  • f400e198b   [PATCH] pidspace: is_init() ... Browse Code »

    This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
    (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
    replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().

    Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
    patches for now.

    Eric's original description:

    There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
    because we give it special properties. Most significantly init
    must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test
    ->pid == 1.

    Introduce is_init to capture this case.

    With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
    looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
    process that has pid == 1.

  • ca9bda00b   [PATCH] tty locking on resize ... Browse Code »

    The current kernel serializes console resizes but does not serialize the
    resize against the tty structure updates. This means that while two
    parallel resizes cannot mess up the console you can get incorrect results
    reported.

    Secondly while doing this I added vc_lock_resize() to lock and resize the
    console. This leaves all knowledge of the console_sem in the vt/console
    driver and kicks it out of the tty layer, which is good

    Thirdly while doing this I decided I couldn't stand "disallocate" any
    longer so I switched it to "deallocate".

  • d4328b40a   [PATCH] console utf-8 mode fixes ... Browse Code »

    Fix utf-8 mode so alternate charset modes always work according to control
    sequences interpreted in do_con_trol function preserving backward US-ASCII
    and VT100 semigraphics compatibility.

    Malformed utf-8 sequences are represented as sequences of replacement
    glyphs,original codes or '?' as a last resort.

    unicode-xterm, gnome-terminal, kconsole and other terminal emulators in
    utf-8 mode respect acsc, enacs, rmacs sequences. Also I found that some
    important system programs (from Debian distro) uses acsc in utf-8 mode -
    dselect, aptitude, w3m for example.

    Jon Smirl noted a couple of tty driver functions now are quite misleadingly
    named with the death of devfs. A quick grep found another case in the lp
    driver.

  • c24c95a08   [PATCH] fix Intel RNG detection ... Browse Code »

    Previously, since determination whether there was an Intel random number
    generator was based on a single bit, on systems with a matching bridge
    device but without a firmware hub, there was a 50% chance that the code
    would incorrectly decide that the system had an RNG. This patch adds
    detection of the firmware hub to better qualify the existence of an RNG.

    There is one issue with the patch: I was unable to determine the LPC
    equivalent for the PCI bridge 8086:2430 (since the old code didn't care
    about which of the many devices provided by the ICH/ESB it was chose to use
    the PCI bridge device, but the FWH settings live in the LPC device, so the
    device list needed to be changed).

  • 2e0c1f6ce   [PATCH] DMI: Decode and save OEM String information ... Browse Code »

    This teaches dmi_decode() how to decode and save OEM Strings (type 11) DMI
    information, which is currently discarded silently. Existing code using
    DMI is not affected. Follows the "System Management BIOS (SMBIOS)
    Specification" (http://www.dmtf.org/standards/smbios), and also the
    userspace dmidecode.c code.

    OEM Strings are the only safe way to identify some hardware, e.g., the
    ThinkPad embedded controller used by the soon-to-be-submitted tp_smapi
    driver. This will also let us eliminate the long whitelist in the mainline
    hdaps driver (in a future patch).

    Convert loop.c from the deprecated kernel_thread to kthread. This patch
    simplifies the code quite a bit and passes similar testing to the previous
    submission on both emulated x86 and s390.

    Changes since last submission:
    switched to using a rather simple loop based on
    wait_event_interruptible.
