* TPM: fix TIS device driver locality requestMarcel Selhorst2007-11-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During the initialization of the TPM TIS driver, the necessary locality has to be requested earlier in the init-process. Depending on the used TPM chip, this leads to wrong information. For example: Lenovo X61s with Atmel TPM: tpm_tis 00:0a: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0xFFFF, rev-id 255) But correct is: tpm_tis 00:0c: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0x3203, rev-id 9) This short patch fixes this issue.

* | | rtc: fall back to requesting only the ports we actually useBjorn Helgaas2007-11-14

The actual space consumed may be less than the size (RTC_IO_EXTENT) assumed by the RTC driver. The PNP core doesn't request resources yet, but I'd like to make it do so. If/when it does, the RTC_IO_EXTENT request may fail, which prevents the RTC driver from loading. Since we only use the RTC index and data registers at RTC_PORT(0) and RTC_PORT(1), we can fall back to requesting just enough space for those. If the PNP core requests resources, this results in typical I/O port usage like this: 0070-0073 : 00:06 <-- PNP device 00:06 responds to 70-73 0070-0071 : rtc <-- RTC driver uses only 70-71 instead of the current: 0070-0077 : rtc <-- RTC_IO_EXTENT == 8 Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Cc: Alessandro Zummo <a.zummo@towertech.it> Cc: David Brownell <david-b@pacbell.net> Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dave Miller noted various cases where line disciplines for things like ppp go poking around in termios themselves in ways that broke with the new termios code. Rather than have them all learning about termios internals provide proper methods for this - tty_mode_ioctl() This handles all the terminal mode handling for speed/carrier etc and none of the methods are ldisc dependant so they can be called by any user - tty_perform_flush() This extracts the flush functionality and enables pppd the ppp layer to share it cleanly. The existing n_tty_ioctl code is refactored in this patch to provide the new functions and to call them itself appropriately. This patch has no (intended) behaviour changes and simply prepares for the other fixes. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids. The idea is: - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call; - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids; - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this task's namespace the global one is to be used; - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

* pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()Serge E. Hallyn2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init(). This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a bug rather than force a kernel panic.

* Console keyboard events and accessibilitySamuel Thibault2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some blind people use a kernel engine called Speakup which uses hardware synthesis to speak what gets displayed on the screen. They use the PC keyboard to control this engine (start/stop, accelerate, ...) and also need to get keyboard feedback (to make sure to know what they are typing, the caps lock status, etc.) Up to now, the way it was done was very ugly. Below is a patch to add a notifier list for permitting a far better implementation, see ChangeLog above for details. You may wonder why this can't be done at the input layer. The problem is that what people want to monitor is the console keyboard, i.e. all input keyboards that got attached to the console, and with the currently active keymap (i.e. keysyms, not only keycodes). This adds a keyboard notifier that such modules can use to get the keyboard events and possibly eat them, at several stages: - keycodes: even before translation into keysym. - unbound keycodes: when no keysym is bound. - unicode: when the keycode would get translated into a unicode character. - keysym: when the keycode would get translated into a keysym. - post_keysym: after the keysym got interpreted, so as to see the result (caps lock, etc.) This also provides access to k_handler so as to permit simulation of keypresses.

* | IPMI: add 0.9 supportCorey Minyard2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for IPMI 0.9 systems to the IPMI driver. Just handle a shorter get device ID command with less information.

* | IPMI: fix hotmod remove lockCorey Minyard2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The removal of proc entries was done holding a lock, which is no longer allowed. There is no need for the lock, only a mutex is required, so switch over to a mutex.

* | IPMI: new NMI handlingCorey Minyard2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert over to the new NMI handling for getting IPMI watchdog timeouts via an NMI. This add config options to know if there is the ability to receive NMIs and if it has an NMI post processing call. Then it modifies the IPMI watchdog to take advantage of this so that it can know if an NMI comes in. It also adds testing that the IPMI NMI watchdog works.

* | IPMI: add polled interfaceCorey Minyard2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the IPMI watchdog timer sets the watchdog timeout on a panic, but it doesn't actually poll the interface to make sure the message goes out. Add an interface for polling the IPMI driver, and add code to the IPMI watchdog timer to poll the interface when the timer is set from a panic.

* | IPMI: remove bogus semaphore from watchdogCorey Minyard2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lockdep was giving an error when loading the IPMI watchdog module. It turns out that if you try to claim a lock in a parameter handling routine, lockdep won't see that lock as "static" yet because the module is not yet on the module list, so it will complain. However, the semaphore in question is completely unnecessary. So just remove it.

* | IPMI: don't init irq until readyCorey Minyard2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patrick found a race at startup. Interrupts were being enabled for the IPMI interface before the driver was really ready to handle them. This could result in an oops if something was pending on the interface at startup and interrupt were already enabled (technically shouldn't happen, but need to cover for this in real life). So move the IRQ setup to the code that starts the actual IPMI processing.
