add the helper and use it instead of open coding the klist_node_attached() check (which is a layering violation IMHO) idea by Alan Stern.

bus_rescan_devices_helper() does not hold the dev->sem when it checks for !dev->driver(). device_attach() holds the sem, but calls again device_bind_driver() even when dev->driver is set. What happens is that a first device_attach() call (module insertion time) is on the way binding the device to a driver. Another thread calls bus_rescan_devices(). Now when bus_rescan_devices_helper() checks for dev->driver it is still NULL 'cos the the prior device_attach() is not yet finished. But as soon as the first one releases the dev->sem the second device_attach() tries to rebind the already bound device again. device_bind_driver() does this blindly which leads to a corrupt driver->klist_devices list (the device links itself, the head points to the device). Later a call to device_release_driver() sets dev->driver to NULL and breaks the link it has to itself on knode_driver. Rmmoding the driver later calls driver_detach() which leads to an endless loop 'cos the list head in klist_devices still points to the device. And since dev->driver is NULL it's stuck with the same device forever. Boom. And rmmod hangs. Very easy to reproduce with new-style pcmcia and a 16bit card. Just loop modprobe <pcmcia-modules> ;cardctl eject; rmmod <card driver, pcmcia modules>. Easiest fix is to check if the device is already bound to a driver in device_bind_driver(). This avoids the double binding.

The header declaring this function wasn't included, so the function declaration was totally bogus wrt. the proto - even if this wasn't going to fail at all. It was so bad that the compile warning I got was "control reaches end of non-void function", i.e. missing return. Actually, this has been there for ages, the consolidation patch just added the warning which was needed to clean it up. Nice. Really.

Explain why the casting we do to silence this warning is indeed safe. It is because the field we're casting from, though being 64-bit wide, was filled with a pointer in first place by ourselves.

Even if with a bit of misunderstanding, Al fixed this in commit 95608261. Well, the symbol was intended to come from userspace (it exists there on normal host), but since some hosts may miss that, using the kernel one is just as fine. However, rename it to be named consistently with the rest. Actually, he missed converting ELFCLASS32 to coming from kernel headers. For consistence, add ELFCLASS64 too.

I am a lamer :-(. Luckily, Luo Xin performed LTP testing and found this failure. Btw, the fact that the patch in which I introduced this was merged shows that: a) I'm really trusted by people b) sometimes they're wrong about point a). c) lack of time for reviewers.

As recently done by Russell King for ARM, commit 4732efbe introduces a generic asm/futex.h copied along most arches, which includes a "-ENOSYS support" to be changed if needed. However, it includes an unused var (taken from the "real" version) which GCC warns about. Remove it from all arches having that file version (i.e. same GIT id). $ git-diff-tree -r HEAD and $ git-ls-tree -r HEAD include/|grep 9feff4ce1424bc390608326240be369eb13aa648 may be more interesting than looking at the patch itself, to make sure I've just copied the arm header to all other archs having the original dummy version of this file.

Follow up to 4732efbe - uml must just reuse as-is the backing architecture support. There is a micro-fixup is needed for the included file, which won't affect i386 behaviour at all. I've not tested compilation on x86_64, only on x86, but the code is almost the same except the culprit test, so everything should be ok on x86_64 too.

During a forensic analysis on the fat file system, I found than the result for the last access date on this file system was different between the stat command and the istat command (package tct-utils). The istat command display a true date (the right windows date) but the stat primitive (so stat, find, ls command) displays a wrong date.

Hugh made me note this line for permission checking in mprotect(): if ((newflags & ~(newflags >> 4)) & 0xf) { after figuring out what's that about, I decided it's nasty enough. Btw Hugh itself didn't like the 0xf. We can safely change it to VM_READ|VM_WRITE|VM_EXEC because we never change VM_SHARED, so no need to check that.

zImage.vmode was recently added. It's a version of zImage in which the ELF note section used by open firmware indicates that it requires a virtual mode instance of OF instead of real mode. This allows it to work with Apple OF, and thus is directly bootable (or netbootable) from OF command line. (Unfortunately, pSeries OF sort-of requires real mode and Apple OF sort-of requires virtual mode, and both tend to be unhappy if no notes section specifies the mode at all). However, we forgot to add zImage.vmode to the default G5 build. This fixes it.

Some RS64 systems (such as F80) have non-python host bridges with EADS. However, they have two EADS with 4 buses each under them, so the old logic that assumed no more than 7 busses per PHB failed miserably. Big thanks to Olaf Hering for helping me test this, he's got one of the few machines that broke from the previous logic. Also, to be a bit smarter at detecting the need for a PHB-level IOMMU table by checking for the presence of an ISA bus. Only PHBs with ISA bridges should need the PHB-level table.

ia64's sched_clock() accesses per-cpu data which isn't set up at boot time. Hence ia64 cannot use printk timestamping, because printk() will crash in sched_clock(). So make printk() use printk_clock(), defaulting to sched_clock(), overrideable by the architecture via attribute(weak).

My code to set up the PCI tree from the Open Firmware device tree was setting IORESOURCE_* flags on the resources for the devices, but not the PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_* flags. This meant that some drivers misbehaved, and /proc/pci showed the wrong types for the resources. This fixes it.
