Note that hp100 in 2.6.4-rc1 is still broken wrt EISA probing, since
it lacks the terminating entry in the EISA ID list. This one-liner
should take care of random crashes that are often reported to LKML :

===== drivers/net/hp100.c 1.24 vs edited =====

Previous Kconfig change was incorrect, this is a better one.

This part of the patch seems to have been lost (root_hydra_dev is no more):

Jeff, here is a cleaned up version of the 2.6.3 hp100 isa (non-modular) probing.
It needs to check for the board being present before reading the signature.

Please apply attached patch.

Without patch, bogus descriptors are parsed as soon as
tp->cur_tx%NUM_TX_DESC + (tp->cur_tx - tp->dirty_tx) > NUM_TX_DESC
(assume for instance tp->dirty_tx = NUM_TX_DESC/2,
tp->cur_tx = NUM_TX_DESC - 1 and watch entry go beyond NUM_TX_DESC).

Missing stats update is fixed by the patch btw.

wanpipe_open/close are used by sub-modules in their open/close handlers,
thus locking sdlamain into memory by using the exports

I've noticed that via-rhine supports my VIA Rhine-III. Kconfig
mentions only rhine-1 and rhine-2. Here update.

s patch correctly returns the link state of an adapter which does not
have an MII.  Tested by myself and the patch author Thomas Munck Steenholdt
<tmus@tmus.dk>.  (This version has the correct file name)

These are racy by "design", and all users have been eliminated.

It should be _machine, not ppc_machine.

This patch fixes undefined mdelay() in 3c505 driver - at least on alpha
(maybe on other archs <linux/delay.h> is included by some other headers,
but on alpha it isn't) there was warning:

*** Warning: "mdelay" [drivers/net/3c505.ko] undefined!

For some unknown reasons Nvidia NForce3 doesn't use the standard Hammer AGP architecture,
but requires set up of some shadow registers. This patch adds that to the K8 AGP driver.

Based on an old 2.4 patch from someone at Nvidia.

Also includes another bug fix for the K8 AGP handler, from Brad House.
We should not assume that there is only one northbridge in a Uniprocessor system.
Always flush all.

Also some minor cleanup.

Give 32bit emulation ioctl handlers the same locking rules as normal ioctl handlers.
This will avoid surprises in driver code.

Most call sys_ioctl who would take it anyways.

This adds a new completely rewritten machine check handler for x86-64.
The old one never worked on 2.6.

The new handler has many improvements. It closely follows the Intel and AMD
recommendations on MCE handlers now (the old one had many violations). It handles
unrecoverable errors in user space better now - it will only kill the process now
if possible instead of panicing.

This one is CPU independent now - it should work on any CPU that supports the standard
x86 MCA architecture.

This new handler only logs fatal errors that lead to kernel panic to the console.
Non fatal errors are logged race free into a new (non ring) buffer now
and supplied to the user using a new character device.  The old one could
deadlock on console and printk locks. This also separates machine check errors
from real kernel errors better. The new buffer has been also designed to
be easily accessible from external debugging tools: it has a signature
and could be even recovered after reboot. It is not organized as a ring buffer -
this means the first errors are kept unless explicitely cleared.

The new error formats can be parsed using ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/ak/x86-64/mcelog.c
The new character device for it can be created with mknod /dev/mcelog c 10 227

There is a new sysfs interface to configure the machine check handler.
It has a "tolerant" parameter that defines the aggressiveness of the machine check:

0: always panic
1: panic if deadlock possible (e.g. MCE happened in the kernel)
2: try to avoid panic

Default is 2

Despite of having more features the new handler is shorter.

Bring the x86-64 port up to date. Lots of smaller bug fixes that have accumulated.
Also fixes another nasty bug introduced by the IA32e changes that causes BUGs at
boot for some people.

Only changes x86-64 specific files. There are some other changes that I'm sending

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de>,
      and me.

Latest gcc cvs is able to detect mismatches between functions which are
tagged asmlinkage and declarations which are missing asmlinkage.  Or vice
versa.

Fix up the fallout from an x86 allyesconfig build.

From: "Randy.Dunlap" <rddunlap@osdl.org>

Add syscalls.h, which contains prototypes for the kernel's system calls.
Replace open-coded declarations all over the place.  This patch found a
couple of prior bugs.  It appears to be more important with -mregparm=3 as we
discover more asmlinkage mismatches.

Some syscalls have arch-dependent arguments, so their prototypes are in the
arch-specific unistd.h.  Maybe it should have been asm/syscalls.h, but there
were already arch-specific syscall prototypes in asm/unistd.h...

Tested on x86, ia64, x86_64, ppc64, s390 and sparc64.  May cause
trivial-to-fix build breakage on other architectures.
