This should resolve these bug reports of the modem not working: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4355 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/connect-script-failed-on-ppp-go-123975/ I don't have hardware to test this, but the initial report in the kernel bugzilla indicates that this change fixed the problem.

Several of the RTC drivers are exporting binary "nvram" files in sysfs. Such NVRAM (or on many systems, EEPROM) data is often initialized during system manufacture to hold data about identity (serial numbers, Ethernet addresses, etc), configuration, calibration, and so forth. This patch improves integrity and security of those files: - Correctly initializes the size in one of the two cases where that was not yet being done. - Improves system security/integrity by making this state not be world-writable by default. Letting arbitrary userspace code mangle such state by default is at least Not A Good Thing; and it could sometimes be worse, depending on the particular data that might be corrupted. (I disregard the paranoiac "don't let anyone read it either" approach. Anyone storing passwords in such memory doesn't really care about security.)

The RTC "hctosys" mechanism expects that RTC clock will use UTC, not local time (e.g. PST). Say so in Kconfig and in the kernel message. (Strictly speaking, the RTC clock should be tracking the POSIX epoch. That's not worth going into here. Goofing timezones means clocks are wrong by many hours; the POSIX-v-UTC differences just cost seconds.) Signed-off-by:

This reverts commit 7c9e69fa, fixing up conflicts in fs/ext4/balloc.c manually. The cost of doing the bitmap validation on each lookup - even when the bitmap is cached - is absolutely prohibitive. We could, and probably should, do it only when adding the bitmap to the buffer cache. However, right now we are better off just reverting it. Peter Zijlstra measured the cost of this extra validation as a 85% decrease in cached iozone, and while I had a patch that took it down to just 17% by not being _quite_ so stupid in the validation, it was still a big slowdown that could have been avoided by just doing it right.

If CONFIG_NET_NS is not set, the only namespace is possible. This patch removes list of pernet_operations and cleanups code a bit. This list is not needed if there are no namespaces. We should just call ->init method. Additionally, the ->exit will be called on module unloading only. This case is safe - the code is not discarded. For the in/kernel code, ->exit should never be called. Signed-off-by:

The patch "KVM: fix !SMP build error" change the way smp_call_function() actually uses the passed in function names on non-SMP builds. So previously it was never caught that the function passed in was never actually defined. This causes a build error on ppc64_defconfig + CONFIG_SMP=n: arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_64.c: In function 'pgtable_free_now': arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_64.c:71: error: 'pte_free_smp_sync' undeclared (first use in this function) arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_64.c:71: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_64.c:71: error: for each function it appears in.) So we need to define it even if CONFIG_SMP is off. Either that or ifdef out the smp_call_function() call, but that's ugly. Signed-off-by:

The context switch code in the kernel issues a dummy stwcx. to clear the reservation, as recommended by the architecture. However, some processors can have issues if this stwcx to address A occurs while the reservation is already held to a different address B. To avoid this problem, the dummy stwcx. needs to be paired with a dummy lwarx to the same address. This adds the dummy lwarx, and creates a cpu feature bit to indicate which cpus are affected. Tested on mpc8641_hpcn_defconfig in arch/powerpc; build tested in arch/ppc. Signed-off-by:
