The commit (in linux-tip) c2931e05 ( ftrace: return an error when setting a nonexistent tracer ) added useful code that would error when a bad tracer was written into the current_tracer file. But this had a bug if the amount written was more than the amount read by that code. The first iteration would set the tracer correctly, but since it did not consume the rest of what was written (usually whitespace), the userspace utility would continue to write what was not consumed. This second iteration would fail to find a tracer and return -EINVAL. Funny thing is that the tracer would have already been set. This patch just consumes all the data that is written to the file.

Impact: build fix on Alpha When tracing is enabled, some arch have included <linux/irqflags.h> on their <asm/system.h> but others like alpha or m68k don't.

Impact: avoid section mismatch warning, clean up The dynamic ftrace determines which nop is safe to use at start up. When it finds a safe nop for patching, it sets a pointer called ftrace_nop to point to the code. All call sites are then patched to this nop. Later, when tracing is turned on, this ftrace_nop variable is again used to compare the location to make sure it is a nop before we update it to an mcount call. If this fails just once, a warning is printed and ftrace is disabled. Rakib Mullick noted that the code that sets up the nop is a .init section where as the nop itself is in the .text section. This is needed because the nop is used later on after boot up. The problem is that the test of the nop jumps back to the setup code and causes a "section mismatch" warning. Rakib first recommended to convert the nop to .init.text, but as stated above, this would fail since that text is used later. The real solution is to extend Rabik's patch, and to make the ftrace_nop into an array, and just save the code from the assembly to this array. Now the section can stay as an init section, and we have a nop to use later on.

In commit f337b9c5 ("epoll: drop unnecessary test") Thomas found that there is an unnecessary (always true) test in ep_send_events(). The callback never inserts into ->rdllink while the send loop is performed, and also does the ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS test. Given we're holding the mutex during this time, the conditions tested inside the loop are always true. HOWEVER. The test "!ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink)" wasn't there because we insert into ->rdllink, but because the send-events loop might terminate before the whole list is scanned (-EFAULT). In such cases, when the loop terminates early, and when a (leftover) file received an event while we're performing the lockless loop, we need such test to avoid to double insert the epoll items. The list_splice() done a few steps below, will correctly re-insert the ones that were left on "txlist". This should fix the kenrel.org bugzilla entry 11831.

Some userland apps seem to pass in a "0" for the seconds, and several seconds worth of usecs to select(). The old kernels accepted this just fine, so the new kernels must too. However, due to the upscaling of the microseconds to nanoseconds we had some cases where we got math overflow, and depending on the GCC version (due to inlining decisions) that actually resulted in an -EINVAL return. This patch fixes this by adding the excess microseconds to the seconds field. Also with thanks to Marcin Slusarz for spotting some implementation bugs in the diagnostics patches.

The default for the regulatory compatibility option is wrong; if you picked the default you ended up with a non-functional wifi system (at least I did on Fedora 9 with iwl4965). I don't think even the October 2008 releases of the various distros has the new userland so clearly the default is wrong, and also we can't just go about deleting this in 2.6.29... Change the default to "y" and also adjust the config text a little to reflect this.

This reverts commit 7bf6bf48. The code has both a short existence and an increasing track of failures despite some work to amend it for -rc1. It is not just a matter of reading the eeprom: sometimes the eeprom is read correctly, then the mac address is not written correctly back into the mac registers. Some chipsets seem to work reliably but it is not clear at this point if the code can simply be made to work on a per-chipset basis and post -rc1 is not the place where I want to experiment these things.

If you use KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG (even with empty file) you get broken allmodconfig/allyesconfig; CONFIG_MODULES gets turned off, with obvious massive fallout. Breakage had been introduced when conf_set_all_new_symbols() got used for allmodconfig et.al. What happens is that sym_calc_value(modules_sym) done in conf_read_simple() sets SYMBOL_VALID on both modules_sym and MODULES. When we get to conf_set_all_new_symbols(), we set sym->def[S_DEF_USER] on everything, but it has no effect on sym->curr for the symbols that already have SYMBOL_VALID - these are stuck. Solution: use sym_clear_all_valid() in there. Note that it makes reevaluation of modules_sym redundant - sym_clear_all_valid() will do that itself.

As the probable result of zealous copy/pasting, many supported boards contain sensor names with trailing whitespace. Though this is not a huge problem, it is inconsistent with other sensor names, and with other similar hwmon drivers. Additionally, the DMI nag message added in 2.6.27 was missing a space between two sentence fragments -- might as well clean that up too. Doesn't alter any kernel text, just data.

The LM99 differs from the LM86, LM89 and LM90 in that it reports remote temperatures (temp2) 16 degrees lower than they really are.

There are several problems in the way the hysteresis value is handled by the lm90 driver: * In show_temphyst(), specific handling of the MAX6646 is missing, so the hysteresis is reported incorrectly if the critical temperature is over 127 degrees C. * In set_temphyst(), the new hysteresis register value is written to the chip but data->temp_hyst isn't updated accordingly, so there is a short period of time (up to 2 seconds) where the old hystereris value will be returned while the new one is already active. * In set_temphyst(), the critical temperature which is used as a base to compute the value of the hysteresis register lacks device-specific handling. As a result, the value of the hysteresis register might be incorrect for the ADT7461 and MAX6646 chips. Fix these 3 bugs.

This reverts commit a802dd0e by moving the call to init_workqueues() back where it belongs - after SMP has been initialized. It also moves stop_machine_init() - which needs workqueues - to a later phase using a core_initcall() instead of early_initcall(). That should satisfy all ordering requirements, and was apparently the reason why init_workqueues() was moved to be too early.

The recent commit 2fca5ccf ("libata: switch to using block layer tagging support") to enable support for block layer tagging in libata was broken for non-NCQ devices The block layer initializes the tag field to -1 to detect invalid uses of a tag, and if the libata devices does NOT support NCQ, we just used that field to index the internal command list. So we need to check for -1 first and only use the tag field if it's valid.
