Patch from Deepak Saxena

Follows your suggestion and also removes the #ifdef around
pci_unmap_addr and friends. Since pci.h should only be getting
included if PCI is enabled by PCI drivers and core, we shouldn't
need the NOP version.

Patch from Tony Lindgren

The following patch adds the ARM925 processor support.

This patch is based on the proc-arm925.S in 2.4 kernel, and it has been
modified to be more like the ARM926 support in the 2.6 kernel, except for
the cache flushing and initialization. Also, this patch fixes the
writeback cache flushing for most part.

There are still some issues with writeback cache flushing with devices 
using direct memory access, such as USB OHCI. It is recommended to use
the writethrough instead if using USB. This is the default for OMAP-1510.
OMAP-1610 does not have these issues, as it uses ARM926 core.

This patch includes the update for the processor functions to be armv4t 
instead armv5t as suggested here:

Patch from: Sebastian Henschel

Attached is a cosmetic patch for arch/arm/Kconfig which updates the
URL for Kenneth's page and introduces the URL of tuxmobil.org.

Correct the cache setup bits for the 5407. This enables the write
buffers properly (despite what the previous comment said). This
combined with fixed cache flushing code provides a nice performance
boost on the 5407.

Also fix the ROMfs setup to only move the ROMfs region if it is actually
configured.

Added ELF relocation type defines.  These are needed by the module
loading code for m68knommu.

This adds the configuration option to enable the uClinux shared flat
binary support.  The code support is already in the binfmt_load code,
just the config option is missing.

Fix a number of memory leaks in the uClinux binfmt_flat loader.  All are
related to not cleaning up properly on failure conditions.

It looks like aio_nr and aio_max_nr were intended to be sysctl parameters.

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

I've just grepped over the tree for reamining MOD_INC_USE_COUNT users, and
ftape is a really horrible one, it relies on MOD_{INC,DEV}_USE_COUNT in the
most horrible places + it's own bookkepping and the <= 2.4 may unload
hooks.  And although I don't have the hardware I can guarantee it doesn't
work as expected.

So let's just remove the module_exit handler and mark it unremovable, if
someone wants to fix up ftape later it's fine with me, but it's a really
scary driver..

Here's a small patch that adds C99 initializers to the file.

Patch below applies to both 2.4.25 and 2.6.3, and replaces the public
domain statement and non-warranty with the GPL, as is permitted by the code
being in the public domain, and is done with legal advice.

"options tuner type=2" is just there for historical reasons and should
only be used/needed if the main driver doesn't allow to configure the
tuner type.  I'm not sure whenever I can remove that altogether without
breaking anything.  There are several users of the tuner module, some
outside the standard kernel tree ...

> >         if (type < TUNERS) {
> > +               t->type = type;
> >                 printk("tuner: type forced to %d (%s) [insmod]\n",
> >                        t->type,tuners[t->type].name);
> >                 set_type(client,type);

That is wrong, it will break in other corner cases, it may cause the
set_type() function not doing the initializations.

The prink can also be dropped because set_type does that too.  The patch
below removes that.  It also makes the kernel messages a bit more verbose
and adds support for two new tuners.

Complete the migration from Kconfig's undocumented "enable" to "select".

From: Pragnesh Sampat <pragnesh.sampat@timesys.com>

The file initramfs_data.cpio is slightly different when generated on
cygwin, compared to linux, which causes the kernel to panic with the
message "no cpio magic" (See Documentation/early-userspace/README).

The problem in cpio generation is due to the difference in sprintf
modifiers on cygwin.  The code uses "%08ZX" for strlen of a device node.
printf man pages discourages "Z" and has 'z' instead.  Both of these are
not available on cygwin sprintf (at least some versions of cygwin).  The
net result of all of this is that the generated file literally contains
"ZX" and then the strlen after that and messes up that 110 offset etc.  The
file is 516 bytes long on the system that I tested and on linux it is 512
bytes.

The fix below just uses "%08X" for that field.

Add a new driver for the SF16FMR2 Radio card.

From: Martin Hicks <mort@wildopensource.com>

This is a patch based on one that Jack Steiner sent to the ia64 list in
November.  The original thread can be found at:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ia64&m=106869606922555&w=2

I created the little wrapper function that was requested.  I think the only
other arch, other than ia64, that doesn't at least include asm-generic/tlb.h
is arm.


Something appears broken in TLB flushing on IA64 (& possibly other
architectures).  Functionally, it works but performance is bad on systems
with large cpu counts.

The result is that TLB flushing in exit_mmap() is frequently being done via
IPIs to all cpus rather than with a "ptc" instruction or with a new
context..

Corrected check for missing ncurses-devel when executing "make menuconfig".

Doing a 'make rpm' will fail with the current RH9/Fedora RPM macros.

The failure message is this:

Processing files: kernel-debuginfo-2.6.3rc1mm1-12

The fix is this patch:

From: Christophe Saout <christophe@saout.de>

Adds a crypto module for device-mapper.  The intent here is to remove
cryptoloop ASAP, to pull the remapping gunk out of the loops driver and to
migrate people onto dm-crypt.  It is on-disk compatible with existing
cryptolop installations.

The onstream drives, be they scsi, atapi, ieee1394 or usb, are supported by the
osst driver.  When the drives were new, code was introduced in ide-tape
independently, but never really maintained since.  There are issues with the
drives I found and dealt with in osst, that ide-tape doesn't address.

So this code in ide-tape is both redundant and imperfect.  I assumed from
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107550547613846&w=2 that there
was buy in for removing it.

When this patch is applied, ide-tape will refuse to attach to an onstream DI
drive, and will write to syslog to use ide-scsi + osst instead.

From: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org>

A potential race can happen in epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_MOD) where an event can
happen in between f_op->poll() and the lock on ep->lock (we cannot call
f_op->poll() inside a lock, and the f_op->poll() callback does not carry
any info at the current time - missing wake_up_info() already ;).  In that
case the event would be removed.  We can easily leave the event inside the
ready list and have the ep_send_events() logic do the job for us at later
time.  (Thanks to david.lee@teracruz.com for reporting the thing, since it
shouldn't have been a nice one ;)

I am testing PCI hot-plug in 2.6.2 kernel, but sometimes a struct resource
tree in kernel/resource.c was broken if multiple hot-plug requests are
issued at the same time.

The reason is lots of drivers call release_region() on hot removal, and
__release_region(), which is invoked by release_region() macro, changes the
tree without holding a writer lock for resource_lock.

I think __release_region() must hold a writer lock as well as
__request_region() does.

A following patch fixes the issue in my environment.

int oprofile driver.  There is PMU code under development for the XScale

allow 24hrs).

Some machines appear to have BIOS problems which are causing 3c59x adapters
to come up in a powered-off state when WOL and PM are enabled.

So bring back the 2.4 `enable_wol' module option which disables wake-on-lan
unless the user specifically asked for it.

I have 4Kb stacks + IRQ stacks working in my tree.  The biggest part of the
4K-stacks work is changing hardcoded 8Kb assumptions to the proper,
pre-existing define for this.  That part of the patch is appropriate in
general, even when 4Kb stacks might not be.

The recent change to /proc/partitions which prevents it from displaying
removeable media accidentally caused 128 NBD and 16 ramdisk partitions to
appear in /proc/partitions instead.

So add a specific gendisk flag which says "don't show me in /proc/partitions"
and use that.

While I was stress-testing NFS/XFS on 2.6.1/2.6.2-rc, I found that
sometimes my "dd" would exit with:

	#  dd if=/dev/zero bs=4096 > /mnt/file
	dd: writing `standard output': Invalid argument
	1100753+0 records in
	1100752+0 records out

After adding some debug printk's to the server and client code and some
tcpdump-ing, I found that the NFSERR_INVAL was returned by nfsd_commit on
the server.

Turns out that the "offset" argument is off_t instead of loff_t.  It isn't
used at all (unfortunately), but it _is_ checked for sanity, so that's
where the error came from.
