b312c33e36 [PARISC] Document that we tolerate "Relaxed Ordering"
This means "DMA Read returns" can bypass "MMIO Writes".
Violating the PCI specs in this case improves outbound DMA "flows"
and is currently not required by any drivers.

This is NOT a new behavior. Previous chipsets did this
already and I believe ZX1 PDC was already setting this
for hpux. I just want to further document the behavior.

60162e498e [PATCH] powermac: Fix i2c on keywest based chips
The new i2c implementation for PowerMac has a regression that causes the
hardware to go out of state when probing non-existent devices. While
fixing that, I also found & fixed a couple of other corner cases. This
fixes booting with a pbbuttons version that scans the i2c bus for an LMU
controller among others. Tested on a dual G5 with thermal control (which
has heavy i2c activity) with no problem so far.

2889773131 [PATCH] powerpc: Lower threshold for DART enablement to 1GB
Turn on the DART already at 1GB. This is needed because of crippled
devices in some systems, i.e. Airport Extreme cards, only supporting
30-bit DMA addresses.

Otherwise, users with between 1 and 2GB of memory will need to manually
enable it with iommu=force, and that's no good.

Some simple performance tests show that there's a slight impact of
enabling DART, but it's in the 1-3% range (kernel build with disk I/O
as well as over NFS).

iommu=off can still be used for those who don't want to deal with the
overhead (and don't need it for any devices).

fef6108d45 [PATCH] Fix locking in gianfar
This patch fixes several bugs in the gianfar driver, including a major one
where spinlocks were horribly broken:

* Split gianfar locks into two types: TX and RX
* Made it so gfar_start() now clears RHALT
* Fixed a bug where calling gfar_start_xmit() with interrupts off would
corrupt the interrupt state
* Fixed a bug where a frame could potentially arrive, and never be handled
(if no more frames arrived
* Fixed a bug where the rx_work_limit would never be observed by the rx
completion code
* Fixed a bug where the interrupt handlers were not actually protected by
their spinlocks

036999d501 [ARM] for_each_possible_cpu
for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs.  We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs.  This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.

We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.

This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu.

6cc1b65886 [ARM] 3480/1: ixp4xx: fix irq2gpio array type
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

The irq2gpio array was recently converted from an array of ints to an
array of chars (by patch 3368/1.)  However, this array contains elements
that are -1, and on ARM, the char type is unsigned by default, so this
patch broke the GPIO check in ixp4xx_set_irq_type.

Change the 'char' to be a 'signed char' to fix this.

18bd057b14 [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Fix x87 information leak between processes
AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE
when an exception is pending.  This means the value leak through
context switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction
state of other processes.

This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as
being different from Intel before.

The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally
calling FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip
it when not needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to
clear FOP/FIP/FDP.

This means other processes always will only see a constant value
defined by the kernel in their FP state.

I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already
in L1 during context switch to make the overhead of this low.

Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs
who don't need it.

Patch for both i386/x86-64.

The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard
Brunner provided the basic code for the workarounds, with contribution
from Jan.

This is CVE-2006-1056

962f831f67 [PATCH] sound: fix hang in mpu401_uart.c
This fixes a hang in mpu401_uart.c that can occur when the mpu401 interface
is non-existent or otherwise doesn't respond to commands but we issue IO
anyway.  snd_mpu401_uart_cmd now returns an error code that is passed up
the stack so that an open() will fail immediately in such cases.

Eventually discovered after wine/cxoffice would constantly cause hard
lockups on my desktop immediately after loading (emulating Windows too
well).  Turned out that I'd recently moved my sound cards around and using
/dev/sequencer now talks to a sound card with a broken MPU.

This second version changes -EFAULT to -EIO and frees open resources on
error too.  Test booted and seems to work ok.

7522a8423b [PATCH] kprobes: NULL out non-relevant fields in struct kretprobe
In cases where a struct kretprobe's *_handler fields are non-NULL, it is
possible to cause a system crash, due to the possibility of calls ending up
in zombie functions.  Documentation clearly states that unused *_handlers
should be set to NULL, but kprobe users sometimes fail to do so.

Fix it by setting the non-relevant fields of the struct kretprobe to NULL.

4f73247f0e [PATCH] block/elevator.c: remove unused exports
This patch removes the following unused EXPORT_SYMBOL's:
- elv_requeue_request
- elv_completed_request

They are only used by the block core, hence they need not be exported.

We added the ability to change a block device's IO elevator scheduler both
at kernel boot and on-the-fly, but we only documented the elevator= boot
parameter.  Add a quick how-to on doing it on the fly.
