      [PATCH] dell_rbu: fix error check · 6897083a
      Akinobu Mita 提交于
      platform_device_register_simple() returns error code as pointer when it
      fails.  The return value should be checked by IS_ERR().

      [PATCH] Update udf documentation to reflect current state of read/write support · 55aa601e
      Phillip Susi 提交于
      Change Documentation/filesystems/udf.txt from saying that read/write mounts
      on cd media are not supported to instead state the current level of
      support.  Specifically that it works fine on dvd+rw media and can be made
      to work on cd-rw media via the pktcdvd device.

      Bryan O'Sullivan 提交于
      The PCI Express and Hypertransport chip-specific source files should only
      be built when the kernel has the capability of actually compiling them.
      
      This fixes the driver build on, for example, ia64.

      On rename, for both the old and new lower dentry objects, eCryptfs is
      missing a dput on the lower parent directory dentry.  This patch will
      prevent the BUG() at fs/dcache.c:613 from being hit after renaming a file
      inside eCryptfs and then doing a umount on the lower filesystem.

       <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
      
      The root cause is that some irq_chip variables, especially ia64_msi_chip,
      initiate their memeber end to point to NULL. __do_IRQ doesn't check
      if irq_chip->end is null and just calls it after processing the interrupt.
      
      As irq_chip->end is called at many places, so I fix it by reinitiating
      irq_chip->end to dummy_irq_chip.end, e.g., a noop function.

      The root cause is the device struct is initialized twice.
      
      If the device is allocated dynamically by platform_device_alloc,
      platform_device_alloc will initialize struct device, then,
      platform_device_add should be used to register the device.
      
      The difference between platform_device_register and platform_device_add is
      platform_device_register will initiate the device while platform_device_add
      won't.

      [PATCH] x86-64: Fix race in exit_idle · 9446868b
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      When another interrupt happens in exit_idle the exit idle notifier
      could be called an incorrect number of times.
      
      Add a test_and_clear_bit_pda and use it handle the bit
      atomically against interrupts to avoid this.

      [PATCH] x86-64: Fix vgetcpu when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is disabled · 8c131af1
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      The vgetcpu per CPU initialization previously relied on CPU hotplug
      events for all CPUs to initialize the per CPU state. That only
      worked only on kernels with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU enabled.  On the
      others some CPUs didn't get their state initialized properly
      and vgetcpu wouldn't work.
      
      Change the initialization sequence to instead run in a normal
      initcall (which runs after the normal CPU bootup) and initialize
      all running CPUs there. Later hotplug CPUs are still handled
      with an hotplug notifier.
      
      This actually simplifies the code somewhat.

      [PATCH] x86: Add acpi_user_timer_override option for Asus boards · fa18f477
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      Timer overrides are normally disabled on Nvidia board because
      they are commonly wrong, except on new ones with HPET support.
      Unfortunately there are quite some Asus boards around that
      don't have HPET, but need a timer override.
      
      We don't know yet how to handle this transparently,
      but at least add a command line option to force the timer override
      and let them boot.

      x86_64: setup saved_max_pfn correctly
      
      2.6.19-rc4 has broken CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP support on x86_64. It is impossible
      to read out the kernel contents from /proc/vmcore because saved_max_pfn is set
      to zero instead of the max_pfn value before the user map is setup.
      
      This happens because saved_max_pfn is initialized at parse_early_param() time,
      and at this time no active regions have been registered. save_max_pfn is setup
      from e820_end_of_ram(), more exact find_max_pfn_with_active_regions() which
      returns 0 because no regions exist.
      
      This patch fixes this by registering before and removing after the call
      to e820_end_of_ram().

      [PATCH] x86-64: shorten the x86_64 boot setup GDT to what the comment says · 51d67a48
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Stephen Tweedie, Herbert Xu, and myself have been struggling with a very
      nasty bug in Xen.  But it also pointed out a small bug in the x86_64
      kernel boot setup.
      
      The GDT limit being setup by the initial bzImage code when entering into
      protected mode is way too big.  The comment by the code states that the
      size of the GDT is 2048, but the actual size being set up is much bigger
      (32768). This happens simply because of one extra '0'.
      
      Instead of setting up a 0x800 size, 0x8000 is set up.  On bare metal this
      is fine because the CPU wont load any segments unless  they are
      explicitly used.  But unfortunately, this breaks Xen on vmx FV, since it
      (for now) blindly loads all the segments into the VMCS if they are less
      than the gdt limit. Since the real mode segments are around 0x3000, we are
      getting junk into the VMCS and that later causes an exception.
      
      Stephen Tweedie has written up a patch to fix the Xen side and will be
      submitting that to those folks. But that doesn't excuse the GDT limit
      being a magnitude too big.
