fea03cb40a [PATCH] uml: avoid fixing faults while atomic
Following i386, we should maybe refuse trying to fault in pages when we're
doing atomic operations, because to handle the fault we could need to take
already taken spinlocks.

Also, if we're doing an atomic operation (in the sense of in_atomic()) we're
surely in kernel mode and we're surely going to handle adequately the failed
fault, so it's safe to behave this way.

Currently, on UML SMP is rarely used, and we don't support PREEMPT, so this is
unlikely to create problems right now, but it might in the future.

12ebcd73e4 [PATCH] uml: run mconsole "sysrq" in process context
Things are breaking horribly with sysrq called in interrupt context.  I want
to try to fix it, but probably this is simpler.  To tell the truth, sysrq is
normally run in interrupt context, so there shouldn't be any problem.

There's also a warning from the fault handler because it's run in atomic
context (I have a patch for that, only I deferred it).  This is why I'm doing
this.

546fe1cbf9 [PATCH] uml: fix hang in TT mode on fault
The current code doesn't handle well general protection faults on the host -
it thinks that cr2 is always the address of a page fault.  While actually, on
general protection faults, that address is not accessible, so we'd better
assume we couldn't satisfy the fault.  Currently instead we think we've fixed
it, so we go back, retry the instruction and fault again endlessly.

This leads to the kernel hanging when doing copy_from_user(dest, -1, ...) in
TT mode, since reading *(-1) causes a GFP, and we don't support kernel
preemption.

Thanks to Luo Xin for testing UML with LTP and reporting the failures he got.

0365ba7fb1 [PATCH] ppc64: SMU driver update & i2c support
The SMU is the "system controller" chip used by Apple recent G5 machines
including the iMac G5.  It drives things like fans, i2c busses, real time
clock, etc...

The current kernel contains a very crude driver that doesn't do much more
than reading the real time clock synchronously.  This is a completely
rewritten driver that provides interrupt based command queuing, a userland
interface, and an i2c/smbus driver for accessing the devices hanging off
the SMU i2c busses like temperature sensors.  This driver is a basic block
for upcoming work on thermal control for those machines, among others.

It looks like we have been calling the non LPAR iommu_dev_setup on LPAR

It looks like we just need to hook up the devices iommu_table to the

crossing the streams.

the consolidation patch just added the warning which was needed to clean it up.

95608261da.

Well, the symbol was intended to come from userspace (it exists there on normal

However, rename it to be named consistently with the rest.

Actually, he missed converting ELFCLASS32 to coming from kernel headers. For

40da47e115 [PATCH] ppc64: Build zImage.vmode for G5
zImage.vmode was recently added.  It's a version of zImage in which the ELF
note section used by open firmware indicates that it requires a virtual
mode instance of OF instead of real mode.  This allows it to work with
Apple OF, and thus is directly bootable (or netbootable) from OF command
line.  (Unfortunately, pSeries OF sort-of requires real mode and Apple OF
sort-of requires virtual mode, and both tend to be unhappy if no notes
section specifies the mode at all).

However, we forgot to add zImage.vmode to the default G5 build. This
fixes it.

Some RS64 systems (such as F80) have non-python host bridges with EADS.
However, they have two EADS with 4 buses each under them, so the old logic

Big thanks to Olaf Hering for helping me test this, he's got one of the few

Also, to be a bit smarter at detecting the need for a PHB-level IOMMU table
by checking for the presence of an ISA bus.  Only PHBs with ISA bridges
should need the PHB-level table.

ff171d8f66 [SPARC64]: Handle little-endian unaligned loads/stores correctly.
Because we use byte loads/stores to cons up the value

setting to take care of this for us.  So do it by hand.

This case is triggered by drivers/block/aoe/aoecmd.c in the
ataid_complete() function where it goes:

		/* word 100: number lba48 sectors */
		ssize = le64_to_cpup((__le64 *) &id[100<<1]);

This &id[100<<1] address is 4 byte, rather than 8 byte aligned,
thus triggering the unaligned exception.

- newer consoles report ISA IRQs with offset 0xe0;
- even if console IRQ value is bogus, we'll have a value < 16

for IXDP465 and PRPMC1100 even if those machines are not configured.
This means we can build a kernel that boots on those machines even
though the machine_is_xxx() macro will always return 0 and other bits
such as PCI won't be compiled in. This can lead to many wasted hours
wondering what you have done to your kernel to make it randomly crash
thus requireing large quantities of beer to be consumed. While I am
all for consumption of large quantities of beer, there are better
reasons to do so then stupid kernel bugs.

bc5e8fdfc6 x86-64/smp: fix random SIGSEGV issues
They seem to have been due to AMD errata 63/122; the fix is to disable
TLB flush filtering in SMP configurations.

Confirmed to fix the problem by Andrew Walrond <andrew@walrond.org>

[ Let's see if we'll have a better fix eventually, this is the Q&D
  "let's get this fixed and out there" version ]

4fb3a53860 [PATCH] files: fix preemption issues
With the new fdtable locking rules, you have to protect fdtable with either
->file_lock or rcu_read_lock/unlock().  There are some places where we
aren't doing either.  This patch fixes those places.

514ccd4e6c [PATCH] ppc32: Add ppc_sys descriptions for PowerQUICC I devices
Added ppc_sys device and system definitions for PowerQUICC I devices.  This
will allow drivers for PQI to be proper platform device drivers.  Currently
sys section contains only MPC885 and MPC866.  Identification should be done
with identify_ppc_sys_by_name call, with board-specific "name" string
passed, since PQI do not have any register that could identify the SOC.
