Summary of changes from v2.6.9-rc3 to v2.6.9-rc4
============================================

<len.brown@intel.com>
	[ACPI] fix __initdata bug in acpi_irq_penalty[]
	
	Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com>

<len.brown@intel.com>
	[ACPI] ACPICA 20040816 update from Bob Moore
	
	Designed and implemented support within the AML interpreter
	for the so-called implicit return.  This support returns
	the result of the last ASL operation within a control
	method, in the absence of an explicit Return() operator.
	A few machines depend on this behavior, even though it
	is not explicitly supported by the ASL language.  It is
	optional support that can be enabled at runtime via the
	acpi_gbl_enable_interpreter_slack flag.
	
	Removed support for the PCI_Config address space from the
	internal low level hardware interfaces (acpi_hw_low_level_read
	and acpi_hw_low_level_write).  This support was not used
	internally, and would not work correctly anyway because
	the PCI bus number and segment number were not supported.
	There are separate interfaces for PCI configuration space
	access because of the unique interface.
	acpica-unix-20040816.patch
	
	AE_CODE_AML_MAX fix from Bjorn Helgaas

<len.brown@intel.com>
	[ACPI] Enable ACPICA workarounds for 'RELAXED_AML' and 'implicit return'
	These workarounds are disabled if "acpi=strict"

<davej@redhat.com>
	[AGPGART] via-agp.c resume/suspend support
	
	From: Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <arekm@pld-linux.org>
	
	With this patch I'm able to suspend to disk (well, works even without
	patch) and resume (without it my laptop hangs (even sysrq is not working)
	while resuming).

<tnt@246tNt.com>
	ppc: Freescale MPC52xx hardware definitions misc updates/fix
	
	Mainly this includes :
	 - Remove the 'volatile' keyword in structs defining hardware registers
	   sets. This keyword is useless and can even be harmful if it makes someone
	   believes it's sufficient to access a register like a variable. It's not !
	   And the registers must be accessed with the appropriate in_be/out_be. So
	   we remove this keyword as it's wrong and misleading.
	 - Some fixes to SDMA
	 - Add SDRAM & GPIO_WKUP unit
	 - Remove of useless #define

	Signed-off-by: Sylvain Munaut <tnt@246tNt.com>

<tnt@246tNt.com>
	ppc: Freescale MPC52xx interrupt controller init code update
	
	Part of the initialization code of the interrupt controller is

<tnt@246tNt.com>
	ppc: Allow the Freescale MPC52xx to NAP when idle on LITE5200 platform
	
	NAP allows some powersave. It's provided mainly as an example on how
	to do it.
	
	However, when a BDI is plugged it causes early crashes so be aware !
	You need to define CONFIG_BDI_SWITCH so powersave is disabled.

	[IA64-SGI] sn2: serialize access to PROM chips
	 
	If we read and write the PROM chips at the same time, as might happen at boot
	when salinfo extracts MCA records and a user is checking the PROM revision
	in /proc/sgi_prominfo, an MCA might occur, since the PROM chips can't be
	accessed that way.  This patch fixes the problem for systems with new PROMs
	(>= 3.50) by using the SAL to do PROM reads.

	[TCP]: Smooth out TSO ack clocking.
	
	- Export tcp_trim_head() and call it directly from
	  tcp_tso_acked().  This also fixes URG handling.
	
	- Make tcp_trim_head() adjust the skb->truesize of
	  the packet and liberate that space from the socket
	  send buffer.
	
	- In tcp_current_mss(), limit TSO factor to 1/4 of
	  snd_cwnd.  The idea is from John Heffner.

	The include of asm/arch/pxa-regs.h has been removed from
	asm-arm/arch-pxa/hardware.h and now needs to be included
	from the relevant files. 
	
	I have verified the fixes to arch/arm/mach-pxa/sleep.S and

	[PATCH] overcommit symbolic constants
	
	Played a bit with overcommit the past hour.
	
	Am not entirely satisfied with the no overcommit mode 2 -
	programs segfault when the system is close to that boundary.
	So, instead of the somewhat larger patch that I planned to send,
	just symbolic names for the modes.

	fix a problem in pfm_check_task_state() and pfm_task_incompatible()
	which was caused by the introduction of the new TASK_TRACED state.
	Tool would fail to attach to a process,i.e., PFM_LOAD_CONTEXT would
	fail. With the fix perfmon now accepts to operate on tasks which are
	in either TASK_STOPPED or TASK_TRACED state. The problem was tracked

<david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
	[PATCH] ppc64: change bad choice of VSID_MULTIPLIER
	
	We recently changed the VSID allocation on PPC64 to use a new scheme
	based on a multiplicative hash.  It turns out our choice of multiplier
	(the largest 28-bit prime) wasn't so great: with large contiguous
	mappings, we can get very poor hash scattering.  In particular earlier
	machines (without 16M pages) which had a reasonable about of RAM (>2G
	or so) wouldn't boot, because the linear mapping overflowed some hash
	buckets.
	
	This patch changes the multiplier to something which seems to work
	better (it is, rather arbitrarily, the median of the primes between
	2^27 and 2^28).  Some more theory should almost certainly go into the
	choice of this constant, to avoid more pathological cases.  But for
	now, this choice fixes a serious bug, and seems to do at least as well
	at scattering as the old choice on a handful of simple testcases.

	[ide] piix: fix wrong DMA mode selected
	
	From: Carsten Haustein <chaus@cs.uni-potsdam.de>
	
	A bug in function piix_config_drive_xfer_rate() allows a call of
	hwif->ide_dma_on(drive) without prior call of piix_config_drive_for_dma().
	This results in harddisk configured for UDMA (default?) whereas the highest
	DMA mode supported by PIIX3 is MWORD2.
	
	This bug is supposed to be present in any 2.6.x kernel release and any
	2.4.x kernel release since 2.4.21.
	
	bart: this should also fix the same bug for PIIXa and PIIXb
	
	Fixes bugzilla bug #3473.

	[PATCH] Race with iput and umount
	
	Jeff Mahoney notes:
	
	 "generic_shutdown_super() will happily call the ->put_super fs method,
	  destroying data structures still in use by the iput (->delete_inode)
	  in progress. 
	
	  The unlink path will call the ->unlink fs method, release the path
	  (thus dropping the reference to the vfsmount, and then call iput.
	  Since the vfsmount reference is dropped back to 1, a umount will
	  succeed, causing the superblock to be cleaned up."
	
	Arrgh...  Here's the trivial fix: do the final "iput()" a bit earlier in
	the unlink path. 
	
	Note: all places that go to exit1: or exit: will have NULL inode, so we
	are not leaking anything here and it is OK do that iput() early; indeed,
	the goal of that kludge was to postpone the final iput() past the
	unlocking the parent for the sake of contention if a wunch of bankers is
	doing parallel unlink() on files in the same directory and normally it
	would happen on dput() after vfs_unlink())

<alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk>
	[PATCH] Update termios to use per tty semaphore
	
	This makes the agreed change of termios locking to be semaphore based
	sleep locking. This is needed for USB in particular as it has to use
	messaging to issue terminal mode changes.
	
	This code passes Torvalds test grades 0, 1 and 2 (it looks ok, it
	compiles and it booted). It does mean that a driver cannot take an
	atomic peek at termios data during an interrupt. Nobody seems to be
	doing this although some of the driver receive paths for line
	disciplines will eventually want to (n_tty currently doesn't do this
	locked on the receive path). Since the ldisc is given a chance to copy
	any essential bits on the ->set_termios path this seems not to be a
	problem.

	[PATCH] vm: prevent kswapd pageout priority windup
	
	Now that we are correctly kicking off kswapd early (before the synch
	reclaim watermark), it is really doing asynchronous pageout.  This has
	exposed a latent problem where allocators running at the same time will
	make kswapd think it is getting into trouble, and cause too much swapping
	and suboptimal behaviour.
	
	This patch changes the kswapd scanning algorithm to use the same metrics
	for measuring pageout success as the synchronous reclaim path - namely, how
	much work is required to free SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages.
	
	This should make things less fragile all round, and has the added benefit
	that kswapd will continue running so long as memory is low and it is
	managing to free pages, rather than going through the full priority loop,
	then giving up.  Should result in much better behaviour all round,
	especially when there are concurrent allocators.
	
	akpm: the patch was confirmed to fix up the excessive swapout which Ray Bryant
	<raybry@sgi.com> has been reporting.

	[PATCH] Avoid unnecessary copy for EPOLL_CTL_DEL
	
	Ulrich Drepper points out that EPOLL_CTL_DEL doesn't need to copy any of
	the hash events.
	
	Also, we should specify in the man pages that a NULL is allowed in
	EPOLL_CTL_DEL.  Currently it does not say that. 
	
	Also, starting from when epoll uses rbtrees instead of hashes, the
	'size' hint passed to epoll_create(2) is no more used.  But since an API
	change has clearly to be excluded, I guess it'll stay as is.

	[PATCH] olympic driver: fix kernel oops on lobe fault
	
	It fixes an oops that results when a lobe fault is detected.  The oops
	occurs because a lobe fault triggers an interrupt which is handled
	in the current version of the driver by effectively shutting down the
	card, and freeing its requisite irq.  The former is fine, the latter
	is not, as its illegal to free an irq from within an interrupt context.
	
	I've fixed this bug by removing the call to free_irq from the interrupt
	handler (specifically the chunk around line 964 fixes that).  While I
	was in there I noticed that there were several other conditions in
	the interrupt handler that contained the same condition, so I made
	the same fix there.  I re-added.
	
	I also modified the contents of olympic_freemem (the chunk around line
	898 to correct a misuse of a pointer after it requisite memory has
	been free in the case the the adapter is re-initalized after a fault
	to prevent that oops.  And then I clean up the interrupt handler to
	simply use olympic_freemem from the close routine since the ring buffer
	doesn't need to be freed until the driver is closed.
	
	In addition to these changes I added a call to olympic init in
	olympic_open and reset the spinlock so the adapter can be reset and
	rejoin the ring without needing to rmmod/insmod the module.  Lastly I
	cleaned up the wait queue code so that the close routine didn't have
	to wait 60 seconds to close the adapter if a fatal fault has closed
	the adapter.

	In velocity_give_rx_desc(), there should be a wmb() between resetting the

	bytes isn't necessary, I just removed the function and directly set owner.

	The function doesn't handle synchronization. We should do wmb() before
	calling the function.  So, I think using bare assignment makes the fact

	In velocity_rx_srv(), velocity_rx_refill() could be called without any

	unreceived packets and pushing dirty pointer ahead of the current pointer.
	And vptr->rd_curr which is used by velocity_rx_refill() was updated after
	calling velocity_rx_refill() thus screwing receive descriptor ring.
	Also, between checking owner and reading the packet, rmb() is missing.

	the pfm_fasync() function must not lock the context and mask interrupts

	lead to sleeping, due to SLAB_KERNEL memory type, if no memory is available.
	Going to sleep with interrupts mask is not allowed otherwise you have a deadlock.
	The locking of the context is not necessary in this function because it is protected
	by caller via get_fd()/put_fd(). The async_queue is also protected. Serialization to
	pfm_fasync() is also ensured by caller. The fix is to drop the PROTECT_CTX()

	[NET]: Fix fddi_statistics for 64-bit
	
	 There is a problem with "struct fddi_statistics" for 64-bit systems.
	The starting members of the struct are expected to correspond to the
	respective members of "struct net_device_stats" (drivers for FDDI
	devices return "struct fddi_statistics" in the response to the
	get_stats() call of "struct net_device").  Unfortunately, due to using
	different types (u32 vs ulong) they do not.  "struct net_device_stats"
	is a public interface and as a result, bogus results are retrieved,
	e.g. for /proc/net/dev.
	
	 Here is my proposal to address the problem.  I think there is no
	point in duplicating the layout of "struct net_device_stats" in
	"struct fddi_statistics" as the former can simply be included as a
	member avoiding this problem and actually any possible discrepancy in
	the future.  This also preserves the layout of the structure for
	32-bit systems.

	[NET]: Generic network statistics/estimator
	
	Work done by Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> and
	Jamal Hadi Salim <hadi@cyberus.ca>
	
	The following patchset introduces generic network statistics for
	netlink users. It uses nested TLV which prevents further compatibility
	problems when introducing new statistics. Backward compatibility to
	existing TLV types TCA_STATS and TCA_XSTATS is ensured but can be
	easly removed once it is no longer needed. Therefore prior users of
	struct tc_stats can be converted to this API and existing userspace
	applications will not notice a difference while converted applications
	can use the new extendable statistic interface.
	
	Changes:
	- Add generic network statistics API for netlink users.
	- Introduces a generic rate estimator based on timers. Patch is based
	  on Jamals patch and adapted to the new generic network statistics
	  API.
	- Add documentation of generic network statistics and estimator API.

	[ARM] Fix missing definition for OVERCOMMIT_ALWAYS

<manfred@colorfullife.com>
	[NET]: Fix secure tcp sequence number generation
	
	Ted's recent random.c update broke the periodic rekeying:
	schedule_work() doesn't provide synchronization. Additionally the first
	syn values after boot are generated with secret 0 - not good.
	
	Attached is a big cleanup. Linus asked me to send to to you for merging:
	
	The tcp sequence number generator needs a random seed that is reset every
	few minutes. Since the sequence numbers should be constantly increasing,
	for each rekey 2^24 is added to the sequence number.
	The actual use of the sequence number generator is lockless,
	synchronization is achieved by having two copies of the control structure.
	
	The attached patch:
	- fixes a race in rekey_seq_generator(): schedule_work doesn't
	   provide synchronization.
	- Uses schedule_delayed_work() for the rekey: simplifies synchronization
	   and speeds up the hot path.
	- Adds a late_initcall for the first initialization after boot.
	   init_call would be too early, I've checked that the late_initcall runs
	   before net/ipv4/ipconfig.c, i.e. the BOOTP/DHCP autoconfiguration.

	This required adding code to fix things up as a result of

	[PATCH] x86_64: remove CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
	
	CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER has never worked on x86-64 because it never passed
	-fno-omit-frame-pointer to the compiler, and that is the only way to get a
	frame pointer on x86-64.
	
	It also causes complications with profiling. Drop it.

	[PATCH] x86_64: make in_gate_vma() safer
	
	x86-64 in_gate_vma would take a read lock on the VMA when the passed
	address was inside the 32bit vsyscall page.
	
	This would be called by get_user_pages, which already holds the mmap_sem.
	
	Unfortunately some callers of get_user_pages hold the mmap_sem for writing,
	which could in theory cause a deadlock.
	
	I think it can currently not happen because the only users who hold it for
	write before calling gup() are coredump and AIO in the ring setup, and both
	should not ever access the vsyscall page. 
	
	But not taking the semaphore is safer and avoid this here.

	[ARM] Add decompressor support for ARMv6 caches.

<mingo@elte.hu>
	[PATCH] Use cache_decay_ticks instead of a constant
	
	This patch, based on Ken Chen's patch, changes the default 2.5 msec
	migration-cutoff value to be based on cache_decay_ticks, which is what
	we used for a long time prior the sched-domains code.  (If an
	architecture does not set cache_decay_ticks then 2.5 msec is used.)
	
	This causes the following new migration-cutoff values on various SMP
	systems:
	
	 x86, variable:
	
	 2-way celeron 466MHz, 128K:        2.5 msec ->  1.0 msec
	 2-way/4-way 2.2 GHz P4 Xeon 1MB:   2.5 msec ->  2.0 msec
	 8-way P3 700 MHz Xeon 2MB:         2.5 msec ->  6.0 msec
	
	 x64, variable:
	
	 amd64: 2.0 GHz, 1MB:               2.5 msec -> 1.5 msec
	 em64t: 3.4 GHz, 1MB:               2.5 msec -> 3.0 msec
	
	 ppc64 [*]:                         2.5 msec -> 2.5 msec (constant)
	
	 ia64:                              2.5 msec -> 10.0 msec (constant)
	
	    [*] ppc64 does not set cache_decay_ticks so we fall back to the
	        default.
	
	I believe in light of previous testing we could attempt this for 2.6.9 as
	well.  (Note: that the 2.6.9-rc3 patch looks similar but needs to patch
	kernel/sched.c.  Note2: this patch is different from Ken's original one.)

	[PATCH] uml: fix major & minor handling in hostfs
	
	Currently hostfs passes the rdev value from stat() on the host as rdev
	value to return to stat() on the guest; but we cannot pass rdev as is
	because glibc and the kernel disagree about its definition.  So we must
	decode it in a major/minor couple with glibc macros and re-encode it in
	kernelspace code.

	[PATCH] PPC64 Replace cmp instructions with cmpw/cmpd
	
	There were a few places in assembly code in the ppc64 part of the
	kernel where we were using the old forms of the compare instruction
	(cmp, cmpi, cmpl, cmpli) which don't specify the operand size (word or
	doubleword).  These have been accepted for a long time for backward
	compatibility with the old POWER architecture (and defaulted to a
	32-bit comparison) but are now being rejected by the latest versions
	of binutils.  Some of them were actual bugs in that they were on
	things which were actually 64-bit values such as pointers (not that
	any of them actually caused a problem in practice).
	
	This patch replaces cmp{,l}{,i} with cmp{,l}[wd]{,i} as appropriate.
	The original patch was from Segher Boessenkool, slightly modified by
	me.

	The blacklist stuff is broken. When set_using_dma() calls into

	This of course succeeds, returning success to the caller of ->ide_dma_check().
	Not so good... It then uncondtionally calls ->ide_dma_on(), which turns on
	DMA for the drive.
	
	This moves the check to __ide_dma_on() so we also catch the buggy
	->ide_dma_check() defined by various chipset drivers.

	[PATCH] PCI resource allocation re-ordering
	
	This re-orders the PCI and ACPI IO resource assignment as suggested by
	Linus.
	
	With this patch, now the sequence of reserving resources is:
	 1. PCI claim BAR
	 2. ACPI reserve motherboard resources
	 3. PNP reserve motherboard resources
	 4. PCI allocate resources for uninitialized PCI devices
	
	This way the kernel allocates new PCI resources after it has full
	knowledge of the resource state, and at the same time allows ACPI and
	PnP to be run _after_ we've filled in our knowledge about pre-allocated
	resources. 
	
	The way it is done is to make the last phase of the original PCI assign
	resources code to be an 'fs_initcall', along with the ACPI and PnP
	initializations.
	
	Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

<torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org>
	Use "request_resource()" to properly fix up PCI resource clashes.
	
	This is made possible by the previous resource allocation ordering
	patch.
	
	Now that we run the pre-existing PCI resource discovery _before_
	ACPI resources have been added, we should not "insert" the resources
	into any existing tree. If they clash with existing resources, we
	should re-allocate them (later, when we have the full resource map).
