Every time a new syscall gets added, a BUILD_BUG_ON in arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spu_callbacks.c gets triggered. Since the addition of a new syscall is rather harmless, the error should just be removed. While we're here, add sys_tee to the list and add a comment to systbl.S to remind people that there is another list on powerpc. Signed-off-by:

The new i2c implementation for PowerMac has a regression that causes the hardware to go out of state when probing non-existent devices. While fixing that, I also found & fixed a couple of other corner cases. This fixes booting with a pbbuttons version that scans the i2c bus for an LMU controller among others. Tested on a dual G5 with thermal control (which has heavy i2c activity) with no problem so far. Signed-off-by:

Turn on the DART already at 1GB. This is needed because of crippled devices in some systems, i.e. Airport Extreme cards, only supporting 30-bit DMA addresses. Otherwise, users with between 1 and 2GB of memory will need to manually enable it with iommu=force, and that's no good. Some simple performance tests show that there's a slight impact of enabling DART, but it's in the 1-3% range (kernel build with disk I/O as well as over NFS). iommu=off can still be used for those who don't want to deal with the overhead (and don't need it for any devices).

Some devices don't support full 32-bit DMA address space, which we currently assume. Add the required mask-passing to the IOMMU allocators. Signed-off-by:

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and possibly buggy. We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the future. This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu. Signed-off-by:

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek The irq2gpio array was recently converted from an array of ints to an array of chars (by patch 3368/1.) However, this array contains elements that are -1, and on ARM, the char type is unsigned by default, so this patch broke the GPIO check in ixp4xx_set_irq_type. Change the 'char' to be a 'signed char' to fix this. Signed-off-by:

AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE when an exception is pending. This means the value leak through context switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction state of other processes. This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as being different from Intel before. The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally calling FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip it when not needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to clear FOP/FIP/FDP. This means other processes always will only see a constant value defined by the kernel in their FP state. I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already in L1 during context switch to make the overhead of this low. Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs who don't need it. Patch for both i386/x86-64. The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard Brunner provided the basic code for the workarounds, with contribution from Jan. This is CVE-2006-1056 Cc: richard.brunner@amd.com Cc: jbeulich@novell.com Signed-off-by:

This fixes a hang in mpu401_uart.c that can occur when the mpu401 interface is non-existent or otherwise doesn't respond to commands but we issue IO anyway. snd_mpu401_uart_cmd now returns an error code that is passed up the stack so that an open() will fail immediately in such cases. Eventually discovered after wine/cxoffice would constantly cause hard lockups on my desktop immediately after loading (emulating Windows too well). Turned out that I'd recently moved my sound cards around and using /dev/sequencer now talks to a sound card with a broken MPU. This second version changes -EFAULT to -EIO and frees open resources on error too. Test booted and seems to work ok. Signed-off-by:

Fix for bug #6395: Fail to resume on Tecra M2 with ADM1032 and Intel 82801DBM The BIOS of the Tecra M2 doesn't like it when it has to reboot or resume after the i2c-i801 driver has left the SMBus in PEC mode. The most simple fix is to clear the PEC bit after after every transaction. That's what this driver was doing up to 2.6.15 (inclusive). Thanks to Daniele Gaffuri for the very good report.

On the MSI-K8T-NEO2 FIR ( Athlon-64, Socket 939 with VIA-K8T800- Chipset and onboard Sound,... ) the BIOS lets you choose "DISABLED" or "AUTO" for the On-Board Sound Device. If you add another PCI-Sound-Card the BIOS disables the on-board device. So far I have a Quirk, that does set the correspondent BIT in the PCI-registers to enable the soundcard. But how to ensure that the code is executed ONLY on excactly this kind of boards (not any other with similar Chipset)? Cc: Jaroslav Kysela <perex@suse.cz> Acked-by:

In cases where a struct kretprobe's *_handler fields are non-NULL, it is possible to cause a system crash, due to the possibility of calls ending up in zombie functions. Documentation clearly states that unused *_handlers should be set to NULL, but kprobe users sometimes fail to do so. Fix it by setting the non-relevant fields of the struct kretprobe to NULL.
