2006-10-01[SERIAL] returning proper error from serial core driverRam Gupta
Fix the issue of returning 0 even in case of error from uart_set_info function. Now it returns the error EBUSY when it can not set new port. Signed-off-by: Ram Gupta <r.gupta@astronautics.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2006-10-01[SERIAL] 8250 resourse management fixesSergei Shtylyov
I think register ranges obviously need to be claimed/released for all UARTs including those with UPIO_MEM32 and UPIO_TSI iotype. Also, serial8250_request_rsa_resources() returns false positives with UPIO_MEM32, UPIO_AU, and UPIO_TSI iotype -- I don't think this makes any sense.

2006-10-01[SERIAL] serial_cs: Add quirk for brainboxes 2-port RS232 cardRussell King

2006-10-01[SERIAL] serial_cs: handle Nokia multi->single port bodge via config quirkRussell King
According to the existing code, Nokia only make single-port cards, but are detected as multi-port cards. Handle this in roughly the same way via the config quirk - forcing it to be a real single port card (info->multi=0) changes the way we allocate the IO memory, which might stop the card working.

2006-10-01[SERIAL] serial_cs: convert IBM post-init handling to a quirkRussell King

2006-10-01[SERIAL] serial_cs: allow wildcarded quirksRussell King

2006-10-01[SERIAL] serial_cs: convert multi-port table to quirk tableRussell King

2006-10-01[SERIAL] Remove m32r_sio dependency on asm/serial.hRussell King
m32r_sio re-uses a custom defined BASE_BAUD from asm/serial.h, and replaces SERIAL_PORT_DFNS with its own driver private copy. Since asm/serial.h is supposed to define 8250-based ports using these symbols, this isn't a sane idea. Hence, eliminate asm/serial.h from m32r_sio.c.

2006-09-29[BNX2]: Disable MSI on 5706 if AMD 8132 bridge is present.Michael Chan
MSI is defined to be 32-bit write. The 5706 does 64-bit MSI writes with byte enables disabled on the unused 32-bit word. This is legal but causes problems on the AMD 8132 which will eventually stop responding after a while. Without this patch, the MSI test done by the driver during open will pass, but MSI will eventually stop working after a few MSIs are written by the device. AMD believes this incompatibility is unique to the 5706, and prefers to locally disable MSI rather than globally disabling it using pci_msi_quirk. Update version to 1.4.45.

2006-09-29[PATCH] Fix locking for tty drivers when doing urgent charactersAlan Cox
If you send a priority character (as is done for flow control) then the tty driver can either have its own method for "jumping the queue" or the characrer can be queued normally. In the latter case we call the write method but without the atomic_write_lock taken elsewhere. Make this consistent. Note that the send_xchar method if implemented remains outside of the lock as it can jump ahead of a current write so must not be locked out by it.

Introduce the disable_irq_nosync_lockdep_irqsave() and enable_irq_lockdep_irqrestore() APIs. These are needed for NE2000; basically NE2000 calls disable_irq and enable_irq as locking against the IRQ handler, but both in cases where interrupts are on and off. This means that lockdep needs to track the old state of the virtual irq flags on disable_irq, and restore these at enable_irq time.

2006-09-29[PATCH] pidspace: is_init()Sukadev Bhattiprolu
This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-09-29[PATCH] tty locking on resizeAlan Cox
The current kernel serializes console resizes but does not serialize the resize against the tty structure updates. This means that while two parallel resizes cannot mess up the console you can get incorrect results reported. Secondly while doing this I added vc_lock_resize() to lock and resize the console. This leaves all knowledge of the console_sem in the vt/console driver and kicks it out of the tty layer, which is good Thirdly while doing this I decided I couldn't stand "disallocate" any longer so I switched it to "deallocate".

2006-09-29[PATCH] fix Intel RNG detectionJan Beulich
Previously, since determination whether there was an Intel random number generator was based on a single bit, on systems with a matching bridge device but without a firmware hub, there was a 50% chance that the code would incorrectly decide that the system had an RNG. This patch adds detection of the firmware hub to better qualify the existence of an RNG. There is one issue with the patch: I was unable to determine the LPC equivalent for the PCI bridge 8086:2430 (since the old code didn't care about which of the many devices provided by the ICH/ESB it was chose to use the PCI bridge device, but the FWH settings live in the LPC device, so the device list needed to be changed).

OEM Strings are the only safe way to identify some hardware, e.g., the ThinkPad embedded controller used by the soon-to-be-submitted tp_smapi driver.
