I think there is a bug in kmod.c: In __call_usermodehelper(), when kernel_thread(wait_for_helper, ...) return success, since wait_for_helper() might call complete() at any time, the sub_info should not be used any more. Normally wait_for_helper() take a long time to finish, you may not get problem for most of the case. But if you remove /sbin/modprobe, it may become easier for you to get a oop in khelper.

`make headers_check' wants to go and write stuff in /lib/modules, which requires root, whic is unfortunate. In fact, there's no _particular_ reason for headers_install to put it there either -- it can go into a subdirectory of the build tree in both cases. It's not intended to go directly into /usr/include, which is why we didn't put it there -- and we certainly don't want people screwing around with symlinking to it. It's for distributors to take away and do stuff with, so leaving it in $(objtree) is fine, even in the headers_install case. I picked $(objtree)/usr/include but I have no _particular_ preference for that; it just seemed reasonable. Signed-off-by:

Fix two problems with the CONFIG_EMBEDDED submenu: (1) The menu was split in two by the rt_mutex patch, which moved half the items into the "General setup" menu. (2) CONFIG_SYSCTL and CONFIG_UID16 were added to the main menu instead of the submenu.

Alpha currently fails 'make headers_check' in the 2.6.18-rc kernels. This patch fixes it, by moving the existing #ifdef __KERNEL__ in asm/page.h so that it covers everything that userspace shouldn't so, and by adding asm/compiler.h to the list of exported files so that its use within asm/byteorder.h is successful. [ Note that at least with GCC 4, <linux/compiler.h> doesn't do the forced inlining about which there are nasty comments (and a workaround) in <asm/compiler.h>, unless you set CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING. Rather than keep the mess you have in <asm/compiler.h> you could perhaps just make sure CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING=n is also honoured with GCC3, and make sure it cannot be set for Alpha? ] Signed-off-by:

This fixes a bunch of mislabelled and unlabelled #endifs in unistd.h and also cleans that up to conform with what's visible on other architectures, since the minimal fix for the error reported about would have involved a more intrusive patch, renesting other ifdefs.

We generate an <asm/foo.h> which includes either <asm-$ARCH/foo.h> or <asm-$ALTARCH/foo.h> as appropriate. But we were doing this dependent on whether the file in question existed in the _unexported_ tree, not the exported tree. So if a file was exported to userspace in one asm- directory but not the other, the generated file in asm/ was incorrect. This only changed the failure mode if it _was_ included from a nice #error to a less explicable #include failure -- but it also gave false errors in 'make headers_check' output. Fix it by looking in the right place instead. Signed-off-by:

Add support for new hardware and bumps the version to 3.6.10. It seems there were several changes introduced including soft_irq. I decided to bump the major number to reflect these changes. Since we're still supporting older vendor kernels I need some way differentiate between kernel versions <=2.6.10 and newer kernels >=2.6.16. Signed-off-by:

MIPS asm/page.h unconditionally includes <asm-generic/memory_model.h>, which doesn't exist in userspace. Move an #endif /* __KERNEL__ */ down a few lines to prevent that. Also, remove the broken definition of PAGE_SIZE which is never going to be correct -- in the absence of PAGE_SIZE, non-broken userspace will fall back to using sysconf() or getpagesize() instead.

Some files which don't exist in userspace were being included unconditionally in asm-i386/elf.h. Move the offending #includes down a few lines so that they're protected by #ifdef __KERNEL__ In fact, we probably want to kill off all userspace use of asm/elf.h -- but we aren't there yet, so we should at least make it possible to include it for now.

There's useful stuff in <linux/timex.h> but <asm/timex.h> has nothing for userspace. Stop exporting it, and include it only from within the existing #ifdef __KERNEL__ part of <linux/timex.h> This fixes a 'make headers_check' failure on i386 because asm-i386/timex.h includes both asm-i386/tsc.h and asm-i386/processor.h, neither of which are exported to userspace. It's not entirely clear _why_ it includes either of these, but it does. Signed-off-by:

We don't need any of this crap included from the user-visible part of nfs_fs.h -- remove it all. In fact, we probably don't need anything but NFS_SUPER_MAGIC to be defined; is there any need for anything else? And magic numbers should probably move to <linux/magic.h> rather than being strewn across various fs-specific include files which exist in userspace for solely that purpose. With this patch, 'make header_check' works again at least on PowerPC. Signed-off-by:

It seems that the occasional data corruption observed with the tg3 driver wasn't due to missing barriers after all, but rather seems to be due to the DART (= IOMMU) in the U4 northbridge reading stale IOMMU table entries from memory due to a race. This fixes it by making the CPU read the entry back from memory before using it. Signed-off-by:

This changes the writeX family of functions to have a sync instruction before the MMIO store rather than after, because the generally expected behaviour is that the device receiving the MMIO store can be guaranteed to see the effects of any preceding writes to normal memory. To preserve ordering between writeX and readX, and to preserve ordering between preceding stores and the readX, the readX family of functions have had an sync added before the load. Although writeX followed by spin_unlock is not officially guaranteed to keep the writeX inside the spin-locked region unless an mmiowb() is used, there are currently drivers that depend on the previous behaviour on powerpc, which was that the mmiowb wasn't actually required. Therefore we have a per-cpu flag that is set by writeX, cleared by __raw_spin_lock and mmiowb, and tested by __raw_spin_unlock. If it is set, __raw_spin_unlock does a sync and clears it. This changes both 32-bit and 64-bit readX/writeX. 32-bit already has a sync in __raw_spin_unlock (since lwsync doesn't exist on 32-bit), and thus doesn't need the per-cpu flag. Tested on G5 (PPC970) and POWER5. Signed-off-by: -
