* Remove <linux/i2c-id.h> and <linux/i2c-algo-ite.h> from userspace exportJean Delvare2006-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Do not export the following i2c header files to user space: * i2c-id.h: These IDs are internal to the kernel and user space does not need them. * i2c-algo-ite.h: The driver is broken and planned for removal, so let's not export it for now. The extra ioctl defined here can be standardized and moved to i2c-core/i2c-dev if really needed. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

| | * [SPARC64]: Respect gfp_t argument to dma_alloc_coherent().David S. Miller2006-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using asm-generic/dma-mapping.h does not work because pushing the call down to pci_alloc_coherent() causes the gfp_t argument of dma_alloc_coherent() to be ignored. Fix this by implementing things directly, and adding a gfp_t argument we can use in the internal call down to the PCI DMA implementation of pci_alloc_coherent(). This fixes massive memory corruption when using the sound driver layer, which passes things like __GFP_COMP down into these routines and (correctly) expects that to work. Signed-off-by: David S.

| * | [PATCH] Align the node_mem_map endpoints to a MAX_ORDER boundaryBob Picco2006-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Andy added code to buddy allocator which does not require the zone's endpoints to be aligned to MAX_ORDER. An issue is that the buddy allocator requires the node_mem_map's endpoints to be MAX_ORDER aligned. Otherwise __page_find_buddy could compute a buddy not in node_mem_map for partial MAX_ORDER regions at zone's endpoints. page_is_buddy will detect that these pages at endpoints are not PG_buddy (they were zeroed out by bootmem allocator and not part of zone). Of course the negative here is we could waste a little memory but the positive is eliminating all the old checks for zone boundary conditions. SPARSEMEM won't encounter this issue because of MAX_ORDER size constraint when SPARSEMEM is configured. ia64 VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP doesn't need the logic either because the holes and endpoints are handled differently. This leaves checking alloc_remap and other arches which privately allocate for node_mem_map.

This adds those parameters to struct spi_transfer. They are to be used when they are nonzero; otherwise the defaults from spi_device are to be used. The patch also adds a setup_transfer callback to spi_bitbang, uses it for messages that use those overrides, and implements it so that the pure bitbanging code can help resolve any questions about how it should work.

This deadlocks the kernel of course. This patch changes symbol_put_addr() to not acquire the modlist_lock, it doesn't need it since it never looks at the module list directly. Also, it now uses core_kernel_text() instead of kernel_text_address(). The latter has an additional check for addr inside a module, but we don't need to do that since we call module_text_address() (the same function kernel_text_address uses) ourselves.

| * | [PATCH] RCU: introduce rcu_needs_cpu() interfaceHeiko Carstens2006-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@us.ibm.com> Introduce rcu_needs_cpu() interface. This can be used to tell if there will be a new rcu batch on a cpu soon by looking at the curlist pointer. This can be used to avoid to enter a tickless idle state where the cpu would miss that a new batch is ready when rcu_start_batch would be called on a different cpu.
