I'm not sure why it was doing this, and I'm not sure I _want_ to know
why. But calling it NETIF_F_DYNALLOC doesn't change the fact that the
kernel believes it to be NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM, and that IPv6 communication
is hence buggered.

I'm not sure if this is best choice, someone might have better
solutions. But this patch fixed the connection problem when switching
from a WPA enabled AP (using wpa_supplicant) to an open AP (using
iwconfig). The root cause is when we connect to a WPA enabled AP,
wpa_supplicant sets the ifsta->extra_ie thru SIOCSIWGENIE. But if we
stop wpa_supplicant and connect to an open AP with iwconfig, there is
no way to clear the extra_ie so that mac80211 keeps connecting with that.
Someone could argue wpa_supplicant should clear the extra_ie during
its shutdown. But mac80211 should also handle the unexpected shutdown
case (ie. killall -9 wpa_supplicant).

Subdividing the paravirt_ops structure caused a regression in certain
non-GPL modules which try to use mmu_ops and cpu_ops. This restores the
old behaviour, and makes it consistent with the non-CONFIG_PARAVIRT case.

Christoph Hellwig objects to this patch on the grounds that modules
shouldn't be using these operations anyway. I don't think this is a
particularly good reason to reject the patch, for several reasons:
1. These operations are still available to modules when not using
CONFIG_PARAVIRT, since they are implicitly exported as inline
functions via the kernel headers. Exporting the same functionality as
GPL-only symbols just adds a gratuitious difference between
CONFIG_PARAVIRT and non-CONFIG_PARAVIRT configurations. If we really
think these operations are not for module use (or non-GPL module use),
then we should solve the problem in a general way.
2. It's a regression from previous kernels, which would work these
modules even with CONFIG_PARAVIRT enabled.
3. The operations in question seem pretty reasonable for modules to
use. The control registers/MSRs can be accessed directly anyway, so there's
no benefit in preventing modules from using standard interfaces. And it seems
reasonable to allow a graphics driver to create its own mappings if it wants.
Therefore, I think this patch should go in for 2.6.24. If people
really think that these operations should not be available to modules,
then we can address that separately.

ACPI uses NR_CPUS in various loops and in some it accesses per cpu data of
processors that are not present(!) and that will never be present.
The pointers to per cpu data are typically not initialized for processors
that are not present. So we seem to be reading something here from offset
0 in memory.
Make ACPI use nr_cpu_ids instead. That stops at the end of the possible
processors.
Convert one loop to NR_CPUS to use the cpu_possible map instead. That way
ranges of processor that can never be brought online are skipped during the

In wait_task_stopped() exit_code already contains the right value for the

If you call waitid() with a stopped or traced process, you'll get the signal
in siginfo.si_status as expected -- however if you call waitid(WNOWAIT) at the
same time, you'll get the signal << 8 | 0x7f
Pass it unchanged to wait_noreap_copyout(); we would only need to shift it

The problem otherwise is that the linker can insert sufficient code between
the slots in the trap table and the targets of the branch instructions in
those slots that the displacement field in the instruction isn't
sufficiently large. This is because the branch targets were in the .text

This patch adds Graphics Output Protocol support to the kernel. UEFI2.0 spec
deprecates Universal Graphics Adapter (UGA) protocol and only Graphics Output
Protocol (GOP) is produced. Therefore, the boot loader needs to query the
UEFI firmware with appropriate Output Protocol and pass the video information
to the kernel. As a result of GOP protocol, an EFI framebuffer driver is
needed for displaying console messages. The patch adds a EFI framebuffer
driver. The EFI frame buffer driver in this patch is based on the Intel Mac
framebuffer driver.
The ELILO bootloader takes care of passing the video information as
appropriate for EFI firmware.
The framebuffer driver has been tested in i386 kernel and x86_64 kernel on EFI
platform.

With NO_HZ disabled, the UML idle loop effectively becomes a busy loop, as
it will sleep for no time.
The cause was forgetting to restart the tick after waking up from sleep.
It was disabled before sleeping, and the remaining time used as the
interval to sleep. So, the tick needs to be restarted when nanosleep
finishes.
This is done by introducing after_sleep_interval, which is empty in the
NO_HZ case, but which sets the tick starting in the !NO_HZ case.

The box has no HiSax card installed.
the reason for the crash is add_timer() done on an already running

this patch works this problem around by using mod_timer() - this gets
a booting system - but it would be nice to figure out why CARD_INIT

An unprivileged process must be able to kill a setuid root program started
by the same user. This is legacy behavior needed for instance for xinit to
kill X when the window manager exits.
When an unprivileged user runs a setuid root program in !SECURE_NOROOT
mode, fP, fI, and fE are set full on, so pP' and pE' are full on. Then
cap_task_kill() prevents the user from signaling the setuid root task.
This is a change in behavior compared to when
!CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES.
This patch introduces a special check into cap_task_kill() just to check
whether a non-root user is signaling a setuid root program started by the
same user. If so, then signal is allowed.

In commit a686cd898b:
"Val's cross-port of the ext3 reservations code into ext2."
include/linux/ext2_fs.h got a new function whose return value is only
defined if __KERNEL__ is defined. Putting #ifdef __KERNEL__ around the
function seems to help, patch below.

This patch corrects recently changed (and now invalid) Kconfig descriptions
for the DMA engine framework:
- Non-Intel(R) hardware also has DMA engines;
- DMA is used for more than memcpy and RAID offloading.
In fact, on most platforms memcpy and RAID aren't factors, and DMA
exists so that peripherals can transfer data to/from memory while
the CPU does other work.
