The vmap vmalloc rework in 2.5 had a unintended side effect. vmalloc uses kmalloc now to allocate an array with a list of pages. kmalloc has a 128K maximum. This limits the vmalloc maximum size to 64MB on a 64bit system with 4K pages. That limit causes problems with other subsystems, e.g. iptables relies on allocating large vmallocs for its rule sets. This is a bug IMHO - on 64bit platforms there shouldn't be such a low limit on the vmalloc size. And even on 32bit it's too small for custom kernels with enlarged vmalloc area. Another problem is that this makes vmalloc unreliable. After the system has been running for some time it is unlikely that kmalloc will be able to allocate >order 2 pages due to memory fragmentation. This patch takes the easy way out for fixing this by just allocating this array with vmalloc when it is larger than a page. While more complicated and intrusive solutions would be possible they didn't use vmalloc recursively they didn't seem it worth to handle this very infrequent case. Please note that the vmalloc recursion is strictly bounded because each nested allocation will generate a much smaller stack frame. Also the kernel stack can handle even a few recursion steps easily because vmalloc has only a small stack frame.

This fixes an issue related to the second PCI host controller working on MPC8555/41 systems. We track the last PCI bus number on PCI1 so that the PCI2 host controller can properly exclude itself at the right time, exclusion should occur after initial setup so that the early pci config cycles in setting PCI2 actually get to the controller.

My recent do_munmap hugetlb fix has proved inadequate. There are other places (madvise, mbind, mlock, mprotect) where split_vma is called. Only mprotect excludes a hugetlb vma: the others are in danger of splitting at a misaligned address, causing later BUGs. So move the ~HPAGE_MASK check from do_munmap to split_vma itself; and fix up those places (madvise and mlock) which expect split_vma can fail only with -ENOMEM, and wish to convert that to -EAGAIN. (It appears genuine that some of these syscalls should be failing with -ENOMEM and some with -EAGAIN, so respect those behaviours.) madvise_dontneed doesn't use split_vma, but is equally in danger of causing a hugetlb BUG via zap_page_range. Whereas elsewhere the patch is permissive (allowing the operation on a hugetlb vma even when pointless, so long as it doesn't missplit it), here we must use -EINVAL on any hugetlb vma, since a page fault would hit the BUG in its nopage.

This patch fixes the problem reported in: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110798711911645&w=2 The 5700 link problem was caused by reading uninitialized values in sram and causing capacitive coupling mode to be enabled by mistake.

This fixes the mincore syscall in three ways: (1) It moves as much argument checking outside of the semaphore-holding region as possible. (2) It checks the region parameters against TASK_SIZE so that a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit platform will get the right error when calling this syscall on a region that overlaps the end of the 32-bit address space. (3) It tidies up the VMA checking loop a little. Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-Off-By: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

do_i2c_rdwr_ioctl() does two compat_alloc_user_space(). That doesn't work; no state is kept and second allocation will ignore the first one (i.e. give overlapping chunk of user stack).

The mcd driver drives only very old hardware (some single and double speed CD drives that were connected either via the soundcard or a special ISA card), and the mcdx driver offers more functionality for the same hardware. My plan is to mark MCD as broken in 2.6.11 and if noone complains completely remove this driver some time later.

It adds the sleep support for newer powermacs, improve power saving on some laptops, makes use of the new fbdev modelist management routines, and fixes a few backlight related issues. I tested it on a thinkpad T30 and a few PPC boxes with success. It should be less invasive than the previous one (I don't try to restore the mode on exit, that is what breaks the thinkpad and possibly other stuffs that boot in VGA text mode), plus fixed a couple of bugs in the mode detection code. I also reverted the memory map fix on ppc since it doesn't work properly on some recent laptops where the firmware sets a tiled display. I'll rework that completely to update the memory map as part of the mode setting later. That should fix various issues when switching with X/DRI on x86.

This patch updates aty128fb power management code to the changes of the powermac sleep mecanism. It makes the driver use the new hook for early wakeup, adds the call to the arch code indicating wether it can wakeup the chip, etc... This patch shouldn't break non-ppc, but this should be tested.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
The new PowerMac sleep code provides an arch hook that can be used by video drivers on laptops to bring back the screen very early, pretty much before anything else. This basically turns reports of the style "my laptop doesn't wakeup" to "I get this or this oops/error/panic on wakeup", making fixing the PM related bugs possible on a whole range of them. However, the fbdev wakeup code triggers WARN_ON's in the VT subsystem if called without the console semaphore when redrawing the screen (I added those warnings a couple of kernel versions ago), and we can't call acquire_console_sem() since we are so early in the wakeup process that we are considered as in_atomic() (we hold irqs off too). This patch addds a try_acquire_console_sem() function that can be used by those video drivers that implement this early wakeup hook. If the acquire fails (which should never happen in practice), wakeup is delayed to the normal PCI callback which does a blocking acquire_console_sem().

In linux 2.6, PTRACE_SETOPTIONS is redefined to 0x4200, while the old 2.4 value (21) is still available as PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS. So, if UML uses PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, an UML-kernel built on a 2.6 won't run on a 2.4 host. Hence we must use PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS. For cases when PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS does not exists (i.e. 2.4 host or archs which miss it because they don't have a "deprecated" value), we fallback this macro to PTRACE_SETOPTIONS.
