266aa1c4b3 [WATCHDOG] driver-for-ibm-automatic-server-restart-watchdog-fix2.patch
The device/watchdog has a fixed timeout/heartbeat.
So we don't support the WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT ioctl call
and we also may not set the WDIOF_SETTIMEOUT flag.

cc90ef0f9b [WATCHDOG] i6300esb.patch
I wrote earlier to the list[1] asking for a driver for the watchdog
included in the 6300ESB chipset.  I got a 2.4 driver via private email
from Ross Biro which I've changed into what I hope resembles a 2.6
driver (which was done by looking a lot at the watchdog drivers
already in the 2.6 tree).

I've attached the result, and I'm hoping to get some feedback on the
coding as a first step.  I can't actually test it on the hardware
right now as I won't have physical access until April. So my own tests
have been limited to "compiles-without-warnings" and
"can-be-insmodded-in-other-machine-without-oops".

3b41dc1a3c [PATCH] console: Fix buffer copy on vc resize
On a vc resize, the contents of the old screen buffer are transferred to the
new screenbuffer.  If the new screenbuffer is smaller than the old one, only
the contents from the bottom are copied to new.  If the contents of the old
buffer are located at the top, then the contents will not be copied to the new
buffer resulting in a blank screen.

This bug will happen only if the vc in question is not in the foreground.
Doing an fbset -a or con2fbmap will trigger this bug.

To fix this problem, base the start of the copy from the location of the
current cursor.  If the cursor is near the top of the buffer, copy the
contents at the top, and if the cursor is near the bottom of the buffer, then
copy the contents at the bottom.  In the unlikely case where the new row size
is greater than 2x smaller than the old one, and the cursor is in the middle,
copy 1/2 screenful from the top and bottom of the cursor position.

badf16621c [PATCH] files: break up files struct
In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must
be updated atomically.  Instead of ensuring this through too many memory
barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure.  This
patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate
structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct.  It also changes all
the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro.  Subsequent
applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.

ff55fe2075 [PATCH] pty_chars_in_buffer oops fix
The idea of this patch is to lock both sides of a ptmx/pty pair during line
discipline changing.  This is needed to ensure that say a poll on one side of
the pty doesn't occur while the line discipline is actively being changed.
This resulted in an oops reported on lkml, see:

	http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111342171410005&w=2

A 'hacky' approach was previously implmemented which served to eliminate the
poll vs.  line discipline changing race.  However, this patch takes a more
general approach to the issue.  The patch only adds locking on a less often
used path, the line-discipline changing path, as opposed to locking the
ptmx/pty pair on read/write/poll paths.

The patch below, takes both ldisc locks in either order b/c the locks are both
taken under the same spinlock().  I thought about locking the ptmx/pty
separately, such as master always first but that introduces a 3 way deadlock.
For example, process 1 does a blocking read on the slave side.  Then, process
2 does an ldisc change on the slave side, which acquires the master ldisc lock
but not the slave's.  Finally, process 3 does a write which blocks on the
process 2's ldisc reference.

This patch does introduce some changes in semantics.  For example, a line
discipline change on side 'a' of a ptmx/pty pair, will now wait for a
read/write to complete on the other side, or side 'b'.  The current behavior
is to simply wait for any read/writes on only side 'a', not both sides 'a' and
'b'.  I think this behavior makes sense, but I wanted to point it out.

I've tested the patch with a bunch of read/write/poll while changing the line
discipline out from underneath.

This patch obviates the need for the above "hide the problem" patch.

The IPMI power control function proc_write_chassctrl was badly written, it

little more logical.

ipmi_poweroff driver cannot drive these systems.  With this patch, they

3ae0e0f9b1 [PATCH] ipmi: OEM flag handling and hacks for some Dell machines
The ipmi driver does not have a way to handle firmware-generated events
which have the OEM[012] Data Available flags set.  In such a case, the
SMS_ATN bit may never get cleared by firmware, leaving the driver looping
infinitely but never able to make any progress.

This patch first simplifies storage and use of the data returned from an
IPMI Get Device ID command.

It then creates a new per-OEM handler hook, which should know how to handle
events with the OEM[012] Data Available flags set.  It then uses this to
implement a workaround for IPMI 1.5-capable Dell PowerEdge servers which
are susceptable to setting the OEM[012] Data Available flags when the
driver can't handle it.

96803820b3 [PATCH] hpet: fix drift and url
The HPET driver is using a parts per second drift factor instead of the
standard parts per million drift the time interpolator code expects.  This
patch fixes that problem and updates the URL for the HPET spec.

414edcd32a [PATCH] vt: fix possible memory corruption in complement_pos
Based on a patch from Andr Pereira de Almeida <andre@cachola.com.br>

It might be possible for the saved pointer (*p) to become invalid in
between vc_resizes, so saving the screen offset instead of the screen
pointer is saner.

This bug is very hard to trigger though, but Andre probably did, if he's
submitting this patch.  Anyway, with Andre's patch, it's still possible for
the offsets to be still illegal, if the new screen size is smaller than the
old one.  So I've also added checks if the offsets are still within the
screenbuffer size.

2d237c6365 [PATCH] Console blanking locking fix
I've had WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED warnings when calling TIOCLINUX
TIOCL_BLANKSCREEN and TIOCL_UNBLANKSCREEN.

(I'm blind and I use a braille display.  I use those functions to blank my
laptop's screen so people don't read it, and hopefully to conserve power.)

The warnings are from these places:
do_blank_screen at drivers/char/vt.c:2754 (Not tainted)
save_screen at drivers/char/vt.c:575 (Not tainted)
do_unblank_screen at drivers/char/vt.c:2822 (Not tainted)
set_palette at drivers/char/vt.c:2908 (Not tainted)

At a glance I would think the following patch ought to fix that.  Tested on
one machine.  Could you please tell me if this is correct and/or forward
the patch where appropriate...

d2052c1676 [PATCH] sonypi SPIC initialisation fix
Newer Sony VAIO models (VGN-S480, VGN-S460, VGN-S3XP etc) use a new method to
initialize the SPIC device.  The new way to initialize (and disable) the
device comes directly from the AML code in the _CRS, _SRS and _DIS methods
from the DSDT table.  This patch adds support for the new models.
