Since commit 4cb3cee03d558fd457cb58f56c80a2a09a66110c the code generated
for the in_beXX() and out_beXX() mmio functions has been sub-optimal.
The out_leXX() family of functions are created with the macro
DEF_MMIO_OUT_LE() while the out_beXX() family are created with
DEF_MMIO_OUT_BE(). In what was perhaps a bit too much macro use, both of
these macros are in turn created via the macro DEF_MMIO_OUT().
For the LE versions, eventually they boil down to an asm that will look
something like this:
asm("sync; stwbrx %1,0,%2" : "=m" (*addr) : "r" (val), "r" (addr));
The issue is that the "stwbrx" instruction only comes in an indexed, or
'x', version, in which the address is represented by the sum of two
registers (the "0,%2"). Unfortunately, gcc doesn't have a constraint for
an indexed memory reference. The "m" constraint allows both indexed and
offset, i.e. register plus constant, memory references and there is no
"stwbr" version for offset references. "m" also allows updating addresses
and there is no 'u' version of "stwbrx" like there is with "stwux".
The unused first operand to the asm is just to tell gcc that *addr is an
output of the asm. The address used is passed in a single register via the
third asm operand, and the index register is just hard coded as 0. This
means gcc is forced to put the address in a single register and can't use
index addressing, e.g. if one has the data in register 9, a base address in
register 3 and an index in register 4, gcc must emit code like "add 11,4,3;
stwbrx 9,0,11" instead of just "stwbrx 9,4,3". This costs an extra add
instruction and another register.
For gcc 4.0 and older, there doesn't appear to be anything that can be
done. But for 4.1 and newer, there is a 'Z' constraint. It does not allow
"updating" addresses, but does allow both indexed and offset addresses.
However, the only allowed constant offset is 0. We can then use the
undocumented 'y' operand modifier, which causes gcc to convert "0(reg)"
into the equivilient "0,reg" format that can be used with stwbrx.
This brings us the to problem with the BE version. In this case, the "stw"
instruction does have both indexed and non-indexed versions. The final asm
ends up looking like this:
asm("sync; stw%U0%X0 %1,%0" : "=m" (*addr) : "r" (val), "r" (addr));
The undocumented codes "%U0" and "%0X" will generate a 'u' if the memory
reference should be an auto-updating one, and an 'x' if the memory
reference is indexed, respectively. The third operand is unused, it's just
there because asm the code is reused from the LE version. However, gcc
does not know this, and generates unnecessary code to stick addr in a
register! To use the example from the LE version, gcc will generate "add
11,4,3; stwx 9,4,3". It is able to use the indexed address "4,3" for the
"stwx", but still thinks it needs to put 4+3 into register 11, which will
never be used.
This also ends up happening a lot for the offset addressing mode, where
common code like this: out_be32(&device_registers->some_register, data);
uses an instruction like "stw 9, 42(3)", where register 3 has the pointer
device_registers and 42 is the offset of some_register in that structure.
gcc will be forced to generate the unnecessary instruction "addi 11, 3, 42"
to put the address into a single (unused) register.
The in_* versions end up having these exact same problems as well.

When I changed irq_alloc_host() to take an of_node
(52964f87c64e6c6ea671b5bf3030fb1494090a48: "Add an optional
device_node pointer to the irq_host"), I botched the reference
counting semantics.
Stephen pointed out that it's irq_alloc_host()'s business if
it needs to take an additional reference to the device_node,
the caller shouldn't need to care.

The ehea driver was recently changed[1] to use walk_memory_resource() to
detect the system's memory layout. However, walk_memory_resource() is
available only when memory hotplug is enabled. So CONFIG_EHEA was
made to depend on MEMORY_HOTPLUG [2], but it is inappropriate for a
network driver to have such a dependency.
Make the declaration of walk_memory_resource() and its powerpc
implementation (ehea is powerpc-specific) unconditionally available.

When building a signal or a ucontext, we can incorrectly set the MSR_VEC
bit of the kernel pt_regs->msr before returning to userspace if the task
-ever- used VMX.
This can lead to funny result if that stack used it in the past, then
"lost" it (ie. it wasn't enabled after a context switch for example)
and then called get_context. It can end up with VMX enabled and the
registers containing values from some other task.

Packet sending is driven by two flags, tx_ready and tx_queued.
It was possible, that there were queued data for sending and
hardware was flagged as blocked but in fact it was not.
The tx_queued was indicator but should be really a counter else
first fragmented packet resets tx_queued flag, but there may be
pending packets which do not get sent.
New semantics:
tx_ready - set, if hw is ready to send packet, no packet is being
transferred right now
set the flag right at the place where data are copied
into hw memory and not earlier without checking if it
was succesful
tx_queued - count of enqueued packets, including fragments

introduced a /proc/self/net directory without bumping the corresponding
link count for /proc/self.
This patch replaces the static link count initializations with a call that
counts the number of directory entries in the given pid_entry table
whenever it is instantiated, and thus relieves the burden of manually
keeping the two in sync.

There is a bug when we are trying to verify that the reserve inode's
double indirect blocks point back to the primary gdt blocks. The fix is
obvious, we need to mod the gdb count by the addr's per block. You can
verify this with the following test case
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk1 seek=1024 count=1 bs=100M
losetup /dev/loop1 disk1
pvcreate /dev/loop1
vgcreate loopvg1 /dev/loop1
lvcreate -l 100%VG loopvg1 -n looplv1
mkfs.ext3 -J size=64 -b 1024 /dev/loopvg1/looplv1
mount /dev/loopvg1/looplv1 /mnt/loop
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk2 seek=1024 count=1 bs=50M

pvcreate /dev/loop2
vgextend loopvg1 /dev/loop2

Provide documentation of the kernel-doc documentation conventions oriented
to kernel hackers.
Since I figure that there will be more people reading this
kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file who are kernel developers focused on the
rest of the kernel, than there will be readers of this file who are
documentation developers extracting that embedded kernel-doc
documentation, I have taken the liberty of making the new section added
here:
How to format kernel-doc comments
the first section of the kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file.
This first section is intended to introduce, motivate and provide basic
usage of the kernel-doc mechanism for kernel hackers developing other
portions of the kernel.

Frame buffer and mode setting drivers can be built as modules,
so fb_mode_option needs to be exported to support these.
Prevents this error:
ERROR: "fb_mode_option" [drivers/ps3/ps3av_mod.ko] undefined!

I made a change to u-boot that used the FP (Fractional Part) field of BRGR
to achieve more accurate baud rate generation. Unfortunately, the
atmel_serial driver looks at the whole BRGR register when trying to detect
the baud rate that the port is currently running at, so setting FP to a
nonzero value breaks the baud rate detection.
I'll sit on the u-boot patch for a while longer, but this is clearly a
bug in the atmel_serial driver which should be fixed.

When posting:
[PATCH 1/8] Scaling msgmni to the amount of lowmem
(see http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/11/171), I have added a KERN_INFO message
that is output each time msgmni is recomputed.
In http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/29/575 Tony Luck complained that this
message references an ipc namespace address that is useless.
I first thought of using an audit_log instead of a printk, as suggested by
Serge Hallyn. But unfortunately, we do not have any other information
than the namespace address to provide here too. So I chose to move the
message and output it only at boot time, removing the reference to the
namespace.

When posting:
[PATCH 1/8] Scaling msgmni to the amount of lowmem
(see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/637849/) I changed the
MSGPOOL value to make it fit what is said in the man pages (i.e. a size
in bytes).
But Michael Kerrisk rightly complained that this change could affect the
ABI. So I'm posting this patch to make MSGPOOL expressed back in Kbytes.
Michael, on his side, has fixed the man page.

Original report: """I used to force my console to black-on-white by the
command `setterm -inversescreen on`. In 2.6.26-rc4, I get lots of black
background characters."""
Another addendum to commit c9e587ab. This was previously missed out since
I was not aware of what vc_decscnm was for.

If cpu specific cpufreq driver(i.e. longrun) has "setpolicy" function,
governor object isn't set into cpufreq_policy object at "__cpufreq_set_policy"
function in driver/cpufreq/cpufreq.c .
This causes a null object access at "store_scaling_setspeed" and
"show_scaling_setspeed" function in driver/cpufreq/cpufreq.c when reading or
writing through /sys interface (ex. cat
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed)
