[PATCH] uml: fix dynamic linking on some 64-bit distros
With Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>
The current UML build assumes that on x86-64 systems, /lib is a symlink
to /lib64, but in some distributions (like PLD and CentOS) they are
separate directories, so the 64 bit library loader isn't found. This
patch inserts /lib64 at the start of the rpath on x86-64 UML builds.

[IA64-SGI] Missed TLB flush
I see why the problem exists only on SN. SN uses a different hardware

It looks like there is a bug in the SN TLB flushing code. During context switch,
kernel threads inherit the mm of the task that was previously running on the
cpu. This confuses the code in sn2_global_tlb_purge().
The result is a missed TLB purge for the task that owns the "borrowed" mm.

[PATCH] fbdev: fix switch to KD_TEXT, enhanced version
Every framebuffer driver relies on the assumption that the set_par()
function of the driver is called before drawing functions and other
functions dependent on the hardware state are executed.
Whenever you switch from X to a framebuffer console for the very first
time, there is a chance that a broken X system has _not_ set the mode to
KD_GRAPHICS, thus the vt and framebuffer code executes a screen redraw and
several other functions before a set_par() is executed. This is believed
to be not a bug of linux but a bug of X/xdm. At least some X releases used
by SuSE and Debian show this behaviour.
There was a 2nd case, but that has been fixed by Antonino Daplas on
10-dec-2005.
This patch allows drivers to set a flag to inform fbcon_switch() that they
prefer a set_par() call on every console switch, working around the
problems caused by the broken X releases.
The flag will be used by the next release of cyblafb and might help other
drivers that assume a hardware state different to the one used by X.
As the default behaviour does not change, this patch should be acceptable
to everybody.
