This patch fixes up some lose ends left over from the last x86-64 jumbo merge.
- make it compile again. ia32_ioctl was referencing IDE ioctls that got
remove in a merge race
- Use the memset/FXRSTOR way to initialize the FPU, as discussed.
- Fix semctl/shmctl ABI (thanks to Andreas Schwab)
- Other minor fixes.
This fixes compile errors. It has been tested with a weekend of Bonnie++ 8GB
runs on a RAID0 setup at the OSDL. This was built against and tested on 2.5.8
and applies cleanly to 2.5.9.
LSI told me they have a version 2.0 of the driver in development but
it would be really nice to have the dang thing working now ;-)

[PATCH] 2.5.8 IDE 40
- Make the ide-cd driver usable again in DMA mode by adapting it to the TCQ
related request handling changes and fixing some other minor stuff related to
this. This patch is ugly like hell I know. Cleanup will follow separately.
It was hard enough to make this going agian at all.
After some source investigations I discovered a harmless mistake:
The description of the usb_control_msg(...) function says
it returns 0, or less than 0 if an error occured, but
the usb_internal_control_msg returns length, which is sometimes >0
(success) or <0 if error.

[PATCH] PATCH: 2.5.8 ehci, submit errors
It fixes problems with interrupt transfers, which I think that
nobody else has run into (or I'd surely have heard of it :).
Looks like not many folk are using USB 2.0 hubs yet.
- wasn't checking enough of the periodic schedule to
detect bandwidth overcommit (would BUG out)
- frames to uframes is rightshift 3, not 8 :)
- properly cleans up (no oops!) after certain rare errors
in the interrupt submit path (just my luck to hit one)
- use that cleanup to bypass some old implementation
shortcuts in the control and bulk submit paths
- there are also some other minor updates/cleanups
general cleanups:
- removed commented out function prototypes
- removed duplicate function prototypes
- removed unneeded #include
- added named initializers
- merged lots of the individual device structures into general 1, 2, and 4 port structures.

[PATCH] SAK messages
vda@port.imtp.ilyichevsk.odessa.ua: SAK messages:
I use SAK from time to time when I have problems with hung processes.
Sometimes it is difficult to figure out what was being killed and why.
For example, Midnight Commander contains a bug: it holds fd#3 open to
the tty. It prevented me from daemonizing processes (like X) - they
died upon SAK.
This little patch makes SAK tell whom and why it kills. Tested.

If you type, `make TAGS' in the top-level of a kernel tree that's been

distinguishes its control files with an s. prefix rather than using a

[PATCH] (3/5) sane procfs/dcache interaction
- sane dentry retention. Namely, we don't kill /proc/<pid> dentries at the
first opportunity (as the current tree does). Instead we do the following:
* ->d_delete() kills it only if process is already dead.
* all ->lookup() in proc/base.c end with checking if process is still
alive and unhash if it isn't.
* proc_pid_lookup() (lookup for /proc/<pid>) caches reference to dentry
in task_struct. It's _not_ counted in ->d_count.
* ->d_iput() resets said reference to NULL.
* release_task() (burying a zombie) checks if there is a cached
reference and if there is - shrinks the subtree.
* tasklist_lock is used for exclusion.
That way we are guaranteed that after release_task() all dentries in
/proc/<pid> will go away as soon as possible; OTOH, before release_task()
we have normal retention policy - they go away under memory pressure with
the same rules as for dentries on any other fs.

[PATCH] buffer_head leak
Fix buffer-head leak on truncate race.
The reason why it hadn't been triggered left right and center is that we
step on that path only when partial truncate blows away an indirect
block shared between truncated and remaining areas _and_ races with
ext2_get_block() in the beginning of said area. IOW, we need
* indirect block with hole in the beginning
* get_block starting to read that block
* truncate killing everything past the hole (and thus freeing indirect
block in question)
* get_block completing the read and noticing that block is actually
gone.
OK... IMO we should do that brelse() outside of the loop.
This updates the ov511 driver to the latest stable version (1.60).
Summary of changes:
- Remove palette conversion and related code
- Full OV518 support (except for color), initial OV518+ support
- Improved OV6620 quality (Credit: Alexandre F.)
- ov51x_init_isoc() should exit if usb_submit_urb() fails
- ISO completion handler should only issue warning if bad data is received
- Added "mirror" module parameter; reverses image horizontally
- Changed USB control transaction fields to match Windows driver
- New decompression module locking (decomp_ops->owner), per Greg's advice
- EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOVERS => EXPORT_SYMBOL
- New devices: Lifeview USB Live TV PAL/SECAM and PAL D/K+B/G
- Disabled buf_timeout feature. It was calling vfree() in interrupt
context, which is illegal. Memory is deallocated immediately on close().
- Most sensors thought to be OV7620AE were actually OV76BE. Changed code
to reflect this, and emit a warning if an OV7620AE is encountered.
- Miscellaneous cleanups and bug fixes
Make the PCMCIA client drivers depend on hisax.o,
use the right CONFIG_ variable for hisax submodules,
handle the case of built-in hisax, modular hisax submodules.
[PATCH] x86-64 architecture specific sync for 2.5.8
This patch brings 2.5.8 in sync with the x86-64 2.4 development tree again
(excluding device drivers)
It has lots of bug fixes and enhancements. It only touches architecture
specific files.
- Sync with 2.5.8
- SMP/APIC supported now.
- Module loading works now.
- Time keeping bugs fixed.
- entry.S streamlined and some bugs fixed.
- modify_ldt works now
- mostly rewritten FPU support (including FXRSTOR for initial FPU
initialization based on the initial state)
- 32bit emulation enhanced and bugs fixed.
- rewrote mm initialization and lots of cleanups in the page table handling
__PAGE_OFFSET is now moved to 0x10000000000 and some vmalloc/ioremap
problems have been fixed. They have an own PML4 slot now.
- WCHAN reporting support for RIP (but not RSP)
- Lots of various other bug fixes and cleanups.
Currently broken:
- ACPI
- MTRR
It needs some other bugfixes outside architecture specific code. I sent
them all in separate mail.
[PATCH] Fix console initialization deadlock for x86-64
When vt_init happens to run before the keyboard is initialized (the order is random
because they're both different initcalls) then set_leds raises an not yet enabled
tasklet. This causes an endless loop on the first schedule() call because the tasklet
handling cannot handle raised but disabled tasklets.
This patch just does not do set_leds in virtual terminal initialization to avoid that.
It is done later anyways.
