* | [PATCH] ARM: 2701/1: free up ixp2000 timer 4 for the watchdogLennert Buytenhek2005-06-20
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Lennert Buytenhek The IXP2000 has four timers, but if we're on an A-step IXP2800, timer 2 and 3 don't work. We need two timers for timekeeping (one for the timer interrupt and one for tracking missed jiffies), so on early IXP2800s we have no other choice but to use timer 1 and 4 for that, but on all other IXP2000s we'd rather leave timer 4 free since that's the only timer we can use for the watchdog. So, on buggy IXP2000s (i.e. the A-step IXP2800) we use timer 4 for tracking missed jiffies, and on all all non-buggy IXP2000s (i.e. everything but the A-step IXP2800) we use timer 2. On a pre-production IXP2800, this patch should print these messages on boot: Enabling IXP2800 erratum #25 workaround Unable to use IXP2000 watchdog due to IXP2800 erratum #25 On any non-buggy IXP2800 (as well as on IXP2400s) you shouldn't see anything at all, and the watchdog should be usable again.

* | [PATCH] Replace check_bridge_mode() with (bridge->mode & AGSTAT_MODE_3_0).David Mosberger2005-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [AGPGART] Replace check_bridge_mode() with (bridge->mode & AGSTAT_MODE_3_0). As mentioned earlier, the current check_bridge_mode() code assumes that AGP bridges are PCI devices. This isn't always true. Definitely not for HP zx1 chipset and the same seems to be the case for SGI's AGP bridge. The patch below fixes the problem by picking up the AGP_MODE_3_0 bit from bridge->mode. I feel like I may be missing something, since I can't see any reason why check_bridge_mode() wasn't doing that in the first place. According to the AGP 3.0 specs, the AGP_MODE_3_0 bit is determined during the hardware reset and cannot be changed, so it seems to me it should be safe to pick it up from bridge->mode. With the patch applied, I can definitely use AGP acceleration both with AGP 2.0 and AGP 3.0 (one with an Nvidia card, the other with an ATI FireGL card). Unless someone spots a problem, please apply this patch so 3d acceleration can work on zx1 boxes again. This makes AGP work again on machines with an AGP bridge that isn't a PCI device.

* | [PATCH] AGP fix for Xen VMMKeir Fraser2005-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When Linux is running on the Xen virtual machine monitor, physical addresses are virtualised and cannot be directly referenced by the AGP GART. This patch fixes the GART driver for Xen by adding a layer of abstraction between physical addresses and 'GART addresses'. Architecture-specific functions are also defined for allocating and freeing the GATT. Xen requires this to ensure that table really is contiguous from the point of view of the GART. These extra interface functions are defined as 'no-ops' for all existing architectures that use the GART driver.

* [PATCH] Fix filp being passed through raw ioctl handlerStephen Tweedie2005-05-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't pass meaningless file handles to block device ioctls. The recent raw IO ioctl-passthrough fix started passing the raw file handle into the block device ioctl handler. That's unlikely to be useful, as the file handle is actually open on a character-mode raw device, not a block device, so dereferencing it is not going to yield useful results to a block device ioctl handler. Previously we just passed NULL; also not a value that can usefully be dereferenced, but at least if it does happen, we'll oops instead of silently pretending that the file is a block device, so NULL is the more defensive option here. This patch reverts to that behaviour. Noticed by Al Viro.

* [PATCH] Fix root hole in raw deviceStephen Tweedie2005-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [Patch] Fix raw device ioctl pass-through Raw character devices are supposed to pass ioctls through to the block devices they are bound to. Unfortunately, they are using the wrong function for this: ioctl_by_bdev(), instead of blkdev_ioctl(). ioctl_by_bdev() performs a set_fs(KERNEL_DS) before calling the ioctl, redirecting the user-space buffer access to the kernel address space. This is, needless to say, a bad thing. This was noticed first on s390, where raw IO was non-functioning. The s390 driver config does not actually allow raw IO to be enabled, which was the first part of the problem. Secondly, the s390 kernel address space is distinct from user, causing legal raw ioctls to fail. I've reproduced this on a kernel built with 4G:4G split on x86, which fails in the same way (-EFAULT if the address does not exist kernel-side; returns success without actually populating the user buffer if it does.) The patch below fixes both the config and address-space problems. It's based closely on a patch by Jan Glauber <jang@de.ibm.com>, which has been tested on s390 at IBM. I've tested it on x86 4G:4G (split address space) and x86_64 (common address space). Kernel-address-space access has been assigned CAN-2005-1264.

* [PATCH] ipmi: enable interrupts on the BT driverCorey Minyard2005-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enable interrupts for a BT interface. There is a specific register that needs to be set up to enable interrupts that also must be modified to clear the irq. Also, don't reset the BMC on a BT interface. That's probably not a good idea as the BMC may be performing other important functions and a reset should only be a last resort. Also, that register is also used to enable/disable interrupts to the BT; modifying it may screw up the interrupts.
