things there is enough to fix it.
<kai@tp1.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>

[PATCH] USB Joypad quirk
Orginally from Vojtech Pavlik (16th June 2002 via email), to fix my
'broken' USB joypad, Fully tested in both 2.4.x and 2.5.52 (and
2.5.52-bk).
<henning@meier-geinitz.de>
[PATCH] scanner.c: Accept scanners with more than one interface
This patch allows the scanner driver to accept devices with more than
one interface. That's needed by some multi-function periphals (e.g.
scanner+printer).
<henning@meier-geinitz.de>
[PATCH] scanner.c: fix compilation error with debugging enabled
This patch removes a now unnecessary debug line taht broke compilation
when debugging was enabled.
<ganesh@tuxtop.vxindia.veritas.com>
[PATCH] USB ipaq driver update
The ActiveSync USB "protocol" seems to be the same for all WinCE
devices seen so far. So it seems reasonable to pre-emptively support
all devices which work with ActiveSync.
<torvalds@home.transmeta.com>
AIC7XX_PROBE_EISA_VL should depend on SCSI_AIC7XXX
<torvalds@home.transmeta.com>
Make the default values for DS/ES be the _user_ segment descriptors
on x86 - the kernel doesn't really care (as long as it's all flat 32-bit),
and it means that the return path for sysenter/sysexit can avoid re-loading
the segment registers.
NOTE! This means that _all_ kernel code (not just the sysenter path) must
be appropriately changed, since the kernel knows the conventions and doesn't
save/restore DS/ES internally on context switches etc.
<mingo@elte.hu>
[PATCH] Save fs/gs over vm86 mode switch
In vm86 mode we did not save/restore %gs [and %fs] properly, which
breaks new-style threading.
<jsimmons@kozmo.(none)>
More STI updates.
<jsimmons@maxwell.earthlink.net>
Ported Voodoo1 driver to new api.
<James.Bottomley@steeleye.com>
kbuild: fix bug in scripts/kallsyms.c
kallsyms.c generates the symbol table in a .S file using the assembler .string
macro. Unfortunately, the .string macro is implemented in a platform specific
way (it may or may not zero terminate the string). On parisc, it doesn't zero
terminate, so the symbol table search doesn't work.
The solution is to replace .string with .asciz which is guaranteed to do the
correct thing on all platforms.
<ak@muc.de>
kbuild: Stem compression for kallsyms
This patch implements simple stem compression for the kallsyms symbol
table. Each symbol has as first byte a count on how many characters
are identical to the previous symbol. This compresses the often
common repetive prefixes (like subsys_) fairly effectively.
On a fairly full featured monolithic i386 kernel this saves about 60k in
the kallsyms symbol table.
The changes are very simple, so the 60k are not shabby.
One visible change is that the caller of kallsyms_lookup has to pass in
a buffer now, because it has to be modified. I added an arbitary
127 character limit to it.
Still >210k left in the symbol table unfortunately. Another idea would be to
delta encode the addresses in 16bits (functions are all likely to be smaller
than 64K). This would especially help on 64bit hosts. Not done yet, however.
No, before someone asks, I don't want to use zlib for that. Far too fragile
during an oops and overkill too and it would require to link it into all
kernels.
<perex@suse.cz>
PnP update
- added configuration templates - configuration can be changed from the probe() callback
- new PnP ID - NSC6001
- fixes in PnP BIOS code - no more oopses
- fixed typos and thinkos in 8250_pnp.c
<davej@codemonkey.org.uk>
[AGP] remove unused variable from 8151 GART driver.
<perex@suse.cz>
PnP update
- removed ISAPnP members from PCI structures
- isapnp.h cleanups (removal of duplicates)
- added compatible functions (pnp_find_dev and pnp_find_card)
- i82365 (pcmcia driver) - ported to new PnP layer
<torvalds@home.transmeta.com>
The fast poll code incorrectly assumed that "sizeof pp" was the same
as "offsetof pp->entries". Which happens to be true on 32-bit platforms,
but not on 64-bit ones.
From Anton Blanchard.
<pavel@ucw.cz>
[PATCH] Make swsuspend restore DS/ES segments properly
<greg@kroah.com>

[PATCH] USB: convert usbserial core to use dev_err() and dev_info() macros
<ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru>
[PATCH] fix PCI bridge handling in probe.c
As Ben pointed out, disabling the PCI-to-PCI bridge before scanning
its secondary bus is a serious bug.
It can easily crash even on PCs when booting with "pci=assign-busses"
option. For example, that code completely disconnects the AGP bridge
(along with VGA behind it) from the bus and then calls pci_do_scan_bus()
where printks are quite possible.
<pavel@ucw.cz>
[PATCH] amd756 and amd8111 sensors support
Add support for amd756 and amd8111 sensors
<greg@kroah.com>

<rth@are.twiddle.net>
[FB] First cut at updating tgafb to 2.5 fb api. A large
scale rewrite modeled off of skeletonfb.c.
<wrlk@riede.org>
One more update for osst in 2.5.53
Below is a patch for osst, against 2.5.53, which fixes a couple of bugs,
among which a pretty likely oops, and includes some cleanup.
At this point I'm pretty satisfied that it works properly.
<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] USB: take out private pointer from struct usb_serial_port
The struct device pointer should be used instead.
<greg@kroah.com>

<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] USB: use usb_get_serial_data() and usb_set_serial_data() functions.
<jdike@uml.karaya.com>
Fixed the calls to os_get_process in port_kern.c
<vojtech@suse.cz>
Workaround (ide-timing.h) for many ATAPI CD/DVD-ROMs and burners.
They need extended (beyond spec) address setup timing, and as such
don't work on recent VIA chipsets.
<david-b@pacbell.net>
[PATCH] usbcore dma updates (and doc)
Attached is a patch leveraging some of the new generic dma stuff:
- Replaces dma mapping calls in usbcore with generic equivalents.
This is a minor code shrink (which we'd hoped could happen).
- Pass dma mask along, so net drivers can notice it'd be good to
set NETIF_F_HIGHDMA; or scsi ones can set highmem_io. (Some
Intel EHCI setups are able to support this kind of DMA.)
- Updates one net driver (usbnet) to set NETIF_F_HIGHDMA when
appropriate, mostly as an example (since I can't test this).
- Provides Documentation/usb/dma.txt, describing current APIs.
(Unchanged by this patch, except dma mask visibility.)
- Converted another info() to dev_info(), and likewise a couple
dbg() to dev_dbg() conversions in the modified routine.
The number of FIXMEs was conserved: the generic API doesn't yet
fix the error reporting bugs in the PCI-specific mapping API.
<dmitri@users.sourceforge.net>

Here is the patch for 2.5.53. It removes parameters that have no use
in the ultracam driver (and they were broken anyway).
<pablo@menichini.com.ar>
[PATCH] Handle kmalloc fails: drivers/usb/input/pid.c
This patch tries to check the return value of kmalloc taking the necesary
action to solve the problem.
<greg@kroah.com>

<greg@kroah.com>
[PATCH] USB: rename usb_free_dev() to usb_put_dev()
This was done to make the next reference count patch easier,
and because almost everyone was already calling usb_put_dev() anyway...

[PATCH] Fix pci-dma compatibility code for "dev == NULL"
The compat API doesn't cope correctly if struct pci_dev is NULL, as it
can be for the x86 fake pci_dev handling.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] Modules without init functions don't need exit functions
If modules don't use module_exit(), they cannot be unloaded. This
safety mechanism should not apply for modules which don't use
module_init() (implying they have nothing to clean up anyway).
<acme@conectiva.com.br>
o sparc: add missing __{start,stop}___param to vmlinux.lds.S

<sam@ravnborg.org>
[PATCH] Spurious recompile with defconfig
When compiling aic7xxx in 2.5.53 with defconfig the kernel always
recompiles because dependency for reg_print.c is not per default in the
aic7xxx Makefile.
Simple correction is to make PRETTY_PRINT dependend on BUILD_FIRMWARE.

[PATCH] Atari NCR5380 SCSI: bitops operate on long
Atari NCR5380 SCSI: bitops operate on long, not char.

Fix AGP module oops
The stack trace shows that we should be in agp_find_max() as
called from agp_backend_initialize(). However, agp_find_max()
is __init and its code has already been removed at this point
(since agpgart and intel-agp are separate modules), causing
the kernel to execute random code and eventually oops.
The patch below works around this by changing agpgart's __init
code & data to normal code & data. Tested, works for me.

[PATCH] share i386/x86-64 oprofile code
The x86-64 port shares the oprofile code with i386. This needs some
minor changes in the i386 oprofile, mostly to use
instruction_pointer(regs) to access the EIP instead of referencing it
directly. On i386 this is a nop.

[PATCH] deprecated function attribute
This patch adds support for usage of the attribute as "deprecated" and
is backward-compatible. Usage is:
int deprecated foo(void)
etc..
If we mark a function as deprecated, then each use of the function emits
a warning like:
foo.c:12: warning: `baz' is deprecated (declared at bar.c:60)
Which is very informative, giving both the location of each usage and
where the little bastard is declared.

* iopl() - needs iret to restore eflags with new IOPL levels.

[PATCH] Embed __this_module in module itself.
Rather than have the module loader the module structure and
resolve the symbols __this_module to it, make __this_module a real

module names.
This saves us an allocation (saving a page per module on
archs which need the module structure close by), and means we don't
have to fill in a few module fields.

2.5.53 SCSI_IOCTL_GET_IDLUN+GET_BUS_NUMBER revisited
Currently for block devices both the SCSI_IOCTL_GET_IDLUN and
SCSI_IOCTL_GET_BUS_NUMBER ioctls yield the value 0 (type: int).
Various applications that utilize the sg driver use these ioctls
to work out the relationship between sg devices and their higher
level counterparts in the sd, sr, st and osst drivers. Examples
that spring to mind are cdrecord, cdparanoia, SANE and sg_utils.
This has been discussed in an earlier threaded started by me:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=103967899608891&w=2
in which my patch removed the ioctls in question from the block
level. This broke non-scsi block devices that used applications
that thought they were talking to an sg device **.
The attachment fine tunes the original patch: for scsi block
devices (i.e. owned by the sd or sr drivers) these 2 ioctls
are redirected to the scsi mid level; for non-scsi block
devices they will yield the value as 0 as they do now in
lk 2.5.53 .
** This "yield 0" strategy will come unstuck when 2 or more
cd writers (for example) are connected to the same box.
Hence to be well formed, these ioctls (together) should
produce unique tuples for each device (be they ATA(PI) or
SCSI).

[PATCH] crc32 speedup/use anywhere
This patch combines my patch which statically initialises the crc32
tables so they can be used at any time (during initialisation) and
Joakim Tjernlund's patch to speed up the crc calculations by doing word
operations instead of exclusively byte.
The crc routines are used extensively in jffs2 where speed is very
important.
I need the crc32 routines to calculate a checksum on values read from an
eeprom which contain cpu speed and memory size information - so they are
needed very much earlier in the initialisation process than they are
currently available.

Documentation/sysctl/fs.txt is incorrect wrt to the middle number of

Cleanup patch from Hollis Blanchard <hollis@austin.ibm.com>
We have a large number of private implementations of BIN_TO_BCD and

they modify their arg:
#define BIN_TO_BCD(val) ((val)=(((val)/10)<<4) + (val)%10)
- Create (in <linux/bcd.h> a generic BIN2BCD/BCD2BIN which does not modify
its arg
- Create generic BIN_TO_BCD/BCD_TO_BIN which uses the above
- Update lots of callers to use the new generic version.

[PATCH] don't call console drivers on non-online CPUs
George Anzinger identified the following problem: when a secondary CPU is
coming up, it calls printk() before it is "online". It calls the console
drivers before its per-cpu storage has been prepared. And the vga console
driver does a mod_timer(). This CPU's timers have not yet been initialised;
it is not clear why this doesn't oops - George thinks it is because virtual
address zero is still accessible at that time.
I believe the right way to fix this is to change printk so that a not-online
CPU will not call the console drivers. Because printk should always be
callable. If the CPU is not online the message is buffered, so the next
caller to printk who is online will actually display it.
ia64 has been doing exactly this for ages, so we can remove the
arch_consoles_callable() hook and just open-code the cpu_online() test in
printk.
That fixes things up for the secondary CPUs. But this change causes a
problem for the boot CPU: it is being marked online very late in boot, so the
printk buffer is being displayed much later than we would like.
I believe that the solution to this is to mark the boot CPU online much
earlier. So in this patch we call the new arch-provided function
smp_prepare_boot_cpu() immediately after the boot CPU's per-cpu areas are set
up. Its mandate is to (at least) mark the boot CPU "online".
The change has been reviewed by davem and rth. No comments were received
from the other arch maintainers.

[PATCH] Reduce context switch rate due to the random driver
add_disk_randomness() is causing a context switch per disk request. It

But is has a buffer for this, so change it to not set up the
process-context work until that buffer is half full.
The patch reduces the context switch rate during a 20 megabyte/sec
write to scsi from 150/sec to 50/sec.

[PATCH] cleanup after dead hc needs task context
Simple patch to invoke hcd->stop() in task context, as
required. When Cardbus works again (broken in 2.5.53
unless it's just me), this will get rid of some oopsing
when folk physically eject the device, with no shutdown.
As well as making other "hc died" faults behave better.

Decend into the aic7xxx directory for the aic79xx driver too.

Correct leading whitespace.
Remove incorrect dependency on SCSI_AIC7XXX_BUILD_FIRMWARE (the
wrong driver noless) and AIC79XX_REG_PRETTY_PRINT. The constant
rebuild is due to the build process deciding that the pretty_print.c
file is an intermediate file and that problem lies elsewhere.

Preface the "asserting atn" diagnostic with controller/target information.
Restore a call to ahc_assert_atn() that was inadvertantly lost when the
asserting atn diagnostic was added. This, among other things, resulted
in driver negotiation failures with devices that initiated negotiation
(e.g. most IBM drives).

Clean up check_region() usage. It is deprecated in 2.5.X and 2.4.X,
but is still required in earlier kernels.
<gibbs@overdrive.btc.adaptec.com>
Add a failsafe mechanism to configure devices that have inquiry data
but somehow are not handled by the DV state machine. This ensures that
the behavior seen before DV is restored in the event of a DV state machine
failure.

kbuild: Fix kallsyms on 64 bit archs
The generated .tmp_kallsyms.S needs to use .long / .quad for
32/64 bit archs. To know which arch we're compiling for, we
use the preprocessor and BITS_PER_LONG from <asm/types.h>.
Unfortunately, asm/types.h was not safe to include from assembler
files, so lots of #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ needed to be added - should
be fine now, untested for != i386, though.

kbuild: $(build) and $(clean) macros for make invocation
The former macro $(descend ...) hide for make the fact that a recursively make was
invoked. The replacement $(Q)$(MAKE) -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=dir was too verbose.
Introduced $(build) and $(clean) allowing the following syntax:
$(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=arch/i386/boot target
and similar for clean.
Introduced $(build) and $(clean) in general, and for i386 architecture.
<sam@mars.ravnborg.org>
kbuild: Move archhelp to arch/$(ARCH)/Makefile
arch/$(ARCH)/Makefile already contains the kbuild required additions
to allow the kernel to be built for the architecture in question.
Moving archhelp centralise this information, and no longer require a
boot directory to exist to utilise this feature.
Update i386 to define archhelp in arch/$(ARCH)/Makefile
Other architectures will be updated in next cset.
<sam@mars.ravnborg.org>
kbuild/arm: archhelp and $(build)

kbuild: Provide "make some/dir/module.ko"
Now that we have a unique suffix for kernel modules (.ko), we
can extend to former "make some/object.o" to work for kernel modules
as well, even composite ones.
It's as easy as "make some/dir/module.ko".

- Declare and use CLEAR_BITMAP() to set all bits in a bitmap to zero
- Fix bitops call problems that got unnoticed before

<jsimmons@maxwell.earthlink.net>
Showing the logo on every open became annoying. I leave it up to the driver writers when they want to display the logo. Fo embede+
d devices it probably is wise to have them set there mode themselves then display the logo to let them know if the hartdware worked.+
FOnt header file location changed.

[PATCH] Fusion-MPT Update (2.03.01.01)
This upgrades the Fusion-MPT driver from 2.03.00.02 to 2.03.01.01.
Bug Fixes:
o Added back missing queuecommand entry point define ?!
o Added to code to break marriage of two controllers during unload
(could cause a panic)
o SCSI driver will de-register with base driver if no SCSI-capable
adapters found
Minor Changes:
o Removed errant spaces at ends of lines (most of the changes)
o Moved code around (and in-lined) some functions for performance reasons.
o Modified /proc functionality to facilitate testing with 2.5
o Added a call to synchronize_irq on unload (HP request)
o Modified load of base to close a potential hole
o Added code to set the FW IO coalescing depth (IBM request)
o Changed return when mptctl driver registration fails (Kernel.org request)
o SCSI driver detect routine calls a generic spinlock for all kernels
(Kernel.org request)
o Controller RAID page dynamic instead of static
Currently running a multi-disk stress test w/ 2.5.53, this patch and driver
built-in. Verified basic reset handling is working properly.

[PATCH] devfs creptomancy
As already state in the thread about Adam's devfs reimplementation there
is much devfs functionality that is unused or only used by the
arch/ia64/sn/ code that currently doesn't even compile in 2.5 and that
will get it's own filesystem that fits the needs better when SGI moves
to 2.6.
(the first hunk is the only exception to the above rule, but it's just
a debug printk :))

[PATCH] some ppp/usecount bug
There's a bunch of useless MOD_INC_USE_COUNT/MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT in
ppp-related code when it manipulates the use count in functions
that are only called from other modules, i.e. it's locked in by
the depencies anyway. Get rid of it.

[PATCH] quota locking update
I've been carrying this since Jan sent it out a month or two ago.
I don't know if anyone has tested it though. The sort of people
who use quotas tend to like nice stable kernels. I read through it,
but can't say that I know enough about quotas to know if it makes sense.
The wait_on_dquot() synchronisation is a bit odd.
I do need to do a round of stability testing with this and ext3 - the
interaction between quotas and ext3 is an area where we've had deadlocks
in the past.
But the quota locking is definitely looking crufty, and I'd suggest that
we run with this..
Patch from Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
"I'm resending you the patch with new quota SMP locking. The patch removes
BKL and replaces it with two spinlocks protecting quota lists and data
stored in dquot structures. Also non-SMP locking was changed a bit make SMP
locking easier (eg. we got rid of not very nice dq_dup_ref counters). The
patch is against 2.5.48 but applies well also to 2.5.49. Would you please
apply the patch?"
- Change dqoff_sem from a semaphore to an rwsem.
- Convert dqi_flags from an int to a ulong and use test_bit/set_bit rather
thatn &/|
- The various exported quota operations now run without lock_kernel().
This means that things like DQUOT_ALLOC_SPACE no longer take lock_kernel()
in out high-perfomance filesystems. Nice.
- Replace lock_kernel() in the quota code with two quota-private global
locks.
- Replace all the open-coded waitqueue management with a semaphore
(wait_on_dquot())

[PATCH] Modules 1/3: remove common section handling
As RTH pointed out, we use -fno-common for the kernel (otherwise we'd
have to sort out the small symbols anyway).
So the common section allocation in the module code is pointless.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] Modules 2/3: Use sh_addr instead of sh_offset
From: Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net>
Richard points out that we should be using sh_addr to hold the address,
The original patch used to overload sh_offset to a pointer to the
location of the section. This uses sh_addr, which is more correct
and less surprising.
<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
[PATCH] Modules 3/3: Sort sections
RTH's final complaint (so far 8) was that we should sort the module
sections: archs might require some sections to be adjacent, so they can
all be reached by a relative pointer (ie. GOT pointer). This
implements that reordering, and simplfies the module interface for
architectures as well.
Previously an arch could specify it wanted extra space, but not where
that space would be. The new method (used only by PPC so far) is to
allocate an empty section (in asm/module.h or by setting LDFLAGS_MODULE
to use an arch specific linker script), and expand that to the desired
size in "module_frob_arch_sections()".
