| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If compiled into the kernel, parport_register_driver() is called before the parport driver has been initalised.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I recently found that not all BIOS manufacturers are using the specified generic PNP id in their TPM ACPI table entry.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The acpi table which contains the BIOS log events was updated for 1.2. There are now client and server modes as defined in the specifications with slightly different formats.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the TPM 1.2 Specification, each command is classified as short, medium or long and the chip tells you the maximum amount of time for a response to each class of command. This patch provides and array of the classifications and a function to determine how long the response should be waited for. Also, it uses that information in the command processing to determine how long to poll for. The function is exported so the 1.2 driver can use the functionality to determine how long to wait for a DataAvailable interrupt if interrupts are being used.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changes in the 1.2 TPM Specification make it necessary to update some fields of the chip structure in the initialization function after it is registered with tpm.c thus tpm_register_hardware was modified to return a pointer to the structure.

The changes include new sysfs files because of more relevant data being available, a function to access the timeout and duration values for the chip, and changes to make use of those duration values. Duration in the TPM specification is defined as the maximum amount of time the chip could take to return the results. Commands are in one of three categories short, medium and long. Also included are cleanups of how the commands for the sysfs files are composed to reduce a bunch of redundant arrays. This patch: Fix minor spacing issues.

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are places in the kernel where we look up files in fd tables and access the file structure without holding refereces to the file. So, we need special care to avoid the race between looking up files in the fd table and tearing down of the file in another CPU. Otherwise, one might see a NULL f_dentry or such torn down version of the file. This patch fixes those special places where such a race may happen.

* | | [PATCH] do_SAK: Don't recursively take the tasklist_lockEric W. Biederman2006-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By calling send_sig do_SAK is recursively taking the tasklist_lock, which is silly. In addition I just audited the kernel and this was the only place where tasklist_lock is taken inside of task_lock. So this one line change is a general worthwhile cleanup and it increases our options on how to fix the ptrace_attach races. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes coverity bug id #469. The out of range check didnt work as intended, as seen by the printk(), which states that boardno has to be 1 <= boardno <= MAX_BOARD.

* | | [PATCH] ipmi: fix event queue limitCorey Minyard2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The event handler mechanism in the IPMI driver had a limit on the number of received events, but the counts were not being updated. Update the counts to impose a limit. This is not a critical fix, as this function (the sending of the events) has to be turned on by the user, anyway. This avoids problems if they forget to turn it back off. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <minyard@acm.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* | | [PATCH] MPBL0010 driver sysfs permissions wide openMark Bellon2006-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The MPBL0010 Telco clock driver (drivers/char/tlclk.c) uses 0222 (anyone can write) permissions on its writable sysfs entries. Alter the permissions to 0220 (owner and group can write). The use case for this driver is to configure the fail over behavior of the clock hardware. That should be done by the more privileged users.
