The HVCS driver, for those who don't know, is a driver for the "server" side of the IBM virtual terminal mechanism allowing Linux partitions to act as terminal servers under IBM PowerVM hypervisor. It's almost never used on the field at the moment. However, it's part of our configs, and in its current incarnation, will allocate the tty driver & major (with 64 minors) and create a kernel thread whether it's used or not, ie, whether the hypervisor did put a virtual terminal server device node in the partition or not (or whether running on a pseries machine or not even). This in turns causes modern distro's udev's to start trying to open all those 64 minors at boot, which, since they aren't linked to anything, causes the driver to spew errors in the kernel log for each of them. Not nice. This moves all that initialization to a function which is now only called the first time a terminal server virtual IO device is actually probed (that is almost never). There's still a _LOT_ of cleanup that can be done in this driver, some simple (almost all printk's statements in there shall either just be removed or in some case turned into better written & more informative messages, including using the dev_* variants etc...). This is left as an exercise for whoever actually cares about that driver. One could also try to be smart and dispose of all the tty related resources when the last instance of the VIO server device is removed (Hotplug anybody ?).

The rtas_event_scan() function uses smp_processor_id() to select a starting point in cpu_online_mask, and does so under the protection of get_online_cpus(). This might not select the current processor in any case, so switch to raw_smp_processor_id(). Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The following warning was seen building rack-meter.c WARNING: drivers/built-in.o(.text+0xac784): Section mismatch in reference from the function rackmeter_shutdown() to the function .devexit.text:rackmeter_stop_cpu_sniffer() The function rackmeter_shutdown() references a function in an exit section. Often the function rackmeter_stop_cpu_sniffer() has valid usage outside the exit section and the fix is to remove the __devexit annotation of rackmeter_stop_cpu_sniffer. This patch resolves the warning by removing the __devexit annotation from rackmeter_stop_cpu_sniffer().

This reverts commit c4ff4b82. Ted Ts'o reports: "TPM is working for me so I can log into employer's network in 2.6.37. It broke when I tried 2.6.38-rc6, with the following relevant lines from my dmesg: [ 11.081627] tpm_tis 00:0b: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0x0, rev-id 78) [ 25.734114] tpm_tis 00:0b: Operation Timed out [ 78.040949] tpm_tis 00:0b: Operation Timed out This caused me to get suspicious, especially since the _other_ TPM commit in 2.6.38 had already been reverted, so I tried reverting commit c4ff4b82: "TPM: Long default timeout fix". With this commit reverted, my TPM on my Lenovo T410 is once again working."

Several ACPI drivers fail to build if CONFIG_NET is unset, because they refer to things depending on CONFIG_THERMAL that in turn depends on CONFIG_NET. However, CONFIG_THERMAL doesn't really need to depend on CONFIG_NET, because the only part of it requiring CONFIG_NET is the netlink interface in thermal_sys.c. Put the netlink interface in thermal_sys.c under #ifdef CONFIG_NET and remove the dependency of CONFIG_THERMAL on CONFIG_NET from drivers/thermal/Kconfig. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

A customer of ours, complained that when setting the reset vector back to 0, it trashed other data and hung their box. They noticed when only 4 bytes were set to 0 instead of 8, everything worked correctly. Mathew pointed out: | | We're supposed to be resetting trampoline_phys_low and | trampoline_phys_high here, which are two 16-bit values. | Writing 64 bits is definitely going to overwrite space | that we're not supposed to be touching. | So limit the area modified to u32.

Somehow fixes a misrendering + hang at GDM startup on my NVA8... My first guess would have been stale TLB entries laying around that a new bo then accidentally inherits. That doesn't make a great deal of sense however, as when we mapped the pages for the new bo the TLBs would've gotten flushed anyway. Signed-off-by: Ben Skeggs <bskeggs@redhat.com>

When the per cpu timer is marked CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP, then we only can switch into oneshot mode, when the backup broadcast device supports oneshot mode as well. Otherwise we would try to switch the broadcast device into an unsupported mode unconditionally. This went unnoticed so far as the current available broadcast devices support oneshot mode. Seth unearthed this problem while debugging and working around an hpet related BIOS wreckage. Add the necessary check to tick_is_oneshot_available().

A race can occur when io_submit() races with io_destroy(): CPU1 CPU2 io_submit() do_io_submit() ... ctx = lookup_ioctx(ctx_id); io_destroy() Now do_io_submit() holds the last reference to ctx. ... queue new AIO put_ioctx(ctx) - frees ctx with active AIOs We solve this issue by checking whether ctx is being destroyed in AIO submission path after adding new AIO to ctx. Then we are guaranteed that either io_destroy() waits for new AIO or we see that ctx is being destroyed and bail out.
