2009-04-13PM/Hibernate: Wait for SCSI devices scan to complete during resumeRafael J. Wysocki
There is a race between resume from hibernation and the asynchronous scanning of SCSI devices and to prevent it from happening we need to call scsi_complete_async_scans() during resume from hibernation. In addition, if the resume from hibernation is userland-driven, it's better to wait for all device probes in the kernel to complete before attempting to open the resume device.

2009-04-13add some long-missing capabilities to fs_maskSerge E. Hallyn
When POSIX capabilities were introduced during the 2.1 Linux cycle, the fs mask, which represents the capabilities which having fsuid==0 is supposed to grant, did not include CAP_MKNOD and CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE. However, before capabilities the privilege to call these did in fact depend upon fsuid==0. This patch introduces those capabilities into the fsmask, restoring the old behavior. See the thread starting at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/11/157 for reference. Note that if this fix is deemed valid, then earlier kernel versions (2.4 and 2.2) ought to be fixed too.

2009-04-12lockdep: continue lock debugging despite some taintsFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: broaden lockdep checks Lockdep is disabled after any kernel taints. This might be convenient to ignore bad locking issues which sources come from outside the kernel tree. Nevertheless, it might be a frustrating experience for the staging developers or those who experience a warning but are focused on another things that require lockdep. The v2 of this patch simply don't disable anymore lockdep in case of TAINT_CRAP and TAINT_WARN events.

2009-04-12lockdep: warn about lockdep disabling after kernel taintFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: provide useful missing info for developers Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings, load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc... But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint disables lockdep without ever warning about it. Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development. This patch adds this missing warning. Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main information. v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an open coded xchg().

2009-04-11async: Fix module loading async-work regressionLinus Torvalds
Several drivers use asynchronous work to do device discovery, and we synchronize with them in the compiled-in case before we actually try to mount root filesystems etc. However, when compiled as modules, that synchronization is missing - the module loading completes, but the driver hasn't actually finished probing for devices, and that means that any user mode that expects to use the devices after the 'insmod' is now potentially broken. We already saw one case of a similar issue in the ACPI battery code, where the kernel itself expected the module to be all done, and unmapped the init memory - but the async device discovery was still running. That got hacked around by just removing the "__init" (see commit 5d38258ec026921a7b266f4047ebeaa75db358e5 "ACPI battery: fix async boot oops"), but the real fix is to just make the module loading wait for all async work to be completed. It will slow down module loading, but since common devices should be built in anyway, and since the bug is really annoying and hard to handle from user space (and caused several S3 resume regressions), the simple fix to wait is the right one. This fixes at least http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13063 but probably a few other bugzilla entries too (12936, for example), and is confirmed to fix Rafael's storage driver breakage after resume bug report (no bugzilla entry). We should also be able to now revert that ACPI battery fix. Reported-and-tested-by: Rafael J.

2009-04-11kbuild: fix spurious initramfs rebuildMaxime Bizon
When gen_initramfs_list is used to generate make dependencies, it includes symbolic links, for which make tracks the link target. Any change to that target will cause an initramfs rebuild, even if the symlink points to something outside of the initramfs directory. If the target happens to be /tmp, the rebuild occurs for each kernel build, since gen_initramfs_list uses mktemp... Proposed way to fix it is to omit symbolic links from generated dependencies, but this has a small drawback: changing perm/owner on a symlink will go unnoticed.

Make it possible for the linker to discard local symbols from vmlinux as they cause vmlinux to balloon when CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y and they cause dump_stack() and get_wchan() to produce useless information under some circumstances.

2009-04-11kconfig: fix update-po-config to accect backslash in inputSam Ravnborg
Massimo Maiurana reported (slightly edited): ===== In latest 2.6.29 "make update-po-config" fails at msguniq invocation with an "invalid control sequence" error. The offending string is the following, and it's located in drivers/staging/panel/Kconfig:72: "'\e[L' which are specific to the LCD, and a few ANSI codes. The" looks to me like gettext expects strings in printf format, so in this case it thinks "\e" is a control sequence but doesn't recognise it as a valid one. A valid solution would be to tell kxgettext to automatically escape this kind of strings in the */config.pot he produces, so that msguniq would not complain. ===== This patch implements the suggested escaping.

2009-04-10intel-iommu: Avoid panic() for DRHD at address zero.David Woodhouse
If the BIOS does something obviously stupid, like claiming that the registers for the IOMMU are at physical address zero, then print a nasty message and abort, rather than trying to set up the IOMMU and then later panicking. It's becoming more and more obvious that trusting this stuff to the BIOS was a mistake. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
2009-04-11sh: Plug in support for ARCH=sh64 using sh SRCARCH.Paul Mundt
This adds in support for building with ARCH=sh64 using the sh SRCARCH. This tidies up the randconfig generation somewhat to make sure that we don't end up with impossible configurations, and without having to rely on things like KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG to detect the proper CPU support subset.
