The patch to add them keeps on getting applied, over and over again ;) Hopefully no more.

This removes a bogus hack from the radeon IRQ handler. There is a better fix from myself and benh in DRM CVS but I'll wait until 2.6.13-rc so it gets more testing. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@linux.ie>

Despite all the care lately in making the powermac sleep/wakeup as robust as possible, there is still a nasty related to the use of cpufreq on PMU based machines. Unfortunately, it affects paulus old powerbook so I have to fix it :) We didn't manage to understand what is precisely going on, it leads to memory corruption and might have to do with RAM not beeing properly refreshed when a cpufreq transition is done right before the sleep. The best workaround (and less intrusive at this point) we could come up with is included in this patch. We basically do _not_ force a switch to high speed on suspend anymore (that is what is causing the problem) on those machines. We still force a speed switch on wakeup (since we don't know what speed we are coming back from sleep at, and that seems to work fine). Since, during this short interval, the actual CPU speed might be incorrect, we also hack around by multiplying loops_per_jiffy by 2 (max speed factor on those machines) during early wakeup stage to make sure udelay's during that time aren't too short. For after 2.6.12, we'll change udelay implementation to use the CPU timebase (which is always constant) instead like we do on ppc64 and thus get rid of all those problems.

My patch from a few weeks back (now in mainline), called "Cleanup skbs to prevent unregister_netdevice() hanging", can cause our TX timeout code to fire on machines with lots of VLANs (because it takes > 2 seconds between when we stop the queues and when we're finished stopping the connections). When that happens the TX timeout code freaks out and does a WARN_ON() because as far as it's concerned there shouldn't be a TX timeout happening, which is fair enough. I have a "proper" fix for this, which is to a) do refcounting on connections and b) implement a proper ack timer so we don't keep unacked skbs lying around for ever. But for 2.6.12 I propose just supressing the WARN_ON(). Users will still see the "NETDEV WATCHDOG" warning, but that's not nearly as bad as a WARN_ON() which users interpret as an Oops.

MSI functionality is broken on the GC_LE x86 chipset that Serverworks developed and that is being used in various platforms today. Broadcom is going to push out to the kernel MSI enabled Gigabit drivers (in the very near future), and we would like to make sure that MSI does not get enabled on any platforms using the GC_LE chipset (device id 0x17). Following the AMD 8131 example, I am including a patch to disable MSI functionality when a GCNB_LE is detected. Please let me know if there are any issues with this. This is a permanent fix for this chipset, as the hardware will not be updated. Signed-off-by: Narendra Sankar <nsankar@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

current->blocked will be set to the value of current->thread_info->flags if the cmpxchg to update thread_info->flags fails. For performance reasons the store into current->blocked was placed in the cmpxchg loop. However, the cmpxchg overwrites the register holding the value to be stored. In the rare case of a retry the value of thread_info->flags will be written into current->blocked. The fix is to use another register so that the register containing the current->blocked value is not overwritten.

ftdi_sio: Avoid losing bytes at tty-ldisc. This patch was originally developed by Daniel Smertnig. I (Ian Abbott) made a few changes. It has been tested by both Daniel and I, at least for raw, non-canonical receive data processing. Here is Daniel's original description of the patch: === During a project in which I was using a FTDI 232BM to transmit data at relative high speeds (625kBit/s), I noticed a problem where data was lost even if flow control was enabled: The FTDI-Driver receives 512 Bytes of data over USB at a time, which consists of 8 64-Byte packets. Subtracting the 2 bytes of status information included in each packet this gives 496 "real" data bytes per read. This data is passed (indirectly, via the flip buffers) to the tty line discipline which takes care of throttling when there the free buffer space reaches TTY_THRESHOLD_THROTTLE (128). Because the FTDI driver processes up to 496 bytes at a time, throttling won't happen in time and the line discipline will discard the remaining bytes. To avoid this the patch passes data in 62-byte blocks to the tty layer and checks the available space in the ldisc-buffers. If there isn't enough free space, processing the rest of the data is delayed using a workqueue. Note: The original problem should be easily reproducible with a userspace program which does slow & small reads. === Signed-off-by: Ian Abbott <abbotti@mev.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Daniel Smertnig <daniel.smertnig@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

This smoothes two imperfections: - Increase number of LUNs per device from 4 to 9. The best solution would be to remove this limit altogether, but that has to wait until the time when more than 26 hosts are allowed. - Replace mdelay with msleep in a probing routine.

Problem: Incorrect md5sum when using ATAPI PIO mode to verify a distro CD. Root cause: sg traverse problem. In __atapi_pio_bytes(), if qc->cursg++ is increased and "goto next_page" is executed, then sg is not updated to the new qc->cursg and the old sg is overwritten with the new data. Changes: - Replace "goto next_page" with "goto next_sg" to make sg updated. Signed-off-by: Albert Lee <albertcc@tw.ibm.com>

This patch fixes some bugs in the ppc64 PER_LINUX32 implementation, noted by Juergen Kreileder: * uname(2) doesn't respect PER_LINUX32, it returns 'ppc64' instead of 'ppc' * Child processes of a PER_LINUX32 process don't inherit PER_LINUX32 Along the way I took the opportunity to move things around so that sys_ppc32.c only has 32-bit syscall emulation functions and to remove the obsolete "fakeppc" command line option.

There've been reports of problems with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and the high floating point partition. This is caused by the possibility of preemption and rescheduling on a different processor while saving or restioirng the high partition. The only places where the FPU state is touched are in ptrace, in switch_to(), and where handling a floating-point exception. In switch_to() preemption is off. So it's only in trap.c and ptrace.c that we need to prevent preemption. Here is a patch that adds commentary to make the conditions clear, and adds appropriate preempt_{en,dis}able() calls to make it so. In trap.c I use preempt_enable_no_resched(), as we're about to return to user space where the preemption flag will be checked anyway.

It turns out that we need to check for pending signals when a newly forked process is run for the first time. With strace -f, strace needs to know about the forked process before it gets going. If it doesn't, then it ptraces some bogus values into its registers, and the process segfaults. So, I added calls to interrupt_end, which does that, plus checks for reschedules. There shouldn't be any of those, but x86 does the same thing, so I'm copying that behavior to be safe.
