6882edc Robin Holt 08 December 2008, 14:43:46 UTC [IA64] Clear up section mismatch for sn_check_wars. The generic_defconfig has three section mismatches. This clears up sn_check_wars().

9877e7b Robin Holt 08 December 2008, 14:43:46 UTC [IA64] Updated the generic_defconfig to work with the 2.6.28-rc7 kernel. The AUTOFS=y and AUTOFS4=y causes problems with some distros versions of automount. I turned both of those to =m and then followed the default prompts for everything else. I did notice that CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG got changed to CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG_MESSAGES and the default was a =y so I turned that back to a =n.

6afc9be Julia Lawall 01 December 2008, 22:18:37 UTC [IA64] eliminate NULL test and memset after alloc_bootmem As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9e04d278316b2faddf276015fc06e3b, alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these functions is unnecessary.

Since applying the fix suggested by the errata (disabling MSI), we've had issues with interrupts being stuck on despite IIR being 0 on GM965 hardware. Most reporters of the issue have confirmed that turning MSI back on fixes things, and given the difficulties experienced in getting reliable MSI working on Linux, it's believable that the errata was about software issues and not actual hardware issues.

a4f4d6d J. Bruce Fields 08 December 2008, 23:24:18 UTC EXPORTFS: handle NULL returns from fh_to_dentry()/fh_to_parent() While 440037287c5 "[PATCH] switch all filesystems over to d_obtain_alias" removed some cases where fh_to_dentry() and fh_to_parent() could return NULL, there are still a few NULL returns left in individual filesystems. Thus it was a mistake for that commit to remove the handling of NULL returns in the callers. Revert those parts of 440037287c5 which removed the NULL handling. (We could, alternatively, modify all implementations to return -ESTALE instead of NULL, but that proves to require fixing a number of filesystems, and in some cases it's arguably more natural to return NULL.)

baa745a Russell King 07 December 2008, 09:44:55 UTC [ARM] Fix alignment fault handling for ARMv6 and later CPUs On ARMv6 and later CPUs, it is possible for userspace processes to get stuck on a misaligned load or store due to the "ignore fault" setting; unlike previous CPUs, retrying the instruction without the 'A' bit set does not always cause the load to succeed. We have no real option but to default to fixing up alignment faults on these CPUs, and having the CPU fix up those misaligned accesses which it can.

794baba Lennert Buytenhek 05 December 2008, 02:25:47 UTC [ARM] 5340/1: fix stack placement after noexecstack changes Commit 8ec53663d2698076468b3e1edc4e1b418bd54de3 ("[ARM] Improve non-executable support") added support for detecting non-executable stack binaries. One of the things it does is to make READ_IMPLIES_EXEC be set in ->personality if we are running on a CPU that doesn't support the XN ("Execute Never") page table bit or if we are running a binary that needs an executable stack. This exposed a latent bug in ARM's asm/processor.h due to which we'll end up placing the stack at a very low address, where it will bump into the heap on any application that uses significant amount of stack or heap or both, causing many interesting crashes. Fix this by testing the ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT bit in ->personality instead of testing for equality against PER_LINUX_32BIT.

f2f1fa7 Linus Torvalds 05 December 2008, 22:49:18 UTC Enforce a minimum SG_IO timeout There's no point in having too short SG_IO timeouts, since if the command does end up timing out, we'll end up through the reset sequence that is several seconds long in order to abort the command that timed out. As a result, shorter timeouts than a few seconds simply do not make sense, as the recovery would be longer than the timeout itself. Add a BLK_MIN_SG_TIMEOUT to match the existign BLK_DEFAULT_SG_TIMEOUT.

Commit aaad077638be1a25871bcae5e43952d6b63abfca (that failed "Fix ACPI battery regression") got the voltage conversion confused, and fixed the problem with Rafael's battery monitor apparently just by mistake.

The PLCP header being 5 bytes long, the 80211 header will start unaligned from an aligned skb buffer. As per Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt, we must replace the not unaligned() safe compare_ether_addr() with memcmp() to protect architectures that require alignment.

Concerned that whilst it was safe to assume that unalignment was the norm for the zd1211rw, and take preventative measures, it may not be the case or acceptable to use the easy fix of changing the call to memcmp(). My research however indicated that it was OK to do this, as there are a few instances where memcmp() is the preferred mechanism for doing mac address comparisons throughout the module.

The patch also removes a valid condition check that ipw_tx_skb() cannot be called if device is not in STATUS_ASSOCIATED state. But netif_carrier_off() doesn't guarantee netdev->hard_start_xmit won't be called because linkwatch event is handled in a delayed workqueue. This caused a kernel oops reported by Frank Seidel: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=397390 This patch fixes the problem by moving the STATUS_ASSOCIATED check back to ipw_tx_skb(). It also adds a missing netif_carrier_off() call to ipw_disassociate().

One example where this matters is when during slow start cwnd overshoots the link capacity and a flow then exits slow start with ssthresh set to a value above where congestion avoidance would like to adjust it.

94fc733 Nicolas Pitre 04 December 2008, 02:59:41 UTC [ARM] 5339/1: fix __fls() on ARM Commit 0c65f459ce6c intended to fix truncation issues with fls() on ARMv5+ by renaming it to __fls() and wrapping it into a C function. However that didn't take into account the fact that __fls() already already had different semantics in the kernel. Let's move the __fls() code into fls() function directly, and redefine __fls() with the appropriate semantics. While at it, bring a generic __fls() definition for pre ARMv5 too.

6c9bacb john stultz 02 December 2008, 02:34:41 UTC time: catch xtime_nsec underflows and fix them Impact: fix time warp bug Alex Shi, along with Yanmin Zhang have been noticing occasional time inconsistencies recently. Through their great diagnosis, they found that the xtime_nsec value used in update_wall_time was occasionally going negative. After looking through the code for awhile, I realized we have the possibility for an underflow when three conditions are met in update_wall_time(): 1) We have accumulated a second's worth of nanoseconds, so we incremented xtime.tv_sec and appropriately decrement xtime_nsec. (This doesn't cause xtime_nsec to go negative, but it can cause it to be small). 2) The remaining offset value is large, but just slightly less then cycle_interval. 3) clocksource_adjust() is speeding up the clock, causing a corrective amount (compensating for the increase in the multiplier being multiplied against the unaccumulated offset value) to be subtracted from xtime_nsec. This can cause xtime_nsec to underflow. Unfortunately, since we notify the NTP subsystem via second_overflow() whenever we accumulate a full second, and this effects the error accumulation that has already occured, we cannot simply revert the accumulated second from xtime nor move the second accumulation to after the clocksource_adjust call without a change in behavior. This leaves us with (at least) two options: 1) Simply return from clocksource_adjust() without making a change if we notice the adjustment would cause xtime_nsec to go negative. This would work, but I'm concerned that if a large adjustment was needed (due to the error being large), it may be possible to get stuck with an ever increasing error that becomes too large to correct (since it may always force xtime_nsec negative). This may just be paranoia on my part. 2) Catch xtime_nsec if it is negative, then add back the amount its negative to both xtime_nsec and the error. This second method is consistent with how we've handled earlier rounding issues, and also has the benefit that the error being added is always in the oposite direction also always equal or smaller then the correction being applied. So the risk of a corner case where things get out of control is lessened.

f8269a4 Ilpo Järvinen 04 December 2008, 05:24:48 UTC tcp: make urg+gso work for real this time I should have noticed this earlier... :-) The previous solution to URG+GSO/TSO will cause SACK block tcp_fragment to do zig-zig patterns, or even worse, a steep downward slope into packet counting because each skb pcount would be truncated to pcount of 2 and then the following fragments of the later portion would restore the window again. Basically this reverts "tcp: Do not use TSO/GSO when there is urgent data" (33cf71cee1). It also removes some unnecessary code from tcp_current_mss that didn't work as intented either (could be that something was changed down the road, or it might have been broken since the dawn of time) because it only works once urg is already written while this bug shows up starting from ~64k before the urg point. The retransmissions already are split to mss sized chunks, so only new data sending paths need splitting in case they have a segment otherwise suitable for gso/tso. The actually check can be improved to be more narrow but since this is late -rc already, I'll postpone thinking the more fine-grained things.

1c594c0 Wilfried Klaebe 04 December 2008, 04:57:19 UTC b1isa: fix b1isa_exit() to really remove registered capi controllers On "/etc/init.d/capiutils stop", this oops happened. The oops happens on reading /proc/capi/controllers because capi_ctrl->procinfo is called for the wrongly not unregistered controller, which points to b1isa_procinfo(), which was removed on module unload. b1isa_exit() did not call b1isa_remove() for its controllers because io[0] == 0 on module unload despite having been 0x340 on module load. Besides, just removing the controllers that where added on module load time and not those that were added later via b1isa_add_card() is wrong too - the place where all added cards are found is isa_dev[]. relevant dmesg lines: [ 0.000000] Linux version 2.6.27.4 (w@shubashi) (gcc version 4.3.2 (Debian 4.3.2-1) ) #3 Thu Oct 30 16:49:03 CET 2008 [ 67.403555] CAPI Subsystem Rev 1.1.2.8 [ 68.529154] capifs: Rev 1.1.2.3 [ 68.563292] capi20: Rev 1.1.2.7: started up with major 68 (middleware+capifs) [ 77.026936] b1: revision 1.1.2.2 [ 77.049992] b1isa: revision 1.1.2.3 [ 77.722655] kcapi: Controller [001]: b1isa-340 attached [ 77.722671] b1isa: AVM B1 ISA at i/o 0x340, irq 5, revision 255 [ 81.272669] b1isa-340: card 1 "B1" ready.

726c12f Joseph Myers 04 December 2008, 03:36:05 UTC sparc64: Fix VIS emulation bugs This patch fixes some bugs in VIS emulation that cause the GCC test failure FAIL: gcc.target/sparc/pdist-3.c execution test for both 32-bit and 64-bit testing on hardware lacking these instructions. The emulation code for the pdist instruction uses RS1(insn) for both source registers rs1 and rs2, which is obviously wrong and leads to the instruction doing nothing (the observed problem), and further inspection of the code shows that RS1 uses a shift of 24 and RD a shift of 25, which clearly cannot both be right; examining SPARC documentation indicates the correct shift for RS1 is 14. This patch fixes the bug if single-stepping over the affected instruction in the debugger, but not if the testcase is run standalone. For that, Wind River has another patch I hope they will send as a followup to this patch submission. Signed-off-by: Joseph Myers <joseph@codesourcery.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
