this is a sync with the current ALSA CVS tree (last code
modification: (Sun Feb 17 17:46:41 2002 UTC)) and 2.5.5-pre1 code and
contains:

- ALSA code version 0.9.0beta11
- Config.in files updated (separated associated drivers to submenus)
- global sound/Makefile fixes
- added inclusion of missing header files for alpha architecture
- fixed power functions (bad locking)
- fixed copy_to_user calls (removed them from spinlocks)
- fixed freeing of resource structures
- fixed AD1816A driver (inverted volume controls)
- added new functions to allocate ISA DMA memory (cleanups in ISA drivers)
- updated ISA PnP detection in wavefront driver
- added joystick support for VIA686
- updated ES1968 (Maestro2) driver
- moved joystick support for YMFPCI to the control interface
- updated Korg1212 driver

fs/proc/inode.c is using __init, but for some reason missing an
#include <linux/init.h>. Add this.

Add Andi Kleen as x86-64 maintainer.

This adds the x86_64 arch and asm directories and a Documentation/x86_64.

It took a bit longer because I first had to make preemption and thread_info
work and also found some other bugs while doing this. The port has been
tested for a long time on UP.

I'm not sure what I should describe.  A lot is based on i386 with
a lot of cleanups. I wrote a paper about it for last year's OLS that describes
most of the changes (ftp://ftp.firstfloor.org/pub/ak/x86_64.ps.gz). It is
a bit outdated now, but should give a good overview.

It currently has a completely cut'n'pasted from others+hacked 32bit
emulation. I hope to clean that up in the future by merging the generic
core of this with other 64bit archs.

Thanks,

Just an gcc 3.1 warning fix. It now warns about __FUNCTION__ string
concatenation. Also remove the check because it does not seem to trigger
ever.

for the definition of unlikely().

The patch below changes access_process_vm to use a new architecture
hook, flush_icache_user_range, instead of flush_icache_page, and adds
a definition of flush_icache_user_range which does the same thing as
flush_icache_page for all architectures except PPC.  (The PPC update
that is in Linus' BK tree already includes a suitable definition of
flush_icache_user_range.)

The reason for doing this is that when flush_icache_page is called
from do_no_page or do_swap_page, I want to be able to do the flush
conditionally, based on the state of the page.  In contrast,
access_process_vm needs to do the flush unconditionally since it has
just modified the page.  In the access_process_vm case it is useful to
have the information about the user address and length that have been
modified since then we can just flush the affected cache lines rather
than the whole page.

This patch should make it easy to improve performance on alpha, since
there (as I understand it) the icache flush is not needed at all in
do_no_page or do_swap_page, but is needed in access_process_vm.  All
that is needed is to make flush_icache_page a noop on alpha.  The
patch below doesn't do this, I'll let the alpha maintainers push that
change if they want.

This patch fixes a compile error on PPC.  It's in sd_find_target, a
function that returns a kdev_t.

  condition, we test the preemption count in preempt_schedule(). This reduces the icache
  footprint and the overhead of preemption.

- plus optimize the irq-path preemption check a bit.

this is a fragile piece of the ptrace code, the code relies on a single wakeup coming from the parent.
This fix is necessery after the preempt_schedule() cleanups, it unbreaks 'strace strace ...'.

fixes a preemption race that was introduced by my removal of PREEMPT_ACTIVE.

- the PREEMPT_ACTIVE trick is not needed

- schedule() should check for need_resched, we might miss a
  reschedule otherwise.

the cleanup also fixes the bug. The only reason why i kept
preempt_schedule() was to fix up p->state to TASK_RUNNING,
to make it possible to preempt from places that mark the
task TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE before adding the task to a waitqueue,
and thus a preemption in that small window could cause the
task to be removed from the runqueue erroneously.

  
this is a patch to prevent usb_set_interface() from erroneously resetting
the toggles for all endpoints instead of only the affected ones from the
requested interface/altsetting. I've also added some missing parentheses
to related macros in usb.h as I prefered not to take special care for
nasty side-effects ;-)
  
Patch below was created against 2.4.18-pre9 (with some lines of offset it
applies to 2.5.4-pre5 as well).
  
Tested in multi-interface configuration to provide evidence it:
* correctly identifies the affected endpoints and resets the toggles
* doesn't touch endpoints from other interfaces
* provides correct handling of shared EP0
* solves an issue I had with 2.4.18-pre9 where setting one interface
  occasionally caused transfers on other interface to hang due to lost
  toggle synchronisation

Despite being a pure bugfix, well localized and (IMHO) pretty obviously
correct wrt. USB-spec, I'd like to suggest including this in early
2.4.19-pre. Just in case some existing driver would somehow workaround
the currently wrong behavior and might break with this fix. And it's
not very urgent right now, as we are probably close to 2.4.18-rc1.
