<akpm@digeo.com>
   [PATCH] fix deadlock over proc_lock
   
   From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>
   
   Martin found out what caused the deadlocks with 2.5.70 and SDET: I forgot
   to initialize proc_lock during fork().  Usually this works, because the
   parent lock is unlocked.  But a proc lookup during fork can cause it to be
   locked, and then the system locks up.

<B.Zolnierkiewicz@elka.pw.edu.pl>
   [PATCH] ide: bring non-taskfile code back
   
   Unexpectedly there are some taskfile IO bugreports,
   so bring back old code and add taskfile IO config option (default y).
   This aids testing and lets people use safe(?) old code.

<B.Zolnierkiewicz@elka.pw.edu.pl>
   [PATCH] ide: Power Management
   
   Patch by Benjamin Herrenschmidt, minor fixes by me.

<B.Zolnierkiewicz@elka.pw.edu.pl>
   [PATCH] ide: move "config IDE" to drivers/ide/Kconfig
   
   Patch by Matthew Wilcox.
   
   Allows all architectures to simply include the drivers/ide/Kconfig file.

<mikpe@csd.uu.se>
   [PATCH] local APIC blacklist rules updates
   
   This patch removes the x86 local APIC blacklist rules for the
   Microstar 6163 and Intel AL440LX mainboards. These boards do
   work with local APIC enabled. Heavily tested. Please apply.
   
   Long story: When I worked on the initial UP_APIC code, these
   two mainboard (MS-6163 and AL440LX) were the only ones that
   caused hangs when the local APIC was enabled. At the time,
   I attributed these hangs to broken BIOSen and implemented DMI
   scan blacklist rules to prevent enabling the local APIC on them.
   
   However, the last year I've observed hangs on other mainboards
   that initially were believed to be safe for local APIC. The
   hangs turned out to be caused by APM's DISPLAY_BLANK option:
   When this option is enabled, APM will invoke BIOS and graphics
   card BIOS code without disabling the local APIC first. In many
   cases, a local APIC timer interrupt while APM is trying to blank
   the console will hang the system.
   
   APM also has two other options that can hang the system: CPU_IDLE
   and building APM as a module, both of which causes it to do BIOS
   calls without disabling the local APIC first. On all my systems,
   the only reliable configuration is to keep APM's DISPLAY_BLANK and
   CPU_IDLE disabled, and to build APM non-modular.

<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
   [BLUETOOTH]: Remove unused local var in rfcomm/tty.c

<mikpe@csd.uu.se>
   [PATCH] local APIC driver model cleanups
   
   This patch cleans up a few leftovers after Mochel's recent
   driver model changes. Tested. Please apply.
   
   - arch/i386/kernel/apic.c: <linux/module.h> no longer needed
   - include/asm-i386/apic.h: device_lapic no longer exported

<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
   [TCP]: Make sure tcp_tw_bucket tw_daddr is aligned properly.

<paulus@samba.org>
   [PATCH] fix weird kmalloc bug
   
   Last night, Manfred and I found an interesting bug with kmalloc on
   ppc32, where the kmalloc in alloc_super() (fs/super.c) was requesting
   432 bytes but only getting 256 bytes.  The reason was that PAGE_SIZE
   wasn't defined at the point where the kmalloc() inline function
   occurs.  Thus the CACHE(32) entry got omitted from the list in
   kmalloc_sizes.h, and kmalloc therefore used the entry in
   malloc_sizes[] before the correct entry.
   
   This patch fixes it by including asm/page.h and asm/cache.h in
   linux/slab.h.  The list in kmalloc_sizes.h depends on L1_CACHE_BYTES
   as well as PAGE_SIZE, which is why I added asm/cache.h.

<anton@samba.org>
   [PATCH] fix compat_sys_getrusage
   
   compat_sys_getrusage was returning the result of a logical or. Make
   it return the result of sys_getrusage if it fails or -EFAULT if we
   cant write it out to userspace.

<robert.olsson@data.slu.se>
   [IPV4]: Add rtcache hash lookup statistics to rtstat.

<torvalds@home.transmeta.com>
   Fix up missing header files

<yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org>
   [IPSEC]: Fix xfrm_alloc_spi() always selecting minspi.

<akpm@digeo.com>
   [PATCH] NUMA fixes
   
   From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
   
   
   Anton has been testing odd setups:
   
   /* node 0 - no cpus, no memory */
   /* node 1 - 1 cpu, no memory */
   /* node 2 - 0 cpus, 1GB memory */
   /* node 3 - 3 cpus, 3GB memory */
   
   Two things tripped so far.  Firstly the ppc64 debug check for invalid cpus
   in cpu_to_node().  Fix that in kernel/sched.c:node_nr_running_init().
   
   The other problem concerned nodes with memory but no cpus.  kswapd tries to
   set_cpus_allowed(0) and bad things happen.  So we only set cpu affinity
   for kswapd if there are cpus in the node.

<kiran@in.ibm.com>
   [DECNET]: Fix signedness error in dm_ioctl().

<akpm@digeo.com>
   [PATCH] compat_ioctl fixes
   
   From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
   
   - Add BLKRASET/BLKFRASET as compatible ioctls
   
   - Remove ifdefs around RTC ioctls - ppc64 implements its own rtc driver
     and doesnt define CONFIG_RTC.
   
   - remove SG_IO which is not compatible
   
   - extra loop, autofs, NCP and bluetooth ioctls

<kiran@in.ibm.com>
   [TUN]: Fix signedness error in tun_get_user().

   [PATCH] Unisys ES7000 platform subarch 1/2: generic bits
   
   From: "Protasevich, Natalie" <Natalie.Protasevich@unisys.com>
   
   The patch set adds support for the Unisys ES7000 series architecture.
   It covers different ES7000 platform variations with their corresponding APIC
   architectures, such as Fosters-Gallatins based (XAPIC) ES7000s as well as
   older Cascades based (logical cluster) ES7000 machines.
   The patch was discussed among platform developers on LK and later resided in
   the Alan's tree for 4-5 weeks for testing. Alan indicated that there are
   "Zero complaints of any kind, zero problems from the changed code". He
   recommended submit the patch. The code was tested by IBM as well as others
   and did not have any impact on existing subarchs and on standard systems.
   
   
   Here is the "generic" patch #1.  It deals with the IRQ overrides (most of
   changes in mpparse.c and PCI range adjustment in io_apic.c), insufficient
   width of IO-APIC ID, and a corner case for defining quantities of things like
   APICs, IRQ sources, etc.  (the attempt to make easier defining these items in
   subarchs resulted in separation of MP definition portion in
   include/asm-i386/mpparse.h from its enumeration portion).  It has also
   Venkatesh Palladi's fix that he suggested earlier for the correct APIC
   version; I had to have it for this platform since the correct APIC version
   will be needed later for dynamic platform discovery when es7000 will be
   incorporated into genapic.

<shemminger@osdl.org>
   [NET]: Convert SLIP driver to alloc_netdev.

<akpm@digeo.com>
   [PATCH] Unisys ES7000 2/2: platform subarch
   
   From: "Protasevich, Natalie" <Natalie.Protasevich@UNISYS.com>
   
   Include ES7000 specific code for es7000 subarch.

<shemminger@osdl.org>
   [NET]: Network hotplug via class_device/kobject.
   
   This patch changes network devices to run hotplug out of the
   kobject/class_device infrastructure rather than calling it
   from the network code.  The code gets simpler and there is
   only one place for Greg to fix when he changes the API.
   
   All hotplug now happens off the chain:
        rtnl_unlock -> netdev_run_todo -> netdev_sysfs_{un}register
   
   The state flag deadbeef was converted to a state enumeration tp
   handle necessary book keeping, and adds some defense against
   drivers that have unexpected semantics.

<akpm@digeo.com>
   [PATCH] pcips2.c compile fix
   
   From: Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz>
   
   - irq_return_t fixes
   
   - remove obsolete pci_driver.driver bits

<paulus@samba.org>
   [NET]: Use unregister_netdev() in ppp.

<akpm@digeo.com>
   [PATCH] Some clean up of the time code.
   
   From: george anzinger <george@mvista.com>
   
   This patch does the following:
   
   Pushs down the change from timeval to timespec in the settime routines.
   
   Fixes two places where time was set without updating the monotonic clock
   offset.  (Changes sys_stime() to call do_settimeofday() and changes
   clock_warp to do the update directly.) These were bugs!
   
   Changes the uptime code to use the posix_clock_monotonic notion of uptime
   instead of the jiffies.  This time will track NTP changes and so should be
   better than your standard wristwatch (if your using ntp).
   
   Changes posix_clock_monotonic to start at 0 on boot (was set to start at
   initial jiffies).
   
   Fixes a bug (never experienced) in timer_create() in posix-timers.c where
   we "could" have released timer_id 0 if "id resources" were low.
   
   Adds a test in do_settimeofday() to error out (EINVAL) attempts to use
   unnormalized times.  This is passed back up to both settimeofday and
   posix_setclock().
   
   Warning: Requires changes in .../arch/???/kernel/time.c to change
   do_settimeofday() to return an error if time is not normalized and to use a
   timespec instead of timeval for its input.

<davem@nuts.ninka.net>
   [TCP]: Use proper time_*() comparisons on jiffies.

<akpm@digeo.com>
   [PATCH] More time clean up stuff
   
   From: george anzinger <george@mvista.com>
   
   This patch addresses issues of roundoff error in the time keeping and NTP
   code as follows:
   
   The conversion of "actual jiffies" to TICK_USEC and then to TICK_NSEC
   introduced large errors if jiffies was not a power of 10 (e.g.  1024 for
   the ia64).  Most of this is avoided by converting directly to TICK_NSEC.
   
   The calculation of MAX_SEC_IN_JIFFIES (the largest timespec or timeval the
   kernel will attempt) had overflow problems in the 64-bit machines.  We
   introduce a different equation for those machines.
   
   The NTP frequency update code was allowing a micro second of error to
   accumulate before applying the correction.  We change FINEUSEC to FINENSEC
   to do the correction as soon as a full nanosecond has accumulated.
   
   The initial calculation of time_freq for NTP had severe roundoff errors for
   HZ not a power of 10 (i.e.  1024).  A new equation fixes this.
   
   clock_nanosleep is changed to round up to the next jiffie to cover starting
   between jiffies.

   [PATCH] arcnet oops fix
   
   From: Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com>
   
   Forward-port of a fix Alan merged into 2.4.21-pre.  It fixes arcnet oopses
   with raw sockets.

<akpm@digeo.com>
   [PATCH] remove anon_hash_chain
   
   From: James Morris <jmorris@intercode.com.au>
   
   This patch against current bk removes anon_hash_chain from fs/inode.c, as
   all inodes in the 2.5 kernel must be associated with a superblock, and the
   anon hash is no longer needed.
   
   (akpm: Well there's one inode with a null i_sb: swapper_inode.  But it
   shouldn't get here and if it does, we'll fix it by other means).

<akpm@digeo.com>
   [PATCH] tmpfs: revert license to 2.4 version
   
   From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>, Christoph Rohland <cr@sap.com>
   
   Switches the long GPL blurb which Hugh took from the 2.4-ac version of
   mm/shmem.c, back to the original oneliner (as in 2.4.current).
   
   Christoph spotted that the long blurb says "either version 2 of the License,
   or (at your option) any later version", whereas he intended it be as COPYING
   says, version 2 period.  Hugh and Christoph are happier with known version 2
   than undefined future variants.

<akpm@digeo.com>
   [PATCH] dm: Repair persistent minors
   
   From: Joe Thornber <thornber@sistina.com>
   
   Split the dm_create() function into two variants, depending on whether you
   want the device to have a specific minor number.  This avoids the broken
   overloading of the minor argument to the old dm_create().

<akpm@digeo.com>

   From: Albert Cahalan <albert@users.sourceforge.net>
   
   This is needed so that apps can set appropriate column widths for PID

   [PATCH] Fix rpc dentry list usage
   
   This fixes the problems with NFS that got triggered by the list
   poisoning.
   
   The problem is that whereas using the dentry->d_hash list for private
   purposes was previously harmless, it is not allowed with the RCU lists,
   because we depend on the unhashed node continuing to point back to the
   original list.
   
   So keep a small vector of dentries around instead of using the d_hash
   list to keep track of them.

<rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>
   [PCMCIA] Prevent class_device related oops.
   
   Although no such oops has been reported, removing a socket driver
   while a file under /sysfs/class/pcmcia_socket/pcmcia_socket* is
   held open by user space could potentially cause an oops.
   
   Plug this by preventing pcmcia_unregister_socket from returning
   until all references by sysfs to the pcmcia socket have been dropped.

   [PATCH] sonypi driver update
   
   * fix a hang problem when loading the driver on (at least) a
     PCG-FX105k. Thanks to Jozef Kruger for reporting the problem
     and testing different versions of this fix.
   
   * fix a .text.exit problem in the sonypi driver related to the
     recent PM changes (thanks to Adrian Bunk for the patch).
   
   * fix the irq handling reports (make sonypi always report IRQ_HANDLED)
     because there *are* events belonging to the sonypi device which
     are not (yet) recognized by the driver and we don't want those
     to pollute the logs...
   
   * test if the ACPI subsystem is not disabled before trying to
     use its ec_read/ec_write methods.
   
   * fix the hangs when enabling bluetooth (thanks to Daniel K. for
     the patch).
   
   * other miscellaneous small fixes.

<stelian@popies.net>
   [PATCH] meye driver update
   
   * replace the pci_alloc_consistent calls with dma_alloc_coherent
     because we want to do the allocations at GFP_KERNEL priority and
     not GFP_ATOMIC because we request quite a bit of memory and the
     allocation fails quite frequently.
   
     It would be better to have a pci_alloc_consistent with an extra
     parameter (priority) but since we haven't, and the meye driver is
     supposed to work only on ix86 platforms we can safely do the
     change.
   
   * fix the DMA engine stop request. The hard freezes encountered
     when using this driver and repeatedly opening/closing the device
     have been tracked down to this particular piece of code. The new
     version seems to work way better, I haven't had a single freeze
     since the change.
   
   * fix the irq handler prototype (irqreturn_t changes).

<ak@colin.muc.de>
   [PATCH] Fix over-alignment problem on x86-64
   
   Thanks to Jan Hubicka who suggested this fix.
   
   The problem seems to be that gcc generates a 32byte alignment for static
   objects > 32bytes.  This causes gas to set a high alignment on the
   section, which causes the uneven (not multiple of sizeof(struct
   kernel_param)) section size.  The pointer division with a base not being
   a multiple of sizeof(*ptr) then causes the invalid result.
   
   This just forces a small alignment, which makes the section end come out
   with the correct alignment.
   
   The only mystery left is why ld chose a 16 byte padding instead of
   32byte.

   [PATCH] Clean up kernel parameter array declaration
   
   Declare the parameter array as an array, rather than a single entry.
   
   This doesn't matter for code generation, but may be less likely to cause
   problems down the line, since we're telling gcc more about the real
   situation.

   [PATCH] parisc arch update
   
   This update covers a lot of changes to arch/parisc and parisc-specific
   drivers.
   
    - irq_return_t changes
    - more work on the module loader (James Bottomley)
    - rewrite of led.c by Helge Deller
    - many miscellaneous updates

   [PATCH] unusual_devs fixups
   
   This moves the initialization of the struct scsi_device fields
   use_10_for_ms and use_10_for_rw into a central place.  This allows the
   host's slave_configure() function to change them (with effect).  This
   also collapses two identical sections of code into a single one.
   
   This is needed by usb-storage, so we can resolve some Babble problems,
   some device-crashing problems, and remove a great deal of troublesome
   mode-sense-translation code.

   [PATCH] Fix typo in timing changes + support for x86-64
   
   The us->ns conversion must be in the "tv" if branch of settimeofday,
   not in the "tz" if.
   
   Also make it compile for x86-64 again. The 32bit emulation was forgotten
   in the conversion.

<ak@suse.de>
   [PATCH] Fix compilation of 32bit ioctl emulation on x86-64
   
   The NCP ioctls are declared unconditionally in compat_ioctl now, which needs this
   include to still compile on x86-64.

   [PATCH] ColdFire serial driver fixups
   
   A number of small ColdFire serial driver fixups:
    - use correct irq handler return type (irqreturn_t)
    - add support for mark and space parity
    - some casting to keep types clean (and remove compile warnings)
    - fix missing ";" after local tty_driver struct definition

<rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
   [PATCH] clean up overzealous deprecated warning
   
   1) We export __check_region, so making it __deprecated gives a spurious
      warning in kernel/ksyms.c.
   2) Other warnings refer to __check_region rather than check_region,
      which has confused some people.
   
   Make check_region an inline, not a macro, and deprecate *that*.

   [PATCH] x86-64 merge
   
   Lots of small fixes and I merged the PCI subsystem with i386 again
   because it was mostly identical. This makes the patch quite big,
   but it only removes files.
   
    - Merge PCI subsystem with i386.
   
      This changes the initialization order of PCI and IOMMU slightly.  It
      didn't see any problems yet, but it could cause some in theory.  It
      re-adds some code that used to be removed, but it's only small stuff
      and it should hopefully cause less mainteance overhead longer term.
   
    - Fix warnings
    - Merge cpuid.c with i386.c
    - Sync msr.c with i386
    - Consolidate externs in asm/proto.h
    - sysfs/sysdev fixes for apic/nmi (Bryan O'Sullivan)
    - Fix /proc/kcore access
    - Add real kern_addr_valid (used for above).
    - Support consistent dma_mask in IOMMU
    - Fix double print of AMD for CPU model.
    - Remove unused wakeup.S file.
    - Remove obsolete CONFIG_SIMNOW ifdef.
    - Support ptrace access for 32bit vsyscalls.
    - Fix warnings in 32bit boot code compilation.
