We've had several reoprts of the CPU jumping to 0x00000000 is do_ioctl(). I assume that there's a race and someone is zeroing out the ioctl handler while this CPU waits for the lock_kernel(). The patch adds code to detect this, then emits stuff which will hopefuly lead us to the culprit.

The current smc91x I/O routines ifdef the solution engine subtypes individually, which is rather bogus, as they can simply use CONFIG_SOLUTION_ENGINE instead. This fixes it for some of the other solution engines that weren't included in the ifdef list (SH7206 specifically). There are also inb/outb definitions which are totally bogus (missing brackets in _both_ cases, SMC_CAN_USE_8BIT == 0, and even better, they try to use a 16-bit access to fake 8-bit access). Kill that nonsense off completely.

To assure the symmetry of poll enable/disable in up/down, we should initialize the netdevice to be poll_disabled at load time. Doing this after register_netdevice leaves us open to another race, so lets move all the netif_* calls above register_netdevice so the stack starts out how we expect it to be.

Many drivers had code that did kill_vid, but they weren't doing vlan filtering. With new API the stub is unneeded unless device sets NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER.

The interface for network device VLAN extension was confusing. The kill_vid function is only really useful for devices that do hardware filtering. Devices that only do VLAN receiption without filtering were being forced to provide the hook, and there were bugs in those devices. Many drivers had kill_vid routine that called vlan_group_set_device, with NULL, but that is done already.

There is a thinko in the irq code, it uses IRQ_NONE to indicate no irq, whereas it should be using NO_IRQ. IRQ_NONE is returned from irq handlers to say "not handled". As it happens they currently have the same value (0), so this is just for future proof-ness.

In the bootwrapper code for powerpc, we include HOSTCFLAGS into the BOOTCFLAGS used for building the zImage wrapper code. Since the wrapper code is not host code, this makes no sense. This patch removes the use of HOSTCFLAGS here, instead including directly into BOOTCFLAGS those flags from the normal kernel CFLAGS which also make sense in the bootwrapper code. In particular, this makes the bootwrapper use -msoft-float, preventing the compiler from generating floating point instructions. Previously, under some circumstances the compiler could generate floating point instructions in the bootwrapper which would cause exceptions on embedded CPUS which don't have floating point support.

I think we have a subtle race on ppc64 with the tlb batching. The common code expects tlb_flush() to actually flush any pending TLB batch. It does that because it delays all page freeing until after tlb_flush() is called, in order to ensure no stale reference to those pages exist in any TLB, thus causing potential access to the freed pages. However, our tlb_flush only triggers the RCU for freeing page table pages, it does not currently trigger a flush of a pending TLB/hash batch, which is, I think, an error. This fixes it.

The recent addition of assembler flags for 44x.c and ebony.c in the bootwrapper to make them compile on certain toolchains was not correct and could break other platforms. This patch switches to using a compiler flag instead, which implies the appropriate assembler flag, and also stops the compiler itself generating instructions which are invalid for the platform in question.

The ppc32 kernel didn't properly set/clear the TIF_SINGLESTEP flag, causing return from syscalls to not SIGTRAP, thus executing one more instruction before stopping again. This fixes it. The ptrace code is a bit of a mess, and is overdue for at least a -proper- 32/64 bits split and possibly more cleanups but this minimum fix should be ok for 2.6.22 Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Last of the "Section mismatch" errors from ia64 builds! acpi_map_pxm_to_node() is defined with attribute __cpuinit, but is called by "normal" kernel functions acpi_getnode() and acpi_map_cpu2node().
