      Revert "rtc: Disable the alarm in the hardware" · 157e8bf8
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit c0afabd3.
      
      It causes failures on Toshiba laptops - instead of disabling the alarm,
      it actually seems to enable it on the affected laptops, resulting in
      (for example) the laptop powering on automatically five minutes after
      shutdown.
      
      There's a patch for it that appears to work for at least some people,
      but it's too late to play around with this, so revert for now and try
      again in the next merge window.
      
      See for example

      hung_task: fix false positive during vfork · f9fab10b

      vfork parent uninterruptibly and unkillably waits for its child to
      exec/exit. This wait is of unbounded length. Ignore such waits
      in the hung_task detector.

      security: Fix security_old_inode_init_security() when CONFIG_SECURITY is not set · 30e05324
      Jan Kara authored
      Commit 1e39f384 ("evm: fix build problems") makes the stub version
      of security_old_inode_init_security() return 0 when CONFIG_SECURITY is
      not set.
      
      But that makes callers such as reiserfs_security_init() assume that
      security_old_inode_init_security() has set name, value, and len
      arguments properly - but security_old_inode_init_security() left them
      uninitialized which then results in interesting failures.
      
      Revert security_old_inode_init_security() to the old behavior of
      returning EOPNOTSUPP since both callers (reiserfs and ocfs2) handle this
      just fine.
      
      [ Also fixed the S_PRIVATE(inode) case of the actual non-stub
        security_old_inode_init_security() function to return EOPNOTSUPP
        for the same reason, as pointed out by Mimi Zohar.
      
        It got incorrectly changed to match the new function in commit
        fb88c2b6: "evm: fix security/security_old_init_security return
        code".   - Linus ]

      watchdog: iTCO_wdt.c - problems with newer hardware due to SMI clearing (part 2) · 0d098587
      Wim Van Sebroeck authored
      Redhat Bugzilla: Bug 727875 - TCO_EN bit is disabled by TCO driver
      
      The previous patch breaks reset watchdog behaviour on the older hardware.
      It is therefor better to make sure that the behaviour for older hardware (<=ICH5 or
      6300ESB) is preserved and that the behaviour for newer hardware is changed.
      We therefor use the iTCO_version to see if we need the clearing of the SMI_TCO_EN
      bit in the SMI_EN register.
      
      So the new behaviour becomes:
      turn_SMI_watchdog_clear_off=0 -> Do not turn off SMI clearing watchdog.
      turn_SMI_watchdog_clear_off=1 -> Turn off SMI clearing watchdog when iTCO_version=1
      				 (ICHO till ICH5 + 6300ESB only)
      turn_SMI_watchdog_clear_off=2 -> Turn off SMI clearing watchdog.

      This patch turns them off on SNB while leaving them on for IVB.
