2008-02-05pcmcia: convert some internal-only ioaddr_t to unsigned intOlof Johansson
Convert the io_req_t members to unsigned int, to allow use on machines with more than 16 bits worth of IO ports (i.e. secondary busses on ppc64, etc). There was only a couple of places in drivers where a change was needed. I left printk formats alone (there are lots of %04x-style formats in there), mostly to not change the format on the platforms that only have 16-bit io addresses, but also because the padding doesn't really add all that much value most of the time. I found only one sprintf of an address, and upsized the string accordingly (I doubt anyone will have anywhere near INT_MAX as irq value, but at least there's room for it now).

2008-02-05intel-agp: add chipset flushing supportDave Airlie
This adds support for flushing the chipsets on the 915, 945, 965 and G33 families of Intel chips. The BIOS doesn't seem to always allocate the BAR on the 965 chipsets so I have to use pci resource code to create a resource It adds an export for pcibios_align_resource.
2008-02-05agp: add chipset flushing support to AGP interfaceDave Airlie
This bumps the AGP interface to 0.103. Certain Intel chipsets contains a global write buffer, and this can require flushing from the drm or X.org to make sure all data has hit RAM before initiating a GPU transfer, due to a lack of coherency with the integrated graphics device and this buffer. This just adds generic support to the AGP interfaces, a follow-on patch will add support to the Intel driver to use this interface. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>

2008-02-04vm audit: add VM_DONTEXPAND to mmap for drivers that need itNick Piggin
Drivers that register a ->fault handler, but do not range-check the offset argument, must set VM_DONTEXPAND in the vm_flags in order to prevent an expanding mremap from overflowing the resource.

2008-01-30x86: assign IRQs to HPET timers, fixBalaji Rao
Looks like IRQ 31 is assigned to timer 3, even without the patch! I wonder who wrote the number 31. But the manual says that it is zero by default. I think we should check whether the timer has been allocated an IRQ before proceeding to assign one to it. Here is a patch that does this.

The userspace API for the HPET (see Documentation/hpet.txt) did not work. The HPET_IE_ON ioctl was failing as there was no IRQ assigned to the timer device.

2008-01-08pl2303: Fix mode switching regressionAlan Cox
Cleaning out all the incorrect 'no change made' checks for termios settings showed up a problem with the PL2303. The hardware here seems to lose sync and bits if you tell it to make no changes. This shows up with a real world application. To fix this the driver check for meaningful hardware changes is restored but doing the tests correctly and as a tty layer function so it doesn't get duplicated wrongly everywhere if other drivers turn out to need it.

2007-12-23tty: fix logic change introduced by wait_event_interruptible_timeout()Cory T. Tusar
Commit 5a52bd4a2dcb570333ce6fe2e16cd311650dbdc8 introduced a subtle logic change in tty_wait_until_sent(). The original version would only error out of the 'do { ... } while (timeout)' loop if signal_pending() evaluated to true; a timeout or break due to an empty buffer would fall out of the loop and into the tty->driver->wait_until_sent handling. The current implementation will error out on either a pending signal or an empty buffer, falling through to the tty->driver->wait_until_sent handling only on a timeout. The ->wait_until_sent() will not be reached if the buffer empties before timeout jiffies have elapsed. This behavior differs from that prior to commit 5a52bd4a2dcb570333ce6fe2e16cd311650dbdc8. I turned this up while using a little serial download utility to bootstrap an ARM-based eval board. The util worked fine on 2.6.22.x, but consistently failed on 2.6.23.x. Once I'd determined that, I narrowed things down with git bisect, and found the above difference in logic in tty_wait_until_sent() by inspection. This change reverts the logic flow in tty_wait_until_sent() to match that prior to the aforementioned commit. Signed-off-by: Cory T.
