This patch does the compat_sys_ptrace conversion for parisc. In addition it does convert the parisc ptrace code to use the architecture-independent ptrace infrastructure instead of own coding. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca>

The unwinder was being initialized way too late to be any use debugging early boot crashes. Instead of relying on module_init initcalls to initialize it, let's do it explicitly as early as we can.

Bang in our own start_parisc call, which initializes the PDC width, and turns on the FPU. Previously, if CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME was on, we'd attempt to use the FPU before we had enabled it, resulting in a difficult to diagnose panic. This patch causes init_per_cpu to redundantly set these for cpu0, but this is harmless.

These functions are called only when bringing up the monarch cpu, so it is safe to call them without taking the pdc spinlock. In the future, this may become relevant for lockdep, since these functions were taking spinlocks before start_kernel called the lockdep initializers.

We already did that a long time ago for pnp_system_init, but pnpacpi_init and pnpbios_init remained as subsys_initcalls, and get linked into the kernel before the arch-specific routines that finalize the PCI resources (pci_subsys_init). This means that the PnP routines would either register their resources before the PCI layer could, or would be unable to check whether a PCI resource had already been registered. Both are problematic. I wanted to do this before 2.6.27, but every time we change something like this, something breaks. That said, _every_ single time we trust some firmware (like PnP tables) more than we trust the hardware itself (like PCI probing), the problems have been worse.

This is debatable, but while we're debating it, let's disallow the combination of splice and an O_APPEND destination. It's not entirely clear what the semantics of O_APPEND should be, and POSIX apparently expects pwrite() to ignore O_APPEND, for example. So we could make up any semantics we want, including the old ones. But Miklos convinced me that we should at least give it some thought, and that accepting writes at arbitrary offsets is wrong at least for IS_APPEND() files (which always have O_APPEND set, even if the reverse isn't true: you can obviously have O_APPEND set on a regular file). So disallow O_APPEND entirely for now. I doubt anybody cares, and this way we have one less gray area to worry about.

This fixes the previous fix, which was completely wrong on closer inspection. This version has been manually tested with a user-space test harness and generates sane values. A nearly identical patch has been boot-tested. The problem arose from changing how kmalloc/kfree handled alignment padding without updating ksize to match. This brings it in sync.

On the Shuttle SN68PT, FAN_CTL2 is apparently not connected to a fan, but to something else. One user has reported instant system power-off when changing the PWM2 duty cycle, so we disable it. I use the board name string as the trigger in case the same board is ever used in other systems.

Because of rounding, in certain conditions, i.e. when in congestion avoidance state rho is smaller than 1/128 of the current cwnd, TCP Hybla congestion control starves and the cwnd is kept constant forever.

Benjamin Thery tracked down a bug that explains many instances of the error unregister_netdevice: waiting for %s to become free. Usage count = %d It turns out that netdev_run_todo can dead-lock with itself if a second instance of it is run in a thread that will then free a reference to the device waited on by the first instance. The problem is really quite silly. We were trying to create parallelism where none was required. As netdev_run_todo always follows a RTNL section, and that todo tasks can only be added with the RTNL held, by definition you should only need to wait for the very ones that you've added and be done with it. There is no need for a second mutex or spinlock. This is exactly what the following patch does. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

From: Ali Saidi <saidi@engin.umich.edu> When TCP receive copy offload is enabled it's possible that tcp_rcv_established() will cause two acks to be sent for a single packet. In the case that a tcp_dma_early_copy() is successful, copied_early is set to true which causes tcp_cleanup_rbuf() to be called early which can send an ack. Further along in tcp_rcv_established(), __tcp_ack_snd_check() is called and will schedule a delayed ACK. If no packets are processed before the delayed ack timer expires the packet will be acked twice. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk> reported a bug when setting a VLAN device down that is in promiscous mode: When the VLAN device is set down, the promiscous count on the real device is decremented by one by vlan_dev_stop(). When removing the promiscous flag from the VLAN device afterwards, the promiscous count on the real device is decremented a second time by the vlan_change_rx_flags() callback. The root cause for this is that the ->change_rx_flags() callback is invoked while the device is down. The synchronization is meant to mirror the behaviour of the ->set_rx_mode callbacks, meaning the ->open function is responsible for doing a full sync on open, the ->close() function is responsible for doing full cleanup on ->stop() and ->change_rx_flags() is meant to do incremental changes while the device is UP. Only invoke ->change_rx_flags() while the device is UP to provide the intended behaviour.

I think the problem comes from "markers: fix duplicate modpost entry" (commit d35cb360) Especially : - add_marker(mod, marker, fmt); + if (!mod->skip) + add_marker(mod, marker, fmt); } return; fail: Here is a fix that should take care if this problem.
