2005-09-21[PATCH] uml: adapt asm/futex.h to our archPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Follow up to 4732efbeb997189d9f9b04708dc26bf8613ed721 - uml must just reuse as-is the backing architecture support. There is a micro-fixup is needed for the included file, which won't affect i386 behaviour at all. I've not tested compilation on x86_64, only on x86, but the code is almost the same except the culprit test, so everything should be ok on x86_64 too.

2005-09-21[PATCH] fat: fix adateStephane Kardas
During a forensic analysis on the fat file system, I found than the result for the last access date on this file system was different between the stat command and the istat command (package tct-utils). The istat command display a true date (the right windows date) but the stat primitive (so stat, find, ls command) displays a wrong date.

2005-09-21[PATCH] ppc64: Build zImage.vmode for G5Benjamin Herrenschmidt
zImage.vmode was recently added. It's a version of zImage in which the ELF note section used by open firmware indicates that it requires a virtual mode instance of OF instead of real mode. This allows it to work with Apple OF, and thus is directly bootable (or netbootable) from OF command line. (Unfortunately, pSeries OF sort-of requires real mode and Apple OF sort-of requires virtual mode, and both tend to be unhappy if no notes section specifies the mode at all). However, we forgot to add zImage.vmode to the default G5 build. This fixes it.

2005-09-21[PATCH] PPC64: Fix boot for some pre-POWER4 systemsOlof Johansson
Some RS64 systems (such as F80) have non-python host bridges with EADS. However, they have two EADS with 4 buses each under them, so the old logic that assumed no more than 7 busses per PHB failed miserably. Big thanks to Olaf Hering for helping me test this, he's got one of the few machines that broke from the previous logic. Also, to be a bit smarter at detecting the need for a PHB-level IOMMU table by checking for the presence of an ISA bus. Only PHBs with ISA bridges should need the PHB-level table.

2005-09-21[PATCH] Add printk_clock()Andrew Morton
ia64's sched_clock() accesses per-cpu data which isn't set up at boot time. Hence ia64 cannot use printk timestamping, because printk() will crash in sched_clock(). So make printk() use printk_clock(), defaulting to sched_clock(), overrideable by the architecture via attribute(weak).

2005-09-21[PATCH] ppc64: Fix PCI flags when using OF device treePaul Mackerras

This meant that some drivers misbehaved, and /proc/pci showed the wrong types for the resources. This fixes it.

2005-09-21[SPARC] cs4231: Fix SBUS support in this driver.Christopher Zimmermann
From: Christopher Zimmermann <madroach@zakweb.de> This patch enables SBus support for the cs4231 sound driver. It is tested on an Ultra2. Capture and playback both work. I experienced lags and crashes using certain threaded players like ogg123 and mp3blaster, while the former is lagging far more. This behavior may be specific to SMP systems. It is reproducable using the dummy sound card driver. Sox works flawlessly. Setting up the calculation of ptr in snd_cs4231_playback_pointer was a bit strange. I got it to work by not incrementing the [pc]_periods_sent counter when starting DMA the first time in cs4231_dma_trigger. Therefore this dummy thing.

2005-09-21[TCP]: Set default congestion control correctly for incoming connections.Stephen Hemminger
Patch from Joel Sing to fix the default congestion control algorithm for incoming connections. If a new congestion control handler is added (via module), it should become the default for new connections. Instead, the incoming connections use reno. The cause is incorrect initialisation causes the tcp_init_congestion_control() function to return after the initial if test fails.

2005-09-21[AF_PACKET]: Allow for > 8 byte hardware addresses.Eric W. Biederman
The convention is that longer addresses will simply extend the hardeware address byte arrays at the end of sockaddr_ll and packet_mreq. In making this change a small information leak was also closed. The code only initializes the hardware address bytes that are used, but all of struct sockaddr_ll was copied to userspace. Now we just copy sockaddr_ll to the last byte of the hardware address used. For error checking larger structures than our internal maximums continue to be allowed but an error is signaled if we can not fit the hardware address into our internal structure.

ipoib_mcast_restart_task() is always called from within the single-threaded IPoIB workqueue, so flushing the workqueue from within the function can lead to a recursion overflow. But since we're running in a single-threaded workqueue, we're already synchronized against other items in the workqueue, so just get rid of the flush in ipoib_mcast_restart_task().
