The same definitions are used for the bounds logic and the asm-offsets.h generation by kbuild. Put them into include/linux/kbuild.h file. Also add a new feature COMMENT("text") which can be used to insert lines of ocmments into asm-offsets.h and bounds.h.

Use vmalloc() and memset() instead of kcalloc() to allocate a page* array when the array size is bigger than one page. This enables relayfs to support bigger relay buffers than 64MB on 4k-page system, 512MB on 16k-page system.

Create a linux/unaligned directory similar in spirit to the linux/byteorder folder to hold generic implementations collected from various arches. Currently there are five implementations: 1) packed_struct.h: C-struct based, from asm-generic/unaligned.h 2) le_byteshift.h: Open coded byte-swapping, heavily based on asm-arm 3) be_byteshift.h: Open coded byte-swapping, heavily based on asm-arm 4) memmove.h: taken from multiple implementations in tree 5) access_ok.h: taken from x86 and others, unaligned access is ok. All of the new implementations checks for sizes not equal to 1,2,4,8 and will fail to link. API additions: get_unaligned_{le16|le32|le64|be16|be32|be64}(p) which is meant to replace code of the form: le16_to_cpu(get_unaligned((__le16 *)p)); put_unaligned_{le16|le32|le64|be16|be32|be64}(val, pointer) which is meant to replace code of the form: put_unaligned(cpu_to_le16(val), (__le16 *)p); The headers that arches should include from their asm/unaligned.h: access_ok.h : Wrappers of the byteswapping functions in asm/byteorder Choose a particular implementation for little-endian access: le_byteshift.h le_memmove.h (arch must be LE) le_struct.h (arch must be LE) Choose a particular implementation for big-endian access: be_byteshift.h be_memmove.h (arch must be BE) be_struct.h (arch must be BE) After including as needed from the above, include unaligned/generic.h and define your arch's get/put_unaligned as (for LE): Signed-off-by: Harvey Harrison <harvey.harrison@gmail.com> Cc: <linux-arch@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

There is no "PNPACPI" driver interface as such. PNPACPI is an internal backend of PNP, and drivers just use the generic PNP interface. The drivers should depend on CONFIG_PNP, not CONFIG_PNPACPI. tpm_nsc.c doesn't use PNP at all, so we can just remove the dependency completely. It probably *should* use PNP to discover the device, but until it does, there's no point in depending on PNP.

Peter Tyser authored
Add a module parameter "sysbus_parity" to allow forcing system bus parity error checking on or off. Also add support to automatically disable system bus parity errors for processors which do not support it. If the sysbus_parity parameter is specified, sysbus parity detection will be forced on or off. If it is not specified, the driver will attempt to look at the CPU identifier string and determine if the CPU supports system bus parity. A blacklist was used instead of a whitelist so that system bus parity would be enabled by default and to minimize the chances of breaking things for those people already using the driver which for some reason have a processor that does not have a valid CPU identifier string.

Switch add_entropy_words to a byte-oriented interface, eliminating numerous casts and byte/word size rounding issues. This also reduces the overall bit/byte/word confusion in this code. We now mix a byte at a time into the word-based pool. This takes four times as many iterations, but should be negligible compared to hashing overhead. This also increases our pool churn, which adds some depth against some theoretical failure modes. The function name is changed to emphasize pool mixing and deemphasize entropy (the samples mixed in may not contain any). extract is added to the core function to make it clear that it extracts from the pool.
