[PATCH] Kprobes causes NX protection fault on i686 SMP
Fix a problem seen on i686 machine with NX support where the instruction
could not be single stepped because of NX bit set on the memory pages
allocated by kprobes module. This patch provides allocation of instruction
solt so that the processor can execute the instruction from that location
similar to x86_64 architecture. Thanks to Bibo and Masami for testing this
patch.

[PATCH] vgacon: no vertical resizing on EGA
EGA boards suck: they mostly have write-only registers. This is
particularly problematic for the overflow register: for being able to write
to it, we would have to handle vertical sync & such too, which (I'd say)
would potentially break a lot of configurations. Instead, just disabling
vertical resize for EGA boards is just nice enough (horizontal resize still
works).
Improve (especially for coherence) some prototypes, and return code of
init_cow_file in error case - for a short write return -EINVAL, otherwise
return the error we got!

[NET] ethernet: Fix first packet goes out with MAC 00:00:00:00:00:00
When you turn off ARP on a netdevice then the first packet always goes
out with a dstMAC of all zeroes. This is because the first packet is
used to resolve ARP entries. Even though the ARP entry may be resolved
(I tried by setting a static ARP entry for a host i was pinging from),
it gets overwritten by virtue of having the netdevice disabling ARP.
Subsequent packets go out fine with correct dstMAC address (which may
be why people have ignored reporting this issue).
To cut the story short:
the culprit code is in net/ethernet/eth.c::eth_header()
----
/*
* Anyway, the loopback-device should never use this
function...
*/
Note how the h_dest is being reset when device has IFF_NOARP.
As a note:
All devices including loopback pass a daddr. loopback in fact passes
a 0 all the time ;->
This means i can delete the check totaly or i can remove the IFF_NOARP
Alexey says:
--------------------
I think, it was me who did this crap. It was so long ago I do not remember
why it was made.
I remember some troubles with dummy device. It tried to resolve
addresses, apparently, without success and generated errors instead of
blackholing. I think the problem was eventually solved at neighbour
level.
After some thinking I suspect the deletion of this chunk could change
behaviour of some parts which do not use neighbour cache f.e. packet
socket.
I think safer approach would be to move this chunk after if (daddr).
And the possibility to remove this completely could be analyzed later.

sbp2: variable status FIFO address (fix login timeout)
Let the ieee1394 core select a suitable 1394 address range for sbp2's
status FIFO instead of using a fixed range. Since the core only selects
addresses which are guaranteed to be out of the "physical range" as per
OHCI 1.1, this patch also fixes an old bug:
OHCI controllers which implement a writeable PhysicalUpperBound register
included sbp2's status FIFO in the physical range. That way sbp2 was
never notified of a succesful login and always failed after timeout.
Affected OHCI host adapters include ALi and Fujitsu controllers.
As another side effect of this patch, the status FIFO is no longer
located in a range for which OHCI chips perform "posted writes". Each
status write now requires a response subaction. But since large data
transfers involve only few status writes, there is no measurable
decrease of I/O throughput. What's more, the status FIFO is now safe
from potential host bus errors. Nevertheless, posted writes could be
re-enabled by extensions to the ARM features of the 1394 stack.

[MIPS] Add support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for signal32
Following the recent implementation of TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK in
arch/mips/kernel/signal.c, 64-bit kernels with 32-bit user-land
compatibility oops when starting init. signal32.c needs to be
converted to use TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK too.

[MIPS] Fixes for uaccess.h with gcc >= 4.0.1
It seems current get_user() incorrectly sign-extend an unsigned int
value on 64bit kernel. I think this is because '(__typeof__(val))'
cast in final assignment. I suppose the cast should be
'(__typeof__(*(addr))'.

[PATCH] kjournald keeps reference to namespace
In daemonize() a new thread gets cleaned up and 'merged' with init_task.
The current fs_struct is handled there, but not the current namespace.
This adds the namespace part.
[ Eric Biederman pointed out the namespace wrappers, and also notes that
we can't ever count on using our parents namespace because we already
have called exit_fs(), which is the only way to the namespace from a
process. ]

[PATCH] m32r: update sys_tas() routine
This patch updates and fixes sys_tas() routine for m32r.
In the previous implementation, a lockup rarely caused at sys_tas()
routine in SMP environment.

I rewrote sys_tas() routine by using "lock -> unlock" instructions, and
utilizing the m32r's interrupt handling characteristics; the m32r processor
can accept interrupts only at the 32-bit instruction boundary. So, the
"unlock" instruction can be executed continuously after the "lock"
instruction execution without any interruptions.
In addition, to solve such a page_fault problem, I use a fixup code like
get_user().
And, as for the kernel lockup problem, we found that a calling
do_page_fault() routine with disabling interrupts might cause a lockup at
flush_tlb_others(), because we checked a completion of IPI handler's
operations in a spin-locked critical section.
Therefore, by using "lock -> unlock" code, we can implement the sys_tas()
rouitine without disabling interrupts explicitly, then no lockups would
happen at flush_tlb_others(), I hope.
Compile check and some working test in SMP environment have done.
When using the dasd diag discipline, the base discipline module (eckd or fba)
can be unloaded, even though the dasd driver requires both discipline modules
(base and diag) to work correctly.
Implement reference counting for both base and diag discipline modules in
order to fix this.

[PATCH] s390: V=V qdio fixes
Using FCP devices with V=V support, the input queue stalled when CCQ 97 had
been returned in qdio_do_eqbs. When this happen we have to reissue the eqbs
instruction.
Another bug was when V=V was enabled we checked if hardware has SIGA-sync
support. If not we returned with 0 from tiqdio_is_inbound_q_done. Thus qdio
lost initiative on FCP devices and input queue stalled. Running devices in
V=V there is no SIGA-sync support but nevertheless we have to process
tiqdio_is_inbound_q_done either.
