2008-07-30sched: make scheduler sysfs attributes sysdev class devicesAndi Kleen
They are really class devices, but were incorrectly declared. This leads to crashes with the recent changes that makes non normal sysdevs use a different prototype.

2008-07-30rtc-dev: stop periodic interrupts on device releaseTomas Janousek
Solves http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11127 The old rtc.c driver did it and some drivers (like rtc-sh) do it in their release function, though they should not -- because they should provide the irq_set_state op and the rtc framework itself should care about it. This patch makes it do so. I am aware that some drivers, like rtc-sh, handle userspace PIE sets in their ioctl op (instead of having the framework call the op), exporting the irq_set_state op at the same time. The logic in rtc_irq_set_state should make sure it doesn't matter and the driver should not need to care stopping periodic interrupts in its release routine any more. The correct way, in my opinion, should be this: 1) The driver provides the irq_set_state op and does not care closing the interrupts in its release op. 2) If the driver does not provide the op and handles PIE in the ioctl op, it's reponsible for closing them in its release op. 3) Something similar for other IRQs, like UIE -- if there's no in-kernel API like irq_set_state, handle it in ioctl and release ops. The framework will be responsible either for everything or for nothing. (This will probably change later.)

2008-07-30gbefb: cmap FIFO timeoutThomas Bogendoerfer
Writes to the cmap fifo while the display is blanked caused cmap FIFO timeout messages and a wrong colormap. To avoid this the driver now maintains a colormap in memory and updates the colormap after the display is unblanked.

2008-07-30markers: fix markers read barrier for multiple probesMathieu Desnoyers
Paul pointed out two incorrect read barriers in the marker handler code in the path where multiple probes are connected. Those are ordering reads of "ptype" (single or multi probe marker), "multi" array pointer, and "multi" array data access. It should be ordered like this : read ptype smp_rmb() read multi array pointer smp_read_barrier_depends() access data referenced by multi array pointer The code with a single probe connected (optimized case, does not have to allocate an array) has correct memory ordering. It applies to kernel 2.6.26.x, 2.6.25.x and linux-next. Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Cc: "Paul E.

2008-07-30cpufreq acpi: only call _PPC after cpufreq ACPI init funcs got called alreadyThomas Renninger
Ingo Molnar provided a fix to not call _PPC at processor driver initialization time in "[PATCH] ACPI: fix cpufreq regression" (git commit e4233dec749a3519069d9390561b5636a75c7579) But it can still happen that _PPC is called at processor driver initialization time. This patch should make sure that this is not possible anymore.

2008-07-28Fix 'get_user_pages_fast()' with non-page-aligned start addressLinus Torvalds
Alexey Dobriyan reported trouble with LTP with the new fast-gup code, and Johannes Weiner debugged it to non-page-aligned addresses, where the new get_user_pages_fast() code would do all the wrong things, including just traversing past the end of the requested area due to 'addr' never matching 'end' exactly. This is not a pretty fix, and we may actually want to move the alignment into generic code, leaving just the core code per-arch, but Alexey verified that the vmsplice01 LTP test doesn't crash with this.

2008-07-29lguest: turn Waker into a thread, not a processRusty Russell
lguest uses a Waker process to break it out of the kernel (ie. actually running the guest) when file descriptor needs attention. Changing this from a process to a thread somewhat simplifies things: it can directly access the fd_set of things to watch. More importantly, it means that the Waker can see Guest memory correctly, so /dev/vring file descriptors will work as anticipated (the alternative is to actually mmap MAP_SHARED, but you can't do that with /dev/zero).
