Straighten up the AMD Au1xx0 Ethernet probing code, make it print out (and store in the 'net_device' structure) the physical address of the controller, not the KSEG1-based virtual. Make the driver also claim/release the 4-byte MAC enable registers and assign to the Ethernet ports two consecutive MAC addresses to match those that are printed on their stickers.

In a short discussion with Benjamin Herrenschmidt he mentioned that Marvell PHYs are powered down the same way as the other ones we currently handle. Thus actually do that, hopefully saving some power during suspend. Signed-off-by:

The attached patch adds support for VLANs to the sis900 driver and bumps the version number. It is based on an old (2003) patch for the 2.4 series by Hamid Hashemi Golpayegani. It applies on top of 2.6.16(.5). I have one report that it works and behaves as intended. Please review and consider for inclusion. Signed-off-by:

Hi jeff, after the first shot I sent to you did not apply I resend two new patches I've made today to remove tty from ctc network driver. Please apply .... Thank you ... Frank From: Peter Tiedemann <ptiedem@de.ibm.com> [1/2]: tty support code will be removed from the ctc network device driver. Today we have a couple of alternatives which are performing much better. The second thing is that ctc should be a network device driver only. We should not mix tty and networking here. This first patch will remove the tty code from ctcmain.c . It also removes the build entry from the Makefile as well as TTY definitions from ctcmain.h. The second patch will remove two files, ctctty.c and ctctty.h. Signed-off-by: -

AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE when an exception is pending. This means the value leak through context switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction state of other processes. This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as being different from Intel before. The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally calling FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip it when not needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to clear FOP/FIP/FDP. This means other processes always will only see a constant value defined by the kernel in their FP state. I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already in L1 during context switch to make the overhead of this low. Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs who don't need it. Patch for both i386/x86-64. The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard Brunner provided the basic code for the workarounds, with contribution from Jan. This is CVE-2006-1056 Cc: richard.brunner@amd.com Cc: jbeulich@novell.com Signed-off-by:

Update the schedule for the removal of drivers depending on OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER as follows: - adjust OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER dependencie - from the release of 2.6.16 till the release of 2.6.17: approx. two months for users to report problems with the ALSA drivers for the same hardware - after the release of 2.6.17 (and before 2.6.18): remove the subset of drivers marked at OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER without known regressions in the ALSA drivers for the same hardware Additionally, correct some OBSOLETE_OSS_DRIVER dependencies.

This fixes a hang in mpu401_uart.c that can occur when the mpu401 interface is non-existent or otherwise doesn't respond to commands but we issue IO anyway. snd_mpu401_uart_cmd now returns an error code that is passed up the stack so that an open() will fail immediately in such cases. Eventually discovered after wine/cxoffice would constantly cause hard lockups on my desktop immediately after loading (emulating Windows too well). Turned out that I'd recently moved my sound cards around and using /dev/sequencer now talks to a sound card with a broken MPU. This second version changes -EFAULT to -EIO and frees open resources on error too. Test booted and seems to work ok. Signed-off-by:

Fix for bug #6395: Fail to resume on Tecra M2 with ADM1032 and Intel 82801DBM The BIOS of the Tecra M2 doesn't like it when it has to reboot or resume after the i2c-i801 driver has left the SMBus in PEC mode. The most simple fix is to clear the PEC bit after after every transaction. That's what this driver was doing up to 2.6.15 (inclusive). Thanks to Daniele Gaffuri for the very good report.

On the MSI-K8T-NEO2 FIR ( Athlon-64, Socket 939 with VIA-K8T800- Chipset and onboard Sound,... ) the BIOS lets you choose "DISABLED" or "AUTO" for the On-Board Sound Device. If you add another PCI-Sound-Card the BIOS disables the on-board device. So far I have a Quirk, that does set the correspondent BIT in the PCI-registers to enable the soundcard. But how to ensure that the code is executed ONLY on excactly this kind of boards (not any other with similar Chipset)? Cc: Jaroslav Kysela <perex@suse.cz> Acked-by:

[PATCH] cs5535_gpio.c: call cdev_del() during module_exit to unmap kobject references and other cleanups During module unloading, cdev_del() must be called to unmap cdev related kobject references and other cleanups(such as inode->i_cdev being set to NULL) which prevents the OOPS upon subsequent loading, usage and unloading of modules(as seen in the mail thread http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114533640609018&w=2). Also, remove unneeded test of gpio_base. Signed-off-by:

In cases where a struct kretprobe's *_handler fields are non-NULL, it is possible to cause a system crash, due to the possibility of calls ending up in zombie functions. Documentation clearly states that unused *_handlers should be set to NULL, but kprobe users sometimes fail to do so. Fix it by setting the non-relevant fields of the struct kretprobe to NULL.
