The CPGMAC pin list in da850.c was incorrectly split into two MII/RMII mode specific pin lists, while what pin group is used is a function of how the board is wired. Copy the pin lists to board-da850-evm.c, renaming them accordingly, and merge the two lists in da850.c into one, da850_cpgmac_pins[], representing the CPGMAC module as a whole...

The NAND/NOR flash pin lists (da850_nand_pins/da850_nor_pins) are purely board specific and as such shouldn't be in da850.c -- copy them to board-da850-evm.c, renaming to da850_evm_nand_pins/da850_evm_nor_pins respectively, and merge the two lists in da850.c into one, representing the EMIF 2.5 module as a whole, just like we have it in da830.c... While at it, remove the '__init' modifier from da850_evm_setup_nor_nand() as this function is called from non '__init' code...

Keep PLL0 SYSCLK3 at a constant rate of 100MHz. This enables the AEMIF timing to remain valid even as the PLL0 output is changed by cpufreq driver to save power. Signed-off-by: Sekhar Nori <nsekhar@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Hilman <khilman@deeprootsystems.com>

On OMAP-L138 SoC, some of the sysclks need not be at a fixed ratio to CPU clock and can be kept at a relatively constant rate by adjusting the PLLDIVn ratio even as cpufreq goes ahead and changes the CPU clock. This feature can be used to keep the EMIFA (PLL0 SYSCLK3) clock at a constant rate so that the EMIF timings need not be re-programmed whenever the CPU frequency changes. This patch adds the required suppport to cpufreq driver. Signed-off-by: Sekhar Nori <nsekhar@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Hilman <khilman@deeprootsystems.com>

Setting sysclk rate will be useful in cases where the sysclk is not at a fixed ratio to the PLL output but can asynchronously be changed. This support forms the basis of attempt to keep the AEMIF clock constant on OMAP-L138 even as PLL0 output changes as ARM clock is changed to save power. This patch has been tested on OMAP-L138.

This patch disables internal pulldowns for all MMC/SD1 pins. Presently only MMCSD1_CMD pin's pull down is disabled, but with this some MMC/SD cards do not get detected on MMC/SD1 slot of the EVM.

For each DA850 OPP, the normal ('NOM') voltage defined in the tecnical reference manual (TRM) is actually the minimum voltage the frequency is supported at. The minimum ('MIN') voltage defined in TRM is meant to take care of voltage fluctuations and the device should not be run at this voltage for extended periods of time. Fix the OPP definitions to define the cvdd_min as the normal voltage defined in the datasheet. Signed-off-by: Sekhar Nori <nsekhar@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Hilman <khilman@deeprootsystems.com>

The Sitara AM17x SoCs from TI are an OMAP-L137 pin-to-pin compatible ARM9 microprocessor offering from TI. The Sitara AM18x SoCs from TI are an OMAP-L138 pin-to-pin compatible ARM9 microprocessor offering from TI. More information about these processors available at: www.ti.com/am1x Because of their compatibiliy with OMAP-L1x, the kernel support for OMAP-L1x is fully relevant to AM1x processors. This patch updates the Kconfig prompt and help text to include the AM1x part names to help users select configurations required for these parts easily. Also, the hardware information that shows up in /proc/cpuinfo is updated to show applicability of the respective OMAP-L1x EVMs for AM1x parts.

Current cpufreq code does not consider errors that can occur while changing voltage. Code to increase CPU frequency goes ahead even in the case the regulator has failed to increase the voltage. This leads to hard error since lower voltages cannot support increased frequency. Prevent this by not increasing frequency in case increasing voltage is not successful. Also, do not lower the voltage if changing the cpu frequency has failed for some reason. Note that we do not return error on failure to decrease voltage as that is not a hard error.

"param->u.wpa_associate.wpa_ie_len" comes from the user. We should check it so that the copy_from_user() doesn't overflow the buffer. Also further down in the function, we assume that if "param->u.wpa_associate.wpa_ie_len" is set then "abyWPAIE[0]" is initialized. To make that work, I changed the test here to say that if "wpa_ie_len" is set then "wpa_ie" has to be a valid pointer or we return -EINVAL. Oddly, we only use the first element of the abyWPAIE[] array. So I suspect there may be some other issues in this function.

This reverts commit 96d592ed. The netfilter hook seems to be misused and may leak skbs in situations when NF_HOOK returns NF_STOLEN. It may not filter everything as expected. Also the ethernet bridge tables are not yet capable to understand batman-adv packet correctly. It was only added for testing purposes and can be removed again.

Commit 461c3177(into 2.6.36-v3) is put forward to power down phy if no usb cable is connected, but does introduce the two issues below: 1), phy is not into work state if usb cable is connected with PC during poweron, so musb device mode is not usable in such case, follows the reasons: -twl4030_phy_resume is not called, so regulators are not enabled i2c access are not enabled usb mode not configurated 2), The kernel warings[1] of regulators 'unbalanced disables' is caused if poweron without usb cable connected with PC or b-device. This patch fixes the two issues above: -power down phy only if no usb cable is connected with PC and b-device -do phy initialization(via __twl4030_phy_resume) if usb cable is connected with PC(vbus event) or another b-device(ID event) in twl4030_usb_probe. This patch also doesn't put VUSB3V1 LDO into active mode in twl4030_usb_ldo_init until VBUS/ID change detected, so we can save more power consumption than before. This patch is verified OK on Beagle board either connected with usb cable or not when poweron. [1]. warnings of 'unbalanced disables' of regulators.

Use force_sigsegv() rather than force_sig(SIGSEGV, ...) as the former resets the SEGV handler pointer which will kill the process, rather than leaving it open to an infinite loop if the SEGV handler itself caused a SEGV signal.

a) sa_handler might be maliciously set to point to kernel memory; blindly dereferencing it in FDPIC case is a Bad Idea(tm). b) I'm not sure you need that set_fs(USER_DS) there at all, but if you do, you'd better do it *before* checking the frame you've decided to use with access_ok(), lest sigaltstack() becomes a convenient roothole.

Commit 4969c119 ("mm: fix swapin race condition") is now agreed to be incomplete. There's a race, not very much less likely than the original race envisaged, in which it is further necessary to check that the swapcache page's swap has not changed. Here's the reasoning: cast in terms of reuse_swap_page(), but probably could be reformulated to rely on try_to_free_swap() instead, or on swapoff+swapon. A, faults into do_swap_page(): does page1 = lookup_swap_cache(swap1) and comes through the lock_page(page1). B, a racing thread of the same process, faults on the same address: does page1 = lookup_swap_cache(swap1) and now waits in lock_page(page1), but for whatever reason is unlucky not to get the lock any time soon. A carries on through do_swap_page(), a write fault, but cannot reuse the swap page1 (another reference to swap1). Unlocks the page1 (but B doesn't get it yet), does COW in do_wp_page(), page2 now in that pte. C, perhaps the parent of A+B, comes in and write faults the same swap page1 into its mm, reuse_swap_page() succeeds this time, swap1 is freed. kswapd comes in after some time (B still unlucky) and swaps out some pages from A+B and C: it allocates the original swap1 to page2 in A+B, and some other swap2 to the original page1 now in C. But does not immediately free page1 (actually it couldn't: B holds a reference), leaving it in swap cache for now. B at last gets the lock on page1, hooray! Is PageSwapCache(page1)? Yes. Is pte_same(*page_table, orig_pte)? Yes, because page2 has now been given the swap1 which page1 used to have. So B proceeds to insert page1 into A+B's page_table, though its content now belongs to C, quite different from what A wrote there. B ought to have checked that page1's swap was still swap1.
