* [PATCH] misc verify_area cleanupsJesper Juhl2005-05-0116-26/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There were still a few comments left refering to verify_area, and two functions, verify_area_skas & verify_area_tt that just wrap corresponding access_ok_skas & access_ok_tt functions, just like verify_area does for access_ok - deprecate those. There was also a few places that still used verify_area in commented-out code, fix those up to use access_ok. After applying this one there should not be anything left but finally removing verify_area completely, which will happen after a kernel release or two.

* [PATCH] vgacon: set vc_hi_font_mask correctlyBill Nottingham2005-05-011-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When allocating a new VC with vgacon_init(), the font is shared across all the VGA consoles. However, the font mask was always set to the default value of zero in visual_init(), even if we were using 512 character fonts at the time. Moreover, code in vgacon.c:vga_do_font_op() didn't reset the mask if the console driver thinks it's already in 512 character mode. This means that to *fix* it, you'd actually have to take the console out of 512 character mode and then set it back. The attached sets vc_hi_font_mask in vgacon_init() for any new consoles opened if the vgacon driver is already in 512 character mode, solving this. This bug goes back to 2.4.18 at least, probably earlier. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is take two of a patch that should have appeared two days ago, before yesterday's "remote control" patch for the same card. This patch sets unconnected GPIO to Output to keep them from floating (just good driver writing practice, being nice to the chip), and uses GPIO16 to switch TV vs. FM - this pin switches inputs onto the tuner, as well as the audio output from the tuner into the 7135 SIF input. Consequently, FM radio support is being un-commented because it's now working (sort of, see below).

* [PATCH] reiserfs: make resize option auto-get new device sizePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-05-011-7/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's trivial for the resize option to auto-get the underlying device size, while it's harder for the user. I've copied the code from jfs. Since of the different reiserfs option parser (which does not use the superior match_token used by almost every other filesystem), I've had to use the "resize=auto" and not "resize" option to specify this behaviour. Changing the option parser to the kernel one wouldn't be bad but I've no time to do this cleanup in this moment. Btw, the mount(8) man page should be updated to include this option.

* [PATCH] Deprecate synchronize_kernel, GPL replacementPaul E. McKenney2005-05-012-5/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The synchronize_kernel() primitive is used for quite a few different purposes: waiting for RCU readers, waiting for NMIs, waiting for interrupts, and so on. This makes RCU code harder to read, since synchronize_kernel() might or might not have matching rcu_read_lock()s. This patch creates a new synchronize_rcu() that is to be used for RCU readers and a new synchronize_sched() that is used for the rest. These two new primitives currently have the same implementation, but this is might well change with additional real-time support. Both new primitives are GPL-only, the old primitive is deprecated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The gpl exports need to be put back. Moving them to GPL -- but in a measured manner, as I proposed on this list some months ago -- is fine. Changing these particular exports precipitously is most definitely -not- fine. Here is my earlier proposal: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110520930301813&w=2 See below for a patch that puts the exports back, along with an updated version of my earlier patch that starts the process of moving them to GPL. I will also be following this message with RFC patches that introduce two (EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL) interfaces to replace synchronize_kernel(), which then becomes deprecated.

* [PATCH] procfs: Fix hardlink counts for /proc/<PID>/taskDaniel Drake2005-05-011-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The current logic assumes that a /proc/<PID>/task directory should have a hardlink count of 3, probably counting ".", "..", and a directory for a single child task. It's fairly obvious that this doesn't work out correctly when a PID has more than one child task, which is quite often the case.

Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have been searched. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86031 I also noticed that CONFIG_SECURITY can add a 5th: attr, and performed a similar fix on the task directories too.

* [PATCH] move SA_xxx defines to linux/signal.hStas Sergeev2005-05-0123-280/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch moves the IRQ-related SA_xxx flags (namely, SA_PROBE, SA_SAMPLE_RANDOM and SA_SHIRQ) from all the arch-specific headers to linux/signal.h. This looks like a left-over after the irq-handling code was consolidated. The code was moved to kernel/irq/*, but the flags are still left per-arch. Right now, adding a new IRQ flag to the arch-specific header, like this patch does: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/alsa/alsa-driver/utils/patches/pcsp-kernel-2.6.10-03.diff?rev=1.1 no longer works, it breaks the compilation for all other arches, unless you add that flag to all the other arch-specific headers too.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a pair of rlimits for allowing non-root tasks to raise nice and rt priorities. Defaults to traditional behavior. Originally written by Chris Wright. The patch implements a simple rlimit ceiling for the RT (and nice) priorities a task can set. The rlimit defaults to 0, meaning no change in behavior by default. A value of 50 means RT priority levels 1-50 are allowed. A value of 100 means all 99 privilege levels from 1 to 99 are allowed. CAP_SYS_NICE is blanket permission.

* [PATCH] uml: quick fix syscall table for x86_64Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-05-011-29/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the moved syscall table for the x86_64 SUBARCH: - redirect __NR_chown and such to versions aware of 32-bit UIDs, - avoid the useless hack for sys_nfsservctl, - use sys_sendfile64 in the table rather than sys_sendfile. - __NR_uselib is sys_ni_syscall on x86_64 (which does not support A.OUT). - __NR_getrlimit is sys_getrlimit, not sys_old_getrlimit Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] uml: fix syscall table by including $(SUBARCH)'s one, for i386Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-05-019-407/+321
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split the i386 entry.S files into entry.S and syscall_table.S which is included in the previous one (so actually there is no difference between them) and use the syscall_table.S in the UML build, instead of tracking by hand the syscall table changes (which is inherently error-prone). We must only insert the right #defines to inject the changes we need from the i386 syscall table (for instance some different function names); also, we don't implement some i386 syscalls, as ioperm(), nor some TLS-related ones (yet to provide).

* [PATCH] uml: move va_copy conditional defPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-05-012-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | GCC 2.95 uses __va_copy instead of va_copy. Handle it inside compiler.h instead of in a casual file, and avoid the risk that this breaks with a newer compiler (which it could do).

* [PATCH] uml: support AES i586 crypto driverPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-05-019-13/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We want to make possible, for the user, to enable the i586 AES implementation. This requires a restructure. - Add a CONFIG_UML_X86 to notify that we are building a UML for i386. - Rename CONFIG_64_BIT to CONFIG_64BIT as is used for all other archs - Tell crypto/Kconfig that UML_X86 is as good as X86 - Tell it that it must exclude not X86_64 but 64BIT, which will give the same results. - Tell kbuild to descend down into arch/i386/crypto/ to build what's needed.

* [PATCH] uml: workaround old problematic sed behaviourRob Landley2005-05-011-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Old versions of sed from 1998 (predating the first release of gcc 2.95, but still in use by debian stable) don't understand the single-line version of the sed append command. Since newer versions of sed still understand the... ahem, "vintage" form of the command, change our code to use that.
