Since commit bc45b1d39a925b56796bebf8a397a0491489d85c acpi tables are
allowed to have an empty signature and /sys/firmware/acpi/tables uses the
signature as filename. Applications using naive recursion through /sys
loop forever. A possible solution would be: (replacing the zero length
filename with the string "NULL")

Like mac80211 did, this driver makes 'clever' use of skb->cb to pass
information along with an skb as it is requeued from the virtual device
to the physical wireless device. Unfortunately, that trick no longer
works...
Unlike mac80211, code complexity and driver apathy makes this hack
the best option we have in the short run. Hopefully someone will
eventually be motivated to code a proper fix before all the effected
hardware dies.

It turns out that if one registers a struct platform_device, the
platform device code expects that platform_device.device->driver points
to a struct driver inside a struct platform_driver.
This is not the case with the ipmi-si, ipmi-msghandler and ibmaem
drivers, which causes the suspend/resume hook functions to jump off into
nowhere, causing a crash. Make this assumption hold true for these
three drivers.

Based on a patch by Elias Oltmanns, we call ath5k_init in resume even
if we didn't previously open the device. Besides starting up the
device unnecessarily, this also causes an oops on rmmod because
mac80211 will not invoke ath5k_stop and softirqs are left running after
the module has been unloaded. Add a new state bit, ATH_STAT_STARTED,
to indicate that we have been started up.
After a s2ram / resume cycle, resetting the key cache does not work
unless it is deferred until after the hardware has been reinitialised by
a call to ath5k_hw_reset(). This fixes a regression introduced by
"ath5k: fix suspend-related oops on rmmod".

- the register is defined for the 8169 chipset only and there is
no 8169 beyond RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_06.
- only the lower 3 bytes of the register are valid
Previously I assumed that the receive queues of candidates don't
change during the GC. This is only half true, nothing can be received
from the queues (see comment in unix_gc()), but buffers could be added
through the other half of the socket pair, which may still have file
descriptors referring to it.
This can result in inc_inflight_move_tail() erronously increasing the
"inflight" counter for a unix socket for which dec_inflight() wasn't
previously called. This in turn can trigger the "BUG_ON(total_refs <
inflight_refs)" in a later garbage collection run.
Fix this by only manipulating the "inflight" counter for sockets which
are candidates themselves. Duplicating the file references in
unix_attach_fds() is also needed to prevent a socket becoming a
candidate for GC while the skb that contains it is not yet queued.
For "unlock" cycles to 16bit devices in 8bit compatibility mode we need
to use the byte addresses 0xaaa and 0x555. These effectively match
the word address 0x555 and 0x2aa, except the latter has its low bit set.
Most chips don't care about the value of the 'A-1' pin in x8 mode,
but some -- like the ST M29W320D -- do. So we need to be careful to
set it where appropriate.
cfi_send_gen_cmd is only ever passed addresses where the low byte
is 0x00, 0x55 or 0xaa. Of those, only addresses ending 0xaa are
affected by this patch, by masking in the extra low bit when the device
is known to be in compatibility mode.

Subject: md: linear: Fix a division by zero bug for very small arrays.
We currently oops with a divide error on starting a linear software
raid array consisting of at least two very small (< 500K) devices.
The bug is caused by the calculation of the hash table size which
tries to compute sector_div(sz, base) with "base" being zero due to
the small size of the component devices of the array.
Fix this by requiring the hash spacing to be at least one which
implies that also "base" is non-zero.

When working with hugepages, hugetlbfs assumes that those hugepages are
smaller than MAX_ORDER. Specifically it assumes that the mem_map is
contigious and uses that to optimise access to the elements of the mem_map
that represent the hugepage. Gigantic pages (such as 16GB pages on
powerpc) by definition are of greater order than MAX_ORDER (larger than
MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES in size). This means that we can no longer make use of
the buddy alloctor guarentees for the contiguity of the mem_map, which
ensures that the mem_map is at least contigious for maximmally aligned
areas of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES pages.
This patch adds new mem_map accessors and iterator helpers which handle
any discontiguity at MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundaries. It then uses these to
implement gigantic page versions of copy_huge_page and clear_huge_page,
and to allow follow_hugetlb_page handle gigantic pages.

As we can determine exactly when a gigantic page is in use we can optimise

into its own function. As gigantic pages are never released to buddy we
do not need a destructor. This effectivly reverts the previous change to
the main buddy allocator. It also adds a paranoid check to ensure we
never release gigantic pages from hugetlbfs to the main buddy.

This fixes an oops when reading /proc/sched_debug.
A cgroup won't be removed completely until finishing cgroup_diput(), so we
shouldn't invalidate cgrp->dentry in cgroup_rmdir(). Otherwise, when a
group is being removed while cgroup_path() gets called, we may trigger
NULL dereference BUG.
The bug can be reproduced:
# cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh

for (( ; ; ))
{
mkdir /mnt/sub
rmdir /mnt/sub
}
# ./test.sh &

The bad_bios_dmi_table() quirk never triggered because we do DMI setup
too late. Move it a bit earlier.
Also change the CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K quirk to operate on the e820
table directly instead of messing with early reservations - this handles
overlaps (which do occur in this low range of RAM) more gracefully.
Documents a wide range of systems where the BIOS utilizes the first
64K of physical memory during suspend/resume and other hardware events.
Currently we reserve this memory on all AMI and Phoenix BIOS systems.
Life is too short to hunt subtle memory corruption problems like this,
so we try to be robust by default.
Still, allow this to be overriden: allow users who want that first 64K
of memory to be available to the kernel disable the quirk, via
CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K=n.
Also, allow the early reservation to overlap with other
early reservations.
Alan Jenkins and Andy Wettstein reported a suspend/resume memory
corruption bug and extensively documented it here:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237
The bug is that the BIOS overwrites 1K of memory at 0xc000 physical,
without registering it in e820 as reserved or giving the kernel any
idea about this.
Detect AMI BIOSen and reserve that 1K.
We paint this bug around with a very broad brush (reserving that 1K on all
AMI BIOS systems), as the bug was extremely hard to find and needed several
weeks and lots of debugging and patching.
The bug was found via the CONFIG_X86_CHECK_BIOS_CORRUPTION=y debug feature,
if similar bugs are suspected then this feature can be enabled on other
systems as well to scan low memory for corrupted memory.

In ext3_sync_fs, we only wait for a commit to finish if we started it, but
there may be one already in progress which will not be synced.
In the case of a data=ordered umount with pending long symlinks which are
delayed due to a long list of other I/O on the backing block device, this
causes the buffer associated with the long symlinks to not be moved to the
inode dirty list in the second phase of fsync_super. Then, before they
can be dirtied again, kjournald exits, seeing the UMOUNT flag and the
dirty pages are never written to the backing block device, causing long
symlink corruption and exposing new or previously freed block data to
userspace.

__scm_destroy() walks the list of file descriptors in the scm_fp_list
pointed to by the scm_cookie argument.
Those, in turn, can close sockets and invoke __scm_destroy() again.
There is nothing which limits how deeply this can occur.
The idea for how to fix this is from Linus. Basically, we do all of
the fput()s at the top level by collecting all of the scm_fp_list
objects hit by an fput(). Inside of the initial __scm_destroy() we
keep running the list until it is empty.

While Linux doesn't honor setuid on scripts. However, it mistakenly
behaves differently for file capabilities.
This patch fixes that behavior by making sure that get_file_caps()
begins with empty bprm->caps_*. That way when a script is loaded,
its bprm->caps_* may be filled when binfmt_misc calls prepare_binprm(),
but they will be cleared again when binfmt_elf calls prepare_binprm()
next to read the interpreter's file capabilities.

A panic was discovered with bonding when using mode 5 or 6 and trying to
remove the slaves from the bond after the interface was taken down.
When calling 'ifconfig bond0 down' the following happens:
As you might guess we panic when trying to access a few entries into the
table that no longer exists.
I experimented with several options (like moving the calls to
tlb_deinitialize somewhere else), but it really makes the most sense to
be part of the bond_close routine. It also didn't seem logical move
tlb_clear_slave around too much, so the simplest option seems to add a
check in tlb_clear_slave to make sure we haven't already wiped the
tx_hashtbl away before searching for all the non-existent hash-table
entries that used to point to the slave as the output interface.

Input: atkbd - expand Latitude's force release quirk to other Dells
Dell laptops fail to send key up events for several of their special

limited to the Latitude range. This patch extends it to cover all
portable Dells.
The leading other brand OS appears to clear the WAK_STS flag on resume.
When rebooted, certain BIOSes assume that the system is actually
resuming if it's still set and so fail to reboot correctly. Make sure
that it's cleared at resume time.

ACPI: Ingore the RESET_REG_SUP bit when using ACPI reset mechanism
According to ACPI 3.0, FADT.flags.RESET_REG_SUP indicates
whether the ACPI reboot mechanism is supported.
However, some boxes have this bit clear, have a valid
ACPI_RESET_REG & RESET_VALUE, and ACPI reboot is the only
mechanism that works for them after S3.
This suggests that other operating systems may not be checking
the RESET_REG_SUP bit, and are using other means to decide
whether to use the ACPI reboot mechanism or not.
Here we stop checking RESET_REG_SUP.
Instead, When acpi reboot is requested,
only the reset_register is checked. If the following
conditions are met, it indicates that the reset register is supported.
a. reset_register is not zero
b. the access width is eight
c. the bit_offset is zero

All three flavors of sata_nv's are different in how their hardreset
behaves.
* generic: Hardreset is not reliable. Link often doesn't come online
after hardreset.
* nf2/3: A little bit better - link comes online with longer debounce
timing. However, nf2/3 can't reliable wait for the first D2H
Register FIS, so it can't wait for device readiness or classify the
device after hardreset. Follow-up SRST required.
* ck804: Hardreset finally works.
The core layer change to prefer hardreset and follow up changes
exposed the above issues and caused various detection regressions for
all three flavors. This patch, hopefully, fixes all the known issues
and should make sata_nv error handling more reliable.
Promise ATA engines need to be reset when errors occur.
That's currently done for errors detected by sata_promise itself,
but it's not done for errors like timeouts detected outside of
the low-level driver.
The effect of this omission is that a timeout tends to result
in a sequence of failed COMRESETs after which libata EH gives
up and disables the port. At that point the port's ATA engine
hangs and even reloading the driver will not resume it.
To fix this, make sata_promise override ->hardreset on SATA
ports with code which calls pdc_reset_port() on the port in
question before calling libata's hardreset. PATA ports don't
use ->hardreset, so for those we override ->softreset instead.

USB: storage: Avoid I/O errors when issuing SCSI ioctls to JMicron USB/ATA bridge
Here's the patch that implements the fix you suggested to avoid the

rtc-cmos: look for PNP RTC first, then for platform RTC
We shouldn't rely on "pnp_platform_devices" to tell us whether there
is a PNP RTC device.
I introduced "pnp_platform_devices", but I think it was a mistake.
All it tells us is whether we found any PNPBIOS or PNPACPI devices.
Many machines have some PNP devices, but do not describe the RTC
via PNP. On those machines, we need to do the platform driver probe
to find the RTC.
We should just register the PNP driver and see whether it claims anything.
If we don't find a PNP RTC, fall back to the platform driver probe.
This (in conjunction with the arch/x86/kernel/rtc.c patch to add
a platform RTC device when PNP doesn't have one) should resolve
these issues:
It's possible for get_wchan() to dereference past task->stack + THREAD_SIZE
while iterating through instruction pointers if fp equals the upper boundary,
causing a kernel panic.
sched_clock: prevent scd->clock from moving backwards
When sched_clock_cpu() couples the clocks between two cpus, it may
increment scd->clock beyond the GTOD tick window that __update_sched_clock()
uses to clamp the clock. A later call to __update_sched_clock() may move
the clock back to scd->tick_gtod + TICK_NSEC, violating the clock's
monotonic property.
This patch ensures that scd->clock will not be set backward.

Since patch 6ac665c63dcac8fcec534a1d224ecbb8b867ad59 my infiniband
controller hasn't worked. This is because it has 64-bit prefetchable
memory, which was mistakenly being taken to be 32-bit memory. The
resource flags in this case are PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_TYPE_64 |
PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_PREFETCH.
This patch checks only for the PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_MEM_TYPE_64 bit; thus
whether the region is prefetchable or not is ignored. This fixes my
Infiniband.

If there are multiple reserved memory blocks via lmb_reserve() that are
contiguous addresses and on different NUMA nodes we are losing track of which
address ranges to reserve in bootmem on which node. I discovered this
when I recently got to try 16GB huge pages on a system with more then 2 nodes.
When scanning the device tree in early boot we call lmb_reserve() with
the addresses of the 16G pages that we find so that the memory doesn't
get used for something else. For example the addresses for the pages
could be 4000000000, 4400000000, 4800000000, 4C00000000, etc - 8 pages,
one on each of eight nodes. In the lmb after all the pages have been
reserved it will look something like the following:
The reserved.region[0x4] contains the 16G pages. In
arch/powerpc/mm/num.c: do_init_bootmem() we loop through each of the
node numbers looking for the reserved regions that belong to the
particular node. It is not able to identify region 0x4 as being a part
of each of the 8 nodes. It is assuming that a reserved region is only
on a single node.
This patch takes out the reserved region loop from inside
the loop that goes over each node. It looks up the active region containing
the start of the reserved region. If it extends past that active region then
it adjusts the size and gets the next active region containing it.

This optimizes firewire-sbp2's device probe for the case that the local
node and the SBP-2 node were discovered at the same time. In this case,
fw-core's bus management work and fw-sbp2's login and SCSI probe work
are scheduled in parallel (in the globally shared workqueue and in
fw-sbp2's workqueue, respectively). The bus reset from fw-core may then
disturb and extremely delay the login and SCSI probe because the latter
fails with several command timeouts and retries and has to be retried
from scratch.
We avoid this particular situation of sbp2_login() and fw_card_bm_work()
running in parallel by delaying the first sbp2_login() a little bit.
This is meant to be a short-term fix for
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466679. In the long run,
the SCSI probe, i.e. fw-sbp2's call of __scsi_add_device(), should be
parallelized with sbp2_reconnect().

I'm trying to move the powerpc math-emu code to use the include/math-emu bits.
In doing so I've been using TestFloat to see how good or bad we are
doing. For the most part the current math-emu code that PPC uses has
a number of issues that the code in include/math-emu seems to solve
(plus bugs we've had for ever that no one every realized).
Anyways, I've come across a case that we are flagging underflow and
inexact because we think we have a denormalized result from a double
precision divide:
The problem seems like we aren't normalizing the result and bumping the exp.
Now that I'm digging into this a bit I'm thinking my issue has to do with
the fix DaveM put in place from back in Aug 2007 (commit 405849610fd96b4f34cd1875c4c033228fea6c0f):
[MATH-EMU]: Fix underflow exception reporting.
2) we ended up rounding back up to normal (this is the case where
we set the exponent to 1 and set the fraction to zero), this
should set inexact too
...
Another example, "0x0.0000000000001p-1022 / 16.0", should signal both
inexact and underflow. The cpu implementations and ieee1754
literature is very clear about this. This is case #2 above.
Here is the distilled glibc test case from Jakub Jelinek which prompted that
commit:
