2010-09-29pcmcia: move config_{base,index,regs} to struct pcmcia_deviceDominik Brodowski
Several drivers prefer to explicitly set config_{base,index,regs}, formerly known as ConfigBase, ConfigIndex and Present. Instead of passing these values inside config_req_t, store it in struct pcmcia_device.

2010-09-29pcmcia: simplify IntTypeDominik Brodowski
IntType was only set to INT_MEMORY (driver pcmciamtd) or INT_MEMORY_AND_IO (all other drivers). As this flags seems to relate to ioport access, make it conditional to the driver having requested IO port access. There are two drivers which do not request IO ports, but did set INT_MEMORY_AND_IO: ray_cs and b43. For those, we consistently only set INT_MEMORY in future.

2010-09-29pcmcia: simplify Status, ExtStatus register accessDominik Brodowski
The Status (CISREG_CCSR) and ExtStatus (CISREG_ESR) registers were only accessed to enable audio output for some drivers and IRQ for serial_cs.c. The former also required setting config_req_t.Attributes to CONF_ENABLE_SPKR; the latter can be simplified to setting this field to CONF_ENABLE_ESR.

2010-09-29pcmcia: remove Pin, Copy configuration register accessDominik Brodowski
The "Pin" and "Copy" configuration registers (CISREG_SCR, CISREG_PPR) do not seem to be utilized anywhere. If a device would request a write to these registers, "0" would be written. Continue to do so, but warn of unexpected behavior -- and remove the "Pin" and "Copy" entries from config_req_t.

2010-09-29pcmcia: split up modify_configuration() into two fixup functionsDominik Brodowski
pcmcia_modify_configuration() was only used by two drivers to fix up one issue each: setting the Vpp to a different value, and reducing the IO width to 8 bit.

2010-09-29pcmcia: do not use win_req_t when calling pcmcia_request_window()Dominik Brodowski
Instead of win_req_t, drivers are now requested to fill out struct pcmcia_device *p_dev->resource[2,3,4,5] for up to four iomem ranges.

2010-09-28ahci: fix module refcount breakage introduced by libahci splitTejun Heo
libata depends on scsi_host_template for module reference counting and sht's should be owned by each low level driver. During libahci split, the sht was left with libahci.ko leaving the actual low level drivers not reference counted. This made ahci and ahci_platform always unloadable even while they're being actively used. Fix it by defining AHCI_SHT() macro in ahci.h and defining a sht for each low level ahci driver. stable: only applicable to 2.6.35.

Commit e40cc4bdfd4b89813f072f72bd9c7055814d3f0f introduced a build breakage if CONFIG_SMP is undefined. This commit fixes the problem. This fix is only a workaround. For a real fix, cpu_sibling_mask() should be defined in UP include code, eg in linux/smp.h, and asm/smp.h should not be included directly. This fix is currently not possible because asm/smp.h defines cpu_sibling_mask() unconditionally and is included directly from many source files.

Fixes kernel bugzilla #16603 tcp_sendmsg() truncates iov_len to an 'int' which a 4GB write to write zero bytes, for example. There is also the problem higher up of how verify_iovec() works. It wants to prevent the total length from looking like an error return value. However it does this using 'int', but syscalls return 'long' (and thus signed 64-bit on 64-bit machines). So it could trigger false-positives on 64-bit as written. So fix it to use 'long'.

2010-09-27Fix pktcdvd ioctl dev_minor range checkDan Rosenberg
The PKT_CTRL_CMD_STATUS device ioctl retrieves a pointer to a pktcdvd_device from the global pkt_devs array. The index into this array is provided directly by the user and is a signed integer, so the comparison to ensure that it falls within the bounds of this array will fail when provided with a negative index. This can be used to read arbitrary kernel memory or cause a crash due to an invalid pointer dereference. This can be exploited by users with permission to open /dev/pktcdvd/control (on many distributions, this is readable by group "cdrom").

p9_virtio_create will only compare the the channel's tag characters against the device name till the end of the channel's tag but not till the end of the device name. This means that if a user defines channels with the tags foo and foobar then he would mount foo when he requested foonot and may mount foo when he requested foobar.

2010-09-27de2104x: fix ethtoolOndrej Zary
When the interface is up, using ethtool breaks it because: a) link is put down but media_timer interval is not shortened to NO_LINK b) rxtx is stopped but not restarted Also manual 10baseT-HD (and probably FD too - untested) mode does not work - the link is forced up, packets are transmitted but nothing is received. Changing CSR14 value to match documentation (not disabling link check) fixes this.

This patch (commit 690a1f2002a3091bd18a501f46c9530f10481463) added a new call site for acpi_set_WOL() without checking that the function is actually suitable to be called via vortex_set_wol+0xcd/0xe0 [3c59x] dev_ethtool+0xa5a/0xb70 dev_ioctl+0x2e0/0x4b0 T.961+0x49/0x50 sock_ioctl+0x47/0x290 do_vfs_ioctl+0x7f/0x340 sys_ioctl+0x80/0xa0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b i.e. outside of code paths run when the device is not yet enabled or already disabled. In particular, putting the device into D3hot is a pretty bad idea when it was already brought up. Furthermore, all prior callers of the function made sure they're actually dealing with a PCI device, while the newly added one didn't. In the same spirit, the .get_wol handler shouldn't indicate support for WOL for non-PCI devices. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The PL310 on the ct-ca9x4 tile for the Versatile Express does not need to add additional latency when accessing its cache RAMs. Unfortunately, the boot monitor sets this up for an 8-cycle delay on reads and writes, resulting in greatly reduced memory performance when the L2 cache is enabled.

f4347553b30ec66530bfe63c84530afea3803396 removed the edac polling mechanism in favor of using a notifier chain for conveying MCE information to edac. However, the module removal path didn't test whether the driver had setup the polling function workqueue at all and the rmmod process was hanging in the kernel at try_to_del_timer_sync() in the cancel_delayed_work() path, trying to cancel an uninitialized work struct. Fix that by adding a balancing check to the workqueue removal path. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>
2010-09-26x86: Avoid 'constant_test_bit()' misoptimization due to cast to non-volatileAlexander Chumachenko
While debugging bit_spin_lock() hang, it was tracked down to gcc-4.4 misoptimization of non-inlined constant_test_bit() due to non-volatile addr when 'const volatile unsigned long *addr' cast to 'unsigned long *' with subsequent unconditional jump to pause (and not to the test) leading to hang. Compiling with gcc-4.3 or disabling CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING yields inlined constant_test_bit() and correct jump, thus working around the kernel bug. Other arches than asm-x86 may implement this slightly differently; 2.6.29 mitigates the misoptimization by changing the function prototype (commit c4295fbb6048d85f0b41c5ced5cbf63f6811c46c) but probably fixing the issue itself is better.
