2008-03-24hw_random doc updatesDavid Brownell
Update documentation for the hw_random support to be current: - Documentation/hw_random.txt has been updated to reflect the current code: it's a framework now, a "core" with a small sysfs interface, that hardware-specific drivers plug in to. Text specific to Intel hardware is now at the end. - Kconfig now references the Documentation/hw_random.txt file and better explains what this really does. Both chunks of documentation now higlight the fact that the kernel entropy pool is maintained by "rngd", and this driver has nothing directly to do with that important task.

2008-03-19drivers/char/rocket portability fixesAl Viro
unsigned long != __le32, TYVM, and unsigned char[4] is not guaranteed to be aligned for u32. While we are at it, sanitize sOutDW() a bit - have it take Byte_t * and handle dereferencing internally. NB: sWriteTxPrioByte() is almost certainly buggered on big-endian and is missing cpu_to_le16() on assignments to *WordPtr; I've left it alone for now.

2008-03-17drm/via: attempt again to stabilise the AGP DMA command submission.Thomas Hellstrom

2008-03-17drm: Fix race that can lockup the kernelMike Isely
The i915_vblank_swap() function schedules an automatic buffer swap upon receipt of the vertical sync interrupt. Such an operation is lengthy so it can't be allowed to happen in normal interrupt context, thus the DRM implements this by scheduling the work in a kernel softirq-scheduled tasklet. In order for the buffer swap to work safely, the DRM's central lock must be taken, via a call to drm_lock_take() located in drivers/char/drm/drm_irq.c within the function drm_locked_tasklet_func(). The lock-taking logic uses a non-interrupt-blocking spinlock to implement the manipulations needed to take the lock. This semantic would be safe if all attempts to use the spinlock only happen from process context. However this buffer swap happens from softirq context which is really a form of interrupt context. Thus we have an unsafe situation, in that drm_locked_tasklet_func() can block on a spinlock already taken by a thread in process context which will never get scheduled again because of the blocked softirq tasklet. This wedges the kernel hard. To trigger this bug, run a dual-head cloned mode configuration which uses the i915 drm, then execute an opengl application which synchronizes buffer swaps against the vertical sync interrupt. In my testing, a lockup always results after running anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour and a half. I believe dual-head is needed to really trigger the problem because then the vertical sync interrupt handling is no longer predictable (due to being interrupt-sourced from two different heads running at different speeds). This raises the probability of the tasklet trying to run while the userspace DRI is doing things to the GPU (and manipulating the DRM lock). The fix is to change the relevant spinlock semantics to be the interrupt-blocking form. After this change I am no longer able to trigger the lockup; the longest test run so far was 20 hours (test stopped after that point). Note: I have examined the places where this spinlock is being employed; all are reasonably short bounded sequences and should be suitable for interrupts being blocked without impacting overall kernel interrupt response latency.

2008-03-04drivers/char/isicom.c: correct use of ! and &Julia Lawall
In commit e6bafba5b4765a5a252f1b8d31cbf6d2459da337 ("wmi: (!x & y) strikes again"), a bug was fixed that involved converting !x & y to !(x & y). The code below shows the same pattern, and thus should perhaps be fixed in the same way. This is not tested and clearly changes the semantics, so it is only something to consider.

2008-02-19fix historic ioremap() abuse in AGPArjan van dev Ven
Several AGP drivers right now use ioremap_nocache() on kernel ram in order to turn a page of regular memory uncached. There are two problems with this: 1) This is a total nightmare for the ioremap() implementation to keep various mappings of the same page coherent. 2) It's a total nightmare for the AGP code since it adds a ton of complexity in terms of keeping track of 2 different pointers to the same thing, in terms of error handling etc etc. This patch fixes this by making the AGP drivers use the new set_memory_XX APIs instead. Note: amd-k7-agp.c is built on Alpha too, and generic.c is built on ia64 as well, which do not yet have the set_memory_*() APIs, so for them some we have a few ugly #ifdefs - hopefully they'll be fixed soon.
