Currently, the numa_node of OF-devices will be overwritten during
device_register, which simply sets the node to -1. On cell machines,
this means that devices can't find their IOMMU, which is referenced
through the device's numa node.Set the numa node for OF devices with no parent, and use the
lower-level device_initialize and device_add functions, so that the
node is preserved.We can remove the call to set_dev_node in of_device_alloc, as it
will be overwritten during register.Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr

Since VSX support was added, we now have two sizes of ucontext_t;
the older, smaller size without the extra VSX state, and the new
larger size with the extra VSX state. A program using the
sys_swapcontext system call and supplying smaller ucontext_t
structures will currently get an EINVAL error if the task has
used VSX (e.g. because of calling library code that uses VSX) and
the old_ctx argument is non-NULL (i.e. the program is asking for
its current context to be saved). Thus the program will start
getting EINVAL errors on calls that previously worked.This commit changes this behaviour so that we don't send an EINVAL in
this case. It will now return the smaller context but the VSX MSR bit
will always be cleared to indicate that the ucontext_t doesn't include
the extra VSX state, even if the task has executed VSX instructions.Both 32 and 64 bit cases are updated.
[paulus@samba.org - also fix some access_ok() and get_user() calls]
Thanks to Ben Herrenschmidt for noticing this problem.

Commit 549e8152de8039506f69c677a4546e5427aa6ae7 ("powerpc: Make the
64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable") added lines to
vmlinux.lds.S to add the extra sections needed to implement a
relocatable kernel. However, those lines seem to trigger a bug in
older versions of GNU ld (such as 2.16.1) when building a
non-relocatable kernel. Since ld 2.16.1 is still a popular choice for
cross-toolchains, this adds an #ifdef to vmlinux.lds.S so the added
lines are only included when building a relocatable kernel.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

The __kdump_flag ABI is overly constraining for future development.
As of 2.6.27, the kernel entry point has 4 constraints: Offset 0 is
the starting point for the master (boot) cpu (entered with r3 pointing
to the device tree structure), offset 0x60 is code for the slave cpus
(entered with r3 set to their device tree physical id), offset 0x20 is
used by the iseries hypervisor, and secondary cpus must be well behaved
when the first 256 bytes are copied to address 0.Placing the __kdump_flag at 0x18 is bad because:
- It was taking the last 8 bytes before the iseries hypervisor data.
- It was 8 bytes for a boolean flag
- It had no way of identifying that the flag was present
- It does leave any room for the master to add any additional code
before branching, which hurts debug.
- It will be unnecessarily hard for 32 bit code to be common (8 bytes)Now that we have eliminated the use of __kdump_flag in favor of
the standard is_kdump_kernel(), this flag only controls run without
relocating the kernel to PHYSICAL_START (0), so rename it __run_at_load.Move the flag to 0x5c, 1 word before the secondary cpu entry point at
0x60. Initialize it with "run0" to say it will run at 0 unless it is
set to 1. It only exists if we are relocatable.Signed-off-by: Milton Miller

linux/crash_dump.h defines is_kdump_kernel() to be used by code that
needs to know if the previous kernel crashed instead of a (clean) boot
or reboot.This updates the just added powerpc code to use it. This is needed
for the next commit, which will remove __kdump_flag.Signed-off-by: Milton Miller

Commit 54622f10a6aabb8bb2bdacf3dd070046f03dc246 ("powerpc: Support for
relocatable kdump kernel") added a magic flag value in a register to
tell purgatory that it should be a panic kernel. This part is wrong
and is reverted by this commit.The kernel gets a list of memory blocks and a entry point from user space.
Its job is to copy the blocks into place and then branch to the designated
entry point (after turning "off" the mmu).The user space tool inserts a trampoline, called purgatory, that runs
before the user supplied code. Its job is to establish the entry
environment for the new kernel or other application based on the contents
of memory. The purgatory code is compiled and embedded in the tool,
where it is later patched using the elf symbol table using elf symbols.Since the tool knows it is creating a purgatory that will run after a
kernel crash, it should just patch purgatory (or the kernel directly)
if something needs to happen.Signed-off-by: Milton Miller

In commit f337b9c58332bdecde965b436e47ea4c94d30da0 ("epoll: drop
unnecessary test") Thomas found that there is an unnecessary (always
true) test in ep_send_events(). The callback never inserts into
->rdllink while the send loop is performed, and also does the
~EP_PRIVATE_BITS test. Given we're holding the mutex during this time,
the conditions tested inside the loop are always true.HOWEVER.
The test "!ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink)" wasn't there because we insert
into ->rdllink, but because the send-events loop might terminate before
the whole list is scanned (-EFAULT).In such cases, when the loop terminates early, and when a (leftover)
file received an event while we're performing the lockless loop, we need
such test to avoid to double insert the epoll items. The list_splice()
done a few steps below, will correctly re-insert the ones that were left
on "txlist".This should fix the kenrel.org bugzilla entry 11831.

Some userland apps seem to pass in a "0" for the seconds, and several
seconds worth of usecs to select(). The old kernels accepted this just
fine, so the new kernels must too.However, due to the upscaling of the microseconds to nanoseconds we had
some cases where we got math overflow, and depending on the GCC version
(due to inlining decisions) that actually resulted in an -EINVAL return.This patch fixes this by adding the excess microseconds to the seconds
field.Also with thanks to Marcin Slusarz for spotting some implementation bugs
in the diagnostics patches.Reported-by: Carlos R. Mafra

The default for the regulatory compatibility option is wrong;
if you picked the default you ended up with a non-functional wifi
system (at least I did on Fedora 9 with iwl4965).
I don't think even the October 2008 releases of the various distros
has the new userland so clearly the default is wrong, and also
we can't just go about deleting this in 2.6.29...Change the default to "y" and also adjust the config text a little to
reflect this.This patch fixes regression #11859

The code has both a short existence and an increasing track of failures
despite some work to amend it for -rc1. It is not just a matter of
reading the eeprom: sometimes the eeprom is read correctly, then the mac
address is not written correctly back into the mac registers.Some chipsets seem to work reliably but it is not clear at this point if
the code can simply be made to work on a per-chipset basis and post -rc1
is not the place where I want to experiment these things.Signed-off-by: Francois Romieu

If you use KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG (even with empty file) you get broken
allmodconfig/allyesconfig; CONFIG_MODULES gets turned off, with obvious
massive fallout.Breakage had been introduced when conf_set_all_new_symbols() got used
for allmodconfig et.al.What happens is that sym_calc_value(modules_sym) done in
conf_read_simple() sets SYMBOL_VALID on both modules_sym and MODULES.
When we get to conf_set_all_new_symbols(), we set sym->def[S_DEF_USER]
on everything, but it has no effect on sym->curr for the symbols that
already have SYMBOL_VALID - these are stuck.Solution: use sym_clear_all_valid() in there. Note that it makes
reevaluation of modules_sym redundant - sym_clear_all_valid() will do
that itself.[ Fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11512, says Alexey ]

As the probable result of zealous copy/pasting, many supported boards
contain sensor names with trailing whitespace. Though this is not a
huge problem, it is inconsistent with other sensor names, and with
other similar hwmon drivers.Additionally, the DMI nag message added in 2.6.27 was missing a
space between two sentence fragments -- might as well clean that up
too.Doesn't alter any kernel text, just data.

The LM99 differs from the LM86, LM89 and LM90 in that it reports
remote temperatures (temp2) 16 degrees lower than they really are. So
far we have been cheating and handled this in userspace but it really
should be handled by the driver directly.Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare
Cc: Matthew Garrett -
There are several problems in the way the hysteresis value is handled
by the lm90 driver:* In show_temphyst(), specific handling of the MAX6646 is missing, so
the hysteresis is reported incorrectly if the critical temperature
is over 127 degrees C.
* In set_temphyst(), the new hysteresis register value is written to
the chip but data->temp_hyst isn't updated accordingly, so there is
a short period of time (up to 2 seconds) where the old hystereris
value will be returned while the new one is already active.
* In set_temphyst(), the critical temperature which is used as a base
to compute the value of the hysteresis register lacks
device-specific handling. As a result, the value of the hysteresis
register might be incorrect for the ADT7461 and MAX6646 chips.Fix these 3 bugs.

This reverts commit a802dd0eb5fc97a50cf1abb1f788a8f6cc5db635 by moving
the call to init_workqueues() back where it belongs - after SMP has been
initialized.It also moves stop_machine_init() - which needs workqueues - to a later
phase using a core_initcall() instead of early_initcall(). That should
satisfy all ordering requirements, and was apparently the reason why
init_workqueues() was moved to be too early.Cc: Heiko Carstens
