      [PATCH] Fix error value for opening block devices · d21db956
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com>
      
      Opening a non-existing block device currently yields an ENXIO error.  Doing
      the same for char devices produces the correct error ENODEV.

      [PATCH] kbuild ordering fix · 208204bc
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
      
      In the i386 case we need to generate asm-offset.h, before starting building
      the kernel tree.  Building asm-offset.h causes us to use one of the
      shorthands in the top-level makefile, namely the one for .s files.  The one
      that allows us to do: make some/dir/file.s
      
      And this shorthand happens to have a dependency to scripts, therefore I did
      not see this problem on i386.  But David hit it with sparc64, because there
      is no asm-offset.h file.  No parallel stuff involved here, just an ordinary
      error.

      [PATCH] Hack mptfusion to work on >4GB machines · 4ad1e20a
      Andi Kleen authored
      fusion needs several separately allocated coherent regions and
      requires that they all be in the same 4GB segment.  Obviously this may
      fail.  The hack is to force the coherent_dma_mask to 0xffffffff thus
      ensuring that all the allocations occur within the first 4GB.  This
      hack breaks Altix entirely.

      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      This is an improved version of the G4 "windtunnel" fan controller.  It
      depends on the keywest bugfix...

      [PATCH] keywest bugfix · f5dcac2b
      Samuel Rydh authored
      This fixes a deadlock in I2C probing.
      
       - keywest holds the pmac_low_i2c_lock while registering the i2c adapter.
       - i2c_add_adapter() notifies registered drivers by calling
         driver->attach_adapter().
       - a driver might access the i2c bus from attach_adapter() which
         deadlocks since all xfer routines take the lock.

      [PATCH] fix console oops/race · c6fb162e
      Andrew Morton authored
      Finally nailed this sucker.
      
      con_close() checks the tty->count and then sleeps in acquire_console_sem().
      But another process can come in and grab a ref against the tty while
      con_close() dropped the BKL.  But con_close() then proceeds to deallocate the
      tty->driver_data anyway, even though the tty now has ->count == 2.
      
      Fix that by moving the check for ->tty_count inside console_sem.

      [PATCH] critical x86-64 merge · e30b878a
      Andi Kleen authored
      There were some nasty bugs in the x86-64 code, including one race that
      could cause random reboots, especially on Intel machines, with the NMI
      watchdog.  This patch fixes them and also includes some harmless
      cleanups.
      
      Main fixes were for some buglets in the IOMMU code and the plugging of a
      race in the exception stack handling.  Also disables an broken MCE on K8
      explicitely.
      
      Also finally the preempt compile issues are fixed.
      
       - Declare hpet interrupt separately in drivers/char/rtc.c
       - Fix rtc.h/hpet.h to not depend on interrupt.h
       - Finally include smp_lock.h in hardirq.h
       - Update defconfig
       - Export bad_dma_address
       - Merge with 2.6.5rc2
       - Never schedule on interrupt stacks.
       - Add option to force software iotlb (iommu=soft)
       - Add ifdefs to gsi patch to match i386 (Bjorn Helgaas)
       - Fix K8 GART TLB MCE workaround to actually work
       - Fix dwarf2 unwind table in SAVE_ARGS (Jim Houston)
       - Disable APIC on VIA/NVidia even with acpi=off (Gwenole Beauchesne)
       - Fix parsing bug in "apic" option (Gwenole Beauchesne)
       - Fix dma mask handling in pci_alloc_consistent
       - Make pci_alloc_consistent more robust in low memory situations.
       - Print version number in oopses (from i386)
       - ACPI GSI cleanup (Bjorn Helgaas)
       - Disable K8 GART TLB walk error MCE explicitely
       - Add support to disable individual MCEs in the various banks.

      [PATCH] therm_adt7467 update · 3a86d964
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: "Colin Leroy" <colin@colino.net>
      
      The fan driver I wrote for adt746x looks like it only handles the adt7467
      chip found in iBooks G4; but it also handles the adt7460 chip found in the
      Powerbook G4 Alu.  Here's a patch that updates therm_adt7467.c, Kconfig and
      Makefile.
