20bb86852a [IA64] Wire in the MCA/INIT handler stacks
Wire the MCA/INIT handler stacks into DTR[2] and track them in
IA64_KR(CURRENT_STACK).  This gives the MCA/INIT handler stacks the
same TLB status as normal kernel stacks.  Reload the old CURRENT_STACK
data on return from OS to SAL.

83a78d9ba7 [IA64] Fix simscsi for new SCSI midlayer
The sd driver now uses scsi_execute_req() for almost everything.
scsi_execute_req() converts requests into scatterlists.

Fix the HP SCSI disk simulator to understand scatterlists for
more commands.

Without this patch the current kernel will not boot on the simulator
(the disks are always detected as having no sectors, and so cannot be
mounted).

a85a46f2c3 [PATCH] USB: fix pegasus driver
Addresses some small bugs in the pegasus ethernet-over-USB driver.
Specifically, malformed long packets from the adapter could cause a kernel
panic; the interrupt interval calculation was inappropriate for high-speed
devices; the return code from read_mii_word was tested incorrectly; and
failure to unlink outstanding URBs before freeing them could lead to kernel
panics when unloading the driver.

4b2e790a4d [PATCH] USB: sl811-hcd minor fixes
Three minor sl811-hcd fixes:

 - Elminate memory leak on one (rare) disable/shutdown path.

 - For periodic transfers that don't need to be scheduled, update
   urb->start_frame to represent the transfer phase correctly.

 - Report the (single) port as removable, by default.

Since no drivers yet use start_frame or that part of the hub descriptor,
only that leak is likely to ever matter.

72a755fce0 [PATCH] USB: ftdi_sio: allow baud rate to be changed without raising RTS and DTR
I'm using a 2 port USB RS232 dongle to connect to a serial-IR cradle for
a bar code reader). Detecting the baudrate of the serial-IR involves
keeping DTR low while changing baudrate.

This works using normal 16550A serial ports as well as the FTDI driver
version 1.4.0 (Linux 2.6.8) but stopped working with the change to
"ensure RTS and DTR are raised when changing baudrate" introduced in
version 1.4.1 (Linux 2.6.9).

The attached patch fixes this, so RTS and DTR is only raised when
changing baudrate iff the previous baudrate was B0.

3c6de9295d [PATCH] fix drivers/pci/probe.c warning
This function expects an unsigned 32-bit type as its third argument:

 static u32 pci_size(u32 base, u32 maxbase, u32 mask)

However, given these definitions:

 #define PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_MASK (~0x0fUL)
 #define PCI_ROM_ADDRESS_MASK (~0x7ffUL)

these two calls in drivers/pci/probe.c are problematic for architectures
for which a UL is not equivalent to a u32:

 sz = pci_size(l, sz, PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_MASK);
 sz = pci_size(l, sz, PCI_ROM_ADDRESS_MASK);

Hence the below compile warning when building for ARCH=ppc64:

 drivers/pci/probe.c: In function `pci_read_bases':
 /.../probe.c:168: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type
 /.../probe.c:218: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type

Here is a simple fix.

3e51377dc4 [PATCH] fix class symlinks in sysfs
The class symlinks in sysfs don't properly handle changing device names.

To demonstrate, rename your network device from eth0 to eth1. Your
pci (or usb, or whatever) device will still have a 'net:eth0' link,
except now it points to /sys/class/net/eth1.

The attached patch makes sure the class symlink name changes when
the class device name changes. It isn't 100% correct, it should be
using sysfs_rename_link. Unfortunately, sysfs_rename_link doesn't exist.

4c898c7f2f [PATCH] Driver Core: fis bus rescan devices race
bus_rescan_devices_helper() does not hold the dev->sem when it checks for
!dev->driver().  device_attach() holds the sem, but calls again
device_bind_driver() even when dev->driver is set.

What happens is that a first device_attach() call (module insertion time)
is on the way binding the device to a driver.  Another thread calls
bus_rescan_devices().  Now when bus_rescan_devices_helper() checks for
dev->driver it is still NULL 'cos the the prior device_attach() is not yet
finished.  But as soon as the first one releases the dev->sem the second
device_attach() tries to rebind the already bound device again.
device_bind_driver() does this blindly which leads to a corrupt
driver->klist_devices list (the device links itself, the head points to the
device).  Later a call to device_release_driver() sets dev->driver to NULL
and breaks the link it has to itself on knode_driver.  Rmmoding the driver
later calls driver_detach() which leads to an endless loop 'cos the list
head in klist_devices still points to the device.  And since dev->driver is
NULL it's stuck with the same device forever.  Boom.  And rmmod hangs.

Very easy to reproduce with new-style pcmcia and a 16bit card.  Just loop
modprobe <pcmcia-modules> ;cardctl eject; rmmod <card driver, pcmcia
modules>.

Easiest fix is to check if the device is already bound to a driver in
device_bind_driver().  This avoids the double binding.

efb0372bba [PATCH] uml: fix compile warning after consolidation patch
The header declaring this function wasn't included, so the function declaration
was totally bogus wrt. the proto - even if this wasn't going to fail at all.

It was so bad that the compile warning I got was "control reaches end of
non-void function", i.e. missing return. Actually, this has been there for ages,
the consolidation patch just added the warning which was needed to clean it up.
Nice. Really.

Well, the symbol was intended to come from userspace (it exists there on normal

However, rename it to be named consistently with the rest.

Actually, he missed converting ELFCLASS32 to coming from kernel headers. For
consistence, add ELFCLASS64 too.

Remove it from all arches having that file version (i.e. same GIT id).
$ git-diff-tree -r HEAD
and
$ git-ls-tree  -r HEAD include/|grep 9feff4ce14

7e2cff42cf [PATCH] mm: add a note about partially hardcoded VM_* flags
Hugh made me note this line for permission checking in mprotect():

		if ((newflags & ~(newflags >> 4)) & 0xf) {

after figuring out what's that about, I decided it's nasty enough.  Btw
Hugh itself didn't like the 0xf.

We can safely change it to VM_READ|VM_WRITE|VM_EXEC because we never change
VM_SHARED, so no need to check that.

7e871b6c8f [PATCH] mm: update stale comment for removal of page->list
Update comment for the 2.6.6-rc1 conversion from page->list and
address_space->{clean,dirty,locked}_pages to radix tree tagging and ->lru.

I've mostly avoided to mention page lists (at least I've shortened the
comment).

f875a1a665 [PATCH] README update from the stone age
We have no options which the user can set in the Makefile.  Only the
EXTRAVERSION, which is also useful in place of the "backup modules"
suggestion.

We don't have configuration options in the top Makefile.

That comment is plain wrong (we even take the pagetable lock inside
unmap_region()).

8b20f6da20 [PATCH] Fix I2O config-osm init to return proper error
We currently unregister the config-osm driver if initialization of the
legacy ioctl() handlers failed but still return success.  We should be
returning -EBUSY in this case.

40da47e115 [PATCH] ppc64: Build zImage.vmode for G5
zImage.vmode was recently added.  It's a version of zImage in which the ELF
note section used by open firmware indicates that it requires a virtual
mode instance of OF instead of real mode.  This allows it to work with
Apple OF, and thus is directly bootable (or netbootable) from OF command
line.  (Unfortunately, pSeries OF sort-of requires real mode and Apple OF
sort-of requires virtual mode, and both tend to be unhappy if no notes
section specifies the mode at all).

However, we forgot to add zImage.vmode to the default G5 build. This
fixes it.
