sparse: make x86 and ppc64 set the architecture-specific #define's explcitly. sparse doesn't set any arch defines itself. <davem@nuts.davemloft.net> [SPARC64]: Lots of sparse work for arch/sparc64. <akpm@osdl.org> [PATCH] ppc32: reorg DMA API, add coherent alloc in irq From: Eugene Surovegin <ebs@ebshome.net> Put back DECLARE_PCI_UNMAP_??? and friends accidentaly removed during DMA API reorganization.

The pure PCI machines don't have these cards. - Allow the chip_name to be overridden in tulip_init_one(). - Fix some indentation. - Handle the output from tulip_read_eeprom() better. <joern@wohnheim.fh-wedel.de> [PATCH] Improve `make checkstack' On i386, stack usually grows with "sub $0x8,%esp" and shrinks with "add $0x8,%esp" respectively. In some cases, though, stack grows with "add $0xffffff80,%esp" and shrinks with "sub $0xffffff80,%esp". Obviously, we don't want to miss those cases. Since in either case add and sub seem to be balanced and contain the same parameter, we don't need a second regex. We simply accept hex numbers of up to 8 digits and treat them as negative numbers when the sub appears to be a little too high. ...or so I thought. But another day of testing proved me wrong again. Some functions do stuff like "sub $0x10,%esp", ..., "add $0x20,%esp". In other words, add and sub are *NOT* balanced. Manual inspection showed that 0x20 is a more realistic number, so I accept either variant, just in case. We pay for this with a bunch of duplicates in our output, but that beats missing some stack hogs. In the long run, this script has to be replaced by gcc options, really. Looking at the result and guessing back is such a stupid idea.

Add w83627hf_init to fix initialization problem on certain motherboards. Make ping and disable code return 0 (int) on success. Extract set_heartbeat code to seperate function. <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> [IPV6] use appropriate __alignof__() for mibs. <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> [NET] Introduce and use several common stuff for snmp item list. <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> [IPV{4,6}] introduce ip-independent ipstats_mib based on ipv6_mib. <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> [IPV6] rename snmp6_ipv6_list to snmp6_ipstats_list. <davej@redhat.com> [AGPGART] Fix broken serverworks tlb flush routine. This is horribly broken due to a jiffy wrap bug, we never get out of the while loop, preventing booting on a kernel with this driver compiled in. (See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=124495) The warning message there has never been reported in any bug report that google can find, so I'm of the opinion that this driver is trying to be too clever for its own good. Rip out the jiffies logic completely, it should be totally unnecessary. <davej@redhat.com> [AGPGART] Make agp=off work again. This option only worked for the amd64 driver. On every other driver, the only thing it did was make it not printk the banner on startup. <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> [IPV4] use ip-independent ipstats_mib to store IPv4 statistics. <davej@redhat.com> [AGPGART] Improve the resume functions for Intel AGP bridges by restoring config space (the bios might not have done that).

We were missing a couple of places where we needed to use RELOC(). I added the RELOC in one case, and in the other, moved the variable that we were accessing onto the stack (and reduced its size). (We use the variable to get a property value, but we aren't interested in the value, just in whether the property exists or not. Since we pass the size of the variable to the OF getprop call, it won't overflow.) The effect of missing the RELOCs would be that random memory locations get used on IBM pSeries systems (possibly causing random boot failures). The other thing that this does is add a linux,phandle property to each node, containing the phandle for the node, which is the token that OF uses to identify the node. Some nodes reference other nodes by means of their phandle. Without the linux,phandle property, userspace code looking at the OF device-tree image in /proc/device-tree has no way of knowing which other node is being referenced.

This patch adds a watchdog timer which resets the connection to any lpar we seem to be having trouble sending to. With any luck the other end might behave better after the reset.

Unfortunately this is racy and causes e.g. http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi.../cvsroot=glibc to hang on SMP. http://listman.redhat.com/archives/phil-list/2004-May/msg00023.html contains analysis how the hang happens, the problem is if any thread does pthread_cond_*wait in between releasing of the internal condvar mutex and FUTEX_REQUEUE operation, a wrong thread might be awaken (and immediately go to sleep again because it doesn't satisfy conditions for returning from pthread_cond_*wait) while the right thread requeued on the associated mutex and there would be nobody to wake that thread up. The patch below extends FUTEX_REQUEUE operation with something FUTEX_WAIT already uses: FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE is passed an additional argument which is the expected value of *futex. Kernel then while holding the futex locks checks if *futex != expected and returns -EAGAIN in that case, while if it is equal, continues with a normal FUTEX_REQUEUE operation. If the syscall returns -EAGAIN, NPTL can fall back to FUTEX_WAKE INT_MAX operation which doesn't have this problem, but is less efficient, while in the likely case that nobody hit the (small) window the efficient FUTEX_REQUEUE operation is used.

Ingo explains: The condition is 'impossible', but the whole balancing code is (intentionally) a bit racy: cpus_and(tmp, group->cpumask, cpu_online_map); if (!cpus_weight(tmp)) goto next_group; for_each_cpu_mask(i, tmp) { if (!idle_cpu(i)) goto next_group; push_cpu = i; } rq = cpu_rq(push_cpu); double_lock_balance(busiest, rq); move_tasks(rq, push_cpu, busiest, 1, sd, IDLE); in the for_each_cpu_mask() loop we specifically check for each CPU in the target group to be idle - so push_cpu's runqueue == busiest [== current runqueue] cannot be true because the current CPU is not idle, we are running in the migration thread ... But this is not a real problem, load-balancing we do in a racy way to reduce overhead [and it's all statistics anyway so absolute accuracy is impossible], and active balancing itself is somewhat racy due to the migration-thread wakeup (and the active_balance flag) going outside the runqueue locks [for similar reasons]. so it all looks quite plausible - the normal SMP boxes dont trigger it, but Bjorn's 128-CPU setup with a non-trivial domain hiearachy triggers it.

Some devices have partition tables (and there are many styles of such), some don't. Traditionally fixed disks have one, floppies don't. Nobody knows what happens with ZIP disks, USB sticks and other such things. Both the DOS-type partition table, and the "big floppy" whole disk FAT filesystem are common. It is undesirable for the kernel to detect partitions where there are none. This leads to great confusion, sometimes to kernel crashes. In the particular case of DOS-type partition tables a partition entry has a 1-byte field boot_ind that traditionally is 0x80 for the boot partition and 0 for the other three primary partitions. Linux does not use this field, and one sometimes sees tables with all four entries zero. The patch tells the kernel not to think that something is a valid DOS-type partition table when a value other than 0 or 0x80 is encountered. I think it is a fairly safe change: I do not know of any fdisk-type program that will write other values there.

This patch disables the scanning of the MMU hash table and printing of the statistics that we get from it on 64-bit cpus. Since the statistics are only for interest, and the ppc32 kernel is being used less and less on 64-bit cpus now that the ppc64 kernel is in reasonable shape, I didn't think it worth while to add code to deal with the 64-bit HPTE format.

In a nutshell, skb checksum mangling has been removed from nf_hook_slow() and pushed up to whatever really needs to do it. Namely: NAT, ip_fw_compat, ipt_TCPMSS, IPSec transforms. skb_checksum_help() has been changed to perform an skb_copy() if needed (e.g. the original problem case where bcast/mcast was cloning packets for transmission over loopback, changing ip_summed). Because of the above, the output path has been modified to take into account the fact that an skb may need to be changed in some places. There are some minor changes in the routing code to take care of the now different input and output function prototypes. The ipv6 fragmentation code has been modified to detect a changed skb. The rest of the patch (probably the bulk of it) is simply the result of changing to double skb pointers. I've tested this with ipv4, ipv6, ipsec (including xfrm bundles), NAT and the original DHCP test case. Everything seems to be working ok.

But Andrea's fix rarely gives a false positive; and although it might be nicer to change exclusive_swap_page etc. to rely on page->mapcount instead, it seems likely that we'll want to get rid of page->mapcount later, so better not to entrench its use.

In some cases the addition of the new name caused a directory block split and the old dir_entry was pointing at the wrong entry, and the wrong entry was removed. This would seem entirely possible in a Maildir directory, since the MTA will be doing a lot of renames within the same directory. If old_de is pointing to the newly-added entry (i_ino is the same) we end up deleting the new entry instead of the old one. It looks as if the rename never happened. We need to verify that the name we are unlinking is what we expect. If is also possible that old_de is pointing to the now-unused space at the end of a newly-split leaf block, so we still need to try ext3_delete_entry() (which will skip the stale entry and return ENOENT) instead of just relying on the inum + name check.

That is due to two things: first, the previous wake-affine logic would *always* move a pipe wakee onto the waker's CPU. With the scheduler rework, this was toned down a lot (but extended to all types of wakeups). One of the ways this was damped was with the logic: don't move the wakee if its CPU is relatively idle compared to the waker's CPU. Without this, some workloads would pile everything up onto a few CPUs and get lots of idle time. However, the fix was a bit of a blunt hack: if the wakee runqueue was below 50% busy, and the waker's was above 50% busy, we wouldn't do the move. I think a better way to capture it is what this patch does: if the wakee runqueue is below 100% busy, and the sum of the two runqueue's loads is above 100% busy, and the wakee runqueue is less busy than the waker runqueue (ie. CPU utilisation would drop if we do the move), then we don't do the move. After I fixed this, I found things were still getting bounced around quite a bit. The reason is that we were attempting very aggressive idle balancing in order to cut down idle time in a dbt2-pgsql workload, which is particularly sensitive to idle. After having Mark Wong (markw@osdl.org) retest this load with this patch, it looks like we don't need to be so aggressive. I'm glad to be rid of this because it never sat too well with me. We should see slightly lower cost of schedule and slightly improved cache impact with this change too.

Missed one file. Here is an additional patch (missed tlbflush.h patch) Sorry. This adds the definiction of flush_tlb_page_nohash() that was missing from the previous patch fixing SW-TLB loaded PPCs Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> <benh@kernel.crashing.org> [PATCH] ppc64: make the TLB flush logic match ppc32 Adds a dummy flush_tlb_page_nohash() called by ptep_set_access_bits(), to be used if we ever have a ppc64 CPU with software loaded TLB.

This entry in the DMI blacklist table is missing it's NO_MATCH tags, which means the struct gets padded instead of filled with the desired NO_MATCH data which is {255, NULL} Usually not fatal it seems, but there have been numerous cases in Red Hat bugzilla where this did get tripped up, and caused an immediate reset on these boards. Not fun to track down.

First encountered in Aurora Wombat kernels and seems to afflict mainline as well. Patch is against 2.6.7-rc2. xorg still fails to actually get anything to display on my CG6, but at least it no longer oopses the kernel.
