This patch adds dummy gameport_register_port, gameport_unregister_port
and gameport_set_phys functions to gameport.h for the case when a driver
can't use gameport.
This fixes the compilation of some OSS drivers with GAMEPORT=n without
the need to #if inside every single driver.
This patch also removes the non-working and now obsolete SOUND_GAMEPORT.
This patch is also an alternative solution for ALSA drivers with similar
problems (but #if's inside the drivers might have the advantage of
saving some more bytes of gameport is not available).
The only user-visible change is that for GAMEPORT=m the affected OSS
drivers are now allowed to be built statically (but they won't have
gameport support).

Jens Axboe pointed out that the iounmap() call in libata was occurring
too early, and some drivers (ahci, probably others) were using ioremap'd
memory after it had been unmapped.
The patch should address that problem by way of improving the libata
driver API:
* move ->host_stop() call after all ->port_stop() calls have occurred.
* create default helper function ata_host_stop(), and move iounmap()
call there.
* add ->host_stop_prewalk() hook, use it in sata_qstor.c (hi Mark).
sata_qstor appears to require the host-stop-before-port-stop ordering
that existed prior to applying the attached patch.
A new driver bnx2 for Broadcom bcm5706 is available.
The patch also includes new 1000BASE-X advertisement bit definitions in

In _spin_unlock_bh(lock):
do { \
_raw_spin_unlock(lock); \
preempt_enable(); \
local_bh_enable(); \
__release(lock); \
} while (0)
there is no reason for using preempt_enable() instead of a simple
preempt_enable_no_resched()
Since we know bottom halves are disabled, preempt_schedule() will always
return at once (preempt_count!=0), and hence preempt_check_resched() is
useless here...
This fixes it by using "preempt_enable_no_resched()" instead of the
"preempt_enable()", and thus avoids the useless preempt_check_resched()
just before re-enabling bottom halves.

The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that:
- Has never been used by any in-kernel drive;
- Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing;
- Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type;
- Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts;
- Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace.
This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well
as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.

This is version 18 of the Wireless Extensions. The main change
is that it adds all the necessary APIs for WPA and WPA2 support. This
work was entirely done by Jouni Malinen, so let's thank him for both
his hard work and deep expertise on the subject ;-)
This APIs obviously doesn't do much by itself and works in
concert with driver support (Jouni already sent you the HostAP
changes) and userspace (Jouni is updating wpa_supplicant). This is
also orthogonal with the ongoing work on in-kernel IEEE support (but
potentially useful).
The patch is attached, tested with 2.6.11. Normally, I would
ask you to push that directly in the kernel (99% of the patch has been
on my web page for ages and it does not affect non-WPA stuff), but
Jouni convinced me that it should bake a few weeks in wireless-2.6
first, so that other driver maintainers can get up to speed with it.

shutdown credential information. It creates a new message type
AUDIT_TERM_INFO, which is used by the audit daemon to query who issued the
shutdown.
It requires the placement of a hook function that gathers the information. The
hook is after the DAC & MAC checks and before the function returns. Racing
threads could overwrite the uid & pid - but they would have to be root and
have policy that allows signalling the audit daemon. That should be a
manageable risk.
The userspace component will be released later in audit 0.7.2. When it
receives the TERM signal, it queries the kernel for shutdown information.
When it receives it, it writes the message and exits. The message looks
like this:
type=DAEMON msg=auditd(1114551182.000) auditd normal halt, sending pid=2650

This patch adds support for a new class of DAC960 controllers. It's based
on the GPLed idac320 driver from IBM for Linux 2.4.18. That driver is a
fork of the 2.4.18 version of DAC960 that adds support for this new type of
controllers (internally called "GEM Series"), that differ from other DAC960
V2 firmware controllers only in the register offsets and removes support
for all others.
This patch instead integrates support for these controllers into the DAC960
driver.
Thanks to Anders Norrbring for pointing me to the idac320 driver and
testing this patch.
No Signed-Off: line because all code is either copy & pasted from IBM's

I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our

sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I
have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.
I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.
You can see result of the modified documentation build at

- generate the same code on little-endian and improved on big-endian.
- doesn't rely on lousy bitfields handling in gcc codegenerator.

So we drop the mess with union in there and simply use (unconditional) __u64

This patch adds a new function valid_signal() that tests if its argument is

- some code currently testing _NSIG directly has off-by-one errors.
Using this function instead avoids such errors.
- some code currently tests unsigned signal numbers for <0 which is
pointless and generates warnings when building with gcc -W. Using this
function instead avoids such warnings.
I considered various places to add this function but eventually settled on

The synchronize_kernel() primitive is used for quite a few different purposes:
waiting for RCU readers, waiting for NMIs, waiting for interrupts, and so on.
This makes RCU code harder to read, since synchronize_kernel() might or might
not have matching rcu_read_lock()s. This patch creates a new
synchronize_rcu() that is to be used for RCU readers and a new
synchronize_sched() that is used for the rest. These two new primitives
currently have the same implementation, but this is might well change with
additional real-time support. Both new primitives are GPL-only, the old
primitive is deprecated.

The attached patch moves the IRQ-related SA_xxx flags (namely, SA_PROBE,
SA_SAMPLE_RANDOM and SA_SHIRQ) from all the arch-specific headers to
linux/signal.h. This looks like a left-over after the irq-handling code
was consolidated. The code was moved to kernel/irq/*, but the flags are
still left per-arch.
Right now, adding a new IRQ flag to the arch-specific header, like this
patch does:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/alsa/alsa-driver/utils/patches/pcsp-kernel-2.6.10-03.diff?rev=1.1
no longer works, it breaks the compilation for all other arches, unless you
add that flag to all the other arch-specific headers too. So I think such
a clean-up makes sense.

Add a pair of rlimits for allowing non-root tasks to raise nice and rt
priorities. Defaults to traditional behavior. Originally written by
Chris Wright.
The patch implements a simple rlimit ceiling for the RT (and nice) priorities
a task can set. The rlimit defaults to 0, meaning no change in behavior by
default. A value of 50 means RT priority levels 1-50 are allowed. A value of
100 means all 99 privilege levels from 1 to 99 are allowed. CAP_SYS_NICE is
blanket permission.

GCC 2.95 uses __va_copy instead of va_copy. Handle it inside compiler.h
instead of in a casual file, and avoid the risk that this breaks with a newer
compiler (which it could do).

The specifications that talk about E820 map doesn't have an upper limit on
the number of e820 entries. But, today's kernel has a hard limit of 32.
With increase in memory size, we are seeing the number of E820 entries
reaching close to 32. Patch below bumps the number upto 128.
The patch changes the location of EDDBUF in zero-page (as it comes after E820).
As, EDDBUF is not used by boot loaders, this patch should not have any effect
on bootloader-setup code interface.
Patch covers both i386 and x86-64.
Tested on:
* grub booting bzImage
* lilo booting bzImage with EDID info enabled
* pxeboot of bzImage
Side-effect:
bss increases by ~ 2K and init.data increases by ~7.5K
on all systems, due to increase in size of static arrays.

This is a patch for counting the number of pages for bounce buffers. It's
shown in /proc/vmstat.
Currently, the number of bounce pages are not counted anywhere. So, if
there are many bounce pages, it seems that there are leaked pages. And
it's difficult for a user to imagine the usage of bounce pages. So, it's
meaningful to show # of bouce pages.

Mempools have 2 problems.
The first is that mempool_alloc can possibly get stuck in __alloc_pages
when they should opt to fail, and take an element from their reserved pool.
The second is that it will happily eat emergency PF_MEMALLOC reserves
instead of going to their reserved pools.
Fix the first by passing __GFP_NORETRY in the allocation calls in
mempool_alloc. Fix the second by introducing a __GFP_MEMPOOL flag which
directs the page allocator not to allocate from the reserve pool.

Address bug #4508: there's potential for wraparound in the various places
where we perform RLIMIT_AS checking.
(I'm a bit worried about acct_stack_growth(). Are we sure that vma->vm_mm is
always equal to current->mm? If not, then we're comparing some other
process's total_vm with the calling process's rlimits).

Attached is a new patch that solves the issue of getting valid credentials
into the LOGIN message. The current code was assuming that the audit context
had already been copied. This is not always the case for LOGIN messages.
To solve the problem, the patch passes the task struct to the function that
emits the message where it can get valid credentials.

We were calling ptrace_notify() after auditing the syscall and arguments,
but the debugger could have _changed_ them before the syscall was actually
invoked. Reorder the calls to fix that.
While we're touching ever call to audit_syscall_entry(), we also make it
take an extra argument: the architecture of the syscall which was made,
because some architectures allow more than one type of syscall.
Also add an explicit success/failure flag to audit_syscall_exit(), for
the benefit of architectures which return that in a condition register
rather than only returning a single register.
Change type of syscall return value to 'long' not 'int'.

We log strings from userspace, such as arguments to open(). These could
be formatted to contain \n followed by fake audit log entries. Provide
a function for logging such strings, which gives a hex dump when the
string contains anything but basic printable ASCII characters. Use it
