2008-06-12rtc: Ramtron FM3130 RTC supportSergey Lapin
Ramtron FM3130 is a chip with two separate devices inside, RTC clock and FRAM. This driver provides only RTC functionality. This chip is met in lots of custom boards with AT91SAMXXXX CPU I work with, is cheap and in no way better or worse than any other RTC on market. While it is mostly met on much smaller devices, I think it is great to have it supported in Linux.

More Kconfig tweaks related to the legacy PC RTC code: - Describe the legacy PC RTC driver as such ... it's never quite been clear that this driver is for PC RTCs, and now it's fair to call this the "legacy" driver. - Force it to understand about HPET stealing its IRQs ... kernel code does this always when HPET is in use, there should be no option for users to goof up the config.

2008-06-12provide rtc_cmos platform deviceStas Sergeev
Recently (around 2.6.25) I've noticed that RTC no longer works for me. It turned out this is because I use pnpacpi=off kernel option to work around the parport_pc bugs. I always did so, but RTC used to work fine in the past, and now it have regressed. The patch fixes the problem by creating the platform device for the RTC when PNP is disabled. This may also help running the PNP-enabled kernel on an older PCs.

2008-06-12radix-tree: fix small lockless radix-tree bugNick Piggin
We shrink a radix tree when its root node has only one child, in the left most slot. The child becomes the new root node. To perform this operation in a manner compatible with concurrent lockless lookups, we atomically switch the root pointer from the parent to its child. However a concurrent lockless lookup may now have loaded a pointer to the parent (and is presently deciding what to do next). For this reason, we also have to keep the parent node in a valid state after shrinking the tree, until the next RCU grace period -- otherwise this lookup with the parent pointer may not do the right thing. Notably, we need to keep the child in the left most slot there in case that is requested by the lookup. This is all pretty standard RCU stuff. It is worth repeating because in my eagerness to obey the radix tree node constructor scheme, I had broken it by zeroing the radix tree node before the grace period. What could happen is that a lookup can load the parent pointer, then decide it wants to follow the left most child slot, only to find the slot contained NULL due to the concurrent shrinker having zeroed the parent node before waiting for a grace period. The lookup would return a false negative as a result. Fix it by doing that clearing in the RCU callback. I would normally want to rip out the constructor entirely, but radix tree nodes are one of those places where they make sense (only few cachelines will be touched soon after allocation). This was never actually found in any lockless pagecache testing or by the test harness, but by seeing the odd problem with my scalable vmap rewrite. I have not tickled the test harness into reproducing it yet, but I'll keep working at it. Fortunately, it is not a problem anywhere lockless pagecache is used in mainline kernels (pagecache probe is not a guarantee, and brd does not have concurrent lookups and deletes).

2008-06-12/proc/sysvipc/shm: fix 32-bit truncation of segment sizesPaul Menage
sysvipc_shm_proc_show() picks between format strings (based on the expected maximum length of a SHM segment) in a way that prevents gcc from performing format checks on the seq_printf() parameters. This hid two format errors - shp->shm_segsz and shp->shm_nattach are both unsigned long, but were being printed as unsigned int and signed int respectively. This leads to 32-bit truncation of SHM segment sizes reported in /proc/sysvipc/shm. (And for nattach, but that's less of a problem for most users). This patch makes the format string directly visible to gcc's format specifier checker, and fixes the two broken format specifiers.

2008-06-12fat: relax the permission check of fat_setattr()OGAWA Hirofumi
New chmod() allows only acceptable permission, and if not acceptable, it returns -EPERM. Old one allows even if it can't store permission to on disk inode. But it seems too strict for users. E.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449080: With new one, rsync couldn't create the temporary file. So, this patch allows like old one, but now it doesn't change the permission if it can't store, and it returns 0. Also, this patch fixes missing check.
