2005-09-05[SPARC64]: Kconfig fix (GEN_RTC dependencies)Al Viro
Yet another architecture not coverd by GEN_RTC - sparc64 never picked it until now and it doesn't have asm/rtc.h to go with it, so it wouldn't compile anyway (or have these ioctls in the user-visible headers, for that matter). FWIW, I'm very tempted to introduce ARCH_HAS_GEN_RTC and have it set in arch/*/Kconfig for architectures that know what to do with this stuff - for something supposedly generic the list of architectures where it doesn't work is getting too long...

Actually, proper fix of that breakage is embarrassingly simple - it's yet another gratitious leftover include of asm/segment.h, so incremental to the previos would be removal of that BROKEN and removal of bogus include from mxser.c itself. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2005-09-05[PATCH] ppc32: Added support for the Book-E style Watchdog TimerKumar Gala
PowerPC 40x and Book-E processors support a watchdog timer at the processor core level. The timer has implementation dependent timeout frequencies that can be configured by software. One the first Watchdog timeout we get a critical exception. It is left to board specific code to determine what should happen at this point. If nothing is done and another timeout period expires the processor may attempt to reset the machine. Command line parameters: wdt=0 : disable watchdog (default) wdt=1 : enable watchdog wdt_period=N : N sets the value of the Watchdog Timer Period. The Watchdog Timer Period meaning is implementation specific. Check User Manual for the processor for more details. This patch is based off of work done by Takeharu Kato.

2005-09-03[WATCHDOG] softdog-timer-running-oops.patchChuck Ebbert
The softdog watchdog timer has a bug that can create an oops: 1. Load the module without the nowayout option. 2. Open the driver and close it without writing 'V' before close. 3. Unload the module. The timer will continue to run... 4. Oops happens when timer fires. Reported Sun, 10 Oct 2004, by Michael Schierl <schierlm@gmx.de> Fix is easy: always take a reference on the module on open. Release it only when the device is closed and no timer is running. Tested on 2.6.13-rc6 using the soft_noboot option. While the timer is running and the device is closed, the module use count stays at 1. After the timer fires, it drops to 0. Repeatedly opening and closing the driver caused no problems. Please apply.

Attached is a small update to the w83627hf watchdog driver to initialise appropriately if it was already initialised in the BIOS. On tyan motherboards for e.g. you can init the watchdog to 4 mins, then when the driver is loaded it sets the watchdog to "seconds" mode, and then machine will reboot within 4 seconds. So this patch resets the timeout to the configured value if the watchdog is already running. Signed-off-by: P@draig Brady <P@draigBrady.com> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>

2005-09-03[WATCHDOG] correct sysfs name for watchdog devicesOlaf Hering
While looking for possible candidates for our udev.rules package, I found a few odd ->name properties. /dev/watchdog has minor 130 according to devices.txt. Since all watchdog drivers use the misc_register() call, they will end up in /sys/class/misc/$foo. udev may create the /dev/watchdog node if the driver is loaded. I dont have such a device, so I cant test it. The drivers below provide names with spaces and even with / in it. Not a big deal, but apps may expect /dev/watchdog.

2005-08-27[PATCH] Remove race between con_open and con_closePaul Mackerras
[ Same race and same patch also by Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> ] I have a laptop (G3 powerbook) which will pretty reliably hit a race between con_open and con_close late in the boot process and oops in vt_ioctl due to tty->driver_data being NULL. What happens is this: process A opens /dev/tty6; it comes into con_open() (drivers/char/vt.c) and assign a non-NULL value to tty->driver_data. Then process A closes that and concurrently process B opens /dev/tty6. Process A gets through con_close() and clears tty->driver_data, since tty->count == 1. However, before process A can decrement tty->count, we switch to process B (e.g. at the down(&tty_sem) call at drivers/char/tty_io.c line 1626). So process B gets to run and comes into con_open with tty->count == 2, as tty->count is incremented (in init_dev) before con_open is called. Because tty->count != 1, we don't set tty->driver_data. Then when the process tries to do anything with that fd, it oopses. The simple and effective fix for this is to test tty->driver_data rather than tty->count in con_open. The testing and setting of tty->driver_data is serialized with respect to the clearing of tty->driver_data in con_close by the console_sem. We can't get a situation where con_open sees tty->driver_data != NULL and then con_close on a different fd clears tty->driver_data, because tty->count is incremented before con_open is called. Thus this patch eliminates the race, and in fact with this patch my laptop doesn't oops.

I found why my G5 was crashing when using the linux-2.6 version of the DRM + git-drm.patch from 2.6.13-rc6-mm1, but not with the CVS DRM. The reason was that dev->agp->cant_use_aperture wasn't getting set, and the reason for that was that <linux/version.h> no longer gets included and the #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < 0x020408 in drm_agpsupport.c was going the wrong way.

It's been pointed out that environmental events from the system controllers on Altix machines cause the kernel to complain about unaligned memory accesses. This turns out to be because "be32_to_cpup()" didn't do everything I thought/hoped it did.

Since the ioports and configuration registers are not correctly set on some machines, the configuration is now done via PNPACPI, which reads out the correct values out of the DSDT-table. Note that you have to have CONFIG_PNP, CONFIG_ACPI_BUS and CONFIG_PNPACPI enabled to run this driver (assuming that mainboards including a TPM do have the need for ACPI anyway).

2005-08-05[PATCH] rtc: msleep() cannot be used from interruptPetr Vandrovec
Since the beginning of July my Opteron box was randomly crashing and being rebooted by hardware watchdog. Today it finally did it in front of me, and this patch will hopefully fix it. The problem is that at the end of June (the 28th, to be exact: commit 47f176fdaf8924bc83fddcf9658f2fd3ef60d573, "[PATCH] Using msleep() instead of HZ") rtc_get_rtc_time was converted to use msleep() instead of busy waiting. But rtc_get_rtc_time is used by hpet_rtc_interrupt, and scheduling is not allowed during interrupt. So I'm reverting this part of original change, replacing msleep() back with busy loop. The original code was busy waiting for up to 20ms, but on my hardware in the worst case update-in-progress bit was asserted for at most 363 passes through loop (on 2GHz dual Opteron), much less than even one jiffie, not even talking about 20ms. So I changed code to just wait only as long as necessary. Otherwise when RTC was set to generate 8192Hz timer, it stopped doing anything for 20ms (160 pulses were skipped!) from time to time, and this is rather suboptimal as far as I can tell.
