* [PATCH] ppc32: Fix cpufreq problemsBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch updates the PowerMac cpufreq driver. It depends on the addition of the suspend() method (my previous patch) and on the new flag I defined to silence some warnings that are normal for us. It fixes various issues related to cpufreq on pmac, including some crashes on some models when sleeping the machine while in low speed, proper voltage control on some newer machines, and adds voltage control on 750FX based G3 laptops.

* [PATCH] ppc32: fix single-stepping of emulated instructionsPaul Mackerras2005-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | On ppc, we emulate instructions that cause alignment exceptions. If we are single-stepping an instruction and it causes an alignment exception, we will currently do the next instruction as well before taking the single-step exception. This patch fixes that, so we take the single-step exception after emulating the instruction.

* [PATCH] ppc32: oops on kernel altivec assist exceptionsPaul Mackerras2005-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we should happen to get an altivec assist exception while executing in the kernel, we will currently try to handle it and fail, and end up oopsing with (apparently) a segfault. (An altivec assist exception occurs for floating-point altivec instructions with denormalized inputs or outputs if the altivec unit is in java mode.) This patch checks explicitly if we are in user mode and prints a useful message if not.

* [PATCH] ppc32: improve timebase sync for SMPPaul Mackerras2005-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the procedure in the ppc32 kernel that synchronizes the timebase registers across an SMP powermac system does so by setting both timebases to zero. That is OK at boot but causes problems if done later. So that we can do hotplug CPU on these machines, this patch changes the code so it reads the timebase from one CPU and transfers the value to the other CPU. (Hotplug CPU is needed for sleep (aka suspend to RAM) to work.)

* [PATCH] ppc32: ppc4xx_pic - add acknowledge when enabling level-sensitive IRQEugene Surovegin2005-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds interrupt acknowledge to the PPC4xx PIC enable_irq implementation for level-sensitive IRQ sources. This helps in cases when enable/disable_irq is used in interrupt handlers for hardware, which requires IRQ acknowledge to be issued from non-interrupt context (e.g. when actual ACK in device needs an I2C transaction). For such strange hardware, interrupt handler disables IRQ and defers actual ACK to some other context. When this happens, IRQ is enabled again. For level-sensitive sources we get spurious triggering right after IRQ is enabled. This patch fixes this. Suggested by Tolunay Orkun <listmember@orkun.us>.

* [PATCH] ppc32: fix bogosity in process-freezing codePaul Mackerras2005-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | The code that went into arch/ppc/kernel/signal.c recently to handle process freezing seems to contain a dubious assumption: that a process that calls do_signal when PF_FREEZE is set will have entered the kernel because of a system call. This patch removes that assumption. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] SELinux: add support for NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENTJames Morris2005-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds SELinux support for the KOBJECT_UEVENT Netlink family, so that SELinux can apply finer grained controls to it. For example, security policy for hald can be locked down to the KOBJECT_UEVENT Netlink family only. Currently, this family simply defaults to the default Netlink socket class. Note that some new permission definitions are added to sync with changes in the core userspace policy package, which auto-generates header files.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
