This adds support for OLPC XO hardware. Open Firmware on XOs don't contain the VSA, so it is necessary to emulate the PCI BARs in the kernel. This also adds functionality for running EC commands, and a CONFIG_OLPC. A number of OLPC drivers depend upon CONFIG_OLPC. olpc_ec_timeout is a hack to work around Embedded Controller bugs.

Make eCryptfs key module subsystem respect namespaces. Since I will be removing the netlink interface in a future patch, I just made changes to the netlink.c code so that it will not break the build. With my recent patches, the kernel module currently defaults to the device handle interface rather than the netlink interface. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: export free_user_ns()] Signed-off-by:

Update the versioning information. Make the message types generic. Add an outgoing message queue to the daemon struct. Make the functions to parse and write the packet lengths available to the rest of the module. Add functions to create and destroy the daemon structs. Clean up some of the comments and make the code a little more consistent with itself. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: printk fixes] Signed-off-by:

A regular device file was my real preference from the get-go, but I went with netlink at the time because I thought it would be less complex for managing send queues (i.e., just do a unicast and move on). It turns out that we do not really get that much complexity reduction with netlink, and netlink is more heavyweight than a device handle. In addition, the netlink interface to eCryptfs has been broken since 2.6.24. I am assuming this is a bug in how eCryptfs uses netlink, since the other in-kernel users of netlink do not seem to be having any problems. I have had one report of a user successfully using eCryptfs with netlink on 2.6.24, but for my own systems, when starting the userspace daemon, the initial helo message sent to the eCryptfs kernel module results in an oops right off the bat. I spent some time looking at it, but I have not yet found the cause. The netlink interface breaking gave me the motivation to just finish my patch to migrate to a regular device handle. If I cannot find out soon why the netlink interface in eCryptfs broke, I am likely to just send a patch to disable it in 2.6.24 and 2.6.25. I would like the device handle to be the preferred means of communicating with the userspace daemon from 2.6.26 on forward. This patch: Functions to facilitate reading and writing to the eCryptfs miscellaneous device handle. This will replace the netlink interface as the preferred mechanism for communicating with the userspace eCryptfs daemon. Each user has his own daemon, which registers itself by opening the eCryptfs device handle. Only one daemon per euid may be registered at any given time. The eCryptfs module sends a message to a daemon by adding its message to the daemon's outgoing message queue. The daemon reads the device handle to get the oldest message off the queue. Incoming messages from the userspace daemon are immediately handled. If the message is a response, then the corresponding process that is blocked waiting for the response is awakened. Signed-off-by:

A command that causes a line feed while a background color is active, such as perl -e 'print "x" x 60, "\e[44m", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"' and perl -e 'print "x" x 40, "\e[44m\n", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"' causes the line that was started as a result of the line feed to be completely filled with the currently active background color instead of the default color. When scrolling, part of the current screen is memcpy'd/memmove'd to the new region, and the new line(s) that will appear as a result are cleared using memset. However, the lines are cleared with vc->vc_video_erase_char, causing them to be colored with the currently active background color. This is different from X11 terminal emulators which always paint the new lines with the default background color (e.g. `xterm -bg black`). The clear operation (\e[1J and \e[2J) also use vc_video_erase_char, so a new vc->vc_scrl_erase_char is introduced with contains the erase character used for scrolling, which is built from vc->vc_def_color instead of vc->vc_color.

Instead of using the malloc() and free() wrappers needed by the lib/inflate.c code for allocations, simply use kmalloc() and kfree() in the initramfs code. This is needed for a further lib/inflate.c-related cleanup patch that will remove the malloc() and free() functions. Take that opportunity to remove the useless kmalloc() return value cast.

Fix longstanding lock inversion in drop_pagecache_sb by dropping inode_lock before calling __invalidate_mapping_pages(). We just have to make sure inode won't go away from under us by keeping reference to it and putting the reference only after we have safely resumed the scan of the inode list.

This version brings a few fixes for the extern checks, and a couple of new checks. Of note: - false is now recognised as a 0 assignment in static/external assignments, - printf format strings including %L are reported, - a number of fixes for the extern in .c file detector which had temporarily lost its ability to detect variables; undetected due to the loss of its test. Andy Whitcroft (8): Version: 0.18 false should trip 0 assignment checks tests: reinstate missing tests tests: allow specification of the file extension for a test fix extern checks for variables check for and report %Lu, %Ld, and %Li ensure we only start a statement on lines with some content extern spacing Signed-off-by:Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by:

This can be triggered with root help only, but... Register the ":text:E::txt::/root/cat.txt:' rule in binfmt_misc (by root) and try launching the cat.txt file (by anyone) :) The result is - the endless recursion in the load_misc_binary -> open_exec -> load_misc_binary chain and stack overflow. There's a similar problem with binfmt_script, and there's a sh_bang memner on linux_binprm structure to handle this, but simply raising this in binfmt_misc may break some setups when the interpreter of some misc binaries is a script. So the proposal is to turn sh_bang into a bit, add a new one (the misc_bang) and raise it in load_misc_binary. After this, even if we set up the misc -> script -> misc loop for binfmts one of them will step on its own bang and exit. Signed-off-by:

SysRQ-P is not always useful on SMP systems, since it usually ends up showing the backtrace of a CPU that is doing just fine, instead of the backtrace of the CPU that is having problems. This patch adds SysRQ show-all-cpus(L), which shows the backtrace of every active CPU in the system. It skips idle CPUs because some SMP systems are just too large and we already know what the backtrace of the idle task looks like. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:
