Don't provide min/max for in8, which allowed one to scribble on
registers one should not be messing with. (My fault, oops.)

The setting of the temp high/low registers was off by one, not mine this
time.  While I was at it, I reordered a few other register accesses to
be base 0 instead of base 1.

The temp interface was slightly incorrect, degrees * 100 instead of
degrees * 1000, also fixed.

And lastly, when changing the fan count divisor, fix up the min setting
to still be roughly the same. (Previously the meaning of the value in
the register changed, but not the value itself, resulting in, undesired
surprises.)

Ok, after writing up something in the way of a perl script to make some
sense of the data for voltages, and finding that there is no sense to
make, I took a longer look at things.

The it87 driver in 2.5.x is doing some, down right /odd/ math on the
numbers for the in_input* readings, and the 2.4.x driver is doing
something quite different.

And while it might be possible to get sane numbers out of the 2.5.x
driver, people /expect/ to get the numbers that they were getting from
2.4.x.

So this patch puts things back to the simpler calculations done by the
2.4.x lm-sensors drivers, and my script confirms that the numbers come
out right.

This is against my last.

While the old code most definitely did /something/ to the register for
setting the fan div, the 'what' is a more interesting question.

To be honest I could not figure out what it was trying to do, because
the way it was inserting values disagreed with not only the data sheet,
but how it parsed the very same register.

This corrects the issue, and allows one to properly control the divisor
on all 3 fans, including the (much more limited) 3rd fan.

Add I2C classes for analog and digital cameras, and fix a typo.

This patch against 2.5.69 adds a security_inode_post_setxattr hook so that
security modules can update the inode security structure after a successful
setxattr, and it moves the existing security_inode_setxattr hook call after
the taking the inode semaphore so that atomicity is provided for the
security check and the update to the inode security structure.

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>

This patch against 2.5.68 implements an xattr handler for ext2 to support the
use of extended attributes by security modules for storing file security
labels.  As per the earlier discussion of extended attributes for security
modules, this handler uses a "security." prefix and allows for per-module
attribute names.  Security checking on userspace access to these attributes
can be performed by the security module using the LSM hooks in fs/xattr.c,
and the security module is free to internally use the inode operations
without restriction for managing its security labels.  Unlike the trusted
namespace, these labels are used internally for access control purposes by
the security module, and controls over userspace access to them require finer
granularity than capable() supports.

This patch moves the security_d_instantiate hook calls in d_instantiate and
d_splice_alias after the inode has been attached to the dentry.  This
change is necessary so that security modules can internally call the
getxattr inode operation (which takes a dentry parameter) from this hook to
obtain the inode security label.

Originally by David Mosberger, testing by Roger Luethi.  From the ia64 tree.

Basically, it avoids going to memory all the time.  What this does is make
life a lot easier for gcc, so it can actually do a decent amount of
optimization.  The restructuring clearly is less important for out-of-order
CPUs, but even there it gives some benefits.

More specifically, the loop is now structured to operate one "unsigned long"
at a time, rather than one bit at a time.  Of course, you still need to
process all the bits, but most of the relevant state in the inner loop can be
kept in registers.

Roger Luethi measured the routine on a bunch of different machines (mostly
x86, IIRC: P5, P6, Crusoe, Athlons) and performance improved there, too (and
it should definitely improve performance on any RISC-like architecture).

Ed Tomlinson has a machine on which some other device grabs IRQ12 first, and
the 8042 doesn't work.  Enabling shared iRQs in the 8042 driver fixes it up.
Alan has confirmed that this is OK.

From: Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com>


fget() shows up on profiles, especially on SMP.  Dipankar's patch
special-cases the situation wherein there are no sharers of current->files.

In this situation we know that no other process can close this file, so it
is not necessary to increment the file's refcount.

It's ugly as sin, but makes a substantial difference.

The test is

	dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1 count=1M

On 4CPU P3 xeon with 1MB L2 cache and 512MB ram:

	kernel           sys time     std-dev

below is the promised patch for better slab debugging, against 2.5.68-mm4:

Changes:

- enable redzoning and last user accounting even for large objects, if
  that doesn't waste too much memory

- document why FORCED_DEBUG doesn't enable redzoning&last user accounting
  for some caches.

- check the validity of the bufctl chains in a slab in __free_blocks.
  This detects double-free error for the caches without redzoning.

try_to_free_pages() currently fails to notice that it successfully freed slab
pages via shrink_slab().  So it can keep looping and eventually call
out_of_memory(), even though there's a lot of memory now free.

And even if it doesn't do that, it can free too much memory.

The patch changes try_to_free_pages() so that it will notice freed slab pages
and will return when enough memory has been freed via shrink_slab().

Many options were considered, but must of them were unacceptably inaccurate,
intrusive or sleazy.  I ended up putting the accounting into a stack-local
structure which is pointed to by current->reclaim_state.

One reason for this is that we can cleanly resurrect the current->local_pages
pool by putting it into struct reclaim_state.

(current->local_pages was removed because the per-cpu page pools in the page
allocator largely duplicate its function.  But it is still possible for
interrupt-time allocations to steal just-freed pages, so we might want to put
it back some time.)

With PAE on, there are only 4 PGD entries.  The kernel ones never change,
so there is no need to copy them when a vmalloc fault occurs.  This was
this was causing problems with the split pmd patches, but it is still
correct for mainline.

Tested with and without PAE.  I ran it in a loop turning on and off 10 swap
partitions, which is what excited the original bug.
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640

If a swapfile is ftruncated while in use, subsequent swapout will scribble on
the filesystem.

This is a case of root-shoot-foot, but wrecking the fs is a fairly rude
response.  And it's easy to fix: hold i_sem across the life of the swapon.

From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>

Real 80386 cpus ignore the write protected bit in the page tables when
running in supervisory mode.  Thus the write protected bit must be checked by
software.  The current implementation does that check during access_ok().
This can result in data corruptions, if kswapd starts a swap-out between the
access_ok and the actual write operation.

To fix this, the patch moves the check from access_ok() into
__copy_to_user_ll(), and redirects all user space writes into
__copy_to_user_ll().  The patch only affects kernels build for 80386 cpus.
Additionally, the patch removes the dead prototypes for __put_user_{1,2,4,8}.

Due to the uninlining of access_ok, the .text segment is now ~ 8 kB shorter.

I found a mistake in the dvbdev.c file when creating the dvb /devfs files,
it created /dev/dvb/adapter0device0 instead of /dev/dvb/adapter0/device0.
But here is a simple fix.
