      [PATCH] possible fix for broken floppy driver, take 2 · d0f0cde1
      Mikael Pettersson authored
      Here is an updated patch for the floppy driver which got broken in
      2.5.13. "read block 0 on ->revalidate()" is now implemented through
      the bio interface, following a suggestion by Christoph Hellwig.
      
      I still cannot explain why block_dev.c's ->bd_block_size change
      caused data corruption, but removing that code fixes the floppy
      driver and doesn't seem to cause any problems on my test box.

      kbuild: Fix command line printing · 833b7708

      If our command line contains an ';', we'd only print half of
      it and execute the other half - not good.

      [PATCH] m68k mmu update · dee4f8ff
      Roman Zippel authored
      This patch removes the quicklist support and updates m68k to the recent
      page table and tlb interface changes.
      It also includes some smaller cleanups:
      - turn "extern inline" into "static inline"
      - convert some macros into inline functions

      Simplify linking/building objects in subdirectories · aa2ac864
      Kai Germaschewski authored
      New-style Makefiles have a nice way of declaring objects
      which need to be built either built-in or as modules:
      
              obj-$(CONFIG_EEPRO100) += eepro100.o
      
      However, handling objects in subdirectories, which need to be
      built and linked is not as nice:
      
              subdir-$(CONFIG_E100) += e100
      
              ifeq ($(CONFIG_E100),y)
                obj-y += e100/built-in.o
              endif
      
      This means we descend into the subdirectory when building
      vmlinux / modules, depending on CONFIG_XXX. When we are building
      vmlinux we also need to link whatever has been built in the
      subdirectory, so we add it to $(obj-y) at the appropriate place
      (link order is important).
      
      Now, the extension below allows to rewrite the second case into
      
               obj-$(CONFIG_E100) += e100/
      
      which looks much nicer ;-) Existing behavior is not changed, and the
      only prerequisite to using the extension above is that the O_TARGET in
      the subdir is named "built-in.o".

      Tim Schmielau <tim@physik3.uni-rostock.de>: move jiffies from sched.h to it's own jiffies.h:
        Move 'jiffies' from sched.h to their own header.
        Then pull the sched.h dependency from 67 files that include sched.h for
        no apparent reason other than the jiffies declaration.
      
        Move the time_[before,after}{_eq}() macros from timer.h to jiffies.h,
        since there are *no* files using them that don't also use jiffies.
      
        Many more sched.h dependencies can be killed after capable(),
        request_irq(), and free_irq() are moved out of <linux/sched.h>.

      [PATCH] smp_call_function doco fix · 57078435
      Rusty Russell authored
      Trivial patch update against 2.5.17:
      dipankar@in.ibm.com: smp_call_function change:
        My earlier patch fixed only i386. As per Dave Miller's suggestion,
        I have fixed smp_call_function for other smp architectures too.
      
        Description
        -----------
        Going by the documentation and use of _bh version of spin_lock(),
        smp_call_function() is allowed to be called from BH context,
        We can run into a deadlock with some locks if we do so.
        This because reader-writer locks can sometimes be used optimally
        by not disabling irqs while taking the reader side if only the
        reader side of the lock is taken from irq context.
      
              CPU #0                                CPU #1
      
              read_lock(&tasklist_lock)
                                               write_lock_irq(&tasklist_lock)
                                               [spins with interrupt disabled]
              [Interrupted by BH]
              smp_call_function() for BH
                   handler
                                               [ doesn't take the IPI]
      
        So, cpu #1 doesn't take the IPI and cpu #0 spinwaits
        for the IPI handler to start, resulting in a deadlock.
      
        The last time I looked, I couldn't see smp_call_function() being
        called from BH context anywhere. So, there is no immediate problem.
        However it seems right to correct the documentation and also not
        disable BH while taking the call lock since it isn't necessary.
        This patch does exactly that.
      
        Thanks

      [PATCH] sigio delivery fix · c1140e63
      Rusty Russell authored
      Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>: fix for sigio delivery:
        Hi Linus,
      
        This patch means that we keep the upper 16 bits of the si_code
        field of the siginfo structure that is delivered with and SIGIOs.
        We need this so that the code that actually copies the siginfo_t
        out to user mode knows which part of the union to copy.  We currently
        get away with out this information because we always copy at least
        two ints worth of the union, but this s an ugly hack and I would
        like to tidy it up.
      
        Comments?

        Hello,
      
         It seems all Ethernet device drivers were bulk-converted to use the new
        common CRC functions.  I discovered declance used incorrect endianness to
        calculate the sum for its multicast filter and had a few alignment
        problems there.  I fixed these bugs in the MIPS/Linux CVS tree which is at
        2.4.18 now.  Here is the respective update for the official kernel.
      
         The bugs make the filter non-functional.  Please apply.
