| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds functionality to read the EDID information over the DDC bus in a generic way. This code is based on the DDC implementation in the radeon driver. [adaplas] - separate from fbmon.c and place in new file fb_ddc.c - remove dependency to CONFIG_I2C and CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT, otherwise, feature will not compile if i2c support is compiled as a module - feature is selectable only by drivers needing it.

* [PATCH] ide: Fix crash on repeated resetAlan Cox2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michal Miroslaw reported a problem (bugzilla #7023) where a user initiated reset while the IDE layer was already resetting the channel caused a crash, and provided a rough fix. This is a slightly cleaner version of the fix which tracks the reset state and blocks further reset requests while a reset is in progress. Note this is not a security issue - random end users can't access the ioctl in question anyway.

* [PATCH] ide: reprogram disk pio timings on resumeJason Lunz2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a step to the IDE PM state machine that reprograms disk PIO timings as the first step on resume. This prevents ide deadlock on resume-from-ram on my nforce3-based laptop. An earlier implementation was written entirely within the amd74xx ide driver, but Alan helpfully pointed out that this is the correct thing to do globally. Still, I'm only calling hwif->tuneproc() for disks, based on two things: - The existing state machine is already passed over for non-disk drives - Previous testing on my laptop shows that the hangs are related only to the disk - suspend/resume from a livecd showed that there's no need for this on the cdrom.

* [PATCH] ide: backport piix fixes from libata into the legacy driverAlan Cox2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are three flags being set by default by the PIIX driver for speeds > PIO 1, and one not being cleared properly on fallback to PIO0. The most important one is the prefetch/post write control which only works for ATA and can do bad things with ATAPI. The patch does its best to set the flags correctly for drivers/ide. Its not 100% perfect but its closer than the original. 100% perfect requires proper IORDY handling but this isn't critical (and its not right in libata either .. yet) Sergei Shtylyov <sshtylyov@ru.mvista.com> said: > + { 0, 0 }, > + { 0, 0 }, > + { 1, 0 }, > + { 2, 1 }, > + { 2, 3 }, }; > > pio = ide_get_best_pio_mode(drive, pio, 5, NULL); BTW, there's quite obvious error here which leads to access outside of timings[] if somebody passes PIO mode 5 (or autotuning code finds out that drive supports PIO mode 5).

The first BUG_ON could trigger when a PREFLUSH IO fails (it would fail the original barrier request which hasn't been marked REQ_STARTED yet). 2. the rq could have been dequeued already (same as 1). 3. HWGROUP(drive)->rq could be NULL because of the ide_error() several lines earlier.

* [PATCH] sched: force /sbin/init off isolated cpusNick Piggin2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Force /sbin/init off isolated cpus (unless every CPU is specified as an isolcpu). Users seem to think that the isolated CPUs shouldn't have much running on them to begin with. That's fair enough: intuitive, I guess. It also means that the cpu affinity masks of tasks will not include isolcpus by default, which is also more intuitive, perhaps. /sbin/init is spawned from the boot CPU's idle thread, and /sbin/init starts the rest of userspace. So if the boot CPU is specified to be an isolcpu, then prior to this patch, all of userspace will be run there. (throw in a couple of plausible devinit -> cpuinit conversions I spotted while we're here).

* [PATCH] restore parport_pc probing on powermacOlaf Hering2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The last change for partport_pc did fix the common case for all PowerMacs, but it broke the case for PCI multiport IO cards. In fact, the config option CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO=y lead to a hard crash when cups probed the parport driver. It enables the winbond and smsc probing. Remove the PARPORT_BASE check again, parport_pc_find_nonpci_ports() will take care of it. All powerpc configs should have CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO=n, the code did not find anything on the chrp boards we tested it on.

* [PATCH] Create kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()Franck Bui-Huu2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some uses of kallsyms_lookup() do not need to find out the name of a symbol and its module's name it belongs. This is specially true in arch specific code, which needs to unwind the stack to show the back trace during oops (mips is an example). In this specific case, we just need to retreive the function's size and the offset of the active intruction inside it. Adds a new entry "kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()" This new entry does exactly the same as kallsyms_lookup() but does not require any buffers to store any names. It returns 0 if it fails otherwise 1.

* [PATCH] VFS: Make filldir_t and struct kstat deal in 64-bit inode numbersDavid Howells2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system. They are required because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS for example. The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace automatically where the arch supports it. Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and so overlaps occur. This patch: Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace. The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where available and where possible. If it is not possible to represent the inode number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then error EOVERFLOW will be issued. Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented. Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to. Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a 32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the same reasons. It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.
