Improve the smbus-protocol documentation file somewhat: - Use the names of the SMBus protocol operations (from the 2.0 specification), not made-up-for-Linux names. - Add the name of the call used to execute each operation ... and point out that there are mismatches, where functions execute different protocol operations than their names specify. The most confusing examples are that "Read Byte" isn't executed by i2c_smbus_read_byte(), and that "Write Byte" isn't executed by i2c_smbus_write_byte(). When coding, that's not as bad as it may seem; but that case would seem to be worth fixing.

We had a report that running sensors-detect on a Sapphire AM2RD790 motherbord killed the CPU. While the exact cause is still unknown, I'd rather play it safe and prevent any access to the SMBus on that machine by not letting the i2c-piix4 driver attach to the SMBus host device on that machine. Also blacklist a similar board made by DFI. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

Per the PIIX4 errata, there maybe a delay between setting the start bit in the Smbus Host Controller Register and the transaction actually starting. If the driver doesn't delay long enough, it may appear that the transaction is complete when actually it hasn't started, this may lead to bus collisions. While 1 ms appears to be enough for most chips, the ServerWorks CSB5 wants 2 ms. Signed-off-by: David Milburn <dmilburn@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

So, forever, we've had this ptrace_signal_deliver implementation which tries to handle all of the nasties that can occur when the debugger looks at a process about to take a signal. It's meant to address all of these issues inside of the kernel so that the debugger need not be mindful of such things. Problem is, this doesn't work. The idea was that we should do the syscall restart business first, so that the debugger captures that state. Otherwise, if the debugger for example saves the child's state, makes the child execute something else, then restores the saved state, we won't handle the syscall restart properly because we lose the "we're in a syscall" state. The code here worked for most cases, but if the debugger actually passes the signal through to the child unaltered, it's possible that we would do a syscall restart when we shouldn't have. In particular this breaks the case of debugging a process under a gdb which is being debugged by yet another gdb. gdb uses sigsuspend to wait for SIGCHLD of the inferior, but if gdb itself is being debugged by a top-level gdb we get a ptrace_stop(). The top-level gdb does a PTRACE_CONT with SIGCHLD to let the inferior gdb see the signal. But ptrace_signal_deliver() assumed the debugger would cancel out the signal and therefore did a syscall restart, because the return error was ERESTARTNOHAND. Fix this by simply making ptrace_signal_deliver() a nop, and providing a way for the debugger to control system call restarting properly: 1) Report a "in syscall" software bit in regs->{tstate,psr}. It is set early on in trap entry to a system call and is fully visible to the debugger via ptrace() and regsets. 2) Test this bit right before doing a syscall restart. We have to do a final recheck right after get_signal_to_deliver() in case the debugger cleared the bit during ptrace_stop(). 3) Clear the bit in trap return so we don't accidently try to set that bit in the real register. As a result we also get a ptrace_{is,clear}_syscall() for sparc32 just like sparc64 has. M68K has this same exact bug, and is now the only other user of the ptrace_signal_deliver hook. It needs to be fixed in the same exact way as sparc. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Forever we had a PTRACE_SUNOS_DETACH which was unconditionally recognized, regardless of the personality of the process. Unfortunately, this value is what ended up in the GLIBC sys/ptrace.h header file on sparc as PTRACE_DETACH and PT_DETACH. So continue to recognize this old value. Luckily, it doesn't conflict with anything we actually care about. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The generic semaphore rewrite had a huge performance regression on AIM7 (and potentially other BKL-heavy benchmarks) because the generic semaphores had been rewritten to be simple to understand and fair. The latter, in particular, turns a semaphore-based BKL implementation into a mess of scheduling. The attempt to fix the performance regression failed miserably (see the previous commit 00b41ec2 'Revert "semaphore: fix"'), and so for now the simple and sane approach is to instead just go back to the old spinlock-based BKL implementation that never had any issues like this. This patch also has the advantage of being reported to fix the regression completely according to Yanmin Zhang, unlike the semaphore hack which still left a couple percentage point regression. As a spinlock, the BKL obviously has the potential to be a latency issue, but it's not really any different from any other spinlock in that respect. We do want to get rid of the BKL asap, but that has been the plan for several years. These days, the biggest users are in the tty layer (open/release in particular) and Alan holds out some hope: "tty release is probably a few months away from getting cured - I'm afraid it will almost certainly be the very last user of the BKL in tty to get fixed as it depends on everything else being sanely locked." so while we're not there yet, we do have a plan of action.

This reverts commit bf726eab, as it has been reported to cause a regression with processes stuck in __down(), apparently because some missing wakeup. Quoth Sven Wegener: "I'm currently investigating a regression that has showed up with my last git pull yesterday. Bisecting the commits showed bf726e "semaphore: fix" to be the culprit, reverting it fixed the issue. Symptoms: During heavy filesystem usage (e.g. a kernel compile) I get several compiler processes in uninterruptible sleep, blocking all i/o on the filesystem. System is an Intel Core 2 Quad running a 64bit kernel and userspace. Filesystem is xfs on top of lvm. See below for the output of sysrq-w." See http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/10/45 for full report. In the meantime, we can just fix the BKL performance regression by reverting back to the good old BKL spinlock implementation instead, since any sleeping lock will generally perform badly, especially if it tries to be fair.

System topology on intel based system needs to be exported for non-numa case as well. All parts of asm-i386/topology.h has come under #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA after the merge to asm-x86/topology.h /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/topology/* is populated based on ENABLE_TOPO_DEFINES The sysfs cpu topology is not being populated on my dual socket dual core xeon 5160 processor based (x86 32 bit) system. CONFIG_NUMA is not set in my case yet the topology is relevant and useful. irqbalance daemon application depends on topology to build the cpus and package list and it fails on Fedora9 beta since the sysfs topology was not being populated in the 2.6.25 kernel. I am not sure if it was intentional to not define ENABLE_TOPO_DEFINES for non-numa systems. This fix has been tested on the above mentioned dual core, dual socket system.

709f744f causes my computer to freeze during the start up of X and my login manger (GDM). It gets to the point where it has shown the default X mouse cursor logo (a big X / cross) and does not respond to anything from that point on. This worked fine before 709f744f, and it works fine with 709f744f reverted on top of Linus' current tree (f74d505b). The revert had conflicts, as far as I can tell due to white space changes.

On some of our (single board computer) boards (x86) we are using an IPMI controller that uses I/O ports 0x62 and 0x66 for a KCS (keyboard controller style) IPMI system interface. Trying to load the openipmi driver fails, because the ports (0x62/0x66) are reserved for keyboard. keyboard reserves the full range 0x60-0x6F while it doesn't need to. Reserve only ports 0x60 and 0x64 for the legacy PS/2 i8042 keyboad controller instead of 0x60-0x6F to allow the openipmi driver to work.

Linus found a logic bug: we ignore the version number in a module's vermagic string if we have CONFIG_MODVERSIONS set, but modversions also lets through a module with no __versions section for modprobe --force (with tainting, but still). We should only ignore the start of the vermagic string if the module actually *has* crcs to check. Rather than (say) having an entertaining hissy fit and creating a config option to work around the buggy code.

Don't allow a module built without versions altogether to be inserted into a kernel which expects modversions. modprobe --force will strip vermagic as well as modversions, so it won't be effected, but this will make sure that a non-CONFIG_MODVERSIONS module won't be accidentally inserted into a CONFIG_MODVERSIONS kernel.
