ibmveth_printk() is only used to print the driver version when the module initializes, which means on all machines as long as it's compiled in. If it's really only needed for debugging, boot with loglevel=8, or get it from dmesg instead. Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Cleanup patch which removes the io_page_mask. It fixes the reset on some e1000 devices which is needed for clean kexec reboots. The legacy devices which broke with this patch (parallel port and PC speaker) have now been fixed in Linus' tree.

In some crash scenarios, the kexec CPU is not responding to an IPI sent by secondary CPU after init thread is forked, causing the system to drop into xmon during kdump boot. This problem can be reproduced each time when the debugger is enabled and soft-reset is used to invoke kdump boot. The first CPU sends an IPI - setting the IPI priority for all secondary cpus (xics_cause_ipi()). But some CPUs will enter into the xmon via soft-reset, i.e, not executing xics_ipi_action(). Hence, IPI is not cleared. When exited from the debugger, one of these CPUs could become the primary kexec CPU. Since the IPI is not cleared, causing this issue in kdump boot. This patch clears and EOI IPI for kexec CPU as well before the kdump boot started. Signed-off-by: Haren Myneni <haren@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

We've seen several bugs caused by interrupt weirdness in the kdump kernel. Panicking from an interrupt handler means we fail to EOI the interrupt, and so the second kernel never gets that interrupt ever again. We also see hangs on JS20 where we take interrupts in the second kernel early during boot. This patch fixes both those problems, and although it adds more code to the crash path I think it is the best solution.

Every time a new syscall gets added, a BUILD_BUG_ON in arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spu_callbacks.c gets triggered. Since the addition of a new syscall is rather harmless, the error should just be removed.

The new i2c implementation for PowerMac has a regression that causes the hardware to go out of state when probing non-existent devices. While fixing that, I also found & fixed a couple of other corner cases. This fixes booting with a pbbuttons version that scans the i2c bus for an LMU controller among others. Tested on a dual G5 with thermal control (which has heavy i2c activity) with no problem so far.

Turn on the DART already at 1GB. This is needed because of crippled devices in some systems, i.e. Airport Extreme cards, only supporting 30-bit DMA addresses. Otherwise, users with between 1 and 2GB of memory will need to manually enable it with iommu=force, and that's no good. Some simple performance tests show that there's a slight impact of enabling DART, but it's in the 1-3% range (kernel build with disk I/O as well as over NFS). iommu=off can still be used for those who don't want to deal with the overhead (and don't need it for any devices).

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and possibly buggy. We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the future. This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek The irq2gpio array was recently converted from an array of ints to an array of chars (by patch 3368/1.) However, this array contains elements that are -1, and on ARM, the char type is unsigned by default, so this patch broke the GPIO check in ixp4xx_set_irq_type. Change the 'char' to be a 'signed char' to fix this.

AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE when an exception is pending. This means the value leak through context switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction state of other processes. This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as being different from Intel before. The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally calling FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip it when not needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to clear FOP/FIP/FDP. This means other processes always will only see a constant value defined by the kernel in their FP state. I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already in L1 during context switch to make the overhead of this low. Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs who don't need it. Patch for both i386/x86-64. The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard Brunner provided the basic code for the workarounds, with contribution from Jan.

This fixes a hang in mpu401_uart.c that can occur when the mpu401 interface is non-existent or otherwise doesn't respond to commands but we issue IO anyway. snd_mpu401_uart_cmd now returns an error code that is passed up the stack so that an open() will fail immediately in such cases. Eventually discovered after wine/cxoffice would constantly cause hard lockups on my desktop immediately after loading (emulating Windows too well). Turned out that I'd recently moved my sound cards around and using /dev/sequencer now talks to a sound card with a broken MPU. This second version changes -EFAULT to -EIO and frees open resources on error too. Test booted and seems to work ok.

Fix for bug #6395: Fail to resume on Tecra M2 with ADM1032 and Intel 82801DBM The BIOS of the Tecra M2 doesn't like it when it has to reboot or resume after the i2c-i801 driver has left the SMBus in PEC mode. The most simple fix is to clear the PEC bit after after every transaction. That's what this driver was doing up to 2.6.15 (inclusive). Thanks to Daniele Gaffuri for the very good report.

On the MSI-K8T-NEO2 FIR ( Athlon-64, Socket 939 with VIA-K8T800- Chipset and onboard Sound,... ) the BIOS lets you choose "DISABLED" or "AUTO" for the On-Board Sound Device. If you add another PCI-Sound-Card the BIOS disables the on-board device. So far I have a Quirk, that does set the correspondent BIT in the PCI-registers to enable the soundcard. But how to ensure that the code is executed ONLY on excactly this kind of boards (not any other with similar Chipset)?
