This implements support for doing a HW synchronization of the CPU timebases on SMP G5 machines. When the proper clock chips are found on i2c, they are used to stop the timebase clock source during the synchronization process. This replaces the software sync algorithm we used so far and provides slightly more precise results.

The code in pmac_low_i2c.c is a low level synchronous version of the i2c keywest driver for use by platform code early during boot or during sleep/wakeup cycles to communicate with some motherboard chips, typically clock chips. It wasn't used on g5 until now, which is good because it wasn't 64 bits clean :) This patch fixes it, and also remove the use of udelay() since it can be used for synchronizing the HW timebase, and so must operate when it's frozen (and our implementation of udelay uses that timebase).

Thanks to Kay Sievers for reporting this. Was caused by a change from Venkatesh Pallipadi as seen at: http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/cset@41810e4aGZ0E5bn_hMb4JgIY5u90zASigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

EFI partitioning scheme was reading the last reported sector of the block device to look for the alternate GPT header, before it had confirmed that it should. This causes problems for devices with the following problems: a) those who misreport their size (typically off-by-one), and b) those who fail when asked to read a block outside their range. This patch moves the test for the Protective Master Boot Record (PMBR) ahead of the tests for the Primary and Alternate GPT headers. If the PMBR is not valid, the disk is assumed to not be a GPT disk. This can be overridden with the 'gpt' kernel command line option. If the Primary GPT header is not valid, the Alternate GPT header is not probed automatically unless the 'gpt' kernel command line option is passed. If the both the PMBR and Primary GPT header are valid, then the Alternate GPT header at the end of the disk is probed. Also re-enables CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION for all architectures.

This fixes a problem introduced in the previous set of driver model changes that has been seen by a lot of people (most notibly the greater than 256 pty users, but others might also be hitting this without realizing it.) Also add a comment so we don't try to "fix" this again. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

If you call drivers/md/dm-io.c:resize_pool on an empty pool and mempool_create is unable to make the pool, the condition is not handled correctly, resulting in an oops in mempool_destroy. Trivial fix.

Minor changes required to port kprobes for sparc64. - arch_prepare_kprobe() returns an integer. - added arch_remove_kprobe(). - changes to access copy of original instruction, since kprobe_opcode_t insn[MAX_INSN_SIZE] is moved from struct kprobe to a struct arch_specific_insn.

released the tasklist_lock. Since it released the lock, the process lists may not be valid any more, and we must repeat the loop rather than continue with the next parent. Use -EAGAIN to show this condition (separate from the normal -EFAULT that may happen if rusage information could not be copied to user space).

The patch adds a check at the beginning of i2c_del_adapter in case someone attempts to remove an adapter that was never added in the first place. This sounds like a good safety, as doing so will lead to an oops at the moment. Also, I have a need for it in the latest version of my i2c-amd756-s4882 patch. I need to remove the original adapter and install the virtual ones instead, but I have no way to know if the original adapter was succesfully added beforehand or not.

In big endian machines, the read*/write* accessors do a byteswap for an inherently little endian PCI bus. However, rivafb puts the hardwire in big endian register access, thus the byteswap is not needed. So for 16- and 32-bit access, instead of read*/write*, use __raw_read*/__raw_write* for all archs.

The patch below fixes two flaws in minix_clear_inode. The first is that it tests bh which is never initialized. (&bh is a parameter of minix_V1_raw_inode, but that routine can fail and return before it has set bh) The second is that generic_delete_inode() goes BUG() in case inode->i_state != I_CLEAR. Clearly, it is expected that inode->i_sb->s_op->delete_inode does a clear_inode() at some point. But minix_delete_inode() calls minix_free_inode() and that routine can print an error and return early, before calling clear_inode().

ppdev's ioctls are not available for 32bit apps on 64bit systems. There are four ioctls which take no argument at all (so they are compatible between 32bit and 64bit), these numbers do not clash with any other ioctl code, and so I see no reason why not applying patch below. It solves problem VMware users are faced on 64bit systems if they want to use direct access to the parallel port.
