Update documentation for the hw_random support to be current:
- Documentation/hw_random.txt has been updated to reflect the
current code: it's a framework now, a "core" with a small
sysfs interface, that hardware-specific drivers plug in to.
Text specific to Intel hardware is now at the end.
- Kconfig now references the Documentation/hw_random.txt file
and better explains what this really does.
Both chunks of documentation now higlight the fact that the kernel entropy
pool is maintained by "rngd", and this driver has nothing directly to do with
that important task.

unsigned long != __le32, TYVM, and unsigned char[4] is not guaranteed
to be aligned for u32.
While we are at it, sanitize sOutDW() a bit - have it take Byte_t * and
handle dereferencing internally.
NB: sWriteTxPrioByte() is almost certainly buggered on big-endian and is
missing cpu_to_le16() on assignments to *WordPtr; I've left it alone for now.

It's worth remembering that all new bright ideas on how to make this command reader work properly and according to docs will probably fail :( Bring in some old code.
Also allow a larger SG-DMA download stride, and remove unnecessary waits for
command regulators pauses.

The i915_vblank_swap() function schedules an automatic buffer swap
upon receipt of the vertical sync interrupt. Such an operation is
lengthy so it can't be allowed to happen in normal interrupt context,
thus the DRM implements this by scheduling the work in a kernel
softirq-scheduled tasklet. In order for the buffer swap to work
safely, the DRM's central lock must be taken, via a call to
drm_lock_take() located in drivers/char/drm/drm_irq.c within the
function drm_locked_tasklet_func(). The lock-taking logic uses a
non-interrupt-blocking spinlock to implement the manipulations needed
to take the lock. This semantic would be safe if all attempts to use
the spinlock only happen from process context. However this buffer
swap happens from softirq context which is really a form of interrupt
context. Thus we have an unsafe situation, in that
drm_locked_tasklet_func() can block on a spinlock already taken by a
thread in process context which will never get scheduled again because
of the blocked softirq tasklet. This wedges the kernel hard.
To trigger this bug, run a dual-head cloned mode configuration which
uses the i915 drm, then execute an opengl application which
synchronizes buffer swaps against the vertical sync interrupt. In my
testing, a lockup always results after running anywhere from 5 minutes
to an hour and a half. I believe dual-head is needed to really
trigger the problem because then the vertical sync interrupt handling
is no longer predictable (due to being interrupt-sourced from two
different heads running at different speeds). This raises the
probability of the tasklet trying to run while the userspace DRI is
doing things to the GPU (and manipulating the DRM lock).
The fix is to change the relevant spinlock semantics to be the
interrupt-blocking form. After this change I am no longer able to
trigger the lockup; the longest test run so far was 20 hours (test
stopped after that point).
Note: I have examined the places where this spinlock is being
employed; all are reasonably short bounded sequences and should be
suitable for interrupts being blocked without impacting overall kernel
interrupt response latency.

Due to some flaws in the initialization and flow control
code kernel oopses could be triggered e.g. when accessing
the card too early after insertion.
See e.g. kernel.org bug #10077.
The main part of the fix is a trivial state management
making sure the card is realy ready to use before allowing

randconfig testing found a bootup lockup in drivers/char/esp.c because
of a spinlock that wasn't correctly initialized.
I'm not sure why it became more prominent in 2.6.25-rc4, the bug seems
rather old and i've been doing allyesconfig bootups for ages with
CONFIG_ESP enabled.
This fixes this bootup lockup:

In commit e6bafba5b4765a5a252f1b8d31cbf6d2459da337 ("wmi: (!x & y)
strikes again"), a bug was fixed that involved converting !x & y to !(x
& y). The code below shows the same pattern, and thus should perhaps be
fixed in the same way.
This is not tested and clearly changes the semantics, so it is only
something to consider.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

VT notifier callbacks need to be aware of console switches. This is already
partially done from console_callback(), but at that time fg_console, cursor
positions, etc. are not yet updated and hence screen readers fetch the old

This adds an update notify after all of the values are updated in

On many chipsets, the checks for DPLL enable or VGA mode will prevent the pipeconf regs from being restored, which could result in a blank display or X failing to come back after resume. So restore them unconditionally along with actually restoring pipe B's palette correctly.

On resume, if the interrupt state isn't restored correctly, we may end
up with a flood of unexpected or ill-timed interrupts, which could cause

wrong time. So save/restore them properly.

Several AGP drivers right now use ioremap_nocache() on kernel ram in order
to turn a page of regular memory uncached.
There are two problems with this:
1) This is a total nightmare for the ioremap() implementation to keep
various mappings of the same page coherent.
2) It's a total nightmare for the AGP code since it adds a ton of
complexity in terms of keeping track of 2 different pointers to
the same thing, in terms of error handling etc etc.
This patch fixes this by making the AGP drivers use the new
set_memory_XX APIs instead.
Note: amd-k7-agp.c is built on Alpha too, and generic.c is built
on ia64 as well, which do not yet have the set_memory_*() APIs,
so for them some we have a few ugly #ifdefs - hopefully they'll
be fixed soon.

select strikes again. ipwireless selects PPP which in turn tries to select
SLHC, both of which are technically "protected" by an if NETDEVICES
in drivers/net/Kconfig. This leads to .config hilarity, with net suddenly
ending up in the SCSI menu:
#
# SCSI device support
#
# CONFIG_SCSI_DMA is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK is not set
CONFIG_PPP=y
# CONFIG_PHONE is not set
Curiously the SLHC select from PPP doesn't seem to happen, as there's no
CONFIG_SLHC=y (only CONFIG_PPP=y gets set) -- Kconfig bug? Caught with a
randconfig.
