0b405a0f7e [PATCH] Driver Core: remove driver model detach_state
The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that:

 - Has never been used by any in-kernel drive;
 - Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing;
 - Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type;
 - Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts;
 - Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace.

This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well
as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.

751521149a [PATCH] x86_64: Collected NMI watchdog fixes.
Collected NMI watchdog fixes.

- Fix call of check_nmi_watchdog

- Remove earlier move of check_nmi_watchdog to later.  It does not fix the
  race it was supposed to fix fully.

- Remove unused P6 definitions

- Add support for performance counter based watchdog on P4 systems.

  This allows to run it only once per second, which saves some CPU time.
  Previously it would run at 1000Hz, which was too much.

  Code ported from i386

  Make this the default on Intel systems.

- Use check_nmi_watchdog with local APIC based nmi

- Fix race in touch_nmi_watchdog

- Fix bug that caused incorrect performance counters to be programmed in a
  few cases on K8.

- Remove useless check for local APIC

- Use local_t and per_cpu variables for per CPU data.

- Keep other CPUs busy during check_nmi_watchdog to make sure they really
  tick when in lapic mode.

- Only check CPUs that are actually online.

- Various other fixes.

- Fix fallback path when MSRs are unimplemented

312df5f1a1 [PATCH] x86_64: Add pmtimer support
There are unfortunately more and more multi processor Opteron systems which
don't have HPET timer support in the southbridge.  This covers in particular
Nvidia and VIA chipsets.  They also don't guarantee that the TSCs are
synchronized between CPUs; and especially with MP powernow the systems are
nearly unusable because the time gets very inconsistent between CPUs.

The timer code for x86-64 was originally written under the assumption that we
could fall back to the HPET timer on such systems.  But this doesn't work
there.

Another alternative is to use the ACPI PM timer as primary time source.  This
patch does that.  The kernel only uses PM timer when there is no other choice
because it has some disadvantages.

Ported over from i386.  It should be faster than the i386 version because I
dropped the "read three times" workaround, but is still considerable slower
than HPET and also does not work together with vsyscalls which have to be
disabled.

5b76ffd5d9 [PATCH] DAC960: add support for Mylex AcceleRAID 4/5/600
This patch adds support for a new class of DAC960 controllers.  It's based
on the GPLed idac320 driver from IBM for Linux 2.4.18.  That driver is a
fork of the 2.4.18 version of DAC960 that adds support for this new type of
controllers (internally called "GEM Series"), that differ from other DAC960
V2 firmware controllers only in the register offsets and removes support
for all others.

This patch instead integrates support for these controllers into the DAC960
driver.

Thanks to Anders Norrbring for pointing me to the idac320 driver and
testing this patch.

No Signed-Off: line because all code is either copy & pasted from IBM's
idac320 driver or support for other controllers in the 2.6 DAC960 driver.

Note: the really odd formating matches the rest of the DAC960 driver.

c578455a3e [PATCH] uml: S390 preparation, abstract host page fault data
This patch removes the arch-specific fault/trap-infos from thread and
skas-regs.

It adds a new struct faultinfo, that is arch-specific defined in
sysdep/faultinfo.h.

The structure is inserted in thread.arch and thread.regs.skas and
thread.regs.tt

Now, segv and other trap-handlers can copy the contents from regs.X.faultinfo
to thread.arch.faultinfo with one simple assignment.

Also, the number of macros necessary is reduced to

FAULT_ADDRESS(struct faultinfo)
    extracts the faulting address from faultinfo

FAULT_WRITE(struct faultinfo)
    extracts the "is_write" flag

SEGV_IS_FIXABLE(struct faultinfo)
    is true for the fixable segvs, i.e. (TRAP == 14)
    on i386

UPT_FAULTINFO(regs)
    result is (struct faultinfo *) to the faultinfo
    in regs->skas.faultinfo

GET_FAULTINFO_FROM_SC(struct faultinfo, struct sigcontext *)
    copies the relevant parts of the sigcontext to
    struct faultinfo.

On SIGSEGV, call user_signal() instead of handle_segv(), if the architecture
provides the information needed in PTRACE_FAULTINFO, or if PTRACE_FAULTINFO is
missing, because segv-stub will provide the info.

The benefit of the change is, that in case of a non-fixable SIGSEGV, we can
give user processes a SIGSEGV, instead of possibly looping on pagefault
handling.

Since handle_segv() sikked arch_fixup() implicitly by passing ip==0 to segv(),
I changed segv() to call arch_fixup() only, if !is_user.

23352fc252 [PATCH] uml: kludgy compilation fixes for x86-64 subarch modules support
These are some trivial fixes for the x86-64 subarch module support.  The only
potential problem is that I have to modify arch/x86_64/kernel/module.c, to
avoid copying the whole of it.

I can't use it verbatim because it depends on a special vmalloc-like area for
modules, which for now (maybe that's to fix, I guess not) UML/x86-64 has not.
I went the easy way and reused the i386 vmalloc()-based allocator.

This patch started as simply removing a few never-used macros from

cleanups to the ppc64 low-level header files (with corresponding
changes to .c files where necessary) such as:
	- Abolishing never-used macros
	- Eliminating multiple #defines with the same purpose
	- Removing pointless macros (cases where just expanding the
macro everywhere turns out clearer and more sensible)
	- Removing some cases where macros which could be defined in
terms of each other weren't
	- Moving imalloc() related definitions from pgtable.h to their
own header file (imalloc.h)
	- Re-arranging headers to group things more logically
	- Moving all VSID allocation related things to mmu.h, instead
of being split between mmu.h and mmu_context.h
	- Removing some reserved space for flags from the PMD - we're
not using it.
	- Fix some bugs which broke compile with STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS.

This makes kallsyms ignore those functions, because they're not between
_[se]text or _[se]inittext.  Rather than teaching kallsyms about the
various pmac/chrp/etc sections, this patch adds '_[se]extratext' markers
for kallsyms.

aabc9761b6 [IPSEC]: Store idev entries
I found a bug that stopped IPsec/IPv6 from working.  About
a month ago IPv6 started using rt6i_idev->dev on the cached socket dst
entries.  If the cached socket dst entry is IPsec, then rt6i_idev will
be NULL.

Since we want to look at the rt6i_idev of the original route in this
case, the easiest fix is to store rt6i_idev in the IPsec dst entry just
as we do for a number of other IPv6 route attributes.  Unfortunately
this means that we need some new code to handle the references to
rt6i_idev.  That's why this patch is bigger than it would otherwise be.

I've also done the same thing for IPv4 since it is conceivable that
once these idev attributes start getting used for accounting, we
probably need to dereference them for IPv4 IPsec entries too.

4dc3b16ba1 [PATCH] DocBook: changes and extensions to the kernel documentation
I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our
university students again.  The documentation could be extended for more
sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels.  I
have tried to proceed with that task.  I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again.  Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets.  I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
 So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.

I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention.  Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors.  Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.

You can see result of the modified documentation build at
  http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz

Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated
documentation.  Sources has been added into kernel-api for now.  Some more
section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick
cleanup work.

f8e08a8466 [PATCH] reiserfs endianness: sanitize reiserfs_key union
Since we only access reiserfs_key ->u.k_offset_v2 guts in four helper
functions, we are free to sanitize those, as long as

- layout of the structure is unchanged (it's on-disk object)

- behaviour of these helpers is same as before.

Patch kills the mess with endianness-dependent bitfields and replaces them
with a single __le64.  Helpers are switched to straightforward shift/and/or.

Benefits:

- exact same definitions for little- and big-endian architectures; no ifdefs
  in sight.

- generate the same code on little-endian and improved on big-endian.

- doesn't rely on lousy bitfields handling in gcc codegenerator.

- happens to be standard C (unsigned long long is not a valid type for a
  bitfield; it's a gccism and not well-implemented one, at that).

pointer to in_core_key (or any object containing such) would be cast to or

So we drop the mess with union in there and simply use (unconditional) __u64
k_offset and __u8 k_type instead; places using in_core_key switched to those.
That gives _far_ better code than current mess - on all platforms.

6a3a16f2ef [PATCH] reiserfs endianness: clone struct reiserfs_key
struct reiserfs_key cloned; (currently) identical struct in_core_key added.
Places that expect host-endian data in reiserfs_key switched to in_core_key.
Basically, we get annotation of reiserfs_key users and keep the resulting tree
obviously equivalent to original.

e5bdd883a1 [PATCH] new valid_signal() function
This patch adds a new function valid_signal() that tests if its argument is
a valid signal number.

The reasons for adding this new function are:

- some code currently testing _NSIG directly has off-by-one errors.
  Using this function instead avoids such errors.

- some code currently tests unsigned signal numbers for <0 which is
  pointless and generates warnings when building with gcc -W.  Using this
  function instead avoids such warnings.

I considered various places to add this function but eventually settled on
include/linux/signal.h as the most logical place for it.  If there's some
reason this is a bad choice then please let me know (hints as to a better
location are then welcome of course).

f78fc874f4 [PATCH] __attribute__ placement fixes
The variable attributes "packed" and "align" when used with struct, should
have the following order:

struct ... {...} __attribute__((packed)) var;

This patch fixes few instances where the variable and attributes are placed
the other way around and had no effect.
