135ab6ec8f [PATCH] remove remaining errno and __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ references
The last in-kernel user of errno is gone, so we should remove the definition
and everything referring to it.  This also removes the now-unused lib/execve.c
file that was introduced earlier.

Also remove every trace of __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ that still remained in the
kernel.

5c87579e65 [PATCH] maximum latency tracking infrastructure
Add infrastructure to track "maximum allowable latency" for power saving
policies.

The reason for adding this infrastructure is that power management in the
idle loop needs to make a tradeoff between latency and power savings
(deeper power save modes have a longer latency to running code again).  The
code that today makes this tradeoff just does a rather simple algorithm;
however this is not good enough: There are devices and use cases where a
lower latency is required than that the higher power saving states provide.
 An example would be audio playback, but another example is the ipw2100
wireless driver that right now has a very direct and ugly acpi hook to
disable some higher power states randomly when it gets certain types of
error.

The proposed solution is to have an interface where drivers can

* announce the maximum latency (in microseconds) that they can deal with
* modify this latency
* give up their constraint

and a function where the code that decides on power saving strategy can
query the current global desired maximum.

This patch has a user of each side: on the consumer side, ACPI is patched
to use this, on the producer side the ipw2100 driver is patched.

A generic maximum latency is also registered of 2 timer ticks (more and you
lose accurate time tracking after all).

While the existing users of the patch are x86 specific, the infrastructure
is not.  I'd like to ask the arch maintainers of other architectures if the
infrastructure is generic enough for their use (assuming the architecture
has such a tradeoff as concept at all), and the sound/multimedia driver
owners to look at the driver facing API to see if this is something they
can use.

38e2bfc94e USB: Dealias -110 code (more complete)
The purpose of this patch is to split off the case when a device does
not reply on the lower level (which is reported by HC hardware), and
a case when the device accepted the request, but does not reply at
upper level. This redefinition allows to diagnose issues easier,
without asking the user if the -110 happened "immediately".

The usbmon splits such cases already thanks to its timestamp, but
it's not always available.

I adjusted all drivers which I found affected (by searching for "urb").
Out of tree drivers may suffer a little bit, but I do not expect much
breakage. At worst they may print a few messages.

8e18e2941c [PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_private
The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86.  (It would be more on an x86_64 system).  This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).

This patch:

The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer.  Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer.  This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

583afd1e4f [PATCH] zd1211rw: Add LED support
This patch includes a big cleanup of the existing unused LED code,
and adds support for controlling the LED.

The link LED will blink if the device is not associated. The LED
switches between 2 seconds on and 1 second off. If the device is
associated the LED is switched on.

The link LED also indicates packet TX. I do a little bit more led
resetting than the vendor driver, but the device works now as
expected for single LED and double LED devices.

This patch enables the ipw2200 driver to support passive scanning as
offered by the wireless extensions. For this, I enhanced the ipw_wx_set_scan
function in such a way that it differentiates between a passive and an
active scan request. Additionally, I added a new function called
ipw_request_passive_scan that is similiar to the ipw_request_scan
function to perform passive scans. Last but not least, I added a field
(in fact it is a work_struct struct) called request_passive_scan to
the ipw_priv struct.

Note, this patch treats

The SIOCGIWFREQ ioctl fills the request structure's freq field by setting
the exponent to 0 and the mantissa to the current channel number. The
iwconfig tool works around this behaviour by looking up the frequency
from the channel table if a frequency below 1kHz is returned, other tools
(e.g. kwlaninfo) don't. According to the comment in the iwconfig source
the driver is supposed to return the frequency, not the channel number.

3b4c7d6403 [PATCH] kthread: airo.c
The airo driver is currently caching a pid for later use, but with the
implementation of containers, pids themselves do not uniquely identify a
task.  The driver is also using kernel_thread() which is deprecated in
drivers.

This patch essentially replaces the kernel_thread() with kthread_create().
It also stores the task_struct of the airo_thread rather than its pid.
Since this introduces a second task_struct in struct airo_info, the patch
renames airo_info.task to airo_info.list_bss_task.

As an extension of these changes, the patch further:

	 - replaces kill_proc() with kthread_stop()
	 - replaces signal_pending() with kthread_should_stop()
	 - removes thread completion synchronisation which is handled by
	   kthread_stop().

Add static to 2 internal functions. Thanks goes to Adrian Bunk, who found that.

Also made some modifications to the clear functions:

After a discussion on the mailing list, I implemented this code to
have on the one hand sufficient test in debug mode, but on the
other hand reduce the overhead for structure clearing to a
minimum.

A new macro ZD_MEMCLEAR is introduced, which produces code if
DEBUG is set. Locks are not set anymore for structure clearing,
but in debug mode, there is a verification, that the locks have
not been set.

Finally, removed a misleading comment regarding locking in the disconnect
path.

58e5528ee4 [PATCH] bcm43xx: init routine rewrite
Rewrite of the bcm43xx initialization routines.
This fixes several issues:
* up-down-up-down-up... stale data issue
  (May fix some DHCP issues)
* Fix the init vs IRQ handler race (and remove the workaround)
* Fix init for cards with multiple cores (APHY)
  As softmac has no internal PHY handling (unlike dscape),
  this adds the file "phymode" to sysfs.
  The active PHY can be selected by writing either a, b or g
  to this file. Current PHY can be determined by reading from it.
* Fix the controller restart code.
  Controller restart can now also be triggered through
  echo 1 > /debug/bcm43xx/ethX/restart

This patch improves the statistics returned from
bcm43xx_get_wireless_stats. The signal level comes from smoothing the
"rssi" value returned by the firmware after it is converted into a
dBm value by the driver. The quality value is a hack derived from the
smoothed level and an assumed RX_POWER_MAX of -10 dBM. The noise value
is still the one calculated from the clean-room formula. On my system,
this is roughly -65 dBm, which seems too high.

The revised version uses the ieee80211 spinlock to protect traversing
of the network list.

e85d0918b5 [PATCH] ZyDAS ZD1211 USB-WLAN driver
There are 60+ USB wifi adapters available on the market based on the ZyDAS
ZD1211 chip.

Unlike the predecessor (ZD1201), ZD1211 does not have a hardware MAC, so most
data operations are coordinated by the device driver. The ZD1211 chip sits
alongside an RF transceiver which is also controlled by the driver. Our driver
currently supports 2 RF types, we know of one other available in a few marketed
products which we will be supporting soon.

Our driver also supports the newer revision of ZD1211, called ZD1211B. The
initialization and RF operations are slightly different for the new revision,
but the main difference is 802.11e support. Our driver does not support the
QoS features yet, but we think we know how to use them.

This driver is based on ZyDAS's own GPL driver available from www.zydas.com.tw.
ZyDAS engineers have been responsive and supportive of our efforts, so thumbs
up to them. Additionally, the firmware is redistributable and they have
provided device specs.

This driver has been written primarily by Ulrich Kunitz and myself. Graham
Gower, Greg KH, Remco and Bryan Rittmeyer have also contributed. The
developers of ieee80211 and softmac have made our lives so much easier- thanks!

We maintain a small info-page: http://zd1211.ath.cx/wiki/DriverRewrite

If there is enough time for review, we would like to aim for inclusion in
2.6.18. The driver works nicely as a STA, and can connect to both open and
encrypted networks (we are using software-based encryption for now). We will
work towards supporting more advanced features in the future (ad-hoc, master
mode, 802.11a, ...).

ok this appears to be hostap playing games... it has 2 network devices
for one piece of hardware and one calls the other via the networking
layer; there is thankfully a natural ordering between the two, so just
making the slave one a separate type ought to make this work.

5b057c6b1a [NET]: Avoid allocating skb in skb_pad
First of all it is unnecessary to allocate a new skb in skb_pad since
the existing one is not shared.  More importantly, our hard_start_xmit
interface does not allow a new skb to be allocated since that breaks
requeueing.

This patch uses pskb_expand_head to expand the existing skb and linearize
it if needed.  Actually, someone should sift through every instance of
skb_pad on a non-linear skb as they do not fit the reasons why this was
originally created.

Incidentally, this fixes a minor bug when the skb is cloned (tcpdump,
TCP, etc.).  As it is skb_pad will simply write over a cloned skb.  Because
of the position of the write it is unlikely to cause problems but still
it's best if we don't do it.

a192491ad5 [PATCH] Array overrun in drivers/net/wireless/wavelan.c
hi,

this is another array overrun spotted by coverity (#id 507)
we should check the index against array size before using it.
Not sure why the driver doesnt use ARRAY_SIZE instead of its
own macro.

932ff279a4 [NET]: Add netif_tx_lock
Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their
transmission routines.  They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.
This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.

With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner
isn't set.  This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held
and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take
xmit_lock recursively.

While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use
trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to
maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire.  So
delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.

So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner.  The
following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of
functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.

I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be
used directly.  I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock
functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.

This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small
bug fix in winbond.  It currently uses
netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission.  This is
unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue.  So it is safer to
use netif_tx_disable.

The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as
xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.
