      [PATCH] security oops fix · 8a65e057
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>
      
      Looking at d_splice_alias, it appears that the security_d_instantiate call
      in the first case (where it ends up moving an entry in place of the given
      dentry) should be passing 'new' rather than 'dentry' to ensure that the
      passed dentry is associated with the inode.  This patch should fix the
      problem.
      
      (Addresses bugzilla #2153)

      [PATCH] Another x86-64 fix for problems from the recent merge · e4c77679
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>,
            From Suresh.B.Siddha
      
      Fix another bug caused by the recent IA32e merge.  The full L1 cache size
      padding of the GDT didn't work with smaller cache line sizes.  Just revert
      that.
      
      I must admit I still don't understand why it didn't work, but it's better
      to have a working system for now.

      [PATCH] IPMI warning fixes · db9a7868
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>
      
      When compiling the IPMI drivers on m68k, I needed a few more includes:
      
        - <asm/irq.h> (for disable_irq_nosync() and enable_irq())

      [PATCH] nbd: remove PARANOIA and other cleanups · 4d273aae
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Paul Clements <Paul.Clements@SteelEye.com>
      
      This patch removes the PARANOIA define (it was always defined anyway).  It
      also removes the requests_in/out counters (which weren't always accurate,
      and are superfluous anyway, since the block layer keeps its own in_flight
      counter).  Also some minor cleanup of comments.

      [PATCH] add range checking to sys_sysctl() · df84e5eb
      Andrew Morton authored
      If you pass a huge nlen value into sys_sysctl() it will loop for hours
      printing billions of question marks, so range-check the arguments.
      
      Also, remove the code which informs the user that the sysctl is obsolete: it
      allows unprivileged users to spam the logs.

      [PATCH] Intel i830 AGP fix · 7f22b58a
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Terence Ripperda <tripperda@nvidia.com>
      
      When coming out of standby, some chipsets lose their configuration in pci
      config space.  this includes not just the agp master register being lost, but
      chipset-specific information, such as the physical address of the gatt table
      and other settings.  Calling this configure routine again restores those
      settings.
      
      Dave said he was adding chipsets to this list on an "as needed and tested"
      basis.  I ran across this problem I believe on a Dell Inspiron 4100 with
      nv11.  (there had been some similar problems with specific nv11 systems when
      doing apm with the 2.4 kernel, I suspect, but haven't been able to verify,
      it's the same problem).

      [PATCH] more serial driver fixups · 05fa7c2c
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>
      
      Here is a patch which updates various serial drivers in the kernel to make
      them less broken than they were before.  Nevertheless, they are still
      broken.
      
      The improvement is to make these drivers use the tiocmget/tiocmset methods,
      which are present in the 2.6 kernel.
      
      Many of these have been incorrectly converted from the old global IRQ
      locking without regard for SMP issues, or still use the old global IRQ
      locking methods which are no longer present in 2.6 kernels.

      ARM720T processors use the "late" abort option, which means we have to

      [ARM PATCH 1719/1] Acornfb update · 66d76f3e
      Peter Teichmann authored
      Patch from: Peter Teichmann, edited by Russell King.
      
      * a bugfix to the pseudo palette handling in 16/32 bit modes: the
        pseudo palette is always kept in 32 bit integers
      * a bugfix to setcolreg() in 16 bit modes: there have to be 32 colour
        registers (this has nothing to do with the 16 pseudo palette
        colours, it is a bit misleading that setcolreg() is used both for
        pseudo palette setup and DIRECTCOLOR colour translation)
        (The behaviour should be selected using the visual and the rgb
         representation rather than the current BPP setting. --rmk)
      * change 16 bit visual from TRUECOLOR to DIRECTCOLOR
      * take the limited bandwidth of the RiscPC video memory into account
        for acornfb_valid_pixrate()
      * acornfb_vidc20_find_rates() now takes into account the differences
        between VRAM and DRAM when setting the FIFO preload value. With
        VRAM, the FIFO can be set to the highest possible setting because
        there are no latency considerations for other memory accesses.
        However, in 64 bit bus mode the FIFO preload value must not be set
        to VIDC20_CTRL_FIFO_28 because this will let the FIFO overflow.
        See VIDC20 manual page 33 (6.0 Setting the FIFO preload value).
      
      * select Multifreq monitor as default, increase frequency range for
        Multifreq monitor (this is of course a philosophical question, but
        I believe a sensible default setting should not impose too much
        limits to the user)
        (I dropped this change because it is known that some monitor
         hardware shipped with Acorn machines does not take kindly to
         wrong timing signals.  If people really care, they should use
         the kernel command line to select the correct monitor type. --rmk)
