This updates a warning message that the bonding driver issues when some modes are unable to determine the link speed of a slave device. The old message led users to believe that bonding was slowing their gigabit devices to 100 Mb/sec. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

This fixes the mincore syscall in three ways: (1) It moves as much argument checking outside of the semaphore-holding region as possible. (2) It checks the region parameters against TASK_SIZE so that a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit platform will get the right error when calling this syscall on a region that overlaps the end of the 32-bit address space. (3) It tidies up the VMA checking loop a little. Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-Off-By: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The attached patch fixes sigaltstack handling for RT signal return.

do_i2c_rdwr_ioctl() does two compat_alloc_user_space(). That doesn't work; no state is kept and second allocation will ignore the first one (i.e. give overlapping chunk of user stack).

The mcd driver drives only very old hardware (some single and double speed CD drives that were connected either via the soundcard or a special ISA card), and the mcdx driver offers more functionality for the same hardware. My plan is to mark MCD as broken in 2.6.11 and if noone complains completely remove this driver some time later.

It adds the sleep support for newer powermacs, improve power saving on some laptops, makes use of the new fbdev modelist management routines, and fixes a few backlight related issues. I tested it on a thinkpad T30 and a few PPC boxes with success. It should be less invasive than the previous one (I don't try to restore the mode on exit, that is what breaks the thinkpad and possibly other stuffs that boot in VGA text mode), plus fixed a couple of bugs in the mode detection code. I also reverted the memory map fix on ppc since it doesn't work properly on some recent laptops where the firmware sets a tiled display. I'll rework that completely to update the memory map as part of the mode setting later. That should fix various issues when switching with X/DRI on x86.

This patch updates aty128fb power management code to the changes of the powermac sleep mecanism. It makes the driver use the new hook for early wakeup, adds the call to the arch code indicating wether it can wakeup the chip, etc... This patch shouldn't break non-ppc, but this should be tested.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
The new PowerMac sleep code provides an arch hook that can be used by video drivers on laptops to bring back the screen very early, pretty much before anything else. This basically turns reports of the style "my laptop doesn't wakeup" to "I get this or this oops/error/panic on wakeup", making fixing the PM related bugs possible on a whole range of them. However, the fbdev wakeup code triggers WARN_ON's in the VT subsystem if called without the console semaphore when redrawing the screen (I added those warnings a couple of kernel versions ago), and we can't call acquire_console_sem() since we are so early in the wakeup process that we are considered as in_atomic() (we hold irqs off too). This patch addds a try_acquire_console_sem() function that can be used by those video drivers that implement this early wakeup hook. If the acquire fails (which should never happen in practice), wakeup is delayed to the normal PCI callback which does a blocking acquire_console_sem().

In linux 2.6, PTRACE_SETOPTIONS is redefined to 0x4200, while the old 2.4 value (21) is still available as PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS. So, if UML uses PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, an UML-kernel built on a 2.6 won't run on a 2.4 host. Hence we must use PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS. For cases when PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS does not exists (i.e. 2.4 host or archs which miss it because they don't have a "deprecated" value), we fallback this macro to PTRACE_SETOPTIONS.

The nls_cp936.c is not synchronized with MS's translation table, there are some characters have different code from the code in updated table of MS. For example, the unicode for character 0xB8A3 (GBK) should be U+798F, but the code is U+FA1B in nls_cp936.c. Regenerated the tables. The number of differences is rather large, so I did not check every change, but looking at a random sample the changes seem OK. Mostly the CJK Compatibility Ideographs have been replaced by their ordinary equivalents. Some code points that were unassigned now got a meaning.

This effectively enables executable stack and executable heap for all 32bit programs on x86-64, except if noexec32=on is specified. This does not support changing this with personality right now, this would need more intrusive changes. A 64bit process will always turn it off and a 32bit process turn it on. Also readd the noexec32=on option to turn this off and fix a minor bug in noexec=...

So we discover that Borland's Kylix application builder emits weird elf files which describe a non-writeable bss segment. So remove the clear_user() check at the place where we zero out the bss. I don't _think_ there are any security implications here (plus we've never checked that clear_user() return value, so whoops if it is a problem).

The second parameter of the sys_ipc system wrapper on ppc64, s390-64 and sparc64 is an "int". sys_shmget gets called with this 32 bit value as the size parameter. This limits the maximum shared memory segment on these three architectures to 2GB. To fix this the second parameter is declared as an "unsigned long" and is then casted to the type required by the The same int vs. unsigned long bug is fixed for sys_msgsnd and sys_msgrcv as well.

This fixes an incorrect sign extension in the compat layer that breaks 32bit shmget that are >2GB. sys_shmget has a signed size_t size argument, and the int size argument coming from 32bit user space would get sign extended to 64bit, which is wrong. I fixed it on all compat architectures, except PPC64 which was already ok. It was originally debugged and fixed by Karl Rister @ IBM for SLES9 on x86-64.

Another fix to the put_chip() concurrency logic. Problem was occurring when: 1) one thread was erasing a block in partition x; 2) another thread suspended the erase in order to write to partition y; 3) a third thread came along to read a different block from partition x and, when it called put_chip(), chip->oldstate was FL_ERASING and the erase (mistakenly) resumed; 4) the write in partition y obviously failed at that point. Incidentally, the fix for this problem also fixed the case where suspending writes for MTD XIP usage was not working properly.

1. FAN Status/Control: you can now get the fan status (running or not) and also set the fan speed (for <5 seconds only). The problem is that there is an auto regulator that kicks in within about 5 seconds after that to restart the fan if it is above a threshold temperature (39 Degree C in my Vaio). It is useful just to get the fan status (primarily). It also appears that you can change the speed by increasing the values (much like the LCD control) - there are effectively only about 6 speeds (it seems - not sure, but from what I've played with on my Vaio). 2. Temperature: you can get the current temperature (same as reported by ACPI). This is primarily useful for APM users (since ACPI already gives this). I have used this to detect when the fan comes on in my Vaio (39 Degree C).
