The current implementation uses a sequence of a cacheflush and a copy.
This is racy in case of a multithreaded debuggee and renders GDB
virtually unusable.

Aside this fixes a performance hog rendering access to /proc/cmdline very
slow and resulting in a enough cache stalls for the 34K AP/SP programming
model to make the bare metal code on the non-Linux VPE miss RT deadlines.

The main part of this patch was originally written by Ralf Baechle;
Atushi Nemoto did the the debugging.

CCISS was producing warnings about shifts being greater than the size of
the type and pointers being of incompatible type.  Turns out this is
because it's calling do_div on a 32-bit quantity.  Upon further
investigation, the sector_t total_size is being assigned to an int, and
then we're calling do_div on that int.  Obviously, sector_div is called for
here, and I took the chance to refactor the code a little.

Mistyped an ifdef CONFIG_CPUSETS - fixed.

I doubt that anyone ever noticed.  The impact of this typo was
that if someone:
 1) was using MPOL_BIND to force off node allocations
 2) while using cpusets to constrain memory placement
 3) when that cpuset was migrating that jobs memory
 4) while the tasks in that job were actively forking
then there was a rare chance that future allocations using
that MPOL_BIND policy would be node local, not off node.

The zonelist may contain zones of nodes that have not been bootstrapped and
we will oops if we try to allocate from those zones.  So check if the node
information for the slab and the node have been setup before attempting an
allocation.  If it has not been setup then skip that zone.

Usually we will not encounter this situation since the slab bootstrap code
avoids falling back before we have setup the respective nodes but we seem

This patch re-adds the __setup() additionally to the module_param_named().

Usually it would make sense getting rid of such an obsolete __setup() at

Found the problem, I believe: an object lesson in the need for great
caution using ++.

Since the ++ is used as post-increment, the increment is not included
in free_index, and so the added line effectively reverts the
increment.  The produced_index side has an analagous bug.

The following change corrects this:

o removed typedefs
o uint -> u32 conversions
o removed following defines:
  QE_SIZEOF_BD, BD_BUFFER_ARG, BD_BUFFER_CLEAR, BD_BUFFER,

- Match on type == "network" as well as compatible == "ucc_geth", as
  device_is_compatible() will only compare up to the length of the

The reason sky2 driver was locking up on transmit on the Yukon-FE chipset
is that it was misconfiguring the internal RAM buffer so the transmitter
and receiver were sharing the same space.

The code assumed there was 16K of RAM on Yukon-FE (taken from vendor driver
sk98lin which is even more f*cked up on this). Then it assigned based on that.
The giveaway was that the registers would only hold 9bits so both RX/TX
had 0..1ff for space. It is a wonder it worked at all!

This patch addresses this, and fixes an easily reproducible hang on Transmit.

By default route the 8254 over the 8259 and only disable
it on ATI boards where this causes double timer interrupts.

This should unbreak some Nvidia boards where the timer doesn't
seem to tick of it isn't enabled in the 8259. At least one
VIA board also seemed to have a little trouble with the disabled
8259.

For 2.6.20 we'll try both dynamically without black listing, but I think
for .19 this is the safer approach because it has been already well tested
in earlier kernels. This also makes the x86-64 behaviour the same
as i386.

Command line options can change all this of course.
