2005-07-07[PATCH] mostly_read data sectionChristoph Lameter
Add a new section called ".data.read_mostly" for data items that are read frequently and rarely written to like cpumaps etc. If these maps are placed in the .data section then these frequenly read items may end up in cachelines with data is is frequently updated. In that case all processors in an SMP system must needlessly reload the cachelines again and again containing elements of those frequently used variables. The ability to share these cachelines will allow each cpu in an SMP system to keep local copies of those shared cachelines thereby optimizing performance.

2005-07-07[PATCH] tty output lossage fixRoman Zippel
The patch fixes a few corner cases around tty line editing with very long input lines: - n_tty_receive_char(): don't simply drop eol characters, otherwise canon_data isn't increased and the reader isn't woken up. - n_tty_receive_room(): If there is no newline pending and the edit buffer is full, allow only a single character to be written (until eol is found and the line is flushed), so characters from the next line aren't dropped. - write_chan(): if an incomplete line was written, continue writing until write() returns 0, otherwise it might not write the eol character to flush the line and the writer goes to sleep without ever being woken up. BTW the core problem is that part of this should be handled in the receive_buf path, but for this it has to return the number of written characters, as the amount of written characters may not be the same as the amount of characters going into the write buffer, so the receive_room() usage in pty_write() is not really reliable. Alan said: The problem looks valid. The behaviour of 'traditional unix' appears to be the following If you exceed the line limit then beep and drop the character Always allow EOL to complete a canonical line input Always do signal/control processing if enabled Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Fail the setup routine if the console doesn't exist, but register the console again when the specified channel is instantiated.

2005-07-07[PATCH] hvc_console: Rearrange codeMilton Miller
Milton Miller has done a lot of work to clean up our hvc_console code. One of the important things the following patch series does is separate the VIO layer from the hvc_console code. With the VIO specific code removed any ppc64 platform, or even any architecture, can use hvc_console as a generic polling console. You simply have to supply a get_chars and put_chars method and hvc_console does the rest of the work. You can even use it for an interrupt driven console. This patch: Rearrange the code in drivers/char/hvc_console.c to make future patches smaller. No actual code changes, just ordering of the functions in the file.

2005-07-06[PATCH] yet another fix for setup-bus.c/x86 mergeIvan Kokshaysky
There is a slight disagreement between setup-bus.c code and traditional x86 PCI setup wrt which recourses are invalid vs resources that are free for further allocations. In particular, in the setup-bus.c, if we failed to allocate some resource, we nullify "start" and "flags" fields, but *not* the "end" one. But x86 pcibios_enable_resources() does the following check: if (!r->start && r->end) { printk(KERN_ERR "PCI: Device %s not available because of resource collisions\n", pci_name(dev)); return -EINVAL; which means that the device owning the offending resource cannot be enabled. In particular, this breaks cardbus behind the normal decode p2p bridge - the cardbus code from setup-bus.c requests rather large IO and MEM windows, and if it fails, the socket is completely unavailable. Which is wrong, as the yenta code is capable to allocate smaller windows. Signed-off-by: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-07-06[CRYPTO] Update IV correctly for Padlock CBC encryptionHerbert Xu
When the Padlock does CBC encryption, the memory pointed to by EAX is not updated at all. Instead, it updates the value of EAX by pointing it to the last block in the output. Therefore to maintain the correct semantics we need to copy the IV. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-07-06[CRYPTO] Ensure cit_iv is aligned correctlyHerbert Xu
This patch ensures that cit_iv is aligned according to cra_alignmask by allocating it as part of the tfm structure. As a side effect the crypto layer will also guarantee that the tfm ctx area has enough space to be aligned by cra_alignmask.

2005-07-06[PATCH] openfirmware: implement hotplug for macio devicesJeff Mahoney
This adds the hotplug routine for generating hotplug events when devices are seen on the macio bus. It uses the attributed created by the sysfs nodes to generate the hotplug environment vars for userspace. Since the characters allowed inside the 'compatible' field are NUL terminated, they are exported as individual OF_COMPATIBLE_# variables, with OF_COMPATIBLE_N maintaining a count of how many there are. In order for hotplug to work with macio devices, patches to module-init-tools and hotplug must be applied.

2005-07-06[PATCH] openfirmware: add sysfs nodes for open firmware devicesJeff Mahoney
This adds sysfs nodes that the hotplug userspace can use to load the appropriate modules. In order for hotplug to work with macio devices, patches to module-init-tools and hotplug must be applied. Those patches are available at: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/jeffm/linux/macio-hotplug/ Changes: The previous versions were built on 2.6.12. 2.6.13-rcX introduced a device_attribute parameter to the show functions. Since that parameter was treated as the output buffer, memory corruption would result, causing Oopsen very quickly.

The manual for the board says that it "is compatible with the MPC8xxFADS for software point of view". That's why this patch extends FADS instead of introducing a new platform.
