o Determine more conclusively that a BIOS has initialized the adapter before using "left over BIOS settings". o Adapt to upcoming removal of cmd->target/channel/lun/host in 2.5.X o Fix a memory leak on driver unload. o Enable the pci_parity command line option and default to pci parity error detection *disabled*. There are just too many broken VIA chipsets out there. o Move more functionality into aiclib to share with the aic79xx driver. o Correct a few negotiation regressions. o Don't bother doing full DV on devices that only support async transfers. This should fix a few more of the reported problems with DV. Aic79xx Driver Update o Add abort and bus device reset handlers. o Fix a memory leak on driver unload. o Adapt to upcoming removal of cmd->target/channel/lun/host in 2.5.X. o Correct a few negotiation regressions.

Patch from Erich Focht This adds a hook to rebalance globally across nodes every NODE_BALANCE_RATE iterations of the rebalancer. This allows us to easily tune on an architecture specific basis how often we wish to rebalance - machines with higher NUMA ratios (more expensive off-node access) will want to do this less often. It's currently set to 100 for NUMA-Q and 10 for other machines. If the imbalance between nodes is > 125%, we'll rebalance them. The hook for this is added to the NUMA definition of cpus_to_balance, so again, no impact on non-NUMA machines.

Patch from Michael Hohnbaum This adds a hook, sched_balance_exec(), to the exec code, to make it place the exec'ed task on the least loaded queue. We have less state to move at exec time than fork time, so this is the cheapest point to cross-node migrate. Experience in Dynix/PTX and testing on Linux has confirmed that this is the cheapest time to move tasks between nodes. It also macro-wraps changes to nr_running, to allow us to keep track of per-node nr_running as well. Again, no impact on non-NUMA machines.

Patch from Martin J. Bligh This adds a small hook to the find_busiest_queue routine to allow us to specify a mask of which CPUs to search over. In the NUMA case, it will only balance inside the node (much cheaper to search, and stops tasks from bouncing across nodes, which is very costly). The cpus_to_balance routine is conditionally defined to ensure no impact to non-NUMA machines. This is a tiny NUMA scheduler, but it needs the assistance of the second and third patches in order to spread tasks across nodes.

Another left-over from ancient module code, it was supposed to return non-zero if the module has a use count, but currently it always evaluates to 0. There are a few users of different types: (1) ioctl that perform a while(MOD_IN_USE) MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT loop. Just rip them out, we now have forced module unloading. (2) printk's that moan if the use-count in not zero in the exitfunc. Just rip them out, this can't happen. (3) if(MOD_IN_USE) MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT constructs in ->close of a few serial drivers. Just remove the conditional, we did a MOD_INC_USE_COUNT in ->open. (4) This one is interesting: drivers/sbus/char/display7seg.c uses the module use count to track openers. Replace this with an atomic_t. In addition remove tons of stale comments in network driver that aren't understandable for anyone who doesn't know ancient Linux module semantics.

x86-64 updates for 2.5.58. Changes only x86-64 specific files. - Rewrote module allocation. Lots of bugs fixed. Module loading should work now again. - Kconfig help fixes from Randy Dunlap - Makefile cleanups from Pavel Machek and Sam Ravnborg - Assembly cleanups from Pavel - defconfig update - Better strlen_user/strnlen_user - Merge with i386: new ptrace commands, 32bit vsyscall signal trampolines new deactivate_mm, add asm/bug.h - Make sure initramfs is freed after booting (thanks to Kai for the hint) - User per cpu data for profile counters (Ravikiran Thirumalai) - 32bit compat_* updates from Stephen Rothwell - Fix race in context switch. The exception handler for bogus segment loads in __switch_to needs to keep interrupts disabled, otherwise an interrupt can deadlock on scheduler locks. Also make sure they don't printk or set oops_in_progress during printk because printk does a wake_up too. - Disable 64bit GS base changes for processes. I cannot get it to work reliably. - Clear IOPL on kernel entry

Please note that the naming DB is now completely optional. If there is no eisa.ids in the drivers/eisa/ directory, build will behave as if CONFIG_EISA_NAMES is disabled. So this patch can be left out if there is any objection.

This is a left-over from the old modules code, Rusty stubbed it out to always return 0. Three scsi pcmcia driver check it for beeing non-NULL, trying to work around their unload races. I've added #warnings there and stubbed out the GET_USE_COUNT so we can remove it from the core.

The Linux code for SGI partitions uses an int instead of an unsigned int in the ondisk structure in two places, which breaks > TB partitions. While porting the code over from an internal 2.4-based tree I've also switched it to use the explicit uXX/sXX types everywhere and moved the struct defintions above sgi_partition().

The input system in 2.5 is able to see the volume keys on inspiron notebooks w/o help from i8k.c. This patch therefore removes the new code from i8kutils-1.17 for feeding those keypresses to the keyboard driver. This leaves only MODULE_PARM(restricted, "i") as the useful addition to what was in 2.5.58's i8k.c. This module parm restricts control of the system fans to processes with CAP_SYS_ADMIN set.

There's no need to alias the kallsyms-related symbols to a dummy variable, we can as well just do the sanity check against NULL.

Allow for different LMA vs VMA (logical/virtual memory address). IA-64 uses the LMA to tell the bootloader the physical location of the image, whereas the VMA as always represents the address the image gets mapped to. The default (used for non IA-64) is LMA == VMA, which is what the linker previously assumed anyway. Also: o remove duplicate .rodata1 section o __vermagic doesn't need its own section in vmlinux, it can just go into .rodata o .kstrtab hasn't been used since the introduction of the new module loader, so it should be deleted from the linker scripts as well (except for arch/um, which does not seem up to date w.r.t the new module loader yet) o The kallsyms mechanism has changed to not need its own section, so again the references in the linker scripts can go away

The current code reserves 60 bytes for the symbol string of every exported symbol, unnecessarily wasting kernel memory since most symbols are much shorter. We revert to the 2.4 solution where the actual strings are saved out of line and only the pointers are kept. The latest module-init-tools already handle this case, people who are using older versions need to update to make sure depmod works properly. Saves 80 KB in vmlinux with my .config.

From: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@steeleye.com> kallsyms is broken in parisc on 2.5.56 again because of assembler syntax subtleties. This is the offending line: printf("\t.byte 0x%02x ; .asciz\t\"%s\"\n" Note the `;' separating the two statements. On some platforms `;' is a comment in assembly code, and thus the following .asciz is ignored.

Jeff removed the swap_device member from struct swap_info_struct (http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0202.1/0258.html) but it is still used in the m68k arch for the ST-RAM. The below should remove it. Frankly, I didn't try compiling... My original intent was to move the swap_list definition from swap.h to mm/swapfile.c, but m68k still uses it here :( so perhaps this isn't possible. And I just happened to stumble upon this. (from Marcus Alanen <maalanen@ra.abo.fi> through Rusty Trivial Russell)

vm_enough_memory seems to call si_meminfo just to get the total RAM, which seems far too expensive. This replaces the comment saying "this is crap" with some code that's less crap.
