In yenta_socket, we default to using the resource setting of the CardBus bridge. However, this is a PCI-bus-centric view of resources and thus needs to be converted to generic resources first. Therefore, add a call to pcibios_bus_to_resource() call in between. This function is a mere wrapper on x86 and friends, however on some others it already exists, is added in this patch (alpha, arm, ppc, ppc64) or still needs to be provided (parisc -- where is its pcibios_resource_to_bus() ?).

Some PCI devices (e.g. 3c905B, 3c556B) lose all configuration (including BARs) when transitioning from D3hot->D0. This leaves such a device in an inaccessible state. The patch below causes the BARs to be restored when enabling such a device, so that its driver will be able to access it. The patch also adds pci_restore_bars as a new global symbol, and adds a correpsonding EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for that. Some firmware (e.g. Thinkpad T21) leaves devices in D3hot after a (re)boot. Most drivers call pci_enable_device very early, so devices left in D3hot that lose configuration during the D3hot->D0 transition will be inaccessible to their drivers. Drivers could be modified to account for this, but it would be difficult to know which drivers need modification. This is especially true since often many devices are covered by the same driver. It likely would be necessary to replicate code across dozens of drivers. The patch below should trigger only when transitioning from D3hot->D0 (or at boot), and only for devices that have the "no soft reset" bit cleared in the PM control register. I believe it is safe to include this patch as part of the PCI infrastructure. The cleanest implementation of pci_restore_bars was to call pci_update_resource. Unfortunately, that does not currently exist for the sparc64 architecture. The patch below includes a null implemenation of pci_update_resource for sparc64. Some have expressed interest in making general use of the the pci_restore_bars function, so that has been exported to GPL licensed modules. Signed-off-by: John W.

The IA32 ptrace emulation currently returns the wrong registers for fs/gs; it's returning what x86_64 calls gs_base. We need regs.gsindex in order for GDB to correctly locate the TLS area. Without this patch, the 32-bit GDB testsuite bombs on a 64-bit kernel. With it, results look about like I'd expect, although there are still a handful of kernel-related failures (vsyscall related?).

We had a user whose apps weren't working correctly because his "rtc" wasn't working fully. For the sake of simplicity, it seems sensible to always enable HPET RTC emulation. Remove a special config option for HPET_EMULATE_RTC and make it directly depend on HPET_TIMER and RTC. This will avoid the hangs when EMULATE_RTC is not configured and when some userlevel script depends on RTC interrupt, as in: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4904Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

mremap's move_vma is applying __vm_stat_account to the old vma which may have already been freed: move it to just before the do_munmap. mremapping to and fro with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y showed /proc/<pid>/status VmSize and VmData wrapping just like in kernel bugzilla #4842, and fixed by this patch - worth including in 2.6.13, though not yet confirmed that it fixes that specific report from Frank van Maarseveen.

The attached patch makes sure that a keyring that failed to instantiate properly is destroyed without oopsing [CAN-2005-2099]. The problem occurs in three stages: (1) The key allocator initialises the type-specific data to all zeroes. In the case of a keyring, this will become a link in the keyring name list when the keyring is instantiated. (2) If a user (any user) attempts to add a keyring with anything other than an empty payload, the keyring instantiation function will fail with an error and won't add the keyring to the name list. (3) The keyring's destructor then sees that the keyring has a description (name) and tries to remove the keyring from the name list, which oopses because the link pointers are both zero. This bug permits any user to take down a box trivially.

The attached patch prevents an error during the key session joining operation from hanging future joins in the D state [CAN-2005-2098]. The problem is that the error handling path for the KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING operation has one error path that doesn't release the session management semaphore. Further attempts to get the semaphore will then sleep for ever in the D state. This can happen in four situations, all involving an attempt to allocate a new session keyring: (1) ENOMEM. (2) The users key quota being reached. (3) A keyring name that is an empty string. (4) A keyring name that is too long. Any user may attempt this operation, and so any user can cause the problem to occur.

Firstly, R1BIO_Degraded was being set in a number of places in the resync code, but is never used there, so get rid of those settings. Then: When doing a resync, we want to clear the bit in the bitmap iff the array will be non-degraded when the sync has completed. However the current code would clear the bitmap if the array was non-degraded when the resync *started*, which obviously isn't right (it is for 'resync' but not for 'recovery' - i.e. rebuilding a failed drive). This patch calculated 'still_degraded' and uses the to tell bitmap_start_sync whether this sync should clear the corresponding bit.

The code currently will ignore the bitmap if the array seem to be in-sync. This is wrong if the array is degraded, and probably wrong anyway. If the bitmap says some chunks are not in in-sync, and the superblock says everything IS in sync, then something is clearly wrong, and it is safer to trust the bitmap.

no_overlay bttv parameter implemented to fix OOPS on some PCI chipsets (like some VIA) with these behaviors: 1) If pci_quicks does identify the chip as having troubles to handle PCI2PCI transfers, no_overlay defaults to 1. The user may force it to 0, to reenable (not recommended). 2) For newer chipsets not blacklisted, no_overlay=1 is provided as a workaround until PCI chipset included on /drivers/pci/quirks.c Thanks to Bodo Eggert <7eggert@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Michael Krufky <mkrufky@m1k.net> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@brturbo.com.br> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Several people noticed we dropped quite a bit on benchmark figures. OK, it was my fault but unfortunately I discovered I ran out of brown paper bags a while ago and forgot to reorder them. The issue is that a construct introduced in the conversion of the driver to use the transport class keyed off whether the block request was tagged or not. However, the aic7xxx driver doesn't properly set up the block layer TCQ (it uses the wrong API), so the driver now things all requests are untagged and we keep it to a queue depth of a single element. Oops. The fix is to use the correct TCQ API. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

This fixes five bugs in the key management syscall interface: (1) add_key() returns 0 rather than EINVAL if the key type is "". Checking the key type isn't "" should be left to lookup_user_key(). (2) request_key() returns ENOKEY rather than EPERM if the key type begins with a ".". lookup_user_key() can't do this because internal key types begin with a ".". (3) Key revocation always returns 0, even if it fails. (4) Key read can return EAGAIN rather than EACCES under some circumstances. A key is permitted to by read by a process if it doesn't grant read access, but it does grant search access and it is in the process's keyrings. That search returns EAGAIN if it fails, and this needs translating to EACCES. (5) request_key() never adds the new key to the destination keyring if one is supplied. The wrong macro was being used to test for an error condition: PTR_ERR() will always return true, whether or not there's an error; this should've been IS_ERR().

This removes the calls to device_suspend() from the shutdown path that were added sometime during 2.6.13-rc*. They aren't working properly on a number of configs (I got reports from both ppc powerbook users and x86 users) causing the system to not shutdown anymore. I think it isn't the right approach at the moment anyway. We have already a shutdown() callback for the drivers that actually care about shutdown and the suspend() code isn't yet in a good enough shape to be so much generalized. Also, the semantics of suspend and shutdown are slightly different on a number of setups and the way this was patched in provides little way for drivers to cleanly differenciate. It should have been at least a different message. For 2.6.13, I think we should revert to 2.6.12 behaviour and have a working suspend back.
