There is a race condition int pty.c when pty_close wakes up waiter on its
pair device before set TTY_OTHER_CLOSED flag.

It is possible on SMP or preempt kernel, waiter wakes up too early that it
will not get TTY_OTHER_CLOSED flag then fall into sleep again - missed wakeup.

hjl reports that this bug will hang some expect scripts on SMP machines.

The aty128fb driver in 2.6.10-rc3 tries to release an unrequested range
during driver unload.  This results in the following printout on my Apple
G4 Cube:

The remedy is simple - do not release the unrequested range.

This is the third of 3 patches from David Woodhouse which fix various
problems with signal handling on ppc64.

At present, if a signal is being delivered, and the process has specified
delivery of that signal on an alternate stack but the alternate stack that
has been specified is invalid (i.e.  the kernel gets a fault writing to the
alternate stack), then we (correctly) give the process a SIGSEGV but we put
the wrong signal mask in the saved state on the stack - i.e.  we put the
mask that would have been established for the original signal handler
there.

This patch fixes it by making setup_rt_frame, handle_rt_signal32 and
handle_signal32 return a status code to indicate whether they successfully
established a stack frame.  If they fail, the caller doesn't block the
signals specified for the signal handler.

This is the second of 3 patches from David Woodhouse which fix various
problems with signal handling on ppc64.

The problem that this patch fixes is that a process being single-stepped
will execute one instruction too many in certain cases: when a signal is
delivered, when a signal handler returns, and when a system call
instruction is single-stepped.  This patch fixes it by checking if the
process is being single-stepped in the syscall exit path and on signal
delivery, and stopping it if so.  To avoid slowing down the syscall exit
path in the normal case, we use a bit in the thread_info flags, which can
be tested along with the other bits we already test in the syscall exit
path.

This is the first of 3 patches from David Woodhouse which fix various
problems with signal handling on ppc64.  (This is David's patch plus a
couple of comment fixes from me.)

Without this patch, a signal handler that is called as a result of delivery
of a signal while a process is waiting in sigsuspend() will have wrong
values given to it for the second and third arguments.  The reason is that
we were returning to userspace via the syscall return path, which doesn't
bother to restore r4 and r5.  This patch arranges for the return to
userspace to be done via ret_from_except in this case, which restores all
registers.

Klaus Dittrich observed this bug and posted a test case for it.

This patch fixes both that failure mode and some others possible.  What
Klaus saw was a false negative (i.e.  ECHILD when there was a child)
when the group leader was a zombie but delayed because other children
live; in the test program this happens in a race between the two threads
dying on a signal.

The change to the TASK_TRACED case avoids a potential false positive
(blocking, or WNOHANG returning 0, when there are really no children
left), in the race condition where my_ptrace_child returns zero.

Don't try autosuspend if we think the hardware won't resume correctly
from the OHCI suspend state.  This makes the RWC bit serve double duty,
but that appears to work OK, and the only penalty is increased power
consumption (from OHCI clocks) on boards/chips that don't work right.

For example, the amd756 erratum 4 workaround needs this logic; and at
least one ServerWorks box issues spurious resume IRQs (~3x/second!)
in the suspend state.

The documentation says dma_set_api() returns 1 on success and
0 on error, which is plain wrong, standard kernel return codes
are used instead (0 on ok, -ESOMETHING on error).

The meye hardware needs to access the main memory for DMA using
32 bit addresses. The previous version of the meye driver used
dma_addr_t types to build those addresses and ensured that
sizeof(dma_addr_t) = 4 by disabling HIGHMEM64G in Kconfig.

However, this way of doing it also makes meye unavailable on
some kernel configurations. As Arjan said previously, future Fedora
kernels may have HIGHMEM64G activated by default (davej says it won't
happen, at least for now...). Other distributions may do the same and
this will require meye users to recompile the whole kernel.

The attached patch makes the meye driver use dma_addr_t addresses 
internally, but converts them to u32 before giving them to the
hardware.
