Vendors often ship machines with a choice of integrated or discrete graphics, and use the same DSDT for both. As a result, the ACPI video module will locate devices that may not exist on this specific platform. Attempt to determine whether the device exists or not, and abort the device creation if it do not exist.

Some machines seem to need the backlight brightness to be reset on resume. Add support for doing so to the video module.

Display switching via ACPI control methods are not known to work on any platforms. Further, the X community wants to control the display switching all by themselves without BIOS/AML involvement. Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Introduce new module parameter for brightness control. "brightness_switch_enabled" is set by default which means nothing changes upon brightness switch events. When "brightness_switch_enabled" is cleared via "echo 0 > /sys/module/video/parameters/brightness_switch_enabled", ACPI will not try to change the brightness level any more. Either X will take charge of this or users can change the brightness level by poking /sys/class/backlight/acpi_videoX/...

This merges the mux.c (including the connection interface) with trans_fd in preparation for transport API changes. Ultimately, trans_fd will need to be rewritten to clean it up and simplify the implementation, but this reorganization is viewed as the first step.

Request from rusty: Just cleaning up patches for 2.6.25 merge, and noticed that net/9p/trans_virtio.c doesn't have a remove function. This will crash when removing the module (console doesn't have one because it can't really be removed). Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

When booting from v9fs, down_interruptible in p9_idpool_get() triggered a BUG as it was being called with IRQs disabled. A spinlock seems like the right thing to be using since the idr functions go out of their way not to sleep. This patch eliminates the BUG by converting the semaphore to a spinlock.

v9fs was allowing writable mmap which could lead to kernel BUG() cases. This sets the mmap function to generic_file_readonly_mmap which (correctly) returns an error to applications which open mmap for writing. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

GDM gets unhappy if /var/gdm doesn't have the sticky bit set. This patch adds support for the sticky bit in much the same way setuid/setgid is supported. With this patch, I can launch X from a v9fs rootfs (although I quickly run out of fds in the server once gnome starts up).

When a new user attached at a directory other than the root, he would end up in the parent directory of the cwd.

Pavel Emelyanov reported that his networking card did not work and bisected it down to: " The commit 093af8d7 x86_32: trim memory by updating e820 broke my e1000 card: on loading driver says that e1000: probe of 0000:04:03.0 failed with error -5 and the interface doesn't appear. " on a 32-bit kernel, base will overflow when try to do PAGE_SHIFT, and highest_addr will always less 4G. So use pfn instead of address to avoid the overflow when more than 4g RAM is installed on a 32-bit kernel. Many thanks to Pavel Emelyanov for reporting and testing it.

The .rodata section really should just be read only; the config option is there to make breaking up the 2Mb page an option (so people whos machines give more performance for the 2Mb case can opt to do so). But when the page gets split anyway, this is no longer an issue, so clean up the code and remove the ifdefs Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This change broke recovery of exceptions in iret: commit 72fe4858 Author: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> x86: replace privileged instructions with paravirt macros The ENTRY(native_iret) macro adds alignment padding before the iretq instruction, so "iret_label" no longer points exactly at the instruction. It was sloppy to leave the old "iret_label" label behind when replacing its nearby use. Removing it would have revealed the other use of the label later in the file, and upon noticing that use, anyone exercising the minimum of attention to detail expected of anyone touching this subtle code would realize it needed to change as well.

In my revamp of the x86 ptrace code for setting register values, I accidentally omitted a check that was there in the old code. Allowing %cs to be 0 causes a bad crash in recovery from iret failure.

There is a check in sys_brk(), that tries to make sure that we do not underflow the area that is dedicated to brk heap. The check is however wrong, as it assumes that brk area starts immediately after the end of the code (+bss), which is wrong for example in environments with randomized brk start. The proper way is to check whether the address is not below the start_brk address. Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

In very rare cases, on certain CPUs, we could end up in the spurious fault handler and ignore a large pud/pmd mapping. The resulting pte pointer points into the mapped physical space and dereferencing it will fault recursively. Make the code aware of large mappings and do the permission check on the pmd/pud entry, when a large pud/pmd mapping is detected.
