59afda786a [PATCH] s390: dasd set online failure
dasd driver changes:
 - The feature check in dasd_generic_online returns an error if
   the devmap entry for the device is not yet available. Check
   for the feature after the device has been created.
 - Do symmetric registration/deregistration of cdev->handler.

18a2b64712 [PATCH] x86_64: Don't assume BSP has ID 0 in new smp bootup
This patch removes the assumption that LAPIC entries contain the BSP as its
first entry.  This is a slight improvement to the temporary fix submitted by
Suresh Siddha.

- Removes assumption that LAPIC entries contain BSP first.

- Builds x86_acpiid_to_apicid[] and bios_cpu_apicid[] properly with BSP as
  first entry.

- Made maxcpus=1 boot on these systems.  Since the parsing earlier in
  arch/x86_64/kernel/mpparse.c stopped after maxcpus entries, other entries
  were not processed, this causes kernel not to boot on these systems.

TBD: x86_acpiid_to_apicid and bios_cpu_apicid[] seem to be exactly the
     same.  This could be removed, but might need more work to cleanup.

751521149a [PATCH] x86_64: Collected NMI watchdog fixes.
Collected NMI watchdog fixes.

- Fix call of check_nmi_watchdog

- Remove earlier move of check_nmi_watchdog to later.  It does not fix the
  race it was supposed to fix fully.

- Remove unused P6 definitions

- Add support for performance counter based watchdog on P4 systems.

  This allows to run it only once per second, which saves some CPU time.
  Previously it would run at 1000Hz, which was too much.

  Code ported from i386

  Make this the default on Intel systems.

- Use check_nmi_watchdog with local APIC based nmi

- Fix race in touch_nmi_watchdog

- Fix bug that caused incorrect performance counters to be programmed in a
  few cases on K8.

- Remove useless check for local APIC

- Use local_t and per_cpu variables for per CPU data.

- Keep other CPUs busy during check_nmi_watchdog to make sure they really
  tick when in lapic mode.

- Only check CPUs that are actually online.

- Various other fixes.

- Fix fallback path when MSRs are unimplemented

312df5f1a1 [PATCH] x86_64: Add pmtimer support
There are unfortunately more and more multi processor Opteron systems which
don't have HPET timer support in the southbridge.  This covers in particular
Nvidia and VIA chipsets.  They also don't guarantee that the TSCs are
synchronized between CPUs; and especially with MP powernow the systems are
nearly unusable because the time gets very inconsistent between CPUs.

The timer code for x86-64 was originally written under the assumption that we
could fall back to the HPET timer on such systems.  But this doesn't work
there.

Another alternative is to use the ACPI PM timer as primary time source.  This
patch does that.  The kernel only uses PM timer when there is no other choice
because it has some disadvantages.

Ported over from i386.  It should be faster than the i386 version because I
dropped the "read three times" workaround, but is still considerable slower
than HPET and also does not work together with vsyscalls which have to be
disabled.

dda50e716d [PATCH] x86_64: Update TSC sync algorithm
The new TSC sync algorithm recently submitted did not work too well.

The result was that some MP machines where the TSC came up of the BIOS very
unsynchronized and that did not have HPET support were nearly unusable because
the time would jump forwards and backwards between CPUs.

After a lot of research ;-) and some more prototypes I ended up with just
using the one from IA64 which looks best.  It has some internal self tuning
that should adapt to changing interconnect latencies.  It holds up in my tests
so far.

I believe it was originally written by David Mosberger, I just ported it over
to x86-64.  See the inline comment for a description.

This cleans up the code because it uses smp_call_function for syncing instead
of having custom hooks in SMP bootup.

Please note that the cycle numbers it outputs are too optimistic because they
do not take into account the latency of WRMSR and RDTSC, which can be hundreds
of cycles.  It seems to be able to sync a dual Opteron to 200-300 cycles,
which is probably good enough.

There is a timing window during AP bootup where interrupts can see
inconsistent time before the TSC is synced.  It is hard to avoid unfortunately
because we can only do the TSC sync after some setup, and we need to enable
interrupts before that.  I just ignored it for now.

Last round hopefully of cpu_core_id changes hopefully fow now:

- Always initialize cpu_core_id for all CPUs, even when no dual core setup
  is detected.  This prevents funny /proc/cpuinfo output

- Do the same with phys_proc_id[] even when no HyperThreading - dito.

- Use the CPU APIC-ID from CPUID 1 instead of the linux virtual CPU number
  to identify the core for AMD dual core setups.

25b6f08e3f [PATCH] USB: cypress_m8: add support for the DeLorme Earthmate lt-20
This patch adds support for the DeLorme Earthmate lt-20 to the
cypress_m8 driver.  The device was tested and found to be compatible
with the cypress_m8 driver.  This is a resend with the complete patch
which properly compiles.

Adds support for the DeLorme Earthmate lt-20 to the cypress_m8 driver.

80615f8153 [PATCH] USB: usbnet driver fixes
Updates to the usbnet driver:

 - Remove a warning when built with Zaurus support but not CDC Ethernet;
   just moves an #ifdef to cover more code

 - Two tweaks to the pseudo-MDLM support:
    * correctly handle _either_ of the two GUIDs
    * ignore a padding bit that doesn't seem necessary

 - Remove ID for one Motorola phone that uses the MDLM stuff.

It also updates the Kconfig helptext to make it clearer that the "Zaurus"
configuration option supports an increasing (sigh) family of nonstandard
peripheral protocols.

118326e940 [PATCH] Fix root hole in pktcdvd
ioctl_by_bdev may only be used INSIDE the kernel.  If the "arg" argument
refers to memory that is accessed by put_user/get_user in the ioctl
function, the memory needs to be in the kernel address space (that's the
set_fs(KERNEL_DS) doing in the ioctl_by_bdev).  This works on i386 because
even with set_fs(KERNEL_DS) the user space memory is still accessible with
put_user/get_user.  That is not true for s390.  In short the ioctl
implementation of the pktcdvd device driver is horribly broken.

68f66feb30 [PATCH] Fix root hole in raw device
[Patch] Fix raw device ioctl pass-through

Raw character devices are supposed to pass ioctls through to the block
devices they are bound to.  Unfortunately, they are using the wrong
function for this: ioctl_by_bdev(), instead of blkdev_ioctl().

ioctl_by_bdev() performs a set_fs(KERNEL_DS) before calling the ioctl,
redirecting the user-space buffer access to the kernel address space.
This is, needless to say, a bad thing.

This was noticed first on s390, where raw IO was non-functioning.  The
s390 driver config does not actually allow raw IO to be enabled, which
was the first part of the problem.  Secondly, the s390 kernel address
space is distinct from user, causing legal raw ioctls to fail.  I've
reproduced this on a kernel built with 4G:4G split on x86, which fails
in the same way (-EFAULT if the address does not exist kernel-side;
returns success without actually populating the user buffer if it does.)

The patch below fixes both the config and address-space problems.  It's
based closely on a patch by Jan Glauber <jang@de.ibm.com>, which has
been tested on s390 at IBM.  I've tested it on x86 4G:4G (split address
space) and x86_64 (common address space).

Kernel-address-space access has been assigned CAN-2005-1264.

Version 2 of the 3com OfficeConnect 11g Cardbus Card aka 3CRWE154G72 is not
supported by the prism54 project.  To stop confusion, the kernel
documentation should state so as 3com made a good job hiding the version.
