Ingo Korb b08b5ad947 Char: stallion, fix oops during init with ISA cards
The stallion driver oopses while initializing ISA cards due to an
uninitialized variable.  This patch changes the initialisation order to
match the PCI code path.

Ivan Kokshaysky 58ed2f9c75 alpha: fix alignment problem in csum_ipv6_magic()
Hopefully this fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8635

The struct in6_addr passed to csum_ipv6_magic() is 4 byte aligned, so we
can't use the regular 64-bit loads.  Since the cost of handling of 4 byte
and 1 byte aligned 64-bit data is roughly the same, this code can cope with
any src/dst [mis]alignment.

Andy Whitcroft 653d4876b7 update checkpatch.pl to version 0.05
This version brings a some new tests, and a host of changes to fix
false positives, of particular note:

 - detect 'var ++;' and 'var --;' as a bad combination
 - multistatement #defines are now checked based on statement count
 - multistatement #defines with initialisation correctly reported
 - checks the location of the inline keywords
 - EXPORT_SYMBOL for variables are now understood
 - typedefs are loosened to handle sparse etc

This version of checkpatch.pl can be found at the following URL:

      http://www.shadowen.org/~apw/public/checkpatch/checkpatch.pl-0.05

Full Changelog:

Andy Whitcroft (18):
      Version: 0.05
      macro definition checks should be for a single statement
      avoid assignements only in if conditionals
      declarations of function pointers need no space
      multiline macros which are purely initialisation cannot be wrapped
      EXPORT_SYMBOL can also directly follow a variable definition
      check on the location of the inline keyword
      EXPORT_SYMBOL needs to allow for attributes
      ensure we do not find C99 // in strings
      handle malformed #include lines
      accept the {0,} form
      typedefs are sensible for defining function pointer parameters
      ensure { handling correctly handles nested switch() statements
      trailing whitespace checks are not anchored
      typedefs for sparse bitwise annotations make sense
      update the type matcher to include sparse annotations
      clean up indent and spacing

Christoph Lameter 92c4ca5c3a sched: fix next_interval determination in idle_balance()
The intervals of domains that do not have SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE must be

Egmont Koblinger 1ed8a2b3c5 console UTF-8 fixes (fix)
Recently my console UTF-8 patch went mainline.  Here is an additional patch
that fixes two nasty issues and improves a third one, namely:

1. My patch changed the behavior if a glyph is not found in the Unicode
   mapping table. Previously for Unicode values less than 256 or 512 the
   kernel tried to display the glyph from that position of the glyph table,
   which could lead to a different accented letter being displayed. I
   removed this fallback possibility and changed it to display the
   replacement symbol.

   As Behdad pointed out, some fonts (e.g. sun12x22 from the kbd package)
   lack Unicode mapping information, hence all you get is lots of question
   marks. Though theoretically it's actually a user-space bug (the font
   should be fixed), Behdad and I both believe that it'd be good to work
   around in the kernel by re-introducing the fallback solution for ASCII
   characters only. This sounds a quite reasonable decision, since all fonts
   ship the ASCII characters in the first 128 positions. This way users
   won't be surprised by lots of question marks just because s/he issued a
   not-so-perfectly parameterized setfont command. As this fallback is only
   re-introduced for code points below 128, you still won't see an accented
   letter replaced by another, but at least you'll always get the English
   letters right.

2. My patch introduced "question mark with inverted color attributes" as a
   last resort fallback glyph. Though it perfectly works on VGA console, on
   framebuffer you may end up with question marks that are highlighed but
   shouldn't be, and normal characters that are accidentally highlighed.
   This is caused by missing FLUSHes when changing the color attribute.

3. I've updated the table of double-width character based on Markus's
   updated version. Only ten new code poings (one interval) is added.

Olaf Kirch 5b5a60da28 [NET]: Make skb_seq_read unmap the last fragment
Having walked through the entire skbuff, skb_seq_read would leave the
last fragment mapped.  As a consequence, the unwary caller would leak
kmaps, and proceed with preempt_count off by one. The only (kind of
non-intuitive) workaround is to use skb_seq_read_abort.

This patch makes sure skb_seq_read always unmaps frag_data after
having cycled through the skb's paged part.

Venkatesh Pallipadi d5a3d32a04 ACPI: fix 2.6.20 SMP boot regression
Always disable/enable interrupts in the acpi idle routine,
even in the error path.

This is required as the 2.6.20 change in git commit d331e739f5ad2aaa9...
"Fix interrupt race in idle callback" expects the idle handler
to enable interrupt before returning.

There was a case in acpi idle routine, in which interrupt was not being
enabled before return, which caused the system to hang at bootup, while
enabling C-states on an SMP system.

The signature of the hang was that "processor.nocst"
was required to enable boot.

Fix this by rounding `end' down to the nearest cacheline boundary if

Also flush the write buffer unconditionally -- if the dcache wrote
back a line just before we invalidated it, the dirty data may be

The problem is that due to a old Windows bug many CPUs need magic MSRs

But since we only need it in PAE kernels so only force the checking
for CMPXCHG65 with PAE.

the interval is reasonable.

With high resolution timers enabled one might arm a posix timer with a
very small interval and ignore the signal. This might lead to a
softirq starvation when the interval is so small that the timer is
requeued onto the softirq pending list right away.

This problem was pointed out by Jan Kiszka. Thanks Jan !

The correct solution would be to stop the timer, when the signal is
ignored and rearm it when SIG_IGN is removed. Unfortunately this
requires modification in sigaction and involves non trivial sighand
locking. It's too late in the release cycle for such a change.

For now we just keep the timer running and enforce that the timer only
fires every jiffie. This does not break anything as we keep the
overrun counter correct. It adds a little inaccuracy to the
timer_gettime() interface, but...

The more complex change is necessary anyway to fix another short
coming of the current implementation, which I discovered while looking
at this problem: A pending signal is discarded when SIG_IGN is set. In
case that a posixtimer signal is pending then it is discarded as well,
but when SIG_IGN is removed later nothing rearms the timer. This is
not new, it's that way since posix timers have been merged. So nothing
to worry about right now.

I have a working solution to fix all of this, but the impact is too
large for both stable and 2.6.22. I'm going to send it out for review
in the next days.

This should go into 2.6.21.stable as well.

Hugh Dickins b9bae34025 page_mapping must avoid slub pages
Nicolas Ferre reports oops from flush_dcache_page() on ARM when using
SLUB: which reuses page->mapping as page->slab.  The page_mapping()
function, used by ARM and PA-RISC flush_dcache_page() implementations,
must not confuse SLUB pages with those which have page->mapping set.

Randolph Chung 05dc16d6a1 [PARISC] unwinder improvements
Add special-case handling for "handle_interruption" so that we can rewind
past the interruption. This is useful for seeing what caused a BUG() or
WARN_ON(); otherwise the unwind stops at the interruption.

Function expand_upwards() did not guarded against wrapping
around to address 0. This fixes the adjtimex02 testcase from

[expand_upwards is only used on parisc and ia64; it looks like it does
 the right thing on both. --kyle]

Jack Morgenstein c8681f1401 IB/mlx4: Correct max_srq_wr returned from mlx4_ib_query_device()
We need to keep a spare entry in the SRQ so that there always is a
next WQE available when posting receives (so that we can tell the
difference between a full queue and an empty queue).  So subtract 1
from the value HW gives us before reporting the limit on SRQ entries
to consumers.

Michael S. Tsirkin 82c3aca6ad IPoIB/cm: Fix interoperability when MTU doesn't match
IPoIB connected mode currently rejects a connection request unless the
supported MTU is >= the local netdevice MTU. This breaks
interoperability with implementations that might have tweaked
IPOIB_CM_MTU, and there's real no longer a reason to do so: this test
is just a leftover from when we did not tweak MTU per-connection.  Fix
this by making the test as permissive as possible.
