6f62768344 [PATCH] b44: fix eeprom endianess issue
This fixes eeprom read on big-endian architectures.

readw returns the data in CPU order.  With cpu_to_le16 we convert it to little
endian, because "ptr" is a pointer to a _byte_ arrray.  See the cast above.  A
byte array is little endian.

The bug is:

Reading u16 values with readw, casting them into an u8 array and accessing
this u8 array as an u8 (byte) array.  The correct fix is to swap the
CPU-ordering value returned by readw into little endian, as the u8 array is
little endian.

This compiles to nothing on little endian hardware (so it does not change b44
code on LE hardware), but _fixes_ code on BE hardware.

pt_regs * and does set_irq_regs(); m68k_handle_int() doesn't get pt_regs

Places where we used to call m68k_handle_int() recursively with the same
pt_regs have simply lost the second argument, the rest is switched to
__m68k_handle_int().

The rest of patch is just dropping pt_regs * where needed.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

2f614fe04f [netdrvr] b44: handle excessive multicast groups
If there are more than B44_MCAST_TABLE_SIZE groups in the dev->mc_list,
it will only listen to the first B44_MCAST_TABLE_SIZE that it sees.

This change makes the driver go into RXCONFIG_ALLMULTI mode if there
are more than B44_MCAST_TABLE_SIZE groups being subscribed to, similar
to other network drivers.

39984a9fad [PATCH] bonding: fix deadlock on high loads in bond_alb_monitor()
In bond_alb_monitor the bond->curr_slave_lock write lock is taken
and then dev_set_promiscuity maybe called which can take some time,
depending on the network HW. If a network IRQ for this card come in
the softirq handler maybe try to deliver more packets which end up in
a request to the read lock of bond->curr_slave_lock -> deadlock.
This issue was found by a test lab during network stress tests, this patch
disable the softirq handler for this case and solved the issue.

751ae21c6c [PATCH] ibmveth: fix int rollover panic
This patch fixes a nasty bug that has been sitting there since the
very first versions of the driver, but is generating a panic because
we changed the number of 2K buffers for 2.6.16.

The consumer_index and producer_index are u32's that get incremented
on every buffer emptied and replenished respectively.  We use
the {producer,consumer}_index mod'ed with the size of the pool to
pick out an entry in the free_map.  The problem happens when the
u32 rolls over and the number of the buffers in the pool is not a
perfect divisor of 2^32.  i.e. if the number of 2K buffers is 0x300,
before the consumer_index rolls over,  our index to the free map =
0xffffffff mod 0x300 = 0xff.  The next time a buffer is emptied, we
want the index to the free map to be 0x100, but 0x0 mod 0x300 is 0x0.

This patch assigns the mod'ed result back to the consumer and producer
indexes so that they never roll over.  The second chunk of the patch
covers the unlikely case where the consumer_index has just been reset
to 0x0 and the hypervisor is not able to accept that buffer.

This patch changes the name of the proc file for each ibmveth adapter
from the network device name to the slot number in the virtual bus.

The proc file is created when the device is probed, so a change
in the name of the device will not be reflected in the name of the
proc file giving problems when identifying and removing the adapter.
The slot number is a property that does not change through the life
of the adapter so we use that instead.

4347ef15f7 [PATCH] ibmveth: kdump interrupt fix
This patch fixes a race that panics the kernel when opening the
device after a kdump.  Without this patch there is a window where the
hypervisor can send an interrupt before all the structures for the
kdump ibmveth module are ready (because the hypervisor is not aware
that the partition crashed and that the virtual driver is reloading).
We close this window by disabling the interrupts before registering
the adapter to the hypervisor.

This patch depends on the "ibmveth: Harden driver initilisation" patch.

This patch has been floating around for a while now, Santi originally

After a kexec the ibmveth driver will fail when trying to register
with the Hypervisor because the previous kernel has not unregistered.

So if the registration fails, we unregister and then try again.

We don't unconditionally unregister, because we don't want to disturb
the regular code path for 99% of users.

609d7fa956 [PATCH] file: modify struct fown_struct to use a struct pid
File handles can be requested to send sigio and sigurg to processes.  By
tracking the destination processes using struct pid instead of pid_t we make
the interface safe from all potential pid wrap around problems.

de897881e4 drivers/net/wireless/{airo,ipw2100}: fix error handling bugs
airo:
* fix oops, if !CONFIG_PROC_FS (create_proc_entry always returns NULL)

* handle pci_register_driver() failure.  if it fails, we really do
  want to exit, rather than (as a comment indicates) return success
  because-we-are-a-library.

* #if 0 have_isa_dev variable, which is assigned a value but never used

ipw2100:
* handle sysfs_create_group() failure

* handle driver_create_file() failure

5c87579e65 [PATCH] maximum latency tracking infrastructure
Add infrastructure to track "maximum allowable latency" for power saving
policies.

The reason for adding this infrastructure is that power management in the
idle loop needs to make a tradeoff between latency and power savings
(deeper power save modes have a longer latency to running code again).  The
code that today makes this tradeoff just does a rather simple algorithm;
however this is not good enough: There are devices and use cases where a
lower latency is required than that the higher power saving states provide.
 An example would be audio playback, but another example is the ipw2100
wireless driver that right now has a very direct and ugly acpi hook to
disable some higher power states randomly when it gets certain types of
error.

The proposed solution is to have an interface where drivers can

* announce the maximum latency (in microseconds) that they can deal with
* modify this latency
* give up their constraint

and a function where the code that decides on power saving strategy can
query the current global desired maximum.

This patch has a user of each side: on the consumer side, ACPI is patched
to use this, on the producer side the ipw2100 driver is patched.

A generic maximum latency is also registered of 2 timer ticks (more and you
lose accurate time tracking after all).

While the existing users of the patch are x86 specific, the infrastructure
is not.  I'd like to ask the arch maintainers of other architectures if the
infrastructure is generic enough for their use (assuming the architecture
has such a tradeoff as concept at all), and the sound/multimedia driver
owners to look at the driver facing API to see if this is something they
can use.
