Recent changes to nwfpe broke the build with some gcc versions:
In file included from arch/arm/nwfpe/softfloat.c:33:
arch/arm/nwfpe/fpa11.h:32: global register variable follows a function definition
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/nwfpe/softfloat.o] Error 1Since we now ensure that the kernel stack is empty when returning
to user space, we can now access the userspace registers with
reference to the kernel stack using current_thread_info(), rather
than remembering the stack pointer at the time nwfpe was called.Signed-off-by: Russell King

Patch from Alexander Schulz
This patch brings a new default config file for the shark and
fixes a compilation issue with io addressing and a runtime
problem with the serial ports, where I corrected a wrong
regshift value.
These are all shark specific files so I hope it is ok to
put them in one patch.Signed-off-by: Alexander Schulz

I think it's about time to make the build a little more vocal about the
expiry of these functions. Due to recent discussions with problems in
the console initialisation vs power manglement, I'd like to move the
date forward to September.Signed-off-by: Russell King

The previous change to read a single byte from oob breaks the
bad block scan on 16 bit devices, when the byte is on an odd
address. Read the complete oob for now.
Remove the unused arguments from check_short_pattern()
Move the wait for ready function so it is only executed when
consecutive reads happen.Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

A malicious 32bit app can have an elf section at 0xffffe000. During
exec of this app, we will have a memory leak as insert_vm_struct() is
not checking for return value in syscall32_setup_pages() and thus not
freeing the vma allocated for the vsyscall page.Check the return value and free the vma incase of failure.

We need to be careful differentiating between a resync of a complete array,
in which we can clear the bitmap, and a resync of a degraded array, in
which we cannot.This patch cleans all that up.

This patch includes feedback from Andrew and Christoph. Thanks for
taking time to review.Use of empty_zero_page was eliminated to fix compilation for architectures
that don't have it.This patch removes setting pages up-to-date in ext2_get_xip_page and all
bug checks to verify that the page is indeed up to date. Setting the page
state on mapping to userland is bogus. None of the code patchs involved
with these pages in mm cares about the page state.still on my ToDo list: identify a place outside second extended where

- In CX88 code, some cards needs to have audio reprogramed after changing
video channel;- Tuner autodetection code seems not to work on some cards. Now,
no_autodetect insmod option allows disabling autodetection code;- Minor fixes in tea5767 to reduce integer trunc;
- There are some new Pixelview Ultra Pro cards that doesn't use TEA5767
for radio. As autodetection is capable of checking for tea, radio tuners
and addresses removed.- CX88 version number incremented.

This patch makes the command:
make ARCH=um SUBARCH=i386
work on x86_64 hosts (with support for building 32-bit binaries). This is
especially needed since 64-bit UMLs don't support 32-bit emulation for guest
binaries, currently. This has been tested in all possible cases and works.Only exception is that I've built but not tested a 64-bit binary, because I
hadn't a 64-bit filesystem available.Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso

The pcap support was not working because of some linking problems (expressing
the construct in Kbuild was a bit difficult) and because there was no user
request. Now that this has come back, here's the support.This has been tested and works on both 32 and 64-bit hosts, even when
"cross-"building 32-bit binaries.Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso

1) Cleanup an ugly hyper-nested code in Makefile (now only the arith.
expression is passed through the host bash).2) Fix a problem with GCC 2.95: according to a report from Raphael Bossek,
.remap_data : { arch/um/sys-SUBARCH/unmap_fin.o (.data .bss) } is expanded
into: .remap_data : { arch/um/sys-i386 /unmap_fin.o (.data .bss) }(because I didn't use ## to join the two tokens), thus stopping linking. Pass
the whole path from the Makefile as a simple and nice fix.Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso

*) Reorganize the two cases of sys_modify_ldt to share all the reasonably
common code.*) Avoid memory allocation when unneeded (i.e. when we are writing and the
passed buffer size is known), thus not returning ENOMEM (which isn't
allowed for this syscall, even if there is no strict "specification").*) Add copy_{from,to}_user to modify_ldt for TT mode.

A big bug has been diagnosed on hosts running the SKAS patch and built with
CONFIG_REGPARM, due to some missing prevent_tail_call().On these hosts, this workaround is needed to avoid triggering that bug,
because "to" is kept by GCC only in EBX, which is corrupted at the return of
mmap2().Since to trigger this bug int 0x80 must be used when doing the call, it rarely
manifests itself, so I'd prefer to get this merged to workaround that host
bug, since it should cause no functional change. Still, you might prefer to
drop it, I'll leave this to you.Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso

This construct is refused by GCC 4, so here's the (corrected) fix. Thanks to
Russell for noticing a stupid mistake I did when first sending this.As he noted, the code is largely suboptimal however it currently works, and
will be fixed shortly. Just read the access_ok check on fp which is NULL, or
the pointer arithmetic below which should be done with a cast to void*:frame = (struct rt_sigframe __user *)
round_down(stack_top - sizeof(struct rt_sigframe), 16) - 8;The code shows clearly that has been taken from
arch/x86_64/kernel/signal.c:setup_rt_frame(), maybe in a bit of a hurry.Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
