These two files are basically identical, so make one just include the other (protecting the 32-bit-only parts with __powerpc64__). Also remove some completely unused defines. Signed-off-by:

While installing Debian on our new IBM X41 Tablet, I tried briefly to use the built-in Atmel TPM. The Athmel TPM is also located on the LPC-bus of the ICH6. To make it work I had to apply the following patch: Signed-off-by:

Here's a small warning fix for drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_v110.c drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_v110.c:523: warning: `ret' might be used uninitialized in this function In addition to Karsten Keil signing off on the patch, Thomas Pfeiffer also commented on the patch, saying "initializing ret with the value zero is correct and should be done." Please apply. Signed-off-by:

Based on a patch from Andr Pereira de Almeida <andre@cachola.com.br> It might be possible for the saved pointer (*p) to become invalid in between vc_resizes, so saving the screen offset instead of the screen pointer is saner. This bug is very hard to trigger though, but Andre probably did, if he's submitting this patch. Anyway, with Andre's patch, it's still possible for the offsets to be still illegal, if the new screen size is smaller than the old one. So I've also added checks if the offsets are still within the screenbuffer size. Signed-off-by:

The file `fs/umsdos/notes' contains only a small note about a possible bug involving verify_area(). Since umsdos is no longer in the kernel and verify_area() is also gone, it seems to make sense that this file goes the way of the Dodo. After applying this patch the `fs/umsdos/' directory will be empty and can be removed entirely. Signed-off-by:

This patch cleans up a commonly repeated set of changes to the NTP state variables by adding two helper inline functions: ntp_clear(): Clears the ntp state variables ntp_synced(): Returns 1 if the system is synced with a time server. This was compile tested for alpha, arm, i386, x86-64, ppc64, s390, sparc, sparc64. Signed-off-by:

posix_timer_event() first checks that the thread (SIGEV_THREAD_ID case) does not have PF_EXITING flag, then it calls send_sigqueue() which locks task list. But if the thread exits in between the kernel will oops (->sighand == NULL after __exit_sighand). This patch moves the PF_EXITING check into the send_sigqueue(), it must be done atomically under tasklist_lock. When send_sigqueue() detects exiting thread it returns -1. In that case posix_timer_event will send the signal to thread group. Also, this patch fixes task_struct use-after-free in posix_timer_event. Signed-off-by:

Every time cramfs_lookup() is called to lookup and inode for a dentry, get_cramfs_inode() will allocate a new inode without checking to see if that inode already exists in the inode cache. This is fine the first time, but if the dentry cache entry(ies) associated with that inode are aged out, but the inode entry is not aged out (which can be quite common if the inode has buffer cache linked to it), cramfs_lookup() will be called again and another inode will be allocated and added to the inode cache creating a duplicate in the inode cache. The big issue here is that the buffers associated with each inode cache entry are not shared between the duplicates! The older inode entries are now orphaned as no dentry points to it and won't be freed until the buffer cache assoicated with them are first freed. The newest entry will have to create all new buffer cache for each part of its file as the old buffer cache is now orphaned as well. Patch below fixes this by making get_cramfs_inode() use the inode cache before blindly creating a new entry every time. This eliminates the duplicate inodes and duplicate buffer cache.

The patch removes a redundant variable `sig' from sys_prctl(). For some reason, when sys_prctl is called with option == PR_SET_PDEATHSIG then the value of arg2 is assigned to an int variable named sig. Then sig is tested with valid_signal() and later used to set the value of current->pdeath_signal . There is no reason to use this intermediate variable since valid_signal() takes a unsigned long argument, so it can handle being passed arg2 directly, and if the call to valid_signal is OK, then we know the value of arg2 is in the range zero to _NSIG and thus it'll easily fit in a plain int and thus there's no problem assigning it later to current->pdeath_signal (which is an int). The patch gets rid of the pointless variable `sig'. This reduces the size of kernel/sys.o in 2.6.13-rc6-mm1 by 32 bytes on my system. Patch has been compile tested, boot tested, and just to make damn sure I didn't break anything I wrote a quick test app that calls prctl(PR_SET_PDEATHSIG ...) with the entire range of values for a unsigned long, and it behaves as expected with and without the patch.

There is a problem in the accounting subsystem in the kernel can not correctly handle files larger than 2GB. The output file containing the process accounting data can grow very large if the system is large enough and active enough. If the 2GB limit is reached, then the system simply stops storing process accounting data. Another annoying problem is that once the system reaches this 2GB limit, then every process which exits will receive a signal, SIGXFSZ. This signal is generated because an attempt was made to write beyond the limit for the file descriptor. This signal makes it look like every process has exited due to a signal, when in fact, they have not. The solution is to add the O_LARGEFILE flag to the list of flags used to open the accounting file. The rest of the accounting support is already largefile safe. The changes were tested by constructing a large file (just short of 2GB), enabling accounting, and then running enough commands to cause the accounting data generated to increase the size of the file to 2GB. Without the changes, the file grows to 2GB and the last command run in the test script appears to exit due a signal when it has not. With the changes, things work as expected and quietly. There are some user level changes required so that it can deal with largefiles, but those are being handled separately. Signed-off-by:

This patch simplifies the usage of do_notify_parent_cldstop(), it lessens the source and .text size slightly, and makes the code (in my opinion) a bit more readable. I am sending this patch now because I'm afraid Paul will touch do_notify_parent_cldstop() really soon, It's better to cleanup first. Signed-off-by:

I've had WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED warnings when calling TIOCLINUX TIOCL_BLANKSCREEN and TIOCL_UNBLANKSCREEN. (I'm blind and I use a braille display. I use those functions to blank my laptop's screen so people don't read it, and hopefully to conserve power.) The warnings are from these places: do_blank_screen at drivers/char/vt.c:2754 (Not tainted) save_screen at drivers/char/vt.c:575 (Not tainted) do_unblank_screen at drivers/char/vt.c:2822 (Not tainted) set_palette at drivers/char/vt.c:2908 (Not tainted) At a glance I would think the following patch ought to fix that. Tested on one machine. Could you please tell me if this is correct and/or forward the patch where appropriate... Signed-off-by:

The i386 OProfile code has a function named nmi_exit(), which collides with the nmi_exit() macro in linux/hardirq.h. At the moment, we get away with it, because hardirq.h isn't included in the oprofile code. I hit this as a bug when working with a patch which (indirectly) adds a #include of hardirq.h to oprofile. Regardless, the name collision is probably not a good idea, so this patch fixes it, renaming the oprofile function to op_nmi_exit(). It also renames the nmi_init() and nmi_timer_init() functions similarly, for consistency. Signed-off-by:

IRQ_PER_CPU is not used by all architectures. This patch introduces the macros ARCH_HAS_IRQ_PER_CPU and CHECK_IRQ_PER_CPU() to avoid the generation of dead code in __do_IRQ(). ARCH_HAS_IRQ_PER_CPU is defined by architectures using IRQ_PER_CPU in their include/asm_ARCH/irq.h file. Through grepping the tree I found the following architectures currently use IRQ_PER_CPU: cris, ia64, ppc, ppc64 and parisc. Signed-off-by:Karsten Wiese <annabellesgarden@yahoo.de> Acked-by:
