dpm_runtime_suspend holds dpm_sem and calls dpm_runtime_resume which
deadlocks.  Directly call runtime_resume instead.

GNU make 3.78 reproducible segfaults when building kernel 2.6.

See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107333742902438&w=2

Therefore, the minimum requirement for GNU make has to be raised in
Documentation/Changes.

GNU make 3.79.1 works.

From: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>

In 2.6.3, cleanups arrived, and they got test for invalid frequencies
wrong.

Only first frequency is allowed to be < FID_TABLE_BOTTOM, but due to
bug it cleanups it allowed no frequencies < FID_TABLE_BOTTOM. This
fixes it.

Lots of these:

fs/partitions/efi.c:387: warning: long unsigned int format, u64 arg (arg 2)
fs/partitions/efi.c:387: warning: long unsigned int format, u64 arg (arg 3)
fs/partitions/efi.c:387: warning: long unsigned int format, u64 arg (arg 2)
fs/partitions/efi.c:387: warning: long unsigned int format, u64 arg (arg 3)
fs/partitions/efi.c:395: warning: long unsigned int format, u64 arg (arg 2)
fs/partitions/efi.c:395: warning: long unsigned int format, u64 arg (arg 3)

because it is assuming that you can print a u64 with %ld on 64-bit machines.

Now that we coalesce ACKs for outgoing packets, the v.110 code needs to
look at the size it's given rather than assuming it'll get precisely one
callback for each packet sent...

Removes unnecessary min/max macros and use kernel.h macros instead.

instead.

Hi list,
while checking 2.6.1 for missing checks(). fs/jffs/inode-v23.c
got overlooked somehow.

This patch fixes:
2 unguarded kmem_cache_create
1 unguarded proc_mkdir

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>

Looking at d_splice_alias, it appears that the security_d_instantiate call
in the first case (where it ends up moving an entry in place of the given
dentry) should be passing 'new' rather than 'dentry' to ensure that the
passed dentry is associated with the inode.  This patch should fix the
problem.

(Addresses bugzilla #2153)

ext3_error() sleeps, so don't call it with the lock held.

From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>,
      From Suresh.B.Siddha

Fix another bug caused by the recent IA32e merge.  The full L1 cache size
padding of the GDT didn't work with smaller cache line sizes.  Just revert
that.

I must admit I still don't understand why it didn't work, but it's better
to have a working system for now.

Even master's books bring errors :-).  URL has the errata and more

This patch tries to clean up init section usage in
arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mtrr/*.c.

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>

When compiling the IPMI drivers on m68k, I needed a few more includes:

  - <asm/irq.h> (for disable_irq_nosync() and enable_irq())

  - <linux/types.h> (for size_t)

  - <asm/system.h> (for printk())

Attached is a patch that replaces the #ifndef CONFIG_SYSV syscall stubs
with cond_syscall stubs.

From: Paul Clements <Paul.Clements@SteelEye.com>

This patch removes the PARANOIA define (it was always defined anyway).  It
also removes the requests_in/out counters (which weren't always accurate,
and are superfluous anyway, since the block layer keeps its own in_flight
counter).  Also some minor cleanup of comments.

From: Paul Clements <Paul.Clements@SteelEye.com>

This patch fixes the initial set_capacity call so that it matches nbd's
internal device size (nbd_device->bytesize).

From: bert hubert <ahu@ds9a.nl>

Current bitkeeper features a cryptoloop which is not safe for journaled
file systems and also a Device Mapper target which is.  The patch below
updates Kconfig to that effect.

If you pass a huge nlen value into sys_sysctl() it will loop for hours
printing billions of question marks, so range-check the arguments.

Also, remove the code which informs the user that the sysctl is obsolete: it
allows unprivileged users to spam the logs.

Clean up arch/m68k/mm/Makefile logic

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>

Update M68k configuration logic:
  - Introduce CONFIG_MMU_MOTOROLA and CONFIG_MMU_SUN3
  - Move Sun-3 config selection to the top since all other platforms conflict
    with it
  - Sun-3 implies MMU_SUN3
  - All other platforms imply MMU_MOTOROLA
  - Sun-3 implies M68020
  - Sun-3x implies M68030
  - Sun-3 kernels cannot support 68030, 68040, or 68060

Fix a module unload oops, as well as fix some return codes (so nbd-client

sys_shmat() need to be declared asmlinkage.  This causes breakage when we
actually get the proper prototypes into caller's scope.

From: Terence Ripperda <tripperda@nvidia.com>

When coming out of standby, some chipsets lose their configuration in pci
config space.  this includes not just the agp master register being lost, but
chipset-specific information, such as the physical address of the gatt table
and other settings.  Calling this configure routine again restores those
settings.

Dave said he was adding chipsets to this list on an "as needed and tested"
basis.  I ran across this problem I believe on a Dell Inspiron 4100 with
nv11.  (there had been some similar problems with specific nv11 systems when
doing apm with the 2.4 kernel, I suspect, but haven't been able to verify,
it's the same problem).
