I'd like to assign NULL to kfree()d members of a structure.  I can't do
that without ugly casting (see the PXA patch) when the structure pointed to
is const-qualified.  I don't really see a reason why the cleanup method
isn't allowed to alter the object it should clean up.  :-)

No, I didn't test the PXA patch, but I verified that the NULL-assignment
doesn't stop me from doing rmmod/insmodding my own spi_bitbang-based
driver.

Currently, XFS uses BH_PrivateStart for flagging unwritten extent state in a
bufferhead.  Recently, I found the long standing mmap/unwritten extent
conversion bug, and it was to do with partial page invalidation not clearing
the unwritten flag from bufferheads attached to the page but beyond EOF.  See
here for a full explaination:

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00196.html

The solution I have checked into the XFS dev tree involves duplicating code
from block_invalidatepage to clear the unwritten flag from the bufferhead(s),
and then calling block_invalidatepage() to do the rest.

Christoph suggested that this would be better solved by pushing the unwritten
flag into the common buffer head flags and just adding the call to
discard_buffer():

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2006-12/msg00239.html

This patch contains two fixes for RapisIO enumeration logic:

1. Fix enumeration in configurations with multiple switches. The patch adds:

   a. Enumeration of an empty switch.  Empty switch is a switch that
      does not have any endpoint devices attached to it (except host device
      or previous switch in a chain).  New code assigns a phony destination
      ID associated with the switch and sets up corresponding routes.

   b. Adds a second pass to the enumeration to setup routes to
      devices discovered after switch was scanned.

2. Fix enumeration failure when riohdid parameter has non-zero value.
   Current version fails to setup response path to the host when it has
   destination ID other that 0.

Extend the set of "__attribute__" shortcut macros, and remove identical
(and now superfluous) definitions from a couple of source files.

based on a page at robert love's blog:

	http://rlove.org/log/2005102601

extend the set of shortcut macros defined in compiler-gcc.h with the
following:

#define __packed                       __attribute__((packed))
#define __weak                         __attribute__((weak))
#define __naked                        __attribute__((naked))
#define __noreturn                     __attribute__((noreturn))
#define __pure                         __attribute__((pure))
#define __aligned(x)                   __attribute__((aligned(x)))
#define __printf(a,b)                  __attribute__((format(printf,a,b)))

Once these are in place, it's up to subsystem maintainers to decide if they
want to take advantage of them.  there is already a strong precedent for
using shortcuts like this in the source tree.

The ones that might give people pause are "__aligned" and "__printf", but
shortcuts for both of those are already in use, and in some ways very
confusingly.  note the two very different definitions for a macro named
"ALIGNED":

  drivers/net/sgiseeq.c:#define ALIGNED(x) ((((unsigned long)(x)) + 0xf) & ~(0xf))
  drivers/scsi/ultrastor.c:#define ALIGNED(x) __attribute__((aligned(x)))

also:

  include/acpi/platform/acgcc.h:
    #define ACPI_PRINTF_LIKE(c) __attribute__ ((__format__ (__printf__, c, c+1)))

Given the precedent, then, it seems logical to at least standardize on a
consistent set of these macros.

This is an "RTC framework" driver for the "CMOS" RTCs which are standard on
PCs and some other platforms.  That's MC146818 compatible silicon.
Advantages of this vs.  drivers/char/rtc.c (use one _or_ the other, only
one will be able to claim the RTC irq) include:

 - This leverages both the new RTC framework and the driver model; both
   PNPACPI and platform device modes are supported.  (A separate patch
   creates a platform device on PCs where PNPACPI isn't configured.)

 - It supports common extensions like longer alarms.  (A separate patch
   exports that information from ACPI through platform_data.)

 - Likewise, system wakeup events use "real driver model support", with
   policy control via sysfs "wakeup" attributes and and using normal rtc
   ioctls to manage wakeup.  (Patch in the works.  The ACPI hooks are
   known; /proc/acpi/alarm can vanish.  Making it work with EFI will
   be a minor challenge to someone with e.g. a MiniMac.)

It's not yet been tested on non-x86 systems, without ACPI, or with HPET.
And the RTC framework will surely have teething pains on "mainstream"
PC-based systems (though must embedded Linux systems use it heavily), not
limited to sorting out the "/dev/rtc0" issue (udev easily tweaked).  Also,
the ALSA rtctimer code doesn't use the new RTC API.

Otherwise, this should be a no-known-regressions replacement for the old
drivers/char/rtc.c driver, and should help the non-embedded distros (and
the new timekeeping code) start to switch to the framework.

Note also that any systems using "rtc-m48t86" are candidates to switch over
to this more functional driver; the platform data is different, and the way
bytes are read is different, but otherwise those chips should be compatible.

The patch to identify AIX disks and ignore them has caused at least one
machine to fail to find the root partition on 2.6.19. The patch is:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/31/117

The problem is some disk formatters do not blow away the first 4 bytes
of the disk. If the disk we are installing to used to have AIX on it,
then the first 4 bytes will still have IBMA in EBCDIC.

The install in question was debian etch. Im not sure what the best fix
is, perhaps the AIX detection code could check more than the first 4
bytes.

The whole partition info for primary partitions is in this block:

  dd if=/dev/sdb count=$(( 4 * 16 )) bs=1 skip=$(( 0x1be ))

All other data do not matter, beside the 0x55aa marker at the end of the

The 32bit and 64bit PARISC Linux kernels suffers from the problem, that the
gettimeofday() call sometimes returns non-monotonic times.

The easiest way to fix this, is to drop the PARISC-specific implementation
and switch over to the generic TIME_INTERPOLATION framework.

But in order to make it even compile on 32bit PARISC, the patch below which
touches the generic Linux code, is mandatory.

More information and the full patch with the parisc-specific changes is included in this thread: http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2006-December/031003.html

As far as I could see, this patch does not change anything for the existing
architectures which use this framework (IA64 and SPARC64), since "cycles_t"
is defined there as unsigned 64bit-integer anyway (which then makes this
patch a no-change for them).

Allow taint flags to be set from userspace by writing to

when userspace has potentially done something dangerous that might
compromise the kernel.  This will allow support personnel to ask further
questions about what may have caused the user taint flag to have been set.

For example, they might examine the logs of the realtime JVM to see if the
Java program has used the really silly, stupid, dangerous, and
completely-non-portable direct access to physical memory feature which MUST
be implemented according to the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ).

The PNP framework doesn't export "pnp_bus_type", which is an unfortunate

Note that per advice from Arjan, the "export" scope has been been minimized to
avoid the hundred-plus bytes needed to support access from modules.  In this
case, the symbol is only needed by statically linked kernel code that lives

unplug isn't supported by this patch.  The thought was that at minumum a new
buffer needs to be added when a cpu comes up, but it wasn't worth the effort
to remove buffers on cpu down since they'd be freed soon anyway when the
