I am slowly moving to a model where all process killing is struct pid based instead of pid_t based. The sunos compatibility code is one of the last users of the old pid_t based kill_pg in the kernel. By being complete I allow for the future removal of kill_pg from the kernel, which will ensure I don't miss something. Signed-off-by:

commit 24ec839c while fixing the locking for signal->tty got the locking wrong for signal->session. This places our accesses of signal->session back under the tasklist_lock where they belong. Signed-off-by:

The code to look at tty_old_pgrp and send SIGHUP and SIGCONT when it is present only executes when disassociate_ctty is called from do_exit. Make this clear by adding an explict on_exit check, and explicitly setting tty_old_pgrp to 0. In addition fix the locking by reading tty_old_pgrp under the siglock. Signed-off-by:

The aim of this patch set is to start wrapping up the struct pid conversions. As such this patchset culminates with the removal of kill_pg, kill_pg_info, __kill_pg_info, do_each_task_pid, and while_each_task_pid. kill_proc, daemonize, and kernel_thread are still in my sights but there is still work to get to them. The first three are basic cleanups around disassociate_ctty, while working on converting it I found several issues. tty_old_pgrp can be a tricky concept to wrap your head around. 1 tty: Make __proc_set_tty static. 2 tty: Clarify disassociate_ctty 3 tty: Fix the locking for signal->session in disassociate_ctty These just stop using the old helper functions. 4 signal: Use kill_pgrp not kill_pg in the sunos compatibility code. 5 signal: Rewrite kill_something_info so it uses newer helpers. Then the grind to convert the tty layer and all of it's helper functions to struct pid. 6 pid: Make session_of_pgrp use struct pid instead of pid_t. 7 pid: Use struct pid for talking about process groups in exit.c 8 pid: Replace is_orphaned_pgrp with is_current_pgrp_orphaned 9 tty: Update the tty layer to work with struct pid. A final helper function update. 10 pid: Replace do/while_each_task_pid with do/while_each_pid_task And the removal of the functions that are now unused. 11 pid: Remove now unused do_each_task_pid and while_each_task_pid 12 pid: Remove the now unused kill_pg kill_pg_info and __kill_pg_info All of these should be fairly simple and to the point. This patch: Currently all users of __proc_set_tty are in tty_io.c so make the function static. Signed-off-by:

This morning I needed to read a Minix V3 filesystem, but unfortunately my 2.6.19 did not support that, and neither did the downloaded 2.6.20rc4. Fortunately, google told me that Daniel Aragones had already done the work, patch found at http://www.terra.es/personal2/danarag/ Unfortunaly, looking at the patch was painful to my eyes, so I polished it a bit before applying. The resulting kernel boots, and reads the filesystem it needed to read. Signed-off-by:

This is adds a simple SPI EEPROM driver, providing access to the EEPROM through sysfs much like the I2C "eeprom" driver ... except this driver supports write access, and multiple EEPROM sizes. From: "Tuppa, Walter" <walter.tuppa@siemens.com> Since I have EEPROMs on SPI with different address sizing, I made some changes to your at25.c to support them. Works perfectly. (Also includes a small bugfix for the "what size address" test.) Signed-off-by:

This adds a new "wakealarm" sysfs attribute to RTC class devices which support alarm operations and are wakeup-capable: - It reads as either empty, or the scheduled alarm time as seconds since the POSIX epoch. (That time may already have passed, since nothing currently enforces one-shot alarm semantics.) - It can be written with an alarm time in the future, again seconds since the POSIX epoch, which enables the alarm. - It can be written with an alarm time not in the future (such as 0, the start of the POSIX epoch) to disable the alarm. Usage examples (some need GNU date) after "cd /sys/class/rtc/rtcN": alarm after 10 minutes: # echo $(( $(cat since_epoch) + 10 * 60 )) > wakealarm alarm tuesday evening 10pm: # date -d '10pm tuesday' "+%s" > wakealarm disable alarm: # echo 0 > wakealarm This resembles the /proc/acpi/alarm file in that nothing happens when the alarm triggers ... except possibly waking the system from sleep. It's also like that in a nasty way: not much can be done to prevent one task from clobbering another task's alarm settings. It differs from that file in that there's no in-kernel date parser. Note that a few RTCs ignore rtc_wkalrm.enabled when setting alarms, or aren't set up correctly, so they won't yet behave with this attribute.

This clarifies some aspects of the SPI programming interface, based on feedback from Hans-Peter Nilsson. The in-memory representation of words is right-aligned, so for example a twelve bit word is stored using sixteen bits with four undefined bits in the MSB. And controller drivers must reject protocol tweaking modes they do not support. Signed-off-by:

I'd like to assign NULL to kfree()d members of a structure. I can't do that without ugly casting (see the PXA patch) when the structure pointed to is const-qualified. I don't really see a reason why the cleanup method isn't allowed to alter the object it should clean up. :-) No, I didn't test the PXA patch, but I verified that the NULL-assignment doesn't stop me from doing rmmod/insmodding my own spi_bitbang-based driver.

A small bug-fix for spi_bitbang: it must always call the setup_transfer function via the overridable pointer, not assume that its spi_bitbang_setup_transfer is sufficient. Otherwise, if all options in the transfers are default (0), the overrided function will never be called. Granted, the function replacing it must call spi_bitbang_setup_transfer, but it might also have other important things to do, even if the second argument (the spi_transfer) is NULL. Tested together with the other patches on the spi_crisv32_sser and spi_crisv32_gpio drivers (not yet in the kernel, will IIUC be submitted as part of the usual arch-maintainer-pushes). Signed-off-by:

This patch replace patch-2.6.20-rc4-spi_imx with the following changes: > Few cosmetic changes. > Function map_dma_buffers now return 0 for success and -1 for failure. > Solved a bug inside spi_imx_probe function (wrong error path). > Solved a bug inside setup function (bad undo setup for max_speed_hz). > For read-only transfers, always write zero bytes. This is almost the same as the 'BIS' version sent by Andrea, except for updating the 'DUMMY' byte so that read-only transfers shift out zeroes. That part of the API changed recently, since some half duplex peripheral chips require that semantic. Signed-off-by:

This adds a SPI driver for the Microwire controller on OMAP1 chips. This driver has been used in the Linux-OMAP tree for some time now, including with some of those displays using standardized 9-bit commands followed by data with 8-bit words. Microwire only supports half duplex transfers, but that's all that most SPI protocols need. When full duplex, or higher speeds, are needed there are several other controllers that can be used on OMAP. [akpm@osdl.org: cleanups] Signed-off-by:

oprofile hunting showed a stall in rw_verify_area(), because of triple indirection and potential cache misses. (file->f_path.dentry->d_inode->i_flock) By moving initialization of 'struct inode' pointer before the pos/count sanity tests, we allow the compiler and processor to perform two loads by anticipation, reducing stall, without prefetch() hints. Even x86 arch has enough registers to not use temporary variables and not increase text size. I validated this patch running a bench and studied oprofile changes, and absolute perf of the test program. Results of my epoll_pipe_bench (source available on request) on a Pentium-M 1.6 GHz machine Before : # ./epoll_pipe_bench -l 30 -t 20 Avg: 436089 evts/sec read_count=8843037 write_count=8843040 21.218390 samples per call (best value out of 10 runs) After : # ./epoll_pipe_bench -l 30 -t 20 Avg: 470980 evts/sec read_count=9549871 write_count=9549894 21.216694 samples per call (best value out of 10 runs) oprofile CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events gave a reduction from 5.3401 % to 2.5851 % for the rw_verify_area() function.

The problem we were assuming that current->nsproxy->ipc_ns would never change while someone has our file in /proc/sysvipc/ file open. Given that this can change with both unshare and by passing the file descriptor to another process that assumption is occasionally wrong. Therefore this patch causes /proc/sysvipc/* to cache the namespace and increment it's count when we open the file and to decrement the count when we close the file, ensuring consistent operation with no surprises.

The problem is various drivers legally validly and sensibly try to claim IRQs but the kernel insists on vomiting forth a giant irrelevant debugging spew when the types clash. Edit kernel/irq/manage.c go down to mismatch: in setup_irq() and ifdef out the if clause that checks for mismatches. It'll then just do the right thing and work sanely. For the current -mm kernel this will do the trick (and moves it into shared irq debugging as in debug mode the info spew is useful). I've had a variant of this in my private tree for some time as I got fed up on the mess on boxes where old legacy IRQs get reused. Signed-off-by:
