Handling of the proc_dir_entry->count was changed in 2.6.24-rc5.
After this change, the default value for pde->count is 1 and not 0 as
before. Therefore, if we want to check whether our procfs file is
already opened (already in use), we have to check if pde->count is
greater than 2 rather than 1.

hash_page_sync() takes and releases the low level mmu hash
lock in order to sync with other processors disposing of page
tables. Because that lock can be needed to service hash misses
triggered by interrupt handlers, taking it must be done with
interrupts off. However, hash_page_sync() appears to be called
with interrupts enabled, thus causing occasional deadlocks.
We fix it by making sure hash_page_sync() masks interrupts while
holding the lock.

A subtle bug sneaked into iSeries recently. On this platform, we must
not normally clear MSR:EE (the hardware external interrupt enable)
except for short periods of time. Taking an interrupt while
soft-disabled doesn't cause us to clear it for example.
The iSeries kernel expects to mostly run with MSR:EE enabled at all
times except in a few exception entry/exit code paths. Thus
local_irq_enable() doesn't check if it needs to hard-enable as it
expects this to be unnecessary on iSeries.
However, hard_irq_disable() _does_ cause MSR:EE to be cleared,
including on iSeries. A call to it was recently added to the
context switch code, thus causing interrupts to become disabled
for a long periods of time, causing the iSeries watchdog to kick
in under some circumstances and other nasty things.
This patch fixes it by making local_irq_enable() properly re-enable
MSR:EE on iSeries. It basically removes a return statement here
to make iSeries use the same code path as everybody else. That does
mean that we might occasionally get spurious decrementer interrupts
but I don't think that matters.
Another option would have been to make hard_irq_disable() a nop
on iSeries but I didn't like it much, in case we have good reasons
to hard-disable.
Part of the patch is fixes to make sure the hard_enabled PACA field
is properly set on iSeries as it used not to be before, since it
was mostly unused.

These messages are a regression compared with 2.6.24, which did not
flood the syslog with them.
The actual underlying problem was introduced in 2.6.23, when somebody
made the string parsing no longer accept nul-terminated strings as a
valid input to store_uevent().
Eg. "add\0" was valid prior to 2.6.23, where the code regressed to
require "add" without the '\0'.
This patch fixes the 2.6.23 / 2.6.24 regressions, by having the code
once again tolerate the trailing '\0', if present.
According to GregKH, this mainly affects older Ubuntu systems, such as
the one I have here that requires this fix.

When getting disconnected we need to release eventual grabs on the
underlying input device as we also release the input device itself.
Otherwise, we would try to release the grab when the client that
requested it closes its handle, accessing the input device which
might already be freed.

This patch fixes bits of the DRM so to make the radeon DRI work on
non-cache coherent PCI DMA variants of the PowerPC processors.
It moves the few places that needs change to wrappers to that
other architectures with similar issues can easily add their
own changes to those wrappers, at least until we have more useful
generic kernel API.

It turned out that probing order change causes problems for some drives:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10239
Since root causes are still being investigated and are unlikely to be fixed
before 2.6.25 lets revert this change for now. As a result cable detection
becomes less reliable when compared with 2.6.24 but the affected drives are
useable again.

The Coverity checker spotted that we leak the storage allocated to 'name' in
int driver_add_kobj(). The leak looks legit to me - this is the code :
int driver_add_kobj(struct device_driver *drv, struct kobject *kobj,
const char *fmt, ...)
{
va_list args;
char *name;
int ret;
va_start(args, fmt);
name = kvasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, fmt, args);
^^^^^^^^ This dynamically allocates space...
va_end(args);
if (!name)
return -ENOMEM;
return kobject_add(kobj, &drv->p->kobj, "%s", name);
^^^^^^^^ This neglects to free the space allocated
}
Inside kobject_add() a copy of 'name' will be made and used. As far as I can
see, Coverity is correct in flagging this as a leak, but I'd like some
configmation before the patch is applied.
This should fix it.
