This patch adds dummy gameport_register_port, gameport_unregister_port
and gameport_set_phys functions to gameport.h for the case when a driver
can't use gameport.
This fixes the compilation of some OSS drivers with GAMEPORT=n without
the need to #if inside every single driver.
This patch also removes the non-working and now obsolete SOUND_GAMEPORT.
This patch is also an alternative solution for ALSA drivers with similar
problems (but #if's inside the drivers might have the advantage of
saving some more bytes of gameport is not available).
The only user-visible change is that for GAMEPORT=m the affected OSS
drivers are now allowed to be built statically (but they won't have
gameport support).

Jens Axboe pointed out that the iounmap() call in libata was occurring
too early, and some drivers (ahci, probably others) were using ioremap'd
memory after it had been unmapped.
The patch should address that problem by way of improving the libata
driver API:
* move ->host_stop() call after all ->port_stop() calls have occurred.
* create default helper function ata_host_stop(), and move iounmap()
call there.
* add ->host_stop_prewalk() hook, use it in sata_qstor.c (hi Mark).
sata_qstor appears to require the host-stop-before-port-stop ordering
that existed prior to applying the attached patch.
We fixed this bug before, but it didn't take. It may have been the case
that the problem was first noticed to occur in a CONFIG_REGPARM compile.
But it's not regparm functions that need not to make tail calls, it's
asmlinkage functions called with a user pt_regs frame on the stack
supplying their arguments. prevent_tail_call probably doesn't do anything
at all in regparm functions (your argument registers are going to be
clobbered, period). It was a braino to conditionalize that definition in
the first place.

a) TYPE_SDAD renamed to TYPE_RBC and taken to scsi.h
b) in sbp2.c remapping of TYPE_RPB to TYPE_DISK turned off
c) relevant places in midlayer and sd.c taught to accept TYPE_RBC
d) sd.c::sd_read_cache_type() looks into page 6 when dealing with
TYPE_RBC - these guys have writeback cache flag there and are not guaranteed
to have page 8 at all.
e) sd_read_cache_type() got an extra sanity check - it checks that
it got the page it asked for before using its contents. And screams if
mismatch had happened. Rationale: there are broken devices out there that
are "helpful" enough to go for "I don't have a page you've asked for, here,
have another one". For example, PL3507 had been caught doing just that...
f) sbp2 sets sdev->use_10_for_rw and sdev->use_10_for_ms instead
of bothering to remap READ6/WRITE6/MOD_SENSE, so most of the conversions
in there are gone now.
Incidentally, I wonder if USB storage devices that have no
mode page 8 are simply RBC ones. I haven't touched that, but it might
be interesting to check...

Older UltraSPARC-III chips have a P-Cache bug that makes us disable it
by default at boot time.
However, this does hurt performance substantially, particularly with
memcpy(), and the bug is _incredibly_ obscure. I have never seen it
triggered in practice, ever.
So provide a "-P" boot option that forces the P-Cache on. It taints
the kernel, so if it does trigger and cause some data corruption or
OOPS, we will find out in the logs that this option was on when it
happened.

In _spin_unlock_bh(lock):
do { \

preempt_enable(); \
local_bh_enable(); \
__release(lock); \
} while (0)
there is no reason for using preempt_enable() instead of a simple
preempt_enable_no_resched()
Since we know bottom halves are disabled, preempt_schedule() will always
return at once (preempt_count!=0), and hence preempt_check_resched() is
useless here...
This fixes it by using "preempt_enable_no_resched()" instead of the
"preempt_enable()", and thus avoids the useless preempt_check_resched()
just before re-enabling bottom halves.

The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that:

- 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.

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.

This is version 18 of the Wireless Extensions. The main change
is that it adds all the necessary APIs for WPA and WPA2 support. This
work was entirely done by Jouni Malinen, so let's thank him for both
his hard work and deep expertise on the subject ;-)
This APIs obviously doesn't do much by itself and works in
concert with driver support (Jouni already sent you the HostAP
changes) and userspace (Jouni is updating wpa_supplicant). This is
also orthogonal with the ongoing work on in-kernel IEEE support (but
potentially useful).
The patch is attached, tested with 2.6.11. Normally, I would
ask you to push that directly in the kernel (99% of the patch has been
on my web page for ages and it does not affect non-WPA stuff), but
Jouni convinced me that it should bake a few weeks in wireless-2.6
first, so that other driver maintainers can get up to speed with it.

shutdown credential information. It creates a new message type
AUDIT_TERM_INFO, which is used by the audit daemon to query who issued the
shutdown.
It requires the placement of a hook function that gathers the information. The
hook is after the DAC & MAC checks and before the function returns. Racing
threads could overwrite the uid & pid - but they would have to be root and
have policy that allows signalling the audit daemon. That should be a
manageable risk.
The userspace component will be released later in audit 0.7.2. When it
receives the TERM signal, it queries the kernel for shutdown information.
When it receives it, it writes the message and exits. The message looks
like this:
type=DAEMON msg=auditd(1114551182.000) auditd normal halt, sending pid=2650

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Since we only access reiserfs_key ->u.k_offset_v2 guts in four helper

- 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.

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

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).

There were still a few comments left refering to verify_area, and two
functions, verify_area_skas & verify_area_tt that just wrap corresponding
access_ok_skas & access_ok_tt functions, just like verify_area does for
access_ok - deprecate those.
There was also a few places that still used verify_area in commented-out
code, fix those up to use access_ok.
After applying this one there should not be anything left but finally
removing verify_area completely, which will happen after a kernel release
or two.

The synchronize_kernel() primitive is used for quite a few different purposes:
waiting for RCU readers, waiting for NMIs, waiting for interrupts, and so on.
This makes RCU code harder to read, since synchronize_kernel() might or might
not have matching rcu_read_lock()s. This patch creates a new
synchronize_rcu() that is to be used for RCU readers and a new
synchronize_sched() that is used for the rest. These two new primitives
currently have the same implementation, but this is might well change with
additional real-time support. Both new primitives are GPL-only, the old
primitive is deprecated.

The attached patch moves the IRQ-related SA_xxx flags (namely, SA_PROBE,
SA_SAMPLE_RANDOM and SA_SHIRQ) from all the arch-specific headers to
linux/signal.h. This looks like a left-over after the irq-handling code
was consolidated. The code was moved to kernel/irq/*, but the flags are
still left per-arch.
Right now, adding a new IRQ flag to the arch-specific header, like this
patch does:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/alsa/alsa-driver/utils/patches/pcsp-kernel-2.6.10-03.diff?rev=1.1
no longer works, it breaks the compilation for all other arches, unless you
add that flag to all the other arch-specific headers too. So I think such
a clean-up makes sense.

Add a pair of rlimits for allowing non-root tasks to raise nice and rt
priorities. Defaults to traditional behavior. Originally written by
Chris Wright.
The patch implements a simple rlimit ceiling for the RT (and nice) priorities
a task can set. The rlimit defaults to 0, meaning no change in behavior by
default. A value of 50 means RT priority levels 1-50 are allowed. A value of
100 means all 99 privilege levels from 1 to 99 are allowed. CAP_SYS_NICE is
blanket permission.

We want to make possible, for the user, to enable the i586 AES implementation.
This requires a restructure.
- Add a CONFIG_UML_X86 to notify that we are building a UML for i386.
- Rename CONFIG_64_BIT to CONFIG_64BIT as is used for all other archs
- Tell crypto/Kconfig that UML_X86 is as good as X86
- Tell it that it must exclude not X86_64 but 64BIT, which will give the
same results.
- Tell kbuild to descend down into arch/i386/crypto/ to build what's needed.

Prevent the kernel from oopsing during the extable sorting, as it can do
now, because the extable is in the readonly section of the binary.
Jeff says: The exception table turned RO in 2.6.11-rc3-mm1 for some reason.
Moving it causes it to land in the writable data section of the binary.
Paolo says: This patch fixes a oops on startup, which can be easily
triggered by compiling with CONFIG_MODE_TT disabled, and STATIC_LINK either
disabled or enabled. The resulting kernel will always Oops on startup,
after printing this simple output:

The specifications that talk about E820 map doesn't have an upper limit on
the number of e820 entries. But, today's kernel has a hard limit of 32.
With increase in memory size, we are seeing the number of E820 entries
reaching close to 32. Patch below bumps the number upto 128.
The patch changes the location of EDDBUF in zero-page (as it comes after E820).
As, EDDBUF is not used by boot loaders, this patch should not have any effect
on bootloader-setup code interface.
Patch covers both i386 and x86-64.
Tested on:
* grub booting bzImage
* lilo booting bzImage with EDID info enabled
* pxeboot of bzImage
Side-effect:
bss increases by ~ 2K and init.data increases by ~7.5K
on all systems, due to increase in size of static arrays.

Currently the i386 HPET code assumes the entire HPET implementation from
the spec is present. This breaks on boxes that do not implement the
optional legacy timer replacement functionality portion of the spec.
This patch, which is very similar to my x86-64 patch for the same issue,
fixes the problem allowing i386 systems that cannot use the HPET for the
timer interrupt and RTC to still use the HPET as a time source. I've
tested this patch on a system systems without HPET, with HPET but without
legacy timer replacement, as well as HPET with legacy timer replacement.
