0160f53e42 [PATCH] ppc64: Make eeh_init function again
My patch "Separate pci bits out of struct device_node" (commit
1635317fac) had the unfortunate
side-effect that it stopped eeh_init() from working correctly.

It needs the pointers set up by find_and_init_phbs(), but it was being
called just before find_and_init_phbs().  That meant that we didn't
enable EEH (pSeries PCI error recovery) on any devices, and that meant
that on POWER5 systems, the hypervisor wouldn't let us enable memory or
I/O space access to any devices, and their drivers got somewhat
confused.

This fixes it by moving the eeh_init call after find_and_init_phbs.
Tested on a POWER5 partition.

9db455064d [PATCH] v4l: experimental Sliced VBI API support
Adds all defines, ioctls and structs needed for the sliced VBI API

VBI = Vertical Blank Interval.

It is related with the way TV signals work.  It sends a line, then, it has a
retrace time to allow the tube to move electrons to the beginning of the next
line.  This was the main reason at the beginning of analog B&W TV.

There is a lot of bandwidth lost on VBI.  So, lots of TV systems use it to
send other information such as Closed Captions and Teletext.  Also,
broadcasters uses this as a channel to exchange information from the content
producer to their subsidiaries at each city.

There's already a raw VBI interface on V4L2 api, used for Closed Captions and
Teletext.  The decoding is doing at userlevel space and it is mostly for
analog TV signals, non encoded.

Encoded signals (MPEG, for example), may need also to transmit other
information (like, for example, display aspect, i.e.  4x3, widescreen...).
Sliced VBI interface is a method to allow the video stream to transmit this
kind of information.

Add the platform support code for two new Sharp Zaurus Models, Spitz

The missing link for Akita is the driver for its I2C io expander.  Once this
has been finished, the missing Kconfig option and machine declaration can
easily be added to this code.

50a5de4482 [PATCH] SharpSL: Abstract c7x0 specifics from Corgi SSP
Sharp's newer range of Zaurus clamshell handhelds, the cxx00's are similar to
the c7x0 series yet different.  This patch series abstracts the differences
and generates a set of common drivers that support both series of devices.  It
then adds machine support for Spitz (SL-C3000) and Borzoi (SL-C3100).  Hooks
for Akita (SL-C1000) differences are also added.  The I2C driver for its IO
expander is the only missing piece.

This patch:

Separate out the Sharp Zaurus c7x0 series specific code from corgi_ssp.c so
that other models such as the cxx00's can share it.  Create sharpsl.h which
will be used to abstract machine/model specifics.

This enables the driver to be used by the Zaurus cxx00 series.

bb2a37bf41 [PATCH] cciss: fix for DMA brokeness
The CCISS driver seems to loose track of DMA mappings created by it's
fill_cmd() routine.  Neither callers of this routine are extracting the DMA
address created in order to do the unmap.

Instead, they simply try to unmap 0x0.  It's easy to see this problem on an
x86_64 system when using the "swiotlb=force" boot option.  In this case, the
driver is leaking resources of the swiotlb and not causing a sync of the
bounce buffer.

Use the add_taint() interface for setting tainted bit flags instead of

498d0c5711 [PATCH] set_current_state() commentary
Explain the mysteries of set_current_state().

Quoth Linus:

 The scheduler itself never needs the memory barrier at all.

 The barrier is needed only if the user itself ends up testing some other
 thing afterwards, ie if you have

 	set_process_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
 	if (still_need_to_sleep())
 		schedule();

 then the "still_need_to_sleep()" thing may test flags and wakeup events,
 and then you _may_ want to (and often do) make sure that the write of
 TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE is serialized wrt the reads of any wakeup data (since
 the wakeup may have happened on another CPU).

 So the comment is somewhat wrong. We don't really _care_ whether the state
 propagates out to other CPU's since all of our actions are purely local,
 and there is nothing we do that is conditional on any other CPU: we're
 going to sleep unconditionally, and the scheduler only cares about _our_
 state, not about somebody elses state.

921717a2a1 [PATCH] Make BUILD_BUG_ON fail at compile time.
Force a compiler error instead of a link error, because they are easier to
track down.  Idea stolen from code by Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com>

If the argument to BUILD_BUG_ON evaluates to non-zero the compiler will do:

	t.c:6: error: size of array `type name' is negative

(surprised that gcc doesn't have an extension for this)

a1a5b3d93c [PATCH] open returns ENFILE but creates file anyway
When open(O_CREAT) is called and the error, ENFILE, is returned, the file
may be created anyway.  This is counter intuitive, against the SUS V3
specification, and may cause applications to misbehave if they are not
coded correctly to handle this semantic.  The SUS V3 specification
explicitly states "No files shall be created or modified if the function
returns -1.".

The error, ENFILE, is used to indicate the system wide open file table is
full and no more file structs can be allocated.

This is due to an ordering problem.  The entry in the directory is created
before the file struct is allocated.  If the allocation for the file struct
fails, then the system call must return an error, but the directory entry
was already created and can not be safely removed.

The solution to this situation is relatively easy.  The file struct should
be allocated before the directory entry is created.  If the allocation
fails, then the error can be returned directly.  If the creation of the
directory entry fails, then the file struct can be easily freed.

6a00cbfcf8 [PATCH] ppc32: discard *.exit.text and *.exit.data sections
Discard *.exit.text sections on runtime.  We cannot do this on link time
because of the way BUG macros are implemented.  If "__exit function" calls
one of those macros, __bug_table section will reference this function.
This is similar to ".altinstructions" situation on i386.

*.exit.data seems to be OK in this respect and is discarded on link
time.
