      [PATCH] Fix memset on x86-64 · a5c43a75
      Andi Kleen authored
      The memset for C stepping K8 was broken. This broke mainly CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG
      because memset(...., 0, ...) still worked correctly.
      
      Thanks to Manfred Spraul for giving me the right cue.

      [PATCH] X86-64 merge · f73e9f0f
      Andi Kleen authored
      At least one of them is critical. It fixes an path in the IOMMU that
      I broke with the ealier "fullflush" workaround.
      
       - Check for ~/bin/installkernel like i386 (M. Bligh) 
       - Implement 32bit RTC_IRQ_SET correctly (Lutz Vieweg)
       - Disable some useless printks in 32bit emulation
       - Warning fixes for mixed C99 style declarations/statements.
       - Sync lAPIC power management with i386
       - Use topology sysfs like i386
       - Fix some serious bugs in the MCE handler. ECC should
         be decoded correctly now.
       - Add oops=panic option to panic on Oopses.
       - Fix hackish code in head.S
       - Add missing options in IOMMU
       - Fix _syscall6 (Olaf Hering)
       - Remove broken ACPI locking code. Port IA64 C version.
       - Make safe_smp_processor_id() more reliable
       - Read HPET in vsyscall code
       - Add workaround for BIOS that corrupt 64bit registers in HLT
       - Fix unaligned access in bitops.h
       - Remove broken ntp drift correction code for now
       - i386 merge in SCI setup
       - Fix wrong offset in callin.h (Jim Houston)
       - Minor comment fixes

      [PATCH] DVB: Revamp of the TTUSB-DEC driver · 6455aafe
      Michael Hunold authored
       - Alter hotplug firmware naming to fit in with dvb standard.
       - Use the hotplug firmware loader for 2.6 kernels instead of compiling
         the firmware into the module. 
       - Integrate frontend into ttusb_dec module and remove pseudo-i2c bits,
         move ttusb_dec header into source file.
       - Rudimentary section filter support (enough for scan).

      ia64: Fix a ptrace-bug that caused "strace -f" to crash the inferior · 45f4d49a
      David Mosberger authored
            process.  The root-cause of the problem was that ptrace() tried
            to copy the portion of the register backing store that landed on
            the kernel stack back to users-space, but the resulting state
            was inconsistent if the inferior process was in the middle of a
            system-call (as would always be the case for strace).
      
            The solution is to avoid all needless copying and to instead
            ensure that when accessing a memory location that may belong to
            a thread's register-backing store, we attach to that particular
            thread, rather than the thread identified by the PID argument.
            If the thread happens to be unattachable, we fall back to using
            the thread identified by the PID argument.  This should have the
            desired effect if the thread has terminated already and if the
            thread is running while ptrace() is trying to access its state,
            all bets are off anyhow and there are no coherency guarantees.
            In other words, this should be doing the right thing under all
            circumstances.
      
            The patch also fixes the case where PT_AR_BSP and/or PT_CFM are
            written while the inferior process is in the middle of a system
            call.  This makes arguments passed to GDB inferior calls come
            out right.
      
            The patch was tested with strace -f and the GDB testsuite, which
            showed no regressions compared to the previous version of the
            kernel.

      [PATCH] call_usermodehelper retval fix · be907e49
      Andrew Morton authored
      The reworked firmware loader in the DVB patches needs the fix to the
      call_usermodehelper() return value. 
      
      From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
      
      MODULE_ALIAS_BLOCK() and MODULE_ALIAS_CHAR() define aliases of form
      "XXX-<major>-<minor>", so we should probe for modules using this form.
      Unfortunately in 2.4, block aliases were "XXX-<major>" and char aliases
      were of both forms.
      
      Ideally, all modules would now be using MODULE_ALIAS() macros to define
      their aliases, and the old configuration files wouldn't matter as much. 
      Unfortunately, this hasn't happened, so we make request_module() return the
      exit status of modprobe, and then do fallback when probing for char and
      block devices.
      
      (Kudos to Chris Wright, I stole his kernel_thread flags).

      [PATCH] fix for 16-bit PCMCIA interrupt selection · 75c71254
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: David Hinds <dhinds@sonic.net>
      
      This fixes interrupt allocation for 16-bit PCMCIA cards, so that on systems
      supporting ISA bus interrupts, if all ISA interrupts are unavailable, we'll
      fall back on sharing the bridge PCI interrupt.
