Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
Since we have to use XCB=101 instead of XCB=000 on the ixp2400 to
prevent it from regularly falling over, and since we have to deal with
manual write buffer flushing because of that, we might as well use
XCB=101 on all ixp2000 platforms since it's faster than XCB=000.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
nwfpe extended precision emulation used to be broken on big-endian
and was therefore disabled. This patch fixes nwfpe so that it copies
extended precision floats to/from userspace in the proper word order
(similar to patch #2046, see the description of that patch for an
explanation) and reenables the Kconfig option.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
The routine that nwfpe uses for converting floats/doubles to
extended precision fails to zero two bytes of kernel stack. This
is not immediately obvious, as the floatx80 structure has 16 bits
of implicit padding (by design.) These two bytes are copied to
userspace when an stfe is emulated, causing a possible info leak.
Make the padding explicit and zero it out in the relevant places.

Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any
hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.
Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
information from the newer hypervisors.

We don't want to call dump_cpu_info() from cpu_init() after boot since

Patch from Richard Purdie
Update the PXA pm.c file to allow machines (such as the Sharp
Zaurus) to override the standard pm functions but reuse/wrap them
where needed.
The init call is made slightly earlier to give machine code an init

Patch from Alessandro Zummo
This patch fixes AHB/PCI endianness problems when the
processor is in little-endian mode.
The patch configures the CSR register closely following the directives
in [1], paragraph 4.1, page 19.
According to the considerations in [1], page 11, while the AHB bus
supports both endian modes, on the IXP4XX it always uses big-endian.
The PCI bus is connected to the South AHB. A wrong setting in the CSR
register will thus cause a malfunctional PCI bus.
A schematic diagram of the bus interconnections on the IXP4XX
can be found in [1], page 18.
The patch has been verified to work on the NSLU2 in
both LE and BE modes.
The author is Peter Korsgaard.

Include autoconf.h into every kernel compilation via the gcc command line
using -imacros. This ensures that we have the kernel configuration
included from the start, rather than relying on each file having #include
<linux/config.h> as appropriate. History has shown that this is something
which is difficult to get right.
Since we now include the kernel configuration automatically, make
configcheck becomes meaningless, so remove it.

my patch "x86: initialise tss->io_bitmap_owner to something" (commit ID
d5cd4aadd3d220afac8e3e6d922e333592551f7d) introduced a problem with a
program (DOSEMU) that called ioperm after already doing some port i/o.
The problem is that a process switch return causes tss->io_bitmap_base
to be set to IO_BITMAP_OFFSET so that the fault (that *really* sets the
io bitmap) never triggers.
This fixes that regression.

Some visually impaired people use hardware devices which directly read
the vga screen. When newt for instance asks to hide the cursor for
better visual aspect, the kernel puts the vga cursor out of the screen,
so that the cursor position can't be read by the hardware device. This
is a great loss for such people.
Here is a patch which uses the same technique as CUR_NONE for hiding the
cursor while still moving it.
Mario, you should apply it to the speakup kernel for access floppies
asap. I'll submit a 2.4 patch too.

Statically allocated devices in module data is a potential cause
of oopsen. The device may be in use by a userspace process, which
will keep a reference to the device. If the module is unloaded,
the module data will be freed. Subsequent use of the platform
device will cause a kernel oops.

parent device to be set.
Example usage:
pdev = platform_device_alloc("mydev", id);
if (pdev) {
err = platform_device_add_resources(pdev, &resources,
ARRAY_SIZE(resources));
if (err == 0)
err = platform_device_add_data(pdev, &platform_data,
sizeof(platform_data));
if (err == 0)
err = platform_device_add(pdev);
} else {
err = -ENOMEM;
}
if (err)

Adds a phy_mask field to struct mii_bus and uses it. This field
indicates each phy address to be ignored when probing the mdio bus.
This support is needed for the fs_enet and ibm_emac drivers to be
converted to the generic phy layer among other drivers. Many systems
lock up on probing certain phy addresses or probing doesn't return
0xffff when nothing is found at the address. A new driver I'm
working on also makes use of this mask.

This patch is a better fix for Allied Telesyn 2700/2701 FX boards than
the change made in early January this year. It allows the user to
select the speed/duplex via module_param, but if no selection is made,
forces the speed to 100 FD. It fixes both Bugzilla bugs 2669 and 4551.

Display the name eth%d or pci_name() of device which fails to allocate
memory. When changing ring size via ethtool, it also releases the
lock before returning on error. Added comment that the caller of
pcnet32_alloc_ring must call pcnet32_free_ring on error, to avoid leak.

Hi,
This patch provides dynamic two buffer-mode and 3 buffer-mode options.
Previously 2 buffer-mode was compilation option. Now with this patch applied
one can load driver in 2 buffer-mode with module-load parameter
ie.
#insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=2
This patch also provides 3 buffer-mode which provides header separation
functionality. In 3 buffer-mode skb->data will have L2/L3/L4 headers and
"skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list->data" will have have L4 payload.
one can load driver in 3 buffer-mode with same above module-load parameter
ie.
#insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=3
Please review the patch.

fid is declared as a u32 (unsigned int), and then a few lines later, it is checked for a value < 0, which is clearly useless.
In the two locations this function is used, in one it is *explicitly* given a negative number, which would be ignored with the
current definition.

Currently the driver takes a reference only for requests coming by way
of the gendisk, not for requests coming by way of the struct device or
struct scsi_device. Such requests can arrive in the rescan, flush,
and shutdown pathways.
The patch also makes the scsi_disk keep a reference to the underlying
scsi_device, and it erases the scsi_device's pointer to the scsi_disk
when the scsi_device is removed (since the pointer should no longer be
used).
This resolves Bugzilla entry #5237.
