Sanitize 66MHz clock use: "enable" 66MHz clock before starting UDMA3/4/5 read/write transfer and "disable" it after finishing transfer. - fixes timings for non-UDMA3/4/5 operations (correct 33MHz timings are used) - allows using UDMA3/4/5 modes on a capable drive even if non-UDMA3/4/5 drive is present on the same channel - fixes corner case when one drive on the channel was using UDMA66/100 + LBA48 (so clock was enabled/disabled for each read/write) and other one was using UDMA66/100 + LBA28, it could happen that request on LBA48 drive disabled 66MHz clock and it was not enabled for the next transfer on LBA28 drive

drive->id is now always present even if no device is attached, therefore check for drive->present instead.

This fixes bugzilla bug #1431. Always tune controller PIO timings. This fixes lockup during PIO access (ie. 'cat /proc/ide/hda/identify') when Promise BIOS is disabled.

From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com> The v3 reiserfs_file_write func doesn't do any write throttling, which leads to a variety of problems. Here's a patch that makes reiserfs_file_write call balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited, and exports that func for module usage.

From: risto.sandvik@helsinki.fi Everything freezes when trying to play sounds using the alsa driver opl3sa2 (kernel supplied or 1.0.0rc2) on an Acer Extensa series laptop with the Ali M1533 PCI to ISA bridge. Problem exists both in the 2.6 and 2.4 series of kernels. Adding AL_M1533 to drivers/pci/quirks.c fixes the problem for both. This has been a known problem since 2.2.x (see http://www.mfn.unipmn.it/~sitta/linux503.html)

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Here's a patch to improve the AFS linux support. It: (1) Includes Pete's patch to skip the colon in the volume name, compile directly into the kernel, and not try to access non-existent caching routines. (2) Changes if (...) BUG() to BUG_ON() (3) Gets rid of typedefs. (4) Changes list_for_each() into list_for_each_entry(). (5) Adds more whitespace and wraps lines to please the CodingStyle sticklers.

From: Jes Sorensen <jes@trained-monkey.org> The included patch removes the usage of weak symbols from sgiioc4.c now that we have the Kconfig issue sorted as well as cleans up the error no handling (instead of return 1 on error) and adds a check for the return value on snia_pci_endian_set as suggested by Christoph.

From: Xavier Bestel <xavier.bestel@free.fr> Within the body of this macro we are accessing rq->bio, but `bio' is an arg to the macro. If someone uses this macro with some variable which is not named `bio' it won't compile. So use a more-likely-to-be-unique identifier for the macro.

From: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Experimenting with trying to use cond_syscall for a few arch-specific syscalls, I discovered that it can't actually be used outside the file in which sys_ni_syscall is declared because the assembler doesn't feel obliged to output the symbol in that case: weak.c: #define cond_syscall(x) asm(".weak\t" #x "\n\t.set\t" #x ",sys_ni_syscall"); cond_syscall(sys_foo); $ nm weak.o U sys_ni_syscall One arch (PPC) is apparently trying to use cond_syscall this way anyway, though it's probably never been actually tested as the above test was done on a PPC. After trying a bunch of tricks to get it to work nicely, I decided there are basically two alternatives: make weak versions of sys_ni_syscall wherever they're wanted or put the arch-specific cond_syscalls in kernel/sys.c where sys_ni_syscall is defined. The former approach is a bit crufty and doesn't actually do the right thing in practice as you'll get multiple copies of sys_ni_syscall in your final image. The latter introduces some slight arch-pollution in sys.c, but as arch-specific cond_syscalls aren't all that frequent, it should be pretty minor. So here's a patch to move the current offender to sys.c:

From: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Julie DeWandel noticed that in the error case where elf_map has failed, load_elf_interp will (at the out_close: label) return the `error' variable, but that will contain the result of a prior operation and not the error number from elf_map.

From: Adrian Bunk <bunk@fs.tum.de> four months ago, Rolf Eike Beer <eike-kernel@sf-tec.de> sent a patch against 2.6.0-test5-bk1 that converted several if ... BUG() to BUG_ON() This might in some cases result in slightly faster code because BUG_ON() uses unlikely().

From: David Mosberger <davidm@napali.hpl.hp.com> With gcc-3.4 we need "attribute((used))" declarations to get "make modules_install" to work. Otherwise these sections get dropped from the final image (I assume).

From: David Mosberger <davidm@napali.hpl.hp.com> There is some EFI-related code which is present in the ia64 build but is not needed: variable efi_enabled is always zero. The patch fiddles with the efi_enabled definition to arrange for `efi_enabled' to be constant zero or constant one in those situations where this can be guaranteed.

The test for whether an inode is using journalled, ordered or writeback data is incorrect and can lead to ext3_set_aops() giving the inode the wrong set of address_space_operations. Fix. (Spotted by Jan Kara).

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Currently xfs has a per-bdev (and XFS filesystem uses up to three underlying block devices) object that Al complained about loudly that it should be gone. But for that to happen without rewriting half of XFS (and changing layering in a way that we don't really want) we need an additional fs-private variable in struct block_device.

From: mark@borgerding.net Access times of tmpfs dirs do not get updated on readdir. This can cause empty dirs to get tmpwatch'd too early, b/c atime never changes even though the dir is in use.

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>, me. Two uses of the FIXADDR_USER_START/END things are problematic: a) ppc64 wants the FIXADDR area to be at a different location on 32bit and 64bit tasks. On 32bit we want it just below 4GB but that gets in the way on 64bit. By putting both right at -(some small amount) we can also use some ppc tricks to get there real quickly (single instruction branches). b) We assume that FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END are constants. This breaks the UML build. Fixes: - Call it all gate. We currently have half the stuff called fixmap and the other gate, lets be consistent. - Create in_gate_area(), get_gate_vma() and use it in both places - Provide defaults for in_gate_area/get_gate_vma, allowing an arch to override it. (I used CONFIG_* but am open to better suggestions here) - The /proc/pid/maps vma wasnt marked readable but the get_user vma was. That sounds suspicious to me, they are now both the same VMA and so have the same (read,exec) permissions

From: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru> When CONFIG_SMP is not set, spinlock_t is an empty structure, so its address has arbitrary alignment. The prefetch instructions with unaligned address don't have visible side effects on alphas with SRM console (except performance degradation) - the PALcode handles unaligned traps caused by prefetch instructions internally. However, on old AlphaBIOS/MILO boxes unaligned prefetch leads to unhandled alignment trap and kernel panic.

From: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.de> Too many users use the p4-clockmod cpufreq driver instead of the more advanced speedstep-centrino, speedstep-ich or even acpi drivers. All of the latter (usually) provide voltage scaling, while the p4-clockmod driver only offers a variant of frequency scaling. So, warn users if they try out this driver instead. Also, instead of using a local copy, use the speedstep_lib infrastructure for detecting the processor speed. Adding the Pentium-M get_frequency function to that module only costs about 200 bytes in object size.

From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> If the user decides to not write the config file out, menuconfig exits with a non-zero code. This causes make to allege that there was an error.

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> The following reversion is what fixes my regression. That puts the sequential read numbers back to the 2.6.0 values of ~140MB/sec (from the current 2.6.1 values of 14MB/second)... We were triggering I/O of the `ahead' when we hit the last page in the `current' window. That's bad because it gives no pipelining at all. So go back to full pipelining. It's not at all clear why this change made a 10x difference in NFS throughput.
