Patch from Deepak Saxena This allows the serial driver autconf to work properly on all the IXP serial ports. W/o it we basically put the serial port in an unrecoverable state and lose console. Signed-off-by:

Patch from Deepak Saxena The XScale locking code is not something that has been validated on 2.6 and needs to be replaced with a more generic API to use with other ARMs that support locking features. Signed-off-by:

Patch from Richard Purdie NWFPE used global variables which meant it wasn't safe for use with preemptive kernels. This patch removes them and communicates the information between functions in a preempt safe manner. Generation of some exceptions was broken and this has also been corrected. Tests with glibc's maths test suite show no change in the results before/after this patch. Signed-off-by:

Patch from Ben Dooks The default clock rate does not specify a maximum, so the default of 400KHz is used. This rate is too fast for the PMU on the EB2410ITX, so we now specify platform data with a rate of around 100KHz. Signed-off-by:

For soft reset during system hang, got an error "CPU did not take control" for some CPUs even though they responded to soft-reset (called SystemReset, die and called debugger - xmon). First these CPUs entered into xmon by IPI callback and then got a soft-reset exception and re-entered into xmon again. The first CPU which re-entered into xmon got the output lock and made into xmon successfully without unlocking. Hence, the next CPU(s) which re-entered into xmon try to acquire a lock (get_output_lock). Therefore, we can not view state of those CPU(s). [This is a simple, very low risk, obvious fix for an obvious bug, and should go into 2.6.13. -- paulus] Signed-off-by:

We have increased PCIBIOS_MIN_IO to 0x4000, but still want motherboard resources to be allocated properly. So we need to state 0x1000 (according to the comment) limit explicitely. Signed-off-by:

There is a number of x86 laptops that have some non-PCI IO ports in the 0x1000-0x1fff range, and it's quite hard to control the correct order of resource allocation between PCI and other subsystems controlling these ports. Especially with modular kernel. So just increase PCIBIOS_MIN_IO to 0x4000 to prevent any new PCI resource allocations in the problematic range (this limitation must apply _only_ to the root bus resources - see Linus' change in pci_bus_alloc_resource). As PCIBIOS_MIN_IO and PCIBIOS_MIN_CARDBUS_IO are the same now on i386 and x86-64, we can remove the latter. Signed-off-by:

Linus Torvalds authored
The reason we have PCIBIOS_MIN_IO and PCIBIOS_MIN_CARDBUS_IO is because we want to protect badly documented motherboard PCI resources and thus don't want to allocate new resources in low IO/MEM space. However, if we have already discovered a PCI bridge with a specified resource base, that should override that decision. This change will allow us to move the "careful" region upwards without resulting in problems allocating resources in low mappings. This was brought on by us having allocated a bus resource at 0x1000, conflicting with a undocumented VAIO Sony PI resources.

CFQ will currently stall when using write barriers and the default max_depth setting of 1, since we artificially need a depth of 2 when pre-pending the first flush. So never deny the barrier request going to the device. This is a regression since 2.6.12, it was found in SUSE testing. Signed-off-by:

Recent changes (well, dating from 12 July) have broken cardbus on my powerbook: I get 3 messages saying "no resource of type xxx available, trying to continue", and if I plug in my wireless card, it complains that there are no resources allocated to the card. This all worked in 2.6.12. Looking at the code in yenta_socket.c, function yenta_allocate_res, it's obvious what is wrong: if we get to line 639 (i.e. there wasn't a usable preassigned resource), we will always flow through to line 668, which is the printk that I was seeing, even if a resource was successfully allocated. It looks to me as though there should be a return statement after the two config_writel's in each of the 3 branches of the if statements, so that the function returns after successfully setting up the resource. The patch below adds these return statements, and with this patch, cardbus works on my powerbook once again. Signed-off-by:

If CONFIG_NUMA is set, some POWER 4 systems will fail to boot. This is because of special processing needed to handle invalid node IDs (0xffff) on POWER 4. My previous patch to handle memory 'holes' within nodes forgot to add this special case for POWER 4 in one place. In reality, I'm not sure that configuring the kernel for NUMA on POWER 4 makes much sense. Are there POWER 4 based systems with NUMA characteristics that are presented by the firmware? But, distros want one kernel for all systems so NUMA is on by default in their kernels. The patch handles those cases. Signed-off-by:

The module code assumes noone will ever ask for a per-cpu area more than SMP_CACHE_BYTES aligned. However, as these cases show, gcc asks sometimes asks for 32-byte alignment for the per-cpu section on a module, and if CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT is 4, we hit that BUG_ON(). This is obviously an unusual combination, as there have been few reports, but better to warn than die.

A kernel BUG() is triggered by a call to set_mempolicy() with a negative first argument. This is because the mode is declared as an int, and the validity check doesnt check < 0 values. Alternatively, mode could be declared as unsigned int or unsigned long. Signed-off-by:

x86_64 has a large sparse gate area between VSYSCALL_START and VSYSCALL_END, not all of it presently backed by pmds. Alexander Nyberg has found that in some circumstances gdb may try to ptrace here, and hit get_user_pages BUG_ON. It seems odd that gdb should be accessing here, but it certainly shouldn't crash in this way: relax BUG_ON to -EFAULT. Fixes kernel bugzilla #4801. Signed-off-by:

There was a scheduling problem of the m32r SMP kernel; A process rarely stopped and gave no responding but the other process have been handled by the other CPU still lives, then if we did something in the other terminal or something like that, the stopped process came back to life and continued its operation... (ex. LMbench: lat_sig) In the m32r SMP kernel, a local-timer event is delivered by using an IPI(inter processor interrupts); LOCAL_TIMER_IPI. And a function smp_send_timer() is prepared to send the LOCAL_TIMER_IPI from the current CPU to the other CPUs. The funtion smp_send_timer() was placed and used in do_IRQ() in former times (before 2.6.10-rc3-mm1 kernel), however, it was unintentionally removed when arch/m32r/kernel/irq.c was modified to employ the generic hardirq framework (CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ) in my previous patch. [PATCH 2.6.10-rc3-mm1] m32r: Use generic hardirq framework http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0412.2/0358.html The following patch fixes the above problem. Signed-off-by:
