From Dominik Brodowski. - separate functions which might be useful for speedstep-piix4, speedstep-via or speedstep-bios into a new speedstep-lib.c. - clean up speedstep-ich as it will only be used for ICH-based chipsets in future. - remove now-obsolete speedstep_coppermine parameter

From: Jan Dittmer <j.dittmer@portrix.net> This adds an export for flush_tlb_all to i386_ksyms.c. The drm modules miss this, when compiling for SMP. I changed Jan's patch to use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

We need to unconditionally brelse() the buffer in there, because journal_remove_journal_head() leaves a ref behind. release_buffer_page() does that. Call it all the time because we can usually strip the buffers and free the page even if it was not marked buffer_freed(). Mainly affects data=journal mode

ext3_block_truncate_page() is calling grab_cache_page() inside a JBD transaction. This is wrong, because transactions nest inside lock_page(). The deadlock is against shrink_list->ext3_journalled_writepage->journal_start. This was not noticed before because we never used to journal writepage() data in journalled-data mode. And because the deadlock against generic_file_write() is covered up by i_sem. Rework things so that we lock the page prior to starting a transaction.

From: David Mosberger <davidm@napali.hpl.hp.com> compat_sys_old_getrlimit() depends on sys_old_getrlimit() and the patch below updates the guarding #ifdef accordingly.

From: Andrew Theurer <habanero@us.ibm.com> This patch ensures that when node loads are compared, the load value is normalised. Without this, load balance across nodes of dissimilar cpu counts can cause unfairness and sometimes lower overall performance. For example, a 2 node system with 4 cpus in the first node and 2 cpus in the second. A workload with 6 running tasks would have 3 tasks running on one node and 3 on the other, leaving one cpu idle in the first node and two tasks sharing a cpu in the second node. The patch would ensure that 4 tasks run in the first node and 2 in the second. I ran some kernel compiles comparing this patch on a 2 node 4 cpu/2 cpu system to show the benefits. Without the patch I got 140 second elapsed time. With the patch I get 132 seconds (6% better). Although it is not very common to have nodes with dissimilar cpu counts, it is already happening. PPC64 systems with partitioning have this happen, and I expect it to be more common on ia32 as partitioning becomes more common.

From: Zwane Mwaikambo <zwane@linuxpower.ca> smbfs tends to oops over a null server->ops->getattr in smb_proc_getattr(). Urban says: In 2.5 the server->ops is initialized when smbfs gets a connection, to match whatever the server is capable of or not. This happens after the mount syscall so smbfs is then mounted but not usable. Not sure if smb_lookup is always called before any other operation that uses server->ops. If it is then it would be enough to have a test there. Otherwise I will just change all users of server->ops to verify the pointer first and return -EIO or something. Al Viro says (paraphrasing) ugh, we need mount2(). It doesn't look to me like we'll be getting mount2() in the 2.6 timeframe. Zwane's patch implement's Urban's workaround.

From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com> - hpfs_unlink() can race with lockless d_lookup(), as we can have situations where d_lookup() has successfully looked-up a dentry and at the sametime hpfs_unlink()--->d_drop() has dropped it. Taking the per dentry lock before checking the d_count in hpfs_unlink() solves this race condition.

From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com> - nfs_unlink() can race with lockless d_lookup() as d_lookup() can successfully lookup a dentry for which nfs_unlink() can assume that no one else is using and can go ahead and do nfs_safe_remove() on it. By using per dentry lock, it is solved as we d_lookup() will fail the lookup for unhashed dentries.

From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com> - d_invalidate() can incorrectly return success instead of returning -EBUSY as we can have situations where lockless d_lookup has found a dentry successfully before d_invalidate drops it

From: Ingo Molnar Apparently our thread-creation performance has gone down the tubes again, because the mm.free_area_cache search heuristic broke. The initial, more naive hole-cache patch helped the testcode in the beginning. Then after some point glibc started creating a 'small hole' in the vmas, which hole was _below_ the thread stacks, and which hole thus prevented the intended operation of the cache. The new code solves the problem by relaxing the 'smallest address hole cache' rule a bit, the cache is now not re-set at every get_unmapped_area() time, it's only re-set during unmaps. It's also re-set if there are no allocatable mappings at all - ie. correctness is not affected.

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil> This patch adds an AT_SECURE auxv entry to pass a boolean flag indicating whether "secure mode" should be enabled (i.e. sanitize the environment, initial descriptors, etc) and allows each security module to specify the flag value via a new hook. New userland can then simply obey this flag when present rather than applying other methods of deciding (sample patch for glibc-2.3.2 can be found at http://www.cs.utah.edu/~sds/glibc-secureexec.patch). This change enables security modules like SELinux to request secure mode upon changes to other security attributes (e.g. capabilities, roles/domains, etc) in addition to uid/gid changes or even to completely override the legacy logic. The legacy decision algorithm is preserved in the default hook functions for the dummy and capability security modules. Credit for the idea of adding an AT_SECURE auxv entry goes to Roland McGrath.

- unused var warning in pnp_add_irq_resource() - unused var in fd_mcs.c (Adrian Bunk) - remove dead code in i810_main.c (a u8 cannot exceed 255) (Adrian Bunk) - don't truncate dma_addr_t's in gdth.c (Jes Sorensen) - vgastate.c needs vmalloc.h (Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>) - revert bogus test from rd_open() - it was a 2.4 forward-port, and 2.5 doesn't need it. (The gendisks aren't registered, we cannot get there anyway).

From: Robert Love <rml@tech9.net> Basically, the problem is that setscheduler() does not set need_resched when needed. There are two basic cases where this is needed: - the task is running, but now it is no longer the highest priority task on the rq - the task is not running, but now it is the highest priority task on the rq In either case, we need to set need_resched to invoke the scheduler.

sysrq-T currently displays the same stack trace for every process. Teach show_stack() to look in the passed task_struct first if the caller did not pass in a stack address.

From: Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@csd.uu.se> 2.5.73 removed the workaround needed to prevent gcc-2.95.x from miscompiling spinlocks on UP. It turns out that some versions of gcc-2.95 still do have problems with empty structs, so re-introduce the workaround.
