Patch from Martin Bligh. It should only affect machines using discontigmem. "This patch cleans up free_area_init stuff, and undefines mem_map and max_mapnr for discontigmem, where they were horrible kludges anyway ... We just use the lmem_maps instead, which makes much more sense. It also kills pgdat->node_start_mapnr, which is tarred with the same brush. It breaks free_area_init_core into a couple of sections, pulls the allocation of the lmem_map back into the next higher function, and passes more things via the pgdat. But that's not very interesting, the objective was to kill mem_map for discontigmem, which seems to attract bugs like flypaper. This brings any misuses to obvious compile-time errors rather than wierd oopses, which I can't help but feel is a good thing. It does break other discontigmem architectures, but in a very obvious way (they won't compile) and it's easy to fix. I think that's a small price to pay ... ;-) At some point soon I will follow up with a patch to remove free_area_init_node for the contig mem case, or at the very least rename it to something more sensible, like __free_area_init. Christoph has grander plans to kill mem_map more extensively in addition to the attatched, but I've heard nobody disagree that it should die for the discontigmem case at least. Oh, and I renamed mem_map in drivers/pcmcia/sa1100 to pc_mem_map because my tiny little brain (and cscope) find it confusing like that. Tested on 16-way NUMA-Q with discontigmem + NUMA support and on a standard PC (well, boots and appears functional). On top of 2.5.33-mm4"

The writeback code paths which walk the superblocks and inodes are getting an increasing arguments passed to them. The patch wraps those args into the new `struct writeback_control', and uses that instead. There is no functional change. The new writeback_control structure is passed down through the writeback paths in the place where the old `nr_to_write' pointer used to be. writeback_control will be used to pass new information up and down the writeback paths. Such as whether the writeback should be non-blocking, and whether queue congestion was encountered.

Andrew removed a flush_dcache_page in his kmap_atomic generic_file_* changes. Doing that sort of corrupts data on some platforms.

Now that all archs use the same way to generate the link script, we can handle it from the common top-level Makefile instead of the individual arch/*/Makefile's.

Untested, but at least it should show how to adapt the mips arch.

This is an untested attempt to convert ARM to preprocessing vmlinux.lds.S instead of running sed on it - This probably allows for further cleanup, but I'll leave that to _rmk_.
-
Kai Germaschewski authored
For consistency reasons, generate arch/$(ARCH)/vmlinux.lds.s from arch/$(ARCH)/vmlinux.lds.S on all archs, even those which do not need preprocessing (yet).

Sam Ravnborg: Yep, "if_changed_dep" uses fixdep, so a dependency to scripts is needed. Added echo_target as well, so the result file is printed as well.

Renames console.c and vt.c. The idea is to break these massive files into smaller ones. The main goal is to move all the high end tterminal emulation into one file. This way we can have a light weight printk without the extra weight. nice for embedded systems.

Removed selection.h header. It is not needed and in the future selections will be a pure userland solution. Use set_current_state instead in tty_ioctl.c.

hpt366 pci_tbl has a cut-n-paste error, last entry should be '4' and not 15. fixes a bug where hpt366_init_one() gets passed bogus id->driver_data and thus goes way beyond hpt366_chipsets[]

Note the cdc-ether.c driver does NOT work properly now, someone who understands the interface mess in that driver needs to fix it up.

This adds the requirement that the usb-serial drivers call usb_register() and usb_unregister() themselves, instead of having the usbserial.c file do it. Step one in moving the usbserial.c code to being a "class" :)

Update the ov511 driver to version 1.62: o Update email address o Remove some dead code and fix some harmless typos o New device: Alpha Vision Tech. AlphaCam SE o Fix assignment of ov->proc_button->owner to not cause NULL pointer deref (credit: Oleg K.) o Support I2C read/write ioctl()s via V4L (credit: Oleg K.) o Add OV518-specific register dump code o New snapshot reset sequence; old one was causing erroneous I2C writes (credit: Oleg K.) o OV6630 needs different register 0x14 settings than OV6620 o Don't print palette errors by default o Detect OV518 cameras that have packet numbering enabled by default and set ov->packet_numbering accordingly. This should fix the problems some users were having with babble (USB error -75) and cameras not working at all.

I noticed a kluge had been put into 2.5.35, to cover up *one* of the errors caused by a particular bug that was introduced when Patrick Mochel split up arch/i386/kernel/setup.c: he incorrectly thought the AMD-defined CPUID levels were AMD-specific; they're not -- every other x86 vendors *including* Intel uses them as well. This also adds the "i686" hack for TM5xxx that was added in 2.4 recently.
