Keith says
Compiling 2.6.19-rc6 with gcc version 4.1.0 (SUSE Linux), wait_hpet_tick is
optimized away to a never ending loop and the kernel hangs on boot in timer
setup.0000001a :
1a: 55 push %ebp
1b: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp
1d: eb fe jmp 1dThis is not a problem with gcc 3.3.5. Adding barrier() calls to
wait_hpet_tick does not help, making the variables volatile does.And the consensus is that gcc-4.1.0 is busted. Suse went and shipped
gcc-4.1.0 so we cannot ban it. Add a warning.Cc: Keith Owens

The pl010 primecell documentation specifies that an error indicated via RSR
should be cleared by a write to ECR. We didn't do this, which was causing
errors to be re-reported on every call to pl010_rx_chars().Doing a write to ECR once we detect an error appears to prevent the ep93xx
console UART driver from going into a mode where it reports "ttyAM0: X
input overrun(s)" every couple of keystrokes.Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek

The real time clocks ds1742 and ds1743 differs only in the size of the
nvram. This patch changes the existing ds1742 driver to support also
ds1743. The main change is that the nvram size is determined from the
resource attached to the device.The patch have benefitted from suggestions from Atsushi Nemeto, who is the
author of the ds1742 driver.Signed-off-by: Torsten Rasmussen Rasmussen

It is possible to have tasklets get scheduled before softirqd has had a chance
to spawn on all CPUs. This is totally harmless; after success during action
CPU_UP_PREPARE, action CPU_ONLINE will be called, which immediately wakes
softirqd on the appropriate CPU to process the already pending tasklets. So
there is no danger of having a missed wakeup for any tasklets that were
already pending.In particular, i386 is affected by this during startup, and is visible when
using a very large initrd; during the time it takes for the initrd to be
decompressed, a timer IRQ can come in and schedule RCU callbacks. It is also
possible that resending of a hardware IRQ via a softirq triggers the same bug.Because of different timing conditions, this shows up in all emulators and
virtual machines tested, including Xen, VMware, Virtual PC, and Qemu. It is
also possible to trigger on native hardware with a large enough initrd,
although I don't have a reliable case demonstrating that.Signed-off-by: Zachary Amsden

When kernel is compiled with old version of autofs (CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS), and
new (observed at least with 5.x.x) automount deamon is started, kernel

then screws things up instead of correct handling of the error:autofs: kernel does not match daemon version

Leftover inexact backtrace:
=======================and then deadlock comes.
The problem: autofs_fill_super() returns EINVAL to get_sb_nodev(), but
before that, it calls kill_anon_super() to destroy the superblock which
won't be needed. This is however way too soon to call kill_anon_super(),
because get_sb_nodev() has to perform its own cleanup of the superblock
first (deactivate_super(), etc.). The correct time to call
kill_anon_super() is in the autofs_kill_sb() callback, which is called by
deactivate_super() at proper time, when the superblock is ready to be
killed.I can see the same faulty codepath also in autofs4. This patch solves
issues in both filesystems in a same way - it postpones the
kill_anon_super() until the proper time is signalized by deactivate_super()
calling the kill_sb() callback.[raven@themaw.net: update comment]

In the current jbd code, if a buffer on BJ_SyncData list is dirty and not
locked, the buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list, submitted to the IO and
waited for IO completion.But the fsstress test showed the case that when a buffer was already
submitted to the IO just before the buffer_dirty(bh) check, the buffer was
not waited for IO completion.Following patch solves this problem. If it is assumed that a buffer is
submitted to the IO before the buffer_dirty(bh) check and still being
written to disk, this buffer is refiled to BJ_Locked list.Signed-off-by: Hisashi Hifumi
