      [PATCH] fix for kallsyms module symbol resolution problem · a8b9e8d7
      Andrew Morton authored
      From:  Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
      
      Fix a problem with kallsyms being unable to look up symbols which are in
      modules.
      
      add_kallsyms should be above module_finalize, which means you can just use
      the mod->symtab and mod->strtab members.

      [PATCH] rename one of the acpi_disable() instances · 52e01e04

      From:  Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>
      
      There's acpi_disable somewhere in the acpi interpreter (it disables
      interrupts, iirc).  Thus blacklisting function needs better name.

      [PATCH] ide-scsi error handling fixes · 4e9fbe87
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Willem Riede <wrlk@riede.org>
      
      The patch revises the error handling in ide-scsi, fixing the scheduling
      while locked issues, and make it work properly, at least for me...
      
      Specific changes in this patch:
      
      - introduce idescsi_expiry, a timeout routine for the ide subsystem,
        which simply flags the fact that the command timed out, but postpones
        any other action until either the command still finishes on its own
        (unlikely?) or the scsi error handler kicks in;
      
      - introduce idescsi_atapi_error and idescsi_atapi_abort, error routines
        for the ide subsystem, which are modeled after those of ide-cd, but
        take only minimal effort to recover, leaving the heavy lifting for
        the scsi error handler;
      
      - rewrite (and rename for clarity) idescsi_eh_abort and idescsi_eh_error,
        the abort/error routines to be called by the scsi error handler --
        this redesign should not have the scheduling while atomic problems
        of the old implementation.
      
      - move ide_cdrom_dump_status() from ide-cd.c to ide-lib.c as
        ide_dump_atapi_status() and both ide-cd and ide-scsi call it.
      
      - replaces BUG() by WARN_ON()/printk in the error handling code.
      
      - sets TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE before schedule_timeout() and moves the host
        unlock/lock around the while loop inside the loop in idescsi_eh_reset().

      [PATCH] selinux: Conditional policy extension and MLS detection support · e5c539b8
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>
      
      This patch extends the SELinux policy engine to support conditional policy
      logic based on a set of policy booleans, allowing well-formed changes to
      the policy to be defined within and mediated by the policy itself.
      
      The conditional policy extensions were implemented and contributed by
      Tresys Technology.
      
      Userland packages that support these extensions are already available from
      nsa.gov/selinux, and backward compatibility is provided for the prior
      policy version.
      
      The patch also includes a small change to enable detection of the optional
      MLS policy model on a SELinux system and fixes to the conditional policy
      extensions to allow the MLS policy to work correctly with them that were
      implemented and contributed by Trusted Computer Solutions.

      [PATCH] ppc32 compile fix · fb3f7b77
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Tom Rini <trini@kernel.crashing.org>
      
      The problem is that on PPC32 (and probably sparc64) 'asmlinkage' is a
      useless keyword, and should just be removed from include/asm-ppc/unistd.h.

      [PATCH] Save some memory in mem_map on x86-64 · 5bfec9f6
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
      
      This patch saves 2MB of memory on a 1GB x86-64 machine, 20MB on a 10GB
      machine.  It does this by eliminating 8 bytes of useless padding in struct
      page.
      
      This resurrects an older patch in a hopefully cleaner form.

      [PATCH] Fix early parallel make failures · 952a0ae3
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
      
      Ingo said:
      
        Starting at around 2.6.4-rc2-mm1, I keep seeing 'scripts/fixdep: Text
        file busy' messages when doing a -j10 bzImage build - which seems to
        suggest that by the time fixdep is used by the build system it's not
        built yet.
      
      Sam said:
      
      I was pretty sure it was something I had caused, so I gave it a spin.  What
      actually happened was that we tried to build the target 'silentoldconfig'
      in parrallel with 'scripts'.  Since 'silentoldconfig' started a new make
      and then the config target needed 'scripts' we saw two parallel runs.
      
      The way I decided to fix it was to split scripts/ in two parts.  The first
      part is now the very basic stuff - moved to scripts/basic/.  The second
      part is dependent on kernel config etc.  and kept in scripts/
      
      In the 2.7 timeframe i will redo this initial stuff - it's becoming too
      messy for anyone to understand today.
      
      
      Description:
      
      Fix dependencies in early phases of kernel build.  This solves a few
      problems nively: modpost is no longer rebuild twicewhen reaching the
      'target' state 'make -j10' now works nicely again
      
      The patch is rather large due to the following file moves:
      mkdir scripts/basic
      mv scripts/fixdep.c        scripts/basic
      mv scripts/split-include.c scripts/basic
      mv scripts/docproc.c       scripts/basic

      [PATCH] g5: Fix iommu vs. pci_device_to_OF_node · 99dd57a5
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      The g5 iommu code would fill the "iommu_table" member of whatever
      device node was pointed to by pcidev->sysdata during boot. However,
      the ppc64 kernel fills that with a pointer to the PHB node which is
      later replaced "lazily" with a pointer to the real node when calling
      pci_device_to_OF_node(). In this case, we were thus "losign" the
      iommu_table pointer. Typical symptom: loss of the SATA when looking
      at it's /proc entry.
      
      This fixes it by forcing the update to the final sysdata pointer
      when filling up the iommu_table pointers. The "lazy" thing is useless
      on pmac anyway.

      [PATCH] ia64: Decode salinfo oemdata for SN2 via PROM · 130772ca
      Keith Owens authored
      SN2 platforms provide oemdata in salinfo records.  The decode of that
      oemdata is done via prom routines.  This patch provides the interface
      from user space through the kernel into the prom to do the oem decode.

      [PATCH] sys_swapon bad arg causing slab corruption · a1f846e8
      Jens Axboe authored
      There's an error in sys_swapon() that can cause slab corruption if you
      pass in a bad specialfile pointer. getname() then returns
      ERR_PTR(-EFAULT), but sys_swapon() doesn't clear name before calling
      putname() on it (thus freeing 0xfffffff2, corrupting slab). An ltp test
      case repeatedly crashed in later tests due to thus, irk.

      [PATCH] Set module owner in megaraid driver · 17563a77
      Paul Wagland authored
      This bug was discussed on linux-scsi a few weeks back, but it appears to
      have slipped through the cracks. This fix was originally proposed by
      Christoph Hellwig, but I am reposting it, since I have the hardware :-)
      
      Anyway, the problem that this fixes is that megaraid doesn't set the
      moduler owner for the host_template, this means that the module can be
      removed, even when it is in use.
