      [PATCH] s390: DASD device driver. · 2e05bc63
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
      
      DASD driver fixes:
       - Fix generic_set_online if diag discipline is not availab.e
       - Fix reserve on already reserved device.
       - Use default-erp for unit check without sence information.
       - Revert dasd naming scheme change from dasd<xyz> to dasd_<busid>_. This
         breaks too many user space packages.

      [PATCH] s390: common i/o layer. · be457375
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
      
      Common i/o layer fixes:
       - Add atomic onoff variable to ccw devices and ccw-group devices to
         avoid races during online/offline.
       - Fix pr_debug calls.
       - A lot of path fixes:
         + Set device to disconnected state after no path event.
         + Fix chpid vary on/off for single path devices.
         + Make logical vary on/off consistent with physical vary on/off.
         + Don't update subchannel schib if the device is gone (dnv not set).
         + Add code to recover lost chpids after machine checks.
         + Avoid processing link incidents, resource accessability events and
           chpid machine checks for logically offline chpids.
         + Recover disconnected devices after chsc machine checks.
         + Delay de-registering of no path devices to avoid deadlocks.
         + Don't redo ssd for known subchannels - the info is static.
         + Introduce a second, "slow" machine check handler thread for new devices.
           The "fast" machine check handler only recovers disconnected devices.
       - Deregister subchannel rather than ccw device on not oper events.
       - Fix calling sequence of notify function vs. path verification.
       - Reset timeout for disconnected devices.
       - Fix problem with debug feature and %s arguments.
       - Fix __get_subchannel_by_stsch to deal with "zombie" subchannels.
       - Avoid "zombie" subchannels if device is not operational during sense id.
       - Handle call to the io_subchannel remove function if the ccw device
         is not registered yet.
       - Add availability attribute for ccw devices: "good", "no device",
         "no path", "boxed".
       - Export ccw_device_work for qdio as module.
       - Retry sense id for tape devices which present intervention required.
       - Don't check the activity control to decide if the device driver interrupt
         handler needs to be called but use the bits in status control.
       - Fix race in ccw_device_stlck.
       - Accumulate deferred condition code.
       - Fix setting_up_sema locking.
       - Call qdio_shutdown instead of qdio_cleanup on failed establish.
       - Fix problem when 64 FCP adapters are initialized simultaneously.
       - Fix problem with >64 adapter interrupt capable devices.
       - Reduce stack usage in qdio.

      [PATCH] fix module reference counting in zoran driver · cb57118e
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
      
      Take a reference before calling into the module and release it after we're
      done.  Also remove the useless (and wrong) refcounting in videocodec -
      symbols from this module are used by other modules if we call into those
      functions so it can't be unloaded anyway.
      
      We really need to add a debug check to tip all those
      try_module_get(THIS_MODULE) callers..

      [PATCH] HFS rewrite · d1081202
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org>
      
      This is a complete rewrite of the HFS driver, it gets rid of a all the
      special conversion options, which belong in user space.  The driver uses now
      a btree support very similiar to HFS+, so that both could be merged at some
      point.
      
      Thanks to Ethan Benson <erbenson@alaska.net> for a number of patches to make
      the driver more compliant with the spec and Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
      for fixing up the documentation.

      [PATCH] Support AGP bridge on Nvidia Nforce3 + cleanup · a33161f5
      Andi Kleen authored
      For some unknown reasons Nvidia NForce3 doesn't use the standard Hammer AGP architecture,
      but requires set up of some shadow registers. This patch adds that to the K8 AGP driver.
      
      Based on an old 2.4 patch from someone at Nvidia.
      
      Also includes another bug fix for the K8 AGP handler, from Brad House.
      We should not assume that there is only one northbridge in a Uniprocessor system.
      Always flush all.
      
      Also some minor cleanup.

      [PATCH] Run 32bit compat ioctl handlers in BKL · f9d3880b
      Andi Kleen authored
      Give 32bit emulation ioctl handlers the same locking rules as normal ioctl handlers.
      This will avoid surprises in driver code.
      
      Most call sys_ioctl who would take it anyways.

      [PATCH] New machine check handler for x86-64 · 047379fb
      Andi Kleen authored
      This adds a new completely rewritten machine check handler for x86-64.
      The old one never worked on 2.6.
      
      The new handler has many improvements. It closely follows the Intel and AMD
      recommendations on MCE handlers now (the old one had many violations). It handles
      unrecoverable errors in user space better now - it will only kill the process now
      if possible instead of panicing.
      
      This one is CPU independent now - it should work on any CPU that supports the standard
      x86 MCA architecture.
      
      This new handler only logs fatal errors that lead to kernel panic to the console.
      Non fatal errors are logged race free into a new (non ring) buffer now
      and supplied to the user using a new character device.  The old one could
      deadlock on console and printk locks. This also separates machine check errors
      from real kernel errors better. The new buffer has been also designed to
      be easily accessible from external debugging tools: it has a signature
      and could be even recovered after reboot. It is not organized as a ring buffer -
      this means the first errors are kept unless explicitely cleared.
      
      The new error formats can be parsed using ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/ak/x86-64/mcelog.c
      The new character device for it can be created with mknod /dev/mcelog c 10 227
      
      There is a new sysfs interface to configure the machine check handler.
      It has a "tolerant" parameter that defines the aggressiveness of the machine check:
      
      0: always panic
      1: panic if deadlock possible (e.g. MCE happened in the kernel)
      2: try to avoid panic
      
      Default is 2
      
      Despite of having more features the new handler is shorter.

      [PATCH] asmlinkage fixes · 4c238c91
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>,
            and me.
      
      Latest gcc cvs is able to detect mismatches between functions which are
      tagged asmlinkage and declarations which are missing asmlinkage.  Or vice
      versa.
      
      Fix up the fallout from an x86 allyesconfig build.

      [PATCH] add syscalls.h · 0bab0642
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: "Randy.Dunlap" <rddunlap@osdl.org>
      
      Add syscalls.h, which contains prototypes for the kernel's system calls.
      Replace open-coded declarations all over the place.  This patch found a
      couple of prior bugs.  It appears to be more important with -mregparm=3 as we
      discover more asmlinkage mismatches.
      
      Some syscalls have arch-dependent arguments, so their prototypes are in the
      arch-specific unistd.h.  Maybe it should have been asm/syscalls.h, but there
      were already arch-specific syscall prototypes in asm/unistd.h...
      
      Tested on x86, ia64, x86_64, ppc64, s390 and sparc64.  May cause
      trivial-to-fix build breakage on other architectures.
