Drop the separate client name for the LM78-J chip. This is really
only a later revision of the LM78, with almost no difference and
no difference the driver handles in any case.
This was the only client name that had a dash in it, and special care
had to be taken in libsensors because of it. As we plan to write a new
library soon, I'd like to get rid of this exception before we do.
As a nice side effect, it saves 876 bytes in lm78.ko.

PowerPC 40x and Book-E processors support a watchdog timer at the processor
core level. The timer has implementation dependent timeout frequencies
that can be configured by software.
One the first Watchdog timeout we get a critical exception. It is left to
board specific code to determine what should happen at this point. If
nothing is done and another timeout period expires the processor may
attempt to reset the machine.
Command line parameters:
wdt=0 : disable watchdog (default)
wdt=1 : enable watchdog
wdt_period=N : N sets the value of the Watchdog Timer Period.
The Watchdog Timer Period meaning is implementation specific. Check
User Manual for the processor for more details.

show_smap calls first show_map and then prints its additional information to
the seq_file. show_map checks if all it has to print fits into the buffer and
if yes marks the current vma as written. While that is correct for show_map
it is not for show_smap. Here the vma should be marked as written only after
the additional information is also written.
The attached patch cures the problem. It moves the functionality of the
show_map function to a new function show_map_internal that is called with an
additional struct mem_size_stats* argument. Then show_map calls
show_map_internal with NULL as struct mem_size_stats* whereas show_smap calls
it with a real pointer. Now the final
if (m->count < m->size) /* vma is copied successfully */
m->version = (vma != get_gate_vma(task))? vma->vm_start: 0;
is done only if the whole entry fits into the buffer.

The idea of a swap_device_lock per device, and a swap_list_lock over them all,
is appealing; but in practice almost every holder of swap_device_lock must
already hold swap_list_lock, which defeats the purpose of the split.
The only exceptions have been swap_duplicate, valid_swaphandles and an
untrodden path in try_to_unuse (plus a few places added in this series).
valid_swaphandles doesn't show up high in profiles, but swap_duplicate does
demand attention. However, with the hold time in get_swap_pages so much
reduced, I've not yet found a load and set of swap device priorities to show
even swap_duplicate benefitting from the split. Certainly the split is mere
overhead in the common case of a single swap device.
So, replace swap_list_lock and swap_device_lock by spinlock_t swap_lock
(generally we seem to prefer an _ in the name, and not hide in a macro).
If someone can show a regression in swap_duplicate, then probably we should
add a hashlock for the swap_map entries alone (shorts being anatomic), so as
to help the case of the single swap device too.

The start_tx and stop_tx methods were passed a flag to indicate
whether the start/stop was from the tty start/stop callbacks, and
some drivers used this flag to decide whether to ask the UART to
immediately stop transmission (where the UART supports such a
feature.)
There are other cases when we wish this to occur - when CTS is
lowered, or if we change from soft to hard flow control and CTS
is inactive. In these cases, this flag was false, and we would
allow the transmitter to drain before stopping.
There is really only one case where we want to let the transmitter
drain before disabling, and that's when we run out of characters
to send.
Hence, re-jig the start_tx and stop_tx methods to eliminate this
flag, and introduce new functions for the special "disable and
allow transmitter to drain" case.

inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:
* dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
* dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
stat structures.
* dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals?
inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
notification:
* inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
* inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
you were watching is on was unmounted."
* inotify can watch directories or files.
Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.

I updated this to remove unnecessary variable initialization, make

I updated this to change pirq_table_addr to a long, and to add a warning
msg if the PIRQ table wasn't found at the specified address, as per thread
with Matthew Wilcox.
In our hardware situation, the BIOS is unable to store or generate it's PIRQ
table in the F0000h-100000h standard range. This patch adds a pci kernel
parameter, pirqaddr to allow the bootloader (or BIOS based loader) to inform
the kernel where the PIRQ table got stored. A beneficial side-effect is that,
if one's BIOS uses a static address each time for it's PIRQ table, then
pirqaddr can be used to avoid the $pirq search through that address block each

The situation: VFS inode X on a mounted ntfs volume is dirty. For
same inode X, the ntfs_inode is dirty and thus corresponding on-disk
inode, i.e. mft record, which is in a dirty PAGE_CACHE_PAGE belonging
to the table of inodes, i.e. $MFT, inode 0.
What happens:
Process 1: sys_sync()/umount()/whatever... calls
__sync_single_inode() for $MFT -> do_writepages() -> write_page for
the dirty page containing the on-disk inode X, the page is now locked
-> ntfs_write_mst_block() which clears PageUptodate() on the page to
prevent anyone else getting hold of it whilst it does the write out.
This is necessary as the on-disk inode needs "fixups" applied before
the write to disk which are removed again after the write and
PageUptodate is then set again. It then analyses the page looking
for dirty on-disk inodes and when it finds one it calls
ntfs_may_write_mft_record() to see if it is safe to write this
on-disk inode. This then calls ilookup5() to check if the
corresponding VFS inode is in icache(). This in turn calls ifind()
which waits on the inode lock via wait_on_inode whilst holding the
global inode_lock.
Process 2: pdflush results in a call to __sync_single_inode for the
same VFS inode X on the ntfs volume. This locks the inode (I_LOCK)
then calls write-inode -> ntfs_write_inode -> map_mft_record() ->
read_cache_page() for the page (in page cache of table of inodes
$MFT, inode 0) containing the on-disk inode. This page has
PageUptodate() clear because of Process 1 (see above) so
read_cache_page() blocks when it tries to take the page lock for the
page so it can call ntfs_read_page().
Thus Process 1 is holding the page lock on the page containing the
on-disk inode X and it is waiting on the inode X to be unlocked in
ifind() so it can write the page out and then unlock the page.
And Process 2 is holding the inode lock on inode X and is waiting for
the page to be unlocked so it can call ntfs_readpage() or discover
that Process 1 set PageUptodate() again and use the page.
Thus we have a deadlock due to ifind() waiting on the inode lock.
The solution: The fix is to use the newly introduced
ilookup5_nowait() which does not wait on the inode's lock and hence
avoids the deadlock. This is safe as we do not care about the VFS
inode and only use the fact that it is in the VFS inode cache and the
fact that the vfs and ntfs inodes are one struct in memory to find
the ntfs inode in memory if present. Also, the ntfs inode has its
own locking so it does not matter if the vfs inode is locked.

This patch contains the documentation for the kexec based crash dump tool.
Quick kdump-howto
================================================================
1) Download and build kexec-tools.
2) Download and build the latest kexec/kdump (-mm) kernel patchset.
Two kernels need to be built in order to get this feature working.
A) First kernel:
a) Enable "kexec system call" feature:
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
b) Physical load address (use default):
CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x100000
c) Enable "sysfs file system support":
CONFIG_SYSFS=y
d) Boot into first kernel with the command line parameter "crashkernel=Y@X":
For example: "crashkernel=64M@16M".
B) Second kernel:
a) Enable "kernel crash dumps" feature:
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
b) Physical load addreess, use same load address as X in "crashkernel"
kernel parameter in d) above, e.g., 16 MB or 0x1000000.
CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x1000000
c) Enable "/proc/vmcore support" (Optional, in Pseudo filesystems).
CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE=y
3) Boot into the first kernel.
4) Load the second kernel to be booted using:
kexec -p <second-kernel> --crash-dump --args-linux --append="root=<root-dev>
maxcpus=1 init 1"
5) System reboots into the second kernel when a panic occurs. A module can be
written to force the panic, for testing purposes.
6) See Documentation/kdump.txt for how to read the first kernel's
memory image and how to analyze it.

This patch changes the memory allocation method for the s390 debug feature.
Trace buffers had been allocated using the get_free_pages() function before.
Therefore it was not possible to get big memory areas in a running system due
to memory fragmentation. Now the trace buffers are subdivided into several
subbuffers with pagesize. Therefore it is now possible to allocate more
memory for the trace buffers and more trace records can be written.
In addition to that, dynamic specification of the size of the trace buffers is
implemented. It is now possible to change the size of a trace buffer using a
new debugfs file instance. When writing a number into this file, the trace
buffer size is changed to 'number * pagesize'.
In the past all the traces could be obtained from userspace by accessing files
in the "proc" filesystem. Now with debugfs we have a new filesystem which
should be used for debugging purposes. This patch moves the debug feature
from procfs to debugfs.
Since the interface of debug_register() changed, all device drivers, which use
the debug feature had to be adjusted.

This patch to adds "power cycle" functionality to the IPMI power off module
ipmi_poweroff. It also contains changes to support procfs control of the
feature.
The power cycle action is considered an optional chassis control in the IPMI
specification. However, it is definitely useful when the hardware supports
it. A power cycle is usually required in order to reset a firmware in a bad
state. This action is critical to allow remote management of servers.
The implementation adds power cycle as optional to the ipmi_poweroff module.
It can be modified dynamically through the proc entry mentioned above. During
a power down and enabled, the power cycle command is sent to the BMC firmware.
If it fails either due to non-support or some error, it will retry to send
the command as power off.

The attached patch makes the following changes:
(1) There's a new special key type called ".request_key_auth".
This is an authorisation key for when one process requests a key and
another process is started to construct it. This type of key cannot be
created by the user; nor can it be requested by kernel services.
Authorisation keys hold two references:
(a) Each refers to a key being constructed. When the key being
constructed is instantiated the authorisation key is revoked,
rendering it of no further use.
(b) The "authorising process". This is either:
(i) the process that called request_key(), or:
(ii) if the process that called request_key() itself had an
authorisation key in its session keyring, then the authorising
process referred to by that authorisation key will also be
referred to by the new authorisation key.
This means that the process that initiated a chain of key requests
will authorise the lot of them, and will, by default, wind up with
the keys obtained from them in its keyrings.
(2) request_key() creates an authorisation key which is then passed to
/sbin/request-key in as part of a new session keyring.
(3) When request_key() is searching for a key to hand back to the caller, if
it comes across an authorisation key in the session keyring of the
calling process, it will also search the keyrings of the process
specified therein and it will use the specified process's credentials
(fsuid, fsgid, groups) to do that rather than the calling process's
credentials.
This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to find keys belonging
to the authorising process.
(4) A key can be read, even if the process executing KEYCTL_READ doesn't have
direct read or search permission if that key is contained within the
keyrings of a process specified by an authorisation key found within the
calling process's session keyring, and is searchable using the
credentials of the authorising process.
This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to read keys belonging
to the authorising process.
(5) The magic KEY_SPEC_*_KEYRING key IDs when passed to KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE or
KEYCTL_NEGATE will specify a keyring of the authorising process, rather
than the process doing the instantiation.
(6) One of the process keyrings can be nominated as the default to which
request_key() should attach new keys if not otherwise specified. This is
done with KEYCTL_SET_REQKEY_KEYRING and one of the KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_*
constants. The current setting can also be read using this call.
(7) request_key() is partially interruptible. If it is waiting for another
process to finish constructing a key, it can be interrupted. This permits
a request-key cycle to be broken without recourse to rebooting.

The attached patch changes the key implementation in a number of ways:
(1) It removes the spinlock from the key structure.
(2) The key flags are now accessed using atomic bitops instead of
write-locking the key spinlock and using C bitwise operators.
The three instantiation flags are dealt with with the construction
semaphore held during the request_key/instantiate/negate sequence, thus
rendering the spinlock superfluous.
The key flags are also now bit numbers not bit masks.
(3) The key payload is now accessed using RCU. This permits the recursive
keyring search algorithm to be simplified greatly since no locks need be
taken other than the usual RCU preemption disablement. Searching now does
not require any locks or semaphores to be held; merely that the starting
keyring be pinned.
(4) The keyring payload now includes an RCU head so that it can be disposed
of by call_rcu(). This requires that the payload be copied on unlink to
prevent introducing races in copy-down vs search-up.
(5) The user key payload is now a structure with the data following it. It
includes an RCU head like the keyring payload and for the same reason. It
also contains a data length because the data length in the key may be
changed on another CPU whilst an RCU protected read is in progress on the
payload. This would then see the supposed RCU payload and the on-key data
length getting out of sync.
I'm tempted to drop the key's datalen entirely, except that it's used in
conjunction with quota management and so is a little tricky to get rid
of.
(6) Update the keys documentation.

Add a new `suid_dumpable' sysctl:
This value can be used to query and set the core dump mode for setuid
or otherwise protected/tainted binaries. The modes are
0 - (default) - traditional behaviour. Any process which has changed
privilege levels or is execute only will not be dumped
1 - (debug) - all processes dump core when possible. The core dump is
owned by the current user and no security is applied. This is intended
for system debugging situations only. Ptrace is unchecked.
2 - (suidsafe) - any binary which normally would not be dumped is dumped
readable by root only. This allows the end user to remove such a dump but
not access it directly. For security reasons core dumps in this mode will
not overwrite one another or other files. This mode is appropriate when
adminstrators are attempting to debug problems in a normal environment.

Actually the feedback I had from last time was that the SUID_ defines

Some months ago, you killed the address ranges mechanism from all
sensors i2c chip drivers (both the module parameters and the in-code
address lists). I think it was a very good move, as the ranges can
easily be replaced by individual addresses, and this allowed for
significant cleanups in the i2c core (let alone the impressive size
shrink for all these drivers).
Unfortunately you did not do the same for non-sensors i2c chip drivers.
These need the address ranges even less, so we could get rid of the
ranges here as well for another significant i2c core cleanup. Here comes
a patch which does just that. Since the process is exactly the same as
what you did for the other drivers set already, I did not split this one
in parts.
A documentation update is included.
The change saves 308 bytes in the i2c core, and an average 1382 bytes
for chip drivers which use I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD, 126 bytes for those which
do not.
This change is required if we want to merge the sensors and non-sensors
i2c code (and we want to do this).

The current isofs treatment of hidden files is flawed in two ways. First,
it does not provide sufficient granularity; it hides both 'hidden' files
and 'associated' files (resource fork for Mac files). Second, the default
behavior to completely strip hidden files, while an admirable
implementation of the spec, is a poor choice given the real world use of
hidden files as a poor mans copy protection scheme for MSDOS and Windows
based systems. A longer description of this is available here:
http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0205.3/0267.html
This patch was originally built after a few private conversations with Alan
Cox; I shamefully failed to persist in seeing it go forward, I hope to make
amends now.
This patch introduces granularity by allowing explicit control for both
hidden and associated files. It also reverses the default so that by
default, hidden files are treated as regular files on the iso9660 file
system.
This allow Wine to process Windows CDs, including those that are hybrid
Mac/Windows CDs properly and completely, without our having to go muck up
peoples fstabs as we do now. (I have tested this with such a hybrid +
hidden CD and have verified that this patch works as claimed).

This series of patches reworks the configuration and internal structure
of the SGI IOC4 I/O controller device drivers.
These changes are motivated by several factors:
- The IOC4 chip PCI resources are of mixed use between functions (i.e.
multiple functions are handled in the same address range, sometimes
within the same register), muddling resource ownership and initialization
issues. Centralizing this ownership in a core driver is desirable.
- The IOC4 chip implements multiple functions (serial, IDE, others not
yet implemented in the mainline kernel) but is not a multifunction
PCI device. In order to properly handle device addition and removal
as well as module insertion and deletion, an intermediary IOC4-specific
driver layer is needed to handle these operations cleanly.
- All IOC4 drivers are currently enabled by a single CONFIG value. As
not all systems need all IOC4 functions, it is desireable to enable
these drivers independently.
- The current IOC4 core driver will trigger loading of all function-level
drivers, as it makes direct calls to them. This situation should be
reversed (i.e. function-level drivers cause loading of core driver)
in order to maintain a clear and least-surprise driver loading model.
- IOC4 hardware design necessitates some driver-level dependency on
the PCI bus clock speed. Current code assumes a 66MHz bus, but the
speed should be autodetected and appropriate compensation taken.
This patch series effects the above changes by a newly and better designed
IOC4 core driver with which the function-level drivers can register and
deregister themselves upon module insertion/removal. By tracking these
modules, device addition/removal is also handled properly. PCI resource
management and ownership issues are centralized in this core driver, and
IOC4-wide configuration actions such as bus speed detection are also
handled in this core driver.
This patch:
The SGI IOC4 I/O controller chip implements multiple functions, though it is
not a multi-function PCI device. Additionally, various PCI resources of the
IOC4 are shared by multiple hardware functions, and thus resource ownership by
driver is not clearly delineated. Due to the current driver design, all core
and subordinate drivers must be loaded, or none, which is undesirable if not
all IOC4 hardware features are being used.
This patch reorganizes the IOC4 drivers so that the core driver provides a
subdriver registration service. Through appropriate callbacks the subdrivers
can now handle device addition and removal, as well as module insertion and
deletion (though the IOC4 IDE driver requires further work before module
deletion will work). The core driver now takes care of allocating PCI
resources and data which must be shared between subdrivers, to clearly
delineate module ownership of these items.
