Changed the initialization of Operation Regions during subsystem init to
perform two entire walks of the ACPI namespace; The first to initialize
the regions themselves, the second to execute the _REG methods.  This
fixed some interdependencies across _REG methods found on some machines.

Fixed a problem where a Store(Local0, Local1) could simply update the
object reference count, and not create a new copy of the object if the
Local1 is uninitialized.

Implemented support for the _SST reserved method during sleep
transitions.

Implemented support to clear the SLP_TYP and SLP_EN bits when waking up,
this is apparently required by some machines.

When sleeping, clear the wake status only if SleepState is not S5.

Fixed a problem in AcpiRsExtendedIrqResource() where an incorrect
pointer arithmetic advanced a string pointer too far.

Fixed a problem in AcpiTbGetTablePtr() where a garbage pointer could be
returned if the requested table has not been loaded.

Within the support for IRQ resources, restructured the handling of the
active and edge/level bits.

Fixed a few problems in AcpiPsxExecute() where memory could be leaked
under certain error conditions.

Improved error messages for the cases where the ACPI mode could not be
entered.

Fixed a problem where a level-triggered GPE with an associated _Lxx
control method was incorrectly cleared twice.

Fixed a problem with the Field support code where an access can occur
beyond the end-of-region if the field is non-aligned but extends to the
very end of the parent region (resulted in an AE_AML_REGION_LIMIT
exception.)

Fixed a problem with ACPI Fixed Events where an RT Clock handler would
not get invoked on an RTC event.  The RTC event bitmasks for the PM1
registers were not being initialized properly.

Implemented support for executing _STA and _INI methods for Processor
objects.  Although this is currently not part of the ACPI specification,
there is existing ASL code that depends on the init-time execution of
these methods.

Implemented and deployed a GetDescriptorName function to decode the
various types of internal descriptors.  Guards against null descriptors
during debug output also.

Implemented and deployed a GetNodeName function to extract the
4-character namespace node name.  This function simplifies the debug and
error output, as well as guarding against null pointers during output.

Implemented and deployed the ACPI_FORMAT_UINT64 helper macro to simplify
the debug and error output of 64-bit integers.  This macro replaces the
HIDWORD and LODWORD macros for dumping these integers.

Updated the implementation of the Stall() operator to only call
AcpiOsStall(), and also return an error if the operand is larger than
255.  This preserves the required behavior of not relinquishing the
processor, as would happen if AcpiOsSleep() was called for "long
stalls".

Constructs of the form "Store(LocalX,LocalX)" where LocalX is not
initialized are now treated as NOOPs.

Cleaned up a handful of warnings during 64-bit generation.

Fixed a reported error where and incorrect GPE number was passed to the
GPE dispatch handler.  This value is only used for error output,
however.  Used this opportunity to clean up and streamline the GPE
dispatch code.

James reported a bug in scsi_ioctl.c where it mem copies a user pointer
instead of using copy_from_user(). I inadvertently introduced this one
when getting rid of CDROM_SEND_PACKET. Here's a trivial patch to fix it.

TCP IPV6 ->hash() method should not grab a socket reference.

The problem was that the cursor was in the list being walked, and when
the pointer pointed to the cursor the list_del/list_add_tail pair would
oops trying to find the entry pointed to by the prev pointer of the
deleted cursor element.

The solution I found was to move the list_del earlier, before the
beginning of the list walk. since it is not used during the list walk and
should not count in the list enumeration it can be deleted, then the
list pointer cannot point to it so it can be added safely with the
list_add_tail without oopsing, and everything works as expected.

I am unable to oops this version with any of my test programs.

Based upon a patch from devik.

From Javier Achirica:

Delay MIC activation to prevent Oops

Clean up the tests while at it.

From: Al Viro <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk>
   
   Such poisoning can cause oopses either because the refcount is not
   zero when the poisoning occurs, or due to kernel debugging options
   being enabled.

The driver was calling pci_unregister_driver for each _device_, and then
again at the end of the module unload routine.  Remove the call that's
inside the loop, pci_unregister_driver should only be called once.

Fixes oops some were seeing on module unload.

We should not allow mmap() with PROT_EXEC on mounts marked "noexec",
since otherwise there is no way for user-supplied executable loaders
(like ld.so and emulator environments) to properly honour the
"noexec"ness of the target.

This patch fixes i2c_smbus_write_byte() being broken for i2c-nforce2.
This causes trouble when that module is used together with eeprom (which
is also in 2.6). We have had three user reports about the problem.

Credits go to Mark D. Studebaker for finding and fixing the problem.

The scheduler is completed b0rked on x86_64, and I finally found out
why.  sched_clock() always returned 0, because rdtscll() always returned
0.  The 'a' in the macro doesn't agree with the 'a' in the function,
yippe :-)

This is a show stopper for x86_64.

The pid_alive() check within the loop is incorrect.  If we are within
the tasklist lock and the thread group leader is valid then the thread
chain will be fully intact.

Instead, the check should be _outside_ the loop, since if the group
leader no longer exists, the whole list is gone and we must not try
to access it.

Move the check around, and add comment.

Bug-hunting and fix by Srivatsa Vaddagiri

When doing sync wakeups we must not skip the notification of other cpus
if the task is not on this runqueue.

We need to initialize st->state in tcp_seq_start().  Otherwise
tcp_seq_stop() is run with previous st->state, and it calls the unneeded
unlock etc, causing a kernel crash.

I've got a lot more changes than what's included here.  I've put this
down to the bear minimum to get things working sanely.

Mainly, I just want to get all the people hit by this a chance to use
2.6.0 without having to get our tree. Changes itemized:

 - Fix deadlock possibility in csr.c:read_maps()
 - Fix kmalloc to use ATOMIC in highlevel.c.
 - s/in_interrupt/irqs_disabled/ in ieee1394_transactions.c to fix
   warnings when transactions occured.
 - Introduce a release callback for the host driver and use it correctly.
 - Reorganize the nodemgr probe so we do an initial scan to discover
   devices, check IRM/CycleMaster, then do a final full probe when things
   are kosher. Fixes a problem where device registration and hotplug
   would cause some serious problems when a bus reset was forced in the
   middle of the probe.
