I'd like to assign NULL to kfree()d members of a structure. I can't do
that without ugly casting (see the PXA patch) when the structure pointed to
is const-qualified. I don't really see a reason why the cleanup method
isn't allowed to alter the object it should clean up. :-)
No, I didn't test the PXA patch, but I verified that the NULL-assignment
doesn't stop me from doing rmmod/insmodding my own spi_bitbang-based
driver.

Add the SPI controller driver for Freescale i.MX(S/L/1).
Main features summary:
> Per chip setup via board specific code and/or protocol driver.
> Per transfer setup.
> PIO transfers.
> DMA transfers.
> Managing of NULL tx / rx buffer for rd only / wr only transfers.
This patch replace patch-2.6.20-rc4-spi_imx with the following changes:
> Few cosmetic changes.
> Function map_dma_buffers now return 0 for success and -1 for failure.
> Solved a bug inside spi_imx_probe function (wrong error path).
> Solved a bug inside setup function (bad undo setup for max_speed_hz).
> For read-only transfers, always write zero bytes.
This is almost the same as the 'BIS' version sent by Andrea, except for
updating the 'DUMMY' byte so that read-only transfers shift out zeroes.
That part of the API changed recently, since some half duplex peripheral
chips require that semantic.

Currently, XFS uses BH_PrivateStart for flagging unwritten extent state in a
bufferhead. Recently, I found the long standing mmap/unwritten extent
conversion bug, and it was to do with partial page invalidation not clearing
the unwritten flag from bufferheads attached to the page but beyond EOF. See
here for a full explaination:
http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00196.html
The solution I have checked into the XFS dev tree involves duplicating code
from block_invalidatepage to clear the unwritten flag from the bufferhead(s),
and then calling block_invalidatepage() to do the rest.
Christoph suggested that this would be better solved by pushing the unwritten
flag into the common buffer head flags and just adding the call to
discard_buffer():

The current ccw_device_set_options() sets a specified mask of options
and clears those not specified, but there is no way to find out which
options have already been set.
In order to fix this up, introduce the following interface changes:
ccw_device_set_options() now only sets the specified bits, but does
not clear those that are not specified.
ccw_device_clear_options() clears the specified bits.
ccw_device_set_options_mask() provides the old semantics (setting only
the specified bits and clearing the others).
Device drivers now work as expected. qdio has been adapted.

This patch contains two fixes for RapisIO enumeration logic:
1. Fix enumeration in configurations with multiple switches. The patch adds:
a. Enumeration of an empty switch. Empty switch is a switch that
does not have any endpoint devices attached to it (except host device
or previous switch in a chain). New code assigns a phony destination
ID associated with the switch and sets up corresponding routes.
b. Adds a second pass to the enumeration to setup routes to
devices discovered after switch was scanned.
2. Fix enumeration failure when riohdid parameter has non-zero value.
Current version fails to setup response path to the host when it has
destination ID other that 0.

Extend the set of "__attribute__" shortcut macros, and remove identical
(and now superfluous) definitions from a couple of source files.
based on a page at robert love's blog:
http://rlove.org/log/2005102601
extend the set of shortcut macros defined in compiler-gcc.h with the
following:
#define __packed __attribute__((packed))
#define __weak __attribute__((weak))
#define __naked __attribute__((naked))
#define __noreturn __attribute__((noreturn))
#define __pure __attribute__((pure))
#define __aligned(x) __attribute__((aligned(x)))
#define __printf(a,b) __attribute__((format(printf,a,b)))
Once these are in place, it's up to subsystem maintainers to decide if they
want to take advantage of them. there is already a strong precedent for
using shortcuts like this in the source tree.
The ones that might give people pause are "__aligned" and "__printf", but
shortcuts for both of those are already in use, and in some ways very
confusingly. note the two very different definitions for a macro named
"ALIGNED":
drivers/net/sgiseeq.c:#define ALIGNED(x) ((((unsigned long)(x)) + 0xf) & ~(0xf))
drivers/scsi/ultrastor.c:#define ALIGNED(x) __attribute__((aligned(x)))
also:
include/acpi/platform/acgcc.h:
#define ACPI_PRINTF_LIKE(c) __attribute__ ((__format__ (__printf__, c, c+1)))
Given the precedent, then, it seems logical to at least standardize on a
consistent set of these macros.

This is an "RTC framework" driver for the "CMOS" RTCs which are standard on
PCs and some other platforms. That's MC146818 compatible silicon.
Advantages of this vs. drivers/char/rtc.c (use one _or_ the other, only
one will be able to claim the RTC irq) include:
- This leverages both the new RTC framework and the driver model; both
PNPACPI and platform device modes are supported. (A separate patch
creates a platform device on PCs where PNPACPI isn't configured.)
- It supports common extensions like longer alarms. (A separate patch
exports that information from ACPI through platform_data.)
- Likewise, system wakeup events use "real driver model support", with
policy control via sysfs "wakeup" attributes and and using normal rtc
ioctls to manage wakeup. (Patch in the works. The ACPI hooks are
known; /proc/acpi/alarm can vanish. Making it work with EFI will
be a minor challenge to someone with e.g. a MiniMac.)
It's not yet been tested on non-x86 systems, without ACPI, or with HPET.
And the RTC framework will surely have teething pains on "mainstream"
PC-based systems (though must embedded Linux systems use it heavily), not
limited to sorting out the "/dev/rtc0" issue (udev easily tweaked). Also,
the ALSA rtctimer code doesn't use the new RTC API.
Otherwise, this should be a no-known-regressions replacement for the old
drivers/char/rtc.c driver, and should help the non-embedded distros (and
the new timekeeping code) start to switch to the framework.
Note also that any systems using "rtc-m48t86" are candidates to switch over
to this more functional driver; the platform data is different, and the way
bytes are read is different, but otherwise those chips should be compatible.

The patch to identify AIX disks and ignore them has caused at least one
machine to fail to find the root partition on 2.6.19. The patch is:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/31/117
The problem is some disk formatters do not blow away the first 4 bytes
of the disk. If the disk we are installing to used to have AIX on it,
then the first 4 bytes will still have IBMA in EBCDIC.
The install in question was debian etch. Im not sure what the best fix
is, perhaps the AIX detection code could check more than the first 4
bytes.
The whole partition info for primary partitions is in this block:
dd if=/dev/sdb count=$(( 4 * 16 )) bs=1 skip=$(( 0x1be ))
All other data do not matter, beside the 0x55aa marker at the end of the
first block.

The 32bit and 64bit PARISC Linux kernels suffers from the problem, that the
gettimeofday() call sometimes returns non-monotonic times.
The easiest way to fix this, is to drop the PARISC-specific implementation
and switch over to the generic TIME_INTERPOLATION framework.
But in order to make it even compile on 32bit PARISC, the patch below which
touches the generic Linux code, is mandatory.
More information and the full patch with the parisc-specific changes is included in this thread: http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2006-December/031003.html
As far as I could see, this patch does not change anything for the existing
architectures which use this framework (IA64 and SPARC64), since "cycles_t"
is defined there as unsigned 64bit-integer anyway (which then makes this
patch a no-change for them).

Allow taint flags to be set from userspace by writing to
/proc/sys/kernel/tainted, and add a new taint flag, TAINT_USER, to be used
when userspace has potentially done something dangerous that might
compromise the kernel. This will allow support personnel to ask further
questions about what may have caused the user taint flag to have been set.
For example, they might examine the logs of the realtime JVM to see if the
Java program has used the really silly, stupid, dangerous, and
completely-non-portable direct access to physical memory feature which MUST
be implemented according to the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ).

The PNP framework doesn't export "pnp_bus_type", which is an unfortunate
exception to the policy followed by pretty much every other bus. I noticed
this when I had to find a device in order to provide its platform_data.
Note that per advice from Arjan, the "export" scope has been been minimized to
avoid the hundred-plus bytes needed to support access from modules. In this
case, the symbol is only needed by statically linked kernel code that lives
outside the drivers/pnp directory.

mnt_count & mnt_expiry_mark are modified each time a file is opened/closed

touch_atime() is called each time a file is read, and generally needs to
read mnt_flags.
Other fields of struct vfsmount are mostly read so I chose to move
mnt_count & mnt_expiry_mark at the end of struct vfsmount. And adding a

- It moves looking up of the current foreground console into process

- It uses the new flavor of work queue processing.
- This generates a factor of do_SAK, __do_SAK that runs immediately.
- This calls __do_SAK with the console semaphore held ensuring nothing
else happens to the console while we process the SAK operation.
- With the console SAK processing moved into process context this

x86_64 needs some TLS fixes. What was missing was remembering the child
thread id during clone and stuffing it into the child during each context
switch.
The %fs value is stored separately in the thread structure since the host
controls what effect it has on the actual register file. The host also needs
to store it in its own thread struct, so we need the value kept outside the
register file.
arch_prctl_skas was fixed to call PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL appropriately. There is
some saving and restoring of registers in the ARCH_SET_* cases so that the
correct set of registers are changed on the host and restored to the process
when it runs again.

Recent as(1) doesn't think that . terminates a macro name, so getuser.l is
_not_ treated as invoking getuser with .l as the first argument.
arch/m68k/math-emu relies on old behaviour, so it gets a lot of undefined
macros with more or less current binutils.
Note that this behaviour remains in all recent versions and is unrelated to
another binutils problems we used to have for a while (having (%a0)+ parsed
as two arguments). This one is there to stay; it's an intentional and
documented change.
.irp <identifier> <words>
[text]
.endr
expands to a copy of text per each word, with \<identifier> replaced with
corresponding word. Again, what happens depends on whether gas_ident.x
is treated as one or as two tokens; in the former case we'll get old_gas
incremented once, in the latter - twice. The rest is obvious.
Unlike .macro argument list _anything_ is explicitly allowed after
.irp <identifier>; here we are on very safe ground. And yes, it does
work with all gas variants I've got here (including vanilla 2.15, 2.16,
2.16.1 and 2.17, plus debian and FC binutils).

shmem backed file does not have page writeback, nor it participates in
backing device's dirty or writeback accounting. So using generic
__set_page_dirty_nobuffers() for its .set_page_dirty aops method is a bit
overkill. It unnecessarily prolongs shm unmap latency.
For example, on a densely populated large shm segment (sevearl GBs), the
unmapping operation becomes painfully long. Because at unmap, kernel
transfers dirty bit in PTE into page struct and to the radix tree tag. The
operation of tagging the radix tree is particularly expensive because it
has to traverse the tree from the root to the leaf node on every dirty
page. What's bothering is that radix tree tag is used for page write back.
However, shmem is memory backed and there is no page write back for such
file system. And in the end, we spend all that time tagging radix tree and
none of that fancy tagging will be used. So let's simplify it by introduce
a new aops __set_page_dirty_no_writeback and this will speed up shm unmap.

Currently if we have a non-zero ZONES_SHIFT we assume we are able to rely
on that as the bottom edge of the ZONEID, if not then we use the
NODES_PGOFF as the right end of either NODES _or_ SECTION. This latter is
more luck than judgement and would be incorrect if we reordered the
SECTION,NODE,ZONE options in the fields space.
Really what we want is the lower of the right hand end of the two fields we
are using (either NODE,ZONE or SECTION,ZONE). Codify that explicitly. As
always allow for there being no bits in either of the fields, such as might
be valid in a non-numa machine with only a zone NORMAL.

The determination of the dirty ratio to determine writeback behavior is
currently based on the number of total pages on the system.
However, not all pages in the system may be dirtied. Thus the ratio is always
too low and can never reach 100%. The ratio may be particularly skewed if
large hugepage allocations, slab allocations or device driver buffers make
large sections of memory not available anymore. In that case we may get into
a situation in which f.e. the background writeback ratio of 40% cannot be
reached anymore which leads to undesired writeback behavior.
This patchset fixes that issue by determining the ratio based on the actual
pages that may potentially be dirty. These are the pages on the active and
the inactive list plus free pages.
The problem with those counts has so far been that it is expensive to
calculate these because counts from multiple nodes and multiple zones will
have to be summed up. This patchset makes these counters ZVC counters. This
means that a current sum per zone, per node and for the whole system is always
available via global variables and not expensive anymore to calculate.
The patchset results in some other good side effects:
- Removal of the various functions that sum up free, active and inactive
page counts
- Cleanup of the functions that display information via the proc filesystem.
This patch:
The use of a ZVC for nr_inactive and nr_active allows a simplification of some
counter operations. More ZVC functionality is used for sums etc in the
following patches.

This is kind of hokey, we could use the hardware provided facilities
much better.
MSIs are assosciated with MSI Queues. MSI Queues generate interrupts
when any MSI assosciated with it is signalled. This suggests a
two-tiered IRQ dispatch scheme:
MSI Queue interrupt --> queue interrupt handler
MSI dispatch --> driver interrupt handler
But we just get one-level under Linux currently. What I'd like to do
is possibly stick the IRQ actions into a per-MSI-Queue data structure,
and dispatch them form there, but the generic IRQ layer doesn't
provide a way to do that right now.
So, the current kludge is to "ACK" the interrupt by processing the
MSI Queue data structures and ACK'ing them, then we run the actual
handler like normal.
We are wasting a lot of useful information, for example the MSI data
and address are provided with ever MSI, as well as a system tick if
available. If we could pass this into the IRQ handler it could help
with certain things, in particular for PCI-Express error messages.
The MSI entries on sparc64 also tell you exactly which bus/device/fn
sent the MSI, which would be great for error handling when no
registered IRQ handler can service the interrupt.
We override the disable/enable IRQ chip methods in sun4v_msi, so we
have to call {mask,unmask}_msi_irq() directly from there. This is
another ugly wart.

Some partitioning systems create special partitions that
span the entire disk. One example are Sun partitions, and
this whole-disk partition exists to tell the firmware the
extent of the entire device so it can load the boot block
and do other things.
Such partitions should not be treated as normal partitions,
because all the other partitions overlap this whole-disk one.
So we'd see multiple instances of the same UUID etc. which
we do not want. udev and friends can thus search for this

irq_on and irq_ack respectively.
In some drivers (ex: ahci, sata_sil24) which cannot use them
as is, ata_dummy_irq_on() and ata_dummy_irq_ack() are used.
