      These (unused) arrays are causing huge stack utilisation when instantiated in

      [PATCH] groups_alloc(0) clobbers memory past end of block · a2c47912
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Olaf Kirch <okir@suse.de>
      
      Authentication code in net/sunrpc makes frequent use of groups_alloc(0),
      which seems to clobber memory past the end of what it allocated.
      
      If called with gidsetsize == 0, groups_alloc will set nblocks = 0,
      but still does a
      
      	group_info->blocks[0] = group_info->small_block;

      [PATCH] Increase xfsbufd_centisecs when in laptop mode · 03e6a21b
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Bart Samwel <bart@samwel.tk>
      
      The attached patch is the outcome of a discussion with Nathan.
      
      When laptop mode is active, there is no need for XFS to wake up xfsbufd (the
      daemon that flushes buffers that are too old) too often.  The default is once
      every second, this patch makes laptop mode do it once every 30 seconds.

      [PATCH] Laptop mode control script support for XFS *_centisecs sysctl values. · a5817343
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Bart Samwel <bart@samwel.tk>
      
      XFS now uses
      	/proc/sys/fs/xfs/xfssyncd_centisecs
      	/proc/sys/fs/xfs/xfsbufd_centisecs
      	/proc/sys/fs/xfs/age_buffer_centisecs
      
      Here's a patch to support these values in the laptop mode control script.

      The old drivers/char sh-sci driver is no long used by anyone, both sh and
      h8300 are using the drivers/serial version at this point, so we can get rid
      of the old one entirely.

      gcc 3.4 specific problem.  This patch should fix it.  Actually it would be
      better to move all these EXPORT_SYMBOLs into lib/string.c, it is silly that

      [PATCH] remove driver model code in mwave driver · 63ad39dc
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
      
      Someone blindly added sysfs support to the driver long time ago without
      understanding the implications (and if they were understood the driver
      would need half a rewrite for it).  Herber Xu recently noticed the problems
      this causes on unload, so let's if 0 out all that code and get the driver
      working again.

      [PATCH] Make /proc/sysrq-trigger ignore sysrq_enabled · dd3871ec
      Andrew Morton authored
      It's silly that writing to /proc/sysrq-trigger does nothing if you haven't
      enabled /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq.  So provide a new __handle_sysrq() which
      ignores the sysrq_enabled check.
      
      The patch also withdraws __handle_sysrq_nolock() from the kernel API.  It had
      no callers.

      [PATCH] Fix endianess in modpost when cross-compiling for sparc on i386 · 42f0e8f2
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Mathieu Chouquet-Stringer <mchouque@online.fr>
      
      This patch makes the following code work again:
      
      #ifdef STT_REGISTER
                      if (info->hdr->e_machine == EM_SPARC ||
                          info->hdr->e_machine == EM_SPARCV9) {
                              /* Ignore register directives. */
                              if (ELF_ST_TYPE(sym->st_info) == STT_REGISTER)
                                      break;
                      }
      #endif
      
      This portion of code is sparc specific and nothing else in modpost.c uses
      e_machine meaning cross-compiling for sparc on i386 (or any little endian
      machine) is the only way to experience the bug.
      
      Without it, e_machine has the wrong value and modpost then generates a lot
      of "*** Warning: \"symbol\" [filename.ko] undefined" messages.

      [PATCH] implement print_modules() · 22e1c5c4
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Arjan van de Ven <arjanv@redhat.com>,
            Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
      
      The patch below resolves the "Not Yet Implemented" print_modules() thing.
      This is a really useful feature for distros; it allows us to do statistical
      analysis on which modules are present how often in oopses compared to how
      often they are used normally.  In addition it helps to spot candidates for
      certain bugs without having to go back to the customer asking for this
      information.

      [PATCH] fix block layer ioctl bug · deb2ae4a
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com>
      
      The block layer checks for -EINVAL from block layer driver ioctls.  This is
      wrong - ENOTTY is unknown and some drivers correctly use this.  I suspect
      for an internal ioctl 2.7 should change to -ENOIOCTLCMD and bitch about old
      style returns
      
      This is conservative fix for the 2.6 case, it keeps the bogus -EINVAL to
      avoid breaking stuff

      [PATCH] calculate NGROUPS_PER_BLOCK from PAGE_SIZE · 7dd692fc
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Greg Edwards <edwardsg@sgi.com>
      
      On ia64, EXEC_PAGESIZE (max page size) is 65536, but the default page size is
      16k.  This results in NGROUPS_PER_BLOCK in include/linux/sched.h being
      calculated incorrectly when the page size is anything other than 64k.  For
      example, on a 16k page size kernel, a setgroups() call with a gidsetsize of
      65536 will end up walking over memory since only 1/4 of the needed pages were
      allocated for the blocks[] array in the group_info struct.
      
      Patch below calculates NGROUPS_PER_BLOCK from PAGE_SIZE instead.

      [PATCH] Update laptop mode control script with XFS_HZ=100 · 19bee149
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Bart Samwel <bart@samwel.tk>
      
      The laptop mode control script incorrectly guesses XFS_HZ=1000.  This is
      incorrect, since the patches that made XFS use USER_HZ went into 2.6.6 as
      well.  This changes XFS_HZ to 100 and removes the warning from the doc about
      checking XFS_HZ.
