Here is a small ISDN fix for the current tree. There is a compiler inlining/optimation problem with strpbrk, if it has only a one character search string. This results in a missing strchr because the compiler internally replace strpbrk with strchr in this case, but did so after inline handling stage.

A small birdie tells us that in the long run it may not be a good idea to write the APIC ID register. It might be read-only in some hypothetical situation down the road.

From: Philippe Elie <phil.el@wanadoo.fr> When I debugged P4 ht oprofile a few month ago I noticed that but though it wasn't a problem... The fix I propose is not completely clean. With P4 HT we split msr in two subset, one for each logical processor. The msrs subset used in op_model_p4.c at save and setup point of view are distinct (*), it means we must serialize setup and save operation else a logical processor can save some msr value already setup by the other thread then when oprofile shutdown we restore wrong msrs values. Nobody noticed the problem because after restoring the msrs we call enable_lapic_nmi_watchdog() -> setup_p4_watchdog() wich clear all the msrs but it's a bit fragile. If nmi watchdog is not enabled nothing bad occurs because the LVTPC remains disabled. (*) this is done in this way because it allows a lot of simplification in op_model_p4.c, yes it isn't clean but it's not fixable w/o rewriting 75% of op_model_p4.c and I think the code will be bigger and more complex.

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> The syscalls.h change broke the m68k interrupt management code, since sys_{request,free}_irq() are not syscalls, but routines to manage system (CPU) interrupts.

From: Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> New pdflush threads are launched on-demand by pdflush. It turns out that on some architectures (eg, ia64) a kernel thread inherits its parent's stack utilisation. So after the thread-launches-a-thread cycle has progressed sufficiently far we run out of stack space and crash. Simple fix: convert pdflush to use kthreads. All kthreads are parented by keventd so there is no stack windup as a result of pdflush launching pdflush.

From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Fix a few issues on x86-64 for 2.6.4rc1. The 32bit emulation used 4GB/3 for the mmap break. This actually gave programs less sbrk space than with a standard 32bit kernel. Move the 32bit mmap break to 0xc5000000. Uses the correct gcc option to optimize for Prescott now (requires a very new mainline gcc) Also merge the i386 sched_clock(). I hope this will fix some interactivity problems with the scheduler. - Change initializer to new style (Arnd Bergmann) - Remove 2 sibling limit in HT support (from i386) - Always log RIP in MCE records even when not exact - Move 32bit program task break up to 0xc5000000 by default - Use -march=prescott for Prescott optimized kernel if possible - Don't divide by zero with report_lost_ticks on and HPET off - Merge preempt/smp/debug_pagealloc oops printing from i386 - Add pfn_to_nid() - Merge more accurate sched_clock from i386 - Remove traces of debugging code in mce.c - Update defconfig

From: Pavel Machek <pavel@suse.cz> We curretly have an off-by-factor-of-1000: cat /proc/cpufreq minimum CPU frequency - maximum CPU frequency - policy CPU 0 2000 kHz (100 %) - 2000 kHz (100 %) - powersave I do not have explanation why it is 2MHz - 2MHz. On my system I removed bug which prevented my system from being reported as 0.8MHz - 1.8MHz. (And modulo cosmetic uglyness, it worked). This fixes cosmetic uglyness, adds proper copyrights, removes warning "untested on PREEMPT" (someone tested it, and makes it easier to override PST by user (eMachine users will need that one).

The new networking hashtable sizing is all bollixed up. The logic is wrong and tcp is setting it to the logarithm of what was intended. Heaven knows. Fix it up so that the sizing is the same as it used to be in 2.6, with a boot-time override. Which was what was intended.

From: Kurt Garloff <garloff@suse.de> when calling alarm(1); alarm(0); the second alarm can wrongly return 2. This makes an LSB test fail. It happens due to rounding errors in the timeval to jiffie conversion and back. On i386 with HZ =3D=3D 1000, there would not need to be rounding error IMVHO, but they even occur there. On HZ=3D1024 platforms, they may even be unavoidable. Attached patch fixes the return value of alarm().

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> This patch implements what we discussed earlier to fix the switch bewteen KD_GRAPHICS and KD_TEXT. It has been tested for a few days now and appear to resolve the problem for affected users. James: I know you have some objections, I don't fully agree with them, and I want that in asap now, that bug has been plaguing fbdev since the very beginning and it's time to get rid of that and my corresponding todolist entry. You are welcome to propose a patch on top of this one if you feel you can make things cleaner. The approach of adding a parameter to con_blank() is Linus idea btw :) I didn't add a separate function as that would have made the butchering of drivers/char/vt beyond what I want to deal with in 2.6.

From: Marcelo Tosatti <marcelo.tosatti@cyclades.com> The following patches fixes tty drivers which dont set devfs_name. Not doing so will cause the tty layer to create "/dev/<NULL>x" entries when devfs is being used. I used "drivername/" in isicom and pcxe because the letter used to identify them are already used by other drivers.

From: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> This is probably useless on x86 for eg.. (Everything else in this file is dependant on some other s390 feature, so only this one shows up). Too bad the drivers/s390/block stuff gets source'd at all on !s390.

From: "Ronald S. Bultje" <rbultje@ronald.bitfreak.net> Fix the zoran driver (zr36067) for the fact that we did not handle bitrate-conversion at all in the zr36050 MJPEG codec (on DC30 cards), with the result being that at high-resolution, we'd overload the PCI bus and drop half of our video capture data into /dev/null'ishness. Also update Ronald's email address in MAINTAINERS.

It appears that gdb, perfmon and perhaps other applications are already opening /proc/<tid> even though it does not appear in /proc readdir output and is available under its group leader's directory anyway. Apparently ascertaining the group leader is hard for gdb and thsi trick always worked for LinuxThreads apps. So revert this change.
