2008-11-06vt: incomplete initialization of vc_tab_stopWolfgang Kroworsch
Problem 1 (see patch below): vc_tab_stop is declared as an array of 8 unsigned ints in struct vc_data in include/linux/console_struct.h . In drivers/char/vt.c only 5 of these 8 unsigned ints get initialized leading to unintended tabulator placement on displays with more than 160 columns text. Problem 2 (open): Upcoming displays will have more than 256 columns of text leading to invalid memory access in drivers/char/vt.c during tabulator calculations: if (vc->vc_tab_stop[vc->vc_x >> 5] & (1 << (vc->vc_x & 31))) break; Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Kroworsch <wolfgang@kroworsch.de> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-11-01saner FASYNC handling on file closeAl Viro
As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync() need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget. So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set. And lose that crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we don't have to bother anymore.

The ipmi_devintf module contains the userspace interface for IPMI devices, yet will not be loaded automatically with a system interface handler driver.

2008-10-22hvc_console: Add support for tty window resizingHendrik Brueckner
The patch provides the hvc_resize() function to update the terminal window dimensions (struct winsize) for a specified hvc console. The function stores the new window size and schedules a function that finally updates the tty winsize and signals the change to user space (SIGWINCH). Because the winsize update must acquire a mutex and might sleep, the function is scheduled instead of being called from hvc_poll() or khvcd. This patch uses the tty_do_resize() routine from the tty layer. A pending resize work is canceled in hvc_close() and hvc_hangup().

2008-10-22hvc_console: Fix loop if put_char() returns 0Hendrik Brueckner
If put_char() routine of a hvc console backend returns 0, then the hvc console starts looping in the following scenarios: 1. hvc_console_print() If put_char() returns 0 then the while loop may loop forever. I have added the missing check for 0 to throw away console messages. 2. khvcd may loop: The thread calls hvc_poll() --> hvc_push()... if there are still buffered data then the HVC_POLL_WRITE bit is set and causes the khvcd thread to loop (if yield() returns immediately). However, instead of looping, the khvcd thread could sleep for MIN_TIMEOUT (doing the same as for get_chars()). The MIN_TIMEOUT is set if hvc_push() was not able to write data to the backend. If data has been written, the timeout is set to 0 to immediately re-schedule hvc_poll().

2008-10-16tpm: work around bug in Broadcom BCM0102 chipsetValdis Kletnieks
Patch tpm-correct-tpm-timeouts-to-jiffies-conversion reveals a bug in the Broadcom BCM0102 TPM chipset used in the Dell Latitude D820 - although most of the timeouts are returned in usecs as per the spec, one is apparently returned in msecs, which results in a too-small value leading to a timeout when the code treats it as usecs. To prevent a regression, we check for the known too-short value and adjust it to a value that makes things work.

2008-10-16tpm: correct tpm timeouts to jiffies conversionMarcin Obara
This patch fixes timeouts conversion to jiffies, by replacing msecs_to_jiffies() calls with usecs_to_jiffies(). According to TCG TPM Specification Version 1.2 Revision 103 (pages 166, 167) TPM timeouts and durations are returned in microseconds (usec) not in miliseconds (msec). This fixes a long hang while loading TPM driver, if TPM chip starts in "Idle" state instead of "Ready" state. Without this patch - 'modprobe' may hang for 30 seconds or more.

2008-10-16applicom.c: fix apparently-broken code in do_ac_read()Andrew Morton
The code scriblles over a local pointer whereas it appears to be trying to write to the memory at which that pointer points. Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11397 Nobody we know can test this change.

2008-10-16Char: ds1286, eliminate busy waitingJiri Slaby
ds1286_get_time(); is not called from atomic context, sleep for 20 ms is better choice than a (home-made) busy waiting for such a situation.

2008-10-16legacy rtc: remove needless/confusing HPET_RTC_IRQ optionDavid Brownell
HPET_RTC_IRQ is no longer needed; HPET_EMULATE_RTC suffices and is more correct. (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11111) Note that when using the legacy RTC driver, platforms don't really do a dynamic switch between HPET and non-HPET modes based on whether HPET hardware actually exists ... only rtc-cmos (using the new RTC framework) currently switches that way. So this reflects bitrot in that legacy code, for x86/ia64: kernels with HPET support configured (e.g. for a clocksource) can't get IRQs from the legacy RTC driver unless they really have HPET hardware. (The obvious workaround is to not use the legacy RTC driver on those platforms when you configure HPET ... unless you know the target really has a HPET.)

It is written in the Documentation/sysrq.txt that oom-killer is enabled when we set "64" in /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq: <Documentation/sysrq.txt> Here is the list of possible values in /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq: 64 - enable signalling of processes (term, kill, oom-kill) ^^^^^^^^ but enable_mask is not set in sysrq_moom_op.
