From: Bart Samwel <bart@samwel.tk> Currently the ACPI binding script in the Laptop Mode doc always says "20 seconds" and "2 hours" for the timeouts it uses. This is incorrect if the user changed the config values, so we print something more general.

From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com> PMD_SIZE is not a compile-time constant on sparc. Use min() in there so that the cluster size will be evaluated at runtime if the architecture insists on doing that.

From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> The 32bit generic nops added with a previous patch to x86-64 alternative() are not completely 64bit clean. This caused crashes in some cases. This patch reverts this broken change.

Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> sys_remap_file_pages is declared as asmlinkage in mm/fremap.c, but is the one syscall declared without asmlinkage in include/linux/syscalls.h.

Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> It seems eccentric to implement MAP_POPULATE only on PROT_NONE mappings: do_mmap_pgoff is passing down prot, then sys_remap_file_pages verifies it's not set. I guess that's an oversight from when we realized that the prot arg to sys_remap_file_pages was misdesigned. There's another oddity whose heritage is harder for me to understand, so please let me leave it to you: sys_remap_file_pages is declared as asmlinkage in mm/fremap.c, but is the one syscall declared without asmlinkage in include/linux/syscalls.h.

From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> The following is a patch to fix a locking problem in ACL/xattr code. It manifests when a user attempts to set an xattr on a file which they do not own, and on which an ACL is applied. What happens is this: reiserfs_setxattr [write lock inode xattr sem] ->xattr_set -> lookup -> __reiserfs_permission [if conditions above are met, and need_lock= is unset, read lock inode xattr sem] *lockup* Since we already keep track of when to lock during permission calls, the fix is simple: just make the locking conditional as it was before.

From: Ben Fennema <bfennema@falcon.csc.calpoly.edu> The problem occured when files were stored on the disc in 16-bit per character mode when all the upper bits were 0. The fs module converted the file name given by the user to a 8-bit per character string to compare, so the comparison always failed. The patch maps the file from disc into the current locale and then compares it directly to the file name given by the user.

From: Michael Hunold <hunold@convergence.de> The attached patch changes my "Multimedia eXtension Board" (MXB) Video4Linux-driver to use the standard saa7111 video decoder infrastructure (to which I recently submitted changes through Ronald Bultje) instead of some home-brewn direct-access stuff. Nothing serious, but it removes code duplication and makes the code use the video decoder api.

From: <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> init/initramfs.c::do_skip() has an off-by-one that leads to unpacking failures for some gzipped cpio images. We have static int __init do_skip(void) { if (this_header + count <= next_header) { eat(count); return 1; } else { eat(next_header - this_header); state = next_state; return 0; } } and that <= should actually be <. It almost never matters, since if we hit the boundary case (header ending exactly on the gunzip window end) the current variant will simply end up doing extra call of do_skip() when we get to the next window and that will finish the work (assign state). The only exception is when we hit that in the last window. That is, if there's nothing after the final header (trailer). Then we miss the final state transition (Skip -> Reset) and get "junk in archive" panic. Normally cpio(1) pads the image to multiple of 512, so we actually have a bunch of zeroes after the trailer. And that almost always saves our butts - trailer is followed by zeroes, so we get to Reset state just fine. So we never see that on small in-kernel image (it's less than 512 bytes, so it gets a lot of padding) and we almost never see that on external ones (1:127 odds of hitting the bug).

From: Pavel Machek <pavel@suse.cz> swsusp contained rather nasty bug where it killed machine when intel-agp or anything else split kernel 4MB mapping. Herbert Xu diagnosed this. Fixed by switching to "known good" mapping for during suspend/resume.

Signed-off-by: Petr Vandrovec <vandrove@vc.cvut.cz> Some people expressed interest in having possibility to set CRTC <-> outputs mapping at boot time, without having to use 'matroxset' later after kernel boots. This patch adds option 'video=matroxfb:outputs:XYZ', where X sets which CRTC will connect to primary output, Y sets secondary output and Z sets DVI output. In addition to that I also added missing memset() into maven, which was broken since i2c was kobjectified.
