Things like SATA use this for data transfer. Also export the iomap routines on ppc64.

PXA2xx Patch from Nicolas Pitre Let's make sure OSCR doesn't end up to be restored with a value past OSMR0 otherwise the system timer won't start ticking until OSCR wraps around (aprox 17 min. Also set OSCR _after_ OIER is restored to avoid matching when corresponding match interrupt is masked out. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre

This makes OProgile use get_task_mm() as discussed. It also fixes up Anton's previous patch. Zwane's soaked this patch all night w/o problems.

Nicolas Boichat reports that his monitor needs the slower i2c bus timings. These values also match atyfb and the original ones.

It would clear the segment registers in the parent, which wasn't really intentional. Noticed by Andries Brouwer.

The final ia64 related cleanup to elf_read_implies_exec() seems to have broken it. The effect is that the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC flag is never set for !pt_gnu_stack binaries! That's a bit more secure than we need to be, and might break some legacy app that doesn't expect it.

Fix ABI in set_mempolicy() that got broken by an earlier change. Add a check for very big input values and prevent excessive looping in the kernel.

As it's using the obsolete MOD_{INC,DEC}_USE_COUNT it's implicitly locked already, but let's remove them and make it explicit so these macros can go away completely without breaking m68k compile. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Drop a config option which has disappeared from all archs. Btw, this shouldn't be in the UML-specific part, but since we cannot include generic Kconfigs to avoid problem with hardware-related configs, it's duplicated for now.

Correct one Kconfig dependency, which should refer to CONFIG_USERMODE rather than to CONFIG_UM. We should also figure out how to make the config process work better for UML. We would like to make UML able to "source drivers/Kconfig" and have the right drivers selectable (i.e. LVM, ramdisk, and so on) and the ones for actual hardware excluded. I've been reading such a request even from Jeff Dike at the last Kernel Summit, (in the lwn.net coverage) but without any followup.

This fixes a use-after-free bug in the context switching. A process going out of context after exiting wakes up the next process and then kills itself. The problem is that when it gets around to killing itself is up to the host and can happen a long time later, including after the incoming process has freed its stack, and that memory is possibly being used for something else. The fix is to have the incoming process kill the exiting process just to make sure it can't be running at the point that its stack is freed.

Ryan S. Arnold authored
Following the same advice you gave in a recent hvc_console patch I have modified HVCS to remove a while() { yield(); } from hvcs_close() which may cause problems where real time scheduling is concerned and replaced it with tty_wait_until_sent() which uses a real wait queue and is the proper method for blocking a tty operation while waiting for data to be sent. This patch has been tested to verify that all the paths of code that were changed were hit during the code run and performed as expected including hotplug remove of hvcs adapters and hangup of ttys. - Replaced yield() in hvcs_close() with tty_wait_until_sent() to prevent possible lockup with realtime scheduling. - Removed hvcs_final_close() and reordered cleanup operations to prevent discarding of pending data during an hvcs_close() call. - Removed spinlock protection of hvcs_struct data members in hvcs_write_room() and hvcs_chars_in_buffer() because they aren't needed.

Ingo Molnar authored
Introduces two new /sys/block values: /sys/block/*/queue/max_hw_sectors_kb /sys/block/*/queue/max_sectors_kb max_hw_sectors_kb is the maximum that the driver can handle and is readonly. max_sectors_kb is the current max_sectors value and can be tuned by root. PAGE_SIZE granularity is enforced. It's all locking-safe and all affected layered drivers have been updated as well. The patch has been in testing for a couple of weeks already as part of the voluntary-preempt patches and it works just fine - people use it to reduce IDE IRQ handling latencies.

This patch adds a prctl to modify current->comm as shown in /proc. This feature was requested by KDE developers. In KDE most programs are started by forking from a kdeinit program that already has the libraries loaded and some other state. Problem is to give these forked programs the proper name. It already writes the command line in the environment (as seen in ps), but top uses a different field in /proc/pid/status that reports current->comm. And that was always "kdeinit" instead of the real command name. So you ended up with lots of kdeinits in your top listing, which was not very useful. This patch adds a new prctl PR_SET_NAME to allow a program to change its comm field. I considered the potential security issues of a program obscuring itself with this interface, but I don't think it matters much because a program can already obscure itself when the admin uses ps instead of top. In case of a KDE desktop calling everything kdeinit is much more obfuscation than the alternative. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
