2006-08-30[PATCH] drm: radeon flush TCL VAP for vertex program enable/disableRoland Scheidegger

2006-08-27[PATCH] Fix tty layer DoS and comment relevant codeAlan Cox
Unlike the other tty comment patch this one has code changes. Specifically it limits the queue size for a tty to 64K characters (128Kbytes) worst case even if the tty is ignoring tty->throttle. This is because certain drivers don't honour the throttle value correctly, although it is a useful safeguard anyway.

2006-08-27[PATCH] vcsa attribute bits -> ioctl(VT_GETHIFONTMASK)Samuel Thibault
When reading /dev/vcsa while a font with more than 256 characters is loaded, one of the attribute bits records the 9th bit of the character. But depending on the console driver (vgacon or fbcon for instance), that's bit 3 or bit 0. And there is no way for userland to know that, thus no way for userland to safely grab the screen content. So here is a (tested) patch: Add a VT_GETHIFONTMASK ioctl for knowing which bit is the 9th bit for VC text (vc_hi_font_mask field of the vc_data structure).

2006-08-27[PATCH] char/moxa.c: fix endianess and multiple-card issuesDirk Eibach
While testing Moxa C218T/PCI on PowerPC 405EP I found that loading firmware using the linux kernel driver fails because calculation of the checksum is not endianess independent in the original code. After I fixed this I found that uploading firmware in a system with multiple cards causes a kernel oops. I had a look in the recent moxa sources and found that they do some kind of locking there. Applying this lock fixed the problem. Alan sayeth: Checksum changes are clearly correct. Other changes is an improvement but not I think enough to handle malicious firmware attacks. That said such an attacker has CAP_SYS_RAWIO anyway so that part is irrelevant except for neatness.

2006-08-06[PATCH] pSeries: hvsi char driver janitorial cleanupLinas Vepstas
A set of tty line discipline cleanup patches were introduced before the dawn of time, in kernel version 2.4.21. This patch performs that cleanup for the hvsi driver. The hvsi driver is used only on IBM pSeries PowerPC boxes. The driver was originally written by Hollis Blanchard, who has delegated maintainership to me. So this my first and maybe only patch in this official new role, because this driver is otherwise bug-free :-) Alan: "Actually its also a bug fix, tty->ldisc should be locked by refcounting and the helpers do this for you."

2006-07-14[PATCH] scx200_gpio: 1 cdev for N minors: cleanup, prepJim Cromie

Ive never tested other pins, and theyre all multiplexed with other functions, some of which may be in use on my soekris 4801, so I dont know what testing should yield. - +EXPORT_SYMBOL(scx200_access); This exposes the driver's vtable, which another driver can use along with #include <linux/nsc_gpio.h>, to manipulate a gpio-pin.

2006-07-10[PATCH] snsc: switch from force_sig to kill_procChristoph Hellwig
Currently the snsc driver uses force_sig to send init a SIGPWR when the system overheats. This patch switches it to kill_proc instead which has the following advantages: (1) gets rid of one of the last remaining tasklist_lock users in modular code (2) simplifies the snsc code significantly The downside is that an init implementation could in theory block SIGPWR and it would not get delivered. The sysvinit code used by all major distributions doesn't do this and blocking this signal in init would be a rather stupid thing to do.

Code compiles and runs, exhibits a lesser error than previously. (re-register-chrdev fails) Since I had to add "include <linux/cdev.h>", I went ahead and made 2 tweaks that fell into diff-context-window: - remove include <linux/config.h> everyone's doing it - copyright updates - current date is 'wrong' Signed-off-by: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-07-10[PATCH] make valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() take a pfnLennert Buytenhek
Newer ARMs have a 40 bit physical address space, but mapping physical memory above 4G needs a special page table format which we (currently?) do not use for userspace mappings, so what happens instead is that mapping an address >= 4G will happily discard the upper bits and wrap. There is a valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() arch hook where we could check for >= 4G addresses and deny the mapping, but this hook takes an unsigned long address: static inline int valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(unsigned long addr, size_t size); And drivers/char/mem.c:mmap_mem() calls it like this: static int mmap_mem(struct file * file, struct vm_area_struct * vma) { size_t size = vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start; if (!valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT, size)) So that's not much help either. This patch makes the hook take a pfn instead of a phys address.
