This fixes the lockup. The bug happened because reparenting in the CLONE_THREAD case was done in a fundamentally non-atomic way, which was asking for various races to happen: eg. the target parent gets reparented to the currently exiting thread ... (the non-CLONE_THREAD case is safe because nothing reparents init.) the solution is to make all of reparenting atomic (including the forget_original_parent() bit) - this is possible with some reorganization done in signal.c and exit.c. This also made some of the loops simpler.

This merges the changes from 2.4-ac that allow drivers to enable (and mark as used) only a subset of PCI resources, for those drivers that need it (at this point apparently only the i845 IDE controller).

In the 2.5.33->2.5.34 step someone removed "export-objs" from drivers/char/ftape/lowlevel/Makefile, which makes it impossible to build ftape as a module since is _does_ have a number of EXPORT_SYMBOL's. This reverts that change.

The 2.5 floppy driver has for a long time has two init/exit bugs: 1. It calls register_sys_device() on init, but fails to call unregister_sys_device() in exit. This leads to data structure corruption if floppy is a module and it gets unloaded. 2. If calls register_sys_device() early on init, but fails to call unregister_sys_device() if init fails. Again, this leads to data structure corruption. The patch below fixes both these problems.

drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c is the only file (apart from include/linux/fcntl.h) that includes asm/fcntl.h. This changes that and should have no affect. I need to do this before I consolidate the asm/fcntl.h files into linux/fcntl.h (coming next - again).

I've been playing with different HZ values in the 2.4 kernel for a while now, and apparantly Linus also has decided to introduce a USER_HZ constant (I used CLOCKS_PER_SEC) while raising the HZ value on x86 to 1000. On x86 timekeeping has shown to be relative fragile when raising HZ (OK, I tried HZ=2048 which is quite high) because of the way the interrupt timer is configured to fire HZ times each second. This is done by configuring a divisor in the timer chip (LATCH) which divides a certain clock (1193180) and makes the chip fire interrupts at the resulting frequency. Now comes the catch: NTP requires a clock accuracy of 500 ppm. For some HZ values the clock is not accurate enough to meet this requirement, hence NTP won't work well. An example HZ value is 1020 which exceeds the 500 ppm requirement. In this case the best approximation is 1019.8 Hz. the xtime.tv_usec value is raised with a value of 980 each tick which means that after one second the tv_usec value has increased with 999404 (should be 1000000) which is an accuracy of 596 ppm. Some more examples: HZ Accuracy (ppm) ---- -------------- 100 17 1000 151 1024 632 2000 687 2008 343 2011 18 2048 1249 What I've been doing is replace tv_usec by tv_nsec, meaning xtime is now a timespec instead of a timeval. This allows the accuracy to be improved by a factor of 1000 for any (well ... any?) HZ value. Of course all kinds of calculations had te be improved as well. The ACTHZ constantant is introduced to approximate the actual HZ value, it's used to do some approximations of other related values.

during the initcall sequence, after all CPUs have been brought up. mtrr_init() calls a static init_other_cpus(), which fires off a function on all other cpus to replicate the state across all of them. arch/i386/kernel/smpboot.c::smp_callin() had the following: #ifdef CONFIG_MTRR /* * Must be done before calibration delay is computed */ mtrr_init_secondary_cpu (); #endif I couldn't figure this one out. The P4 manual says nothing about this, nor find any other documentation about it. The P4 manual says only that state must be synchronized across all CPUs, which it is. And, it happens before anything else is executed on the other CPUs, and before any devices or drivers have been brought up. The cyrix mtrr code was also updated to handle this style of SMP initialization.

- The early startup code was changed so smp_prepare_cpus() is now called before do_basic_setup(). do_basic_setup() is where mtrr_init() is called, which mtrr_init_secondary_cpu() is dependent on being called. - mtrr_init_boot_cpu() was removed from the AP startup code. This was a SMP-only hack that made sure mtrr_init() happened when SMP was enabled. That's right - two different code paths to do the same thing, obscured by compile-time defines. The appended patch makes sure mtrr_init() is called before smp_prepare_cpus(). It's ugly, and I'll work on a cleaner solution, but James: could you try it and see if it fixes your performance issues?

I added a bug in 2.5.23 when cleaning up something that was broken ... it wasn't broken in quite the way I had thought at the time! This fixes a problem some folk have reported recently with ISO-IN, by masking a common non-error outcome. Please merge to Linus' tree, on top of the one patch you already have queued. Thanks to Nemosoft for such quick turnaround on testing!

This patch fixes a problem with big endian machines and scanner drivers which use the SCANNER_IOCTL_CTRLMSG ioctl. The big endian to little endian swap was done twice, resulting in a no-op.

Also, have you sent in the one-line fix I found for the abort bug? Andries found that it cured his BUG_ON problem. In case you didn't save a copy of it, I've included it below.

Somewhere around 2.5.31 the method for setting and clearing interrupts changed: From- To- save_flags(flags); local_irq_save(flags); cli(); restore_flags(flags); local_irq_restore(flags); Though bordering on trivial, including toshiba support with stock 2.5.34 fails to compile, which this patch seems to fix. This patch fixes this issue and has worked reliably for me under 2.5.31, though it is untested on 2.5.32 and 2.5.33 because I didn't manage to get those to work. A note to those that are a bit rough on kernel patch newbies.... submitting a kernel patch for the very first time is a rather intimidating experience so please don't chew my head off unless its absolutely necessary. See my point? I was so worried that Cristoph Hellwig is going to come to my house and eat me I forgot to include the patch itself. :)
