[PATCH] Amiga Zorro8390 Ethernet section conflict
Jeff Garzik notes that the previous cleanup highlights a bug:
>
> static const struct card_info {
> zorro_id id;
> const char *name;
> unsigned int offset;
> } cards[] __initdata = {
>
> and the lone user is __devinit:

> static int __devinit zorro8390_init_one(struct zorro_dev *z,
> const struct zorro_device_id *ent)
Here's the fix..

[PATCH] fix non-PC subarchs which were broken by i386 probe_roms change
The author apparently didn't understand that only the mach-default
include directory is included by fallback for header files only. You
can't stick a .c file in mach-default and expect all subarchs to be able
to use it.
The correct fix is to put std_resources.c in the kernel directory and
give it its own Kconfig symbol for conditional compile so that subarchs
may choose to include it or not.

[PATCH] USB: Fix vicam debug compile, fix user access
The last copy_from_user patch to the vicam driver broke compilation with
VICAM_DEBUG on.
There is also another copy_from_user missing in case VIDIOCSPICT.
This fixes both issues.

[PATCH] fix 4k irqstacks on x86 (and add voyager support)
There's a bug in the x86 code in that it sets the boot CPU to zero.
This isn't correct since some subarch's use physically indexed CPUs.
However, subarchs have either set the boot cpu before irq_INIT() (or
just inherited the default zero from INIT_THREAD_INFO()), so it's safe
to believe current_thread_info()->cpu about the boot cpu.

[PATCH] ppc64: update g5_defconfig
This adds IOMMU support & IOMU virtual merging to the default g5 config.
This will not impair performances of machines that don't need the iommu
(the kernel will only enable it if you have more than 2Gb of RAM, though
you can explicitely enable it using a command line argument).

[PATCH] ppc64: Fix possible duplicate MMU hash entries
The current code has a subtle race where 2 hash PTEs can be inserted
for the same virtual address for a short period of time. There should
not be a stale one as the "old" one ultimately gets flushed, but the
architecture specifies that having two hash PTE is illegal and can
result in undefined behaviour.
This patch fixes it by never clearing the _PAGE_HASHPTE bit when
doing test_and_clear_{young,dirty}. That means that subsequent faults
on those pages will have a bit more overhead to "discover" that the
hash entry was indeed evicted.
It also adds a small optisation to avoid doing the atomic operation
and the hash flush in test_and_clear_dirty when the page isn't dirty
or when setting write protect while it's already set.

[PATCH] posix messages queues for s390.
From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
The new message queue interface needs the following patch to get it working
on s390 (31-bit, 64-bit and 31-bit compat).

[PATCH] ext3: journalled quotas
From: Jan Kara <jack@ucw.cz>
Journalled quota support for ext3: The patch consists of two parts - ext3
changes and changes in generic quota code. The main idea of the changes is
that a transaction is always started before any operation which changes quota
file and dirtifying of the quota causes its write to disk. These two changes
assure that quota change is journalled into the same transaction as the file
change and hence after journal replay quota is consistent with the filesystem
state. As during journal replay inodes from orphan list are deleted/truncated
we have to do quota_on before the replay of the orphan list - this problem is
solved by additional mount options to ext3 with quota file names and format.
Some changes in generic code were also needed to assure that quota structure
in file is always allocated and so ordinary quota operations (like
adding/deleting a block/inode) need only a few blocks from the transaction.

[PATCH] mq_open() and close_on_exec
From: Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org>
SUSv3 doesn't seem to specify one way or the other. I don't have the POSIX
specs, and the old docs I have suggest that mq_open() creates an object
which is to be closed upon exec.
Jakub said:
I think it is valid and required:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/exec.html
All open message queue descriptors in the calling process shall be
closed, as described in mq_close()
I'll add a new test for this into glibc testsuite.

[PATCH] Fix mq_notify with SIGEV_NONE notification
From: Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com>
mq_notify (q, NULL)
and
struct sigevent ev = { .sigev_notify = SIGEV_NONE };
mq_notify (q, &ev)
are not the same thing in POSIX, yet the kernel treats them the same. Only
the former makes the notification available to other processes immediately,
see
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/mq_notify.html
Without the patch below,
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2004-04/msg00028.html
glibc test fails.
I looked at mq in Solaris and they behave the same in this regard as Linux
with this patch. Kernel with this patch passes both Intel POSIX testsuite
(with testsuite fixes from Ulrich) and glibc mq testsuite.
