[PATCH] cciss update

[PATCH] fixup for C1 Halt Disconnect problem on nForce2 chipsets

Based on information provided by "Allen Martin" <AMartin@nvidia.com>:

A hang is caused when the CPU generates a very fast CONNECT/HALT cycle
sequence. Workaround is to set the SYSTEM_IDLE_TIMEOUT to 80 ns.
This allows the state-machine and timer to return to a proper state within
80 ns of the CONNECT and probe appearing together. Since the CPU will not
issue another HALT within 80 ns of the initial HALT, the failure condition
is avoided.

[PATCH] allow drivers to claim the lapic NMI watchdog HW

Here is an updated lapic NMI ownership tracking patch which
should address the issues that were raised with the first one:

- Simplified the API function names to {reserve,release}_lapic_nmi().

- Rewrote the ownership tracking code to use two individually named
flags instead of using arithmetic and the sign. The code is now
simple enough that no "hiding" macros are needed. (Thanks Albert
for that suggestion.)

During mqueue_get_inode(), it's possible that kmalloc() of the

info->messages on mqueue_delete_inode() to determine whether the

[PATCH] report size of printk buffer

From: <Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>

In the old days the printk log buffer had a constant size, and dmesg asked

[SERIAL] 8250_hcdp needs irq sharing

Patch from Alex Williamson

Here's a trivial patch that makes 8250_hcdp setup the correct flags
when IRQ sharing is enabled for serial ports.

The HCDP table tells us if the device is a PCI UART. We can use this
to set the shared interrupt flag as well as program the interrupt with
the correct polarity/trigger (should get rid of "changing vector <x>
from IO-SAPIC-edge to IO-SAPIC-level" messages at bootup). This also
allows non-PCI UARTs to be left un-shareable, which is likely much
more safe (edge triggered).

The bit that I'm keying on is still part of the older 1.0a HCDP spec,
so should be implemented (it was on all the boxes I tested). If
there's firmware out there that doesn't set this bit or the interrupt
supported flag, the HCDP UART may run in polling mode, but should
still be functional.

[PATCH] ppc32: Updated boot fix

This fixes booting on some PPC32 machines, notably CHRP and powermac
machines. This is a modified version of Tom Rini's patch that addresses
the concerns I had with it.

The problem was that the linker script was getting included in the list
of things that got put together to make some of the sorts of bootable
images that we produce. This removes ld.script in cases where it wasn't
appropriate and changes the rules in others so that although we have the
dependency on ld.script, it doesn't get included in the list of things
to link.

[PATCH] ppc64: Use slbie, not slbia in hugepage code

On PPC64, when we prepare segments below 4G for use with hugepages, we
need to flush their entries from the SLB, in case SLB entries
specifying normal pages were already present.

Previously we did that by flushing the entire SLB, the patch below
changes this to individually flush each necessary segment with slbie.
The new version may well be slightly faster, but the real reason for
it is so that this code path doesn't need to be changed to reinstate
any bolted SLB entries, if we add them. The existing version has
already caused problems (read, crashes) when combined with some
patches that add bolted SLB entries.

[PATCH] mcdx.c insanity removal

The mcdx.c author had pulled off something absolutely amazing - he had
declared several unsigned variables (ISA port numbers) as void *, using
explicit cast to unsigned in almost all places that used them.
Exception: printk. There he proudly used them as pointers - with %3p in
format. That cute trick allowed him to avoid using %03x, which
apparently scared him for some reason.

Switched to use of unsigned, killed casts, replaced %3p with %03x in
formats. BTW, the code had been that way since the initial merge back

[PATCH] ppc64: fix incorrect signal handler argument

This fixes a bug in the ppc64 signal delivery code where the signal
number argument to a signal handler can get corrupted before the handler
is called. The specific scenario is that a process is in a blocking
system call when two signals get generated for it, both of which have
handlers.

The signal code will stack up two signal frames on the process stack
(assuming the mask for the first signal delivered doesn't block the
second signal) and return to userspace to run the handler for the second
signal. On return from that handler the first handler gets run with an
incorrect signal number argument because we end up with regs->result
still having a negative value (left over from when the system call was
interrupted) when it should be zero. This patch sets it to zero when we
set up the signal frame (in three places; for 64-bit processes, and for
32-bit processes for RT and non-RT signals).

The way we handle signal delivery and signal handler return using the
regs->result field in ppc64 is more complicated than it needs to be. In
ppc32 I have already simplified it and eliminated use of the
regs->result field. I am going to do the same in the ppc64 code, but I
think this patch should go in for now to fix the bug.

The patch also fixes a couple of places where we were unnecessarily and
incorrectly truncating the regs->result value to 32 bits
(sys32_sigreturn and sys32_rt_sigreturn return a long value, as all
syscalls do, and if regs->result is negative we need those syscalls to
return a negative value).

Thanks to Maneesh Soni for identifying the specific circumstances
under which this bug shows up.

Too many macro with too generic names. Let's remove unneeded code and
redundant/unused macros. This also prevent namespace clash with upcoming
patches.

[PATCH] ppc64: shmget() translation bugfix

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

The 32->64 bit syscall translation layer on ppc64 incorrectly sign-
extends rather than zero-extending the second parameter to shmget(),
which should be a size_t. This means that it is impossible to shmget()
more 2GB or more from a 32-bit process.

[PATCH] s390: oprofile Kconfig fixes

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Enable basic profiling code on s390 depending on CONFIG_PROFILING, not
CONFIG_OPROFILE.

CONFIG_PROFILING should enable the generic profiling code here, even if
CONFIG_OPROFILE is not set. Note that the identical code on i386 is always
compiled in, regardless of CONFIG_PROFILING and CONFIG_OPROFILE.

[PATCH] NFSv3: Fix SETATTR call after O_EXCL create

Ensure that when we send the SETATTR call after doing an O_EXCL create,
we always set the atime and ctime fields.

See RFC1813 for details on why the server is allowed to clobber these
two fields in order to cache a verifier that protects CREATE in case of
a timeout+resend from the client.

Patch is by Olaf Kirch.

[PATCH] writeback livelock fix

To avoid various livelocks, the writeback code parks all the dirty inodes onto
sb->s_io and then works through that list until it is empty. This assumes
that each inode will be moved to some other list as it is processed.

But there's a loophole: if the ->writepages() implementation does nothing at
all, the inode is not redirtied (which would move it to s_dirty). This causes
s_io to not empty and pdflush goes nuts.

So when this happens, move the inode onto s_dirty within
__sync_single_inode(). Use list_move_tail() to attempt to preserve the
time-ordering of the s_dirty list.
