It is only taken during boot time bus probe, thus protects nothing at run time and causes bogus bug messages when PREEMPT is enabled. When we support PCI controller hot plug we will add a suitable locking mechanism. Signed-off-by: -

This adds support for the new compiler options -mkernel-backchain, -mstack-size, -mstack-guard, -mwarn-dynamicstack and -mwarn-framesize. The option -mkernel-backchain enables the use of modified layout for the stack frames of kernel functions. This breaks the ABI, modules compiled with the option won't work on a kernel compiled with the option and vice versa. The positive effect of the option is a drastic reduction of kernel stack use. The trick is that the new frame layout allows to overlap the 96 (31 bit)/160 (64 bit) byte bias areas of the functions on the call chain. This lowers the minimal stack usage of a function from 96 bytes to 16 bytes (31 bit) and 160 bytes to 24 bytes (64 bit). The kernel stack use is decreased to a point where it is possible to use 4K (31 bit) / 8K (64 bit) stacks. The split into process stack and interrupt stack is already in place. The options -mstack-size and -mstack-guard are used to detect kernel stack overflows. The compiler adds code to the prolog of every function that causes an illegal operation if the kernel stack is about to overflow. The options -mwarn-dynamicstack and -mwarn-framesize cause the compiler to emit warnings if a function uses dynamic stack allocation or if the function frame size is bigger then a specified limit. To play safe all the new options are configurable. Signed-off-by:

Name of device has been changed in 2.6.9-rc1 to "SkyStar2", but module stv0299 still compares name with "Technisat SkyStar2 driver", strings are different, and result is that stv0299 detects invalid tuner type. Cc: Johannes Stezenbach <js@linuxtv.org> Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a problem reported by David S. Miller <davem@redhat.com> "I just noticed that fb_{read,write}() uses copy_*_user() with the kernel buffer being the frame buffer. It needs to use the proper device address accessor functions." The patch will do an intermediate copy of the contents to a page-sized, kmalloc'ed buffer.

1. This fixes a kernel oops when issuing an FBIO_CURSOR ioctl if struct fb_cursor_user is filled with zero/NULLs. Reported by Yuval Kogman <nothingmuch@woobling.org>. 2. This also fixes the cursor corruption in soft_cursor when sprite.scan_align != 1. Signed-off-by:

attached patch changes the subfrequency carrier value in the adv7175 video output driver which is part of the zr36067 driver package. The practical consequence is that the picture will be more stable on non-passthrough video mode in NTSC. It does not affect PAL/SECAM.

This is an hvc_console patch which provides driver and ppc64 architecture fixes to enable the hvc_console driver to register itself as a vio device with the vio bus, provide hotplug add/remove for vty adapters, and act as an interrupt driven driver on Power-5 hardware or remain as a polling driver on Power-4 hardware. arch/ppc64/kernel/hvconsole.c ============================= - Changed hvc_get_chars() and hvc_put_chars() api to take vtermno rather than index number. - Added hvc_find_vtys() function which walks the bus looking for vterm/vty devices to callback to the hvc_console driver. This provides console output functionality prior to early console init (pre mem init and pre device probe). include/asm-ppc64/hvconsole.h ============================= - Changed hvc_get_chars() and hvc_put_chars() api to take vtermno rather than index number. - Added hvc_find_vtys() function. - Added hvc_instantiate() function which is implemented by a console driver wanting to receive a callback of and early console init. drivers/char/hvc_console.c ========================== - Switch khvcd from kernel_threads to kthreads which got rid of deprecated daemonize(). - Added module exit clause to be thorough (not terribly necessary with a console driver of course) - Added early discovery of vterm/vty adapters by doing a bus walk on early console init which results in hvc_instantiate() callback and addition of the vtermno into a static array of vtermnos supported as console adapters (meaning the console api's work against these vtermnos prior to full console initialization). - This driver is now registered as a vio driver which means that vty adapters are now managed via probe/remove. This means hvc_console supports hotplug vty adapters. - Driver now requests more device nodes than what was found on the initial bus walk when registered as a tty driver to make room for hotplug vty adapters. These secondary vty adapters provide a tty tunnel between partitions. - Removed static hvc_struct array and replaced with a linux list that has elements (hvc_struct instances) added/removed on probe/remove AFTER early console init. This is important because kmalloc can't be done at early console init. - Driver now either runs in interrupt driven mode or in polling mode on older hardware. The khvcd is smart enough to not 'schedule()' when there are no interrupts. - kobjects are now used for ref counting on the hvc_struct instances. - This driver puts the tty layer to sleep on hvc_close() if there are pending data writes being blocked by firmware. - Removed useless spinlocks in hvc_chars_in_buffer() and hvc_write_room.

This patch allows i386 signal delivery to work correctly when userspace is compiled with -mregparm. This is somewhat hacky: it passes the arguments *both* on the stack and in registers, but it works because there are only one or three (depending on SA_SIGINFO) official arguments. If you're relying on the unofficial arguments then you're doing something nonportable anyway and can put in the __attribute__((cdecl,regparm(0))) in the correct place. Signed-off-by:

This patch contains the updates necessary to fix the hangs in netconsole. This includes the changing of trapped to an atomic_t, and the addition of a netpoll_poll_lock. It also turns dev->netpoll_rx into a bitfield which is used to keep from running the networking code from the netpoll_poll call path. Signed-off-by:
