2008-04-22ACPICA: Fix for resource descriptor optimization issues for _CRS/_SRCBob Moore
Fixed a problem where resource descriptor size optimization could cause a problem when a _CRS resource template is passed to a _SRS method. The _SRS resource template must use the same descriptors (with the same size) as returned from _CRS. This change affects the following resource descriptors: IRQ/IRQNoFlags and StartDependendentFn/StartDependentFnNoPri. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9487 Signed-off-by: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Alexey Starikovskiy <astarikovskiy@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2008-04-22ACPICA: Fix for ACPI_HIDWORD macroBob Moore
Fixed a regression introduced in version 20071114. The ACPI_HIDWORD macro was inadvertently changed to return a 16-bit value instead of a 32-bit value, truncating the upper Dword of a 64-bit value. This macro is only used to display debug output, so no incorrect calculations were made.

2008-04-15ssb: Fix usage of struct device used for DMAingMichael Buesch
This fixes DMA on architectures where DMA is nontrivial, like PPC64. We must use the host-device's (PCI) struct device for any DMA operation instead of the SSB device. For this we add a new struct device pointer to the SSB device structure that will always point to the right device for DMAing. Without this patch b43 and b44 drivers won't work on complex-DMA architectures, that for example need dev->archdata for DMA operations.

2008-04-11pnp: increase number of devices supported per protocolBjorn Helgaas
Increase the PNP "number of devices" limit. We currently use an unsigned char, which limits us to 256 devices per protocol. This patch changes that to an unsigned int. Not all backends can take advantage of this: we limit ISAPNP to 10 devices in isapnp_cfg_begin(), and PNPBIOS is limited to 256 devices because the BIOS interfaces use a one-byte device node number. But there is no limit on the number of PNPACPI devices we may have. Large HP Integrity machines have more than 256, which causes the current "unsigned char number" to wrap around. This causes errors like this: pnp: PnP ACPI init kobject_add failed for 00:00 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory. Call Trace: [<a000000100010720>] show_stack+0x40/0xa0 [<a0000001000107b0>] dump_stack+0x30/0x60 [<a0000001001dbdf0>] kobject_add+0x290/0x2c0 [<a0000001002bfd40>] device_add+0x160/0x860 [<a0000001002c0470>] device_register+0x30/0x60 [<a00000010026ba70>] __pnp_add_device+0x130/0x180 [<a00000010026bb70>] pnp_add_device+0xb0/0xe0 [<a0000001007f2730>] pnpacpi_add_device+0x510/0x5a0 [<a0000001007f2810>] pnpacpi_add_device_handler+0x50/0x80 This patch increases the limit to fix this PNPACPI problem.

2008-04-10Add commentary about the new "asmlinkage_protect()" macroLinus Torvalds
It's really a pretty ugly thing to need, and some day it will hopefully be obviated by teaching gcc about the magic calling conventions for the low-level system call code, but in the meantime we can at least add big honking comments about why we need these insane and strange macros. I took my comments from my version of the macro, but I ended up deciding to just pick Roland's version of the actual code instead (with his prettier syntax that uses vararg macros). Thus the previous two commits that actually implement it. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-04-10asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_callRoland McGrath
The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs. The tail/sibling-call optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent. Other optimizations can do it too. Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all the manifestations of this issue that crop up. More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

Don't make smp_{r,w,}mb() interpolate a MEMBAR instruction when CONFIG_SMP=n as SMP memory barries on UP systems should interpolate a compiler barrier only. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
