From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: So-called \So"-called`\, a. So named; called by such a name (but perhaps called thus with doubtful propriety). From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]: so-called adj : doubtful or suspect; "these so-called experts are no help" [syn: {alleged(a)}, {supposed}] My strong conviction is that widespread use of 'so gennant' or 'sogennant' in German has led to the creeping misuse of 'so-called' in English (especially through technical writings). In English, it would be better to use: what is called or a better translation of 'so gennant': so named Signed-off-by: Michael Witten <mfwitten@gmail.com>

In commit a144c6a6 ("PM: Print a warning if firmware is requested when tasks are frozen") we not only printed a warning if somebody tried to load the firmware when tasks are frozen - we also failed the load. But that check was done before the check for built-in firmware, and then when we disallowed usermode helpers during bootup (commit 288d5abe: "Boot up with usermodehelper disabled"), that actually means that built-in modules can no longer load their firmware even if the firmware is built in too. Which used to work, and some people depended on it for the R100 driver. So move the test for usermodehelper_is_disabled() down, to after checking the built-in firmware. This should fix: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40952Reported-by: James Cloos <cloos@hjcloos.com> Bisected-by: Elimar Riesebieter <riesebie@lxtec.de> Cc: Michel Dänzer <michel@daenzer.net> Cc: Rafael Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Cc: Valdis Kletnieks <valdis.kletnieks@vt.edu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

When we enter a 32-bit system call via SYSENTER or SYSCALL, we shuffle the arguments to match the int $0x80 calling convention. This was probably a design mistake, but it's what it is now. This causes errors if the system call as to be restarted. For SYSENTER, we have to invoke the instruction from the vdso as the return address is hardcoded. Accordingly, we can simply replace the jump in the vdso with an int $0x80 instruction and use the slower entry point for a post-restart.
