This fixes a hang on ppc32. The problem was that I was comparing a 32-bit quantity with a 64-bit quantity, and consequently time wasn't advancing. This makes us use a 64-bit quantity on all platforms, which ends up simplifying the code since we can now get rid of the tb_last_stamp variable (which actually fixes another bug that Ben H and I noticed while going carefully through the code). This works fine on my G4 tibook. Let me know how it goes on your machines.

The backlight changes that went in had a bug where they could cause the kernel to access an unitialized pointer when blanking if there is no backlight control on a machine. The bug affects atyfb, aty128fb, nvidiafb and rivafb. radeonfb seems to be ok. This fixes it.

The following change from -mm is important to 2.6.18 (actually to 2.6.17 but its too late for that). This was contributed over three months ago by VIA to Bartlomiej and nothing happened. As a result the new chipset is now out and Linux won't run on it. By the time 2.6.18 is finalised this will be the defacto standard VIA chipset so support would be a good plan. Tested in -mm for a while, its essentially a PCI ident update but for the bridge chip because VIA do things in weird ways. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

It's possible to get an invalid page fault in kernel mode when we try to write out segments from vsyscall32 when dumping core for a 32bit process if the vsyscall32 DSO is not mapped in its address space (which can happen if, for example, ulimit -v 100 is run).

As a replacement for the earlier removal of the e820 MCFG check we blacklist the Intel SDV with the original BIOS bug that motivated that check. On those machines don't use MMCONFIG. This also adds a new pci=mmconf parameter to override the blacklist.

Noticed by Jan Beulich. When the kernel was moved from 1MB to 2MB in 2.6.17 the kernel reservation code wasn't adjusted and it still reserved starting with 1MB. This means 1MB always were lost. This patch fixes this by reserving only starting with _text. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The unwinder fallback logic still had potential for falling through to the legacy stack trace code without printing an indication (at once serving as a separator) of this. Further, the stack pointer retrieval for the fallback should be as restrictive as possible (in order to avoid having the legacy stack tracer try to access invalid memory). The patch tightens that, but this could certainly be further improved. Also making the call_trace command line option now conditional upon CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND (as it's meaningless otherwise).

By hard-coding the cpuid keys for alternative_smp() rather than using the symbolic constant it turned out that incorrect values were used on both i386 (0x68 instead of 0x69) and x86-64 (0x66 instead of 0x68).

The check for the MCFG table being reserved in the e820 map was originally added to detect a broken BIOS in a preproduction Intel SDV. However it also breaks the Apple x86 Macs, which can't supply this properly, but need a working MCFG. With this patch they wouldn't use the MCFG and not work. After some discussion I think it's best to remove the heuristic again. It also failed on some other boxes (although it didn't cause much problems there because old style port access for PCI config space still works as fallback), but the preproduction SDVs can just use pci=nommcfg. Supporting production machines properly is more important. Edgar Hucek did all the debugging work.

This problem was introduced by changeset 14778d90 Unlike the hugetlb code paths, the normal fault code is not setup to propagate PTE changes for large page sizes correctly like the ones we make for I/O mappings in io_remap_pfn_range(). It is absolutely necessary to update all sub-ptes of a largepage mapping on a fault. Adding special handling for this would add considerably complexity to tlb_batch_add(). So let's just side-step the issue and forcefully dirty any writable PTEs created by io_remap_pfn_range(). The only other real option would be to disable to large PTE code of io_remap_pfn_range() and we really don't want to do that. Much thanks to Mikael Pettersson for tracking down this problem and testing debug patches. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

ipv6_add_addr allocates a struct inet6_ifaddr and a dstentry, but it doesn't install the dstentry in ifa->rt until after it releases the addrconf_hash_lock. This means other CPUs will be able to see the new address while it hasn't been initialized completely yet. One possible fix would be to grab the ifp->lock spinlock when creating the address struct; a simpler fix is to just move the assignment.

When I tested Linux kernel 2.6.17.7 about statistics "ipv6IfStatsInAddrErrors", found that this counter couldn't increase correctly. The criteria is RFC2465: ipv6IfStatsInAddrErrors OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Counter32 MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The number of input datagrams discarded because the IPv6 address in their IPv6 header's destination field was not a valid address to be received at this entity. This count includes invalid addresses (e.g., ::0) and unsupported addresses (e.g., addresses with unallocated prefixes). For entities which are not IPv6 routers and therefore do not forward datagrams, this counter includes datagrams discarded because the destination address was not a local address." ::= { ipv6IfStatsEntry 5 } When I send packet to host with destination that is ether invalid address(::0) or unsupported addresses(1::1), the Linux kernel just discard the packet, and the counter doesn't increase(in the function ip6_pkt_discard).

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek On armv4t systems, we have always compiled the kernel with -march=armv4 instead of -march=armv4t, which means that any use of bx will bomb out.
