51597acfd3 Alpha Linux kernel fails with inconsistent kallsyms data
The build of the Alpha Linux kernel currently fails[1] with inconsistent
kallsyms data.  As I never saw that before, I thought about hardware
problems.  But in fact it is a bug in the Linux kernel.

The end of the rodata section is marked with the "__end_rodata" symbol.
This symbol have different aligning constraints than the inittext parts
and therefor the start marked "_sinittext".  Because of that the
__end_rodata symbol shifts between < _sinittext and == _sinittext.  The
later variant is seen as a code symbol and recorded in the kallsyms data.

On fix would be to move the exception table a little bit and get some
space between that two areas.

1209726ce9 security: filesystem capabilities: fix CAP_SETPCAP handling
The filesystem capability support meaning for CAP_SETPCAP is less powerful
than the non-filesystem capability support.  As such, when filesystem
capabilities are configured, we should not permit CAP_SETPCAP to 'enhance'
the current process through strace manipulation of a child process.

086f7316f0 security: filesystem capabilities: fix fragile setuid fixup code
This commit includes a bugfix for the fragile setuid fixup code in the
case that filesystem capabilities are supported (in access()).  The effect
of this fix is gated on filesystem capability support because changing
securebits is only supported when filesystem capabilities support is
configured.)

abbaeff38c doc: doc maintainers
Maintain the kernel's Documentation/ tree.

This includes tree layout and contents, although not much in terms of new
content production.  That will usually have to be done by someone familiar
with the software, at least in some rough form.

Includes review and editorial assistance for people contributing changes
to /Documentation.

Also includes prodding people for content if something is in need of

4b1295b0df spi: fix the read path in spidev
This got broken by the recent "fix rmmod $spi_driver while spidev-user is
active".  I tested the rmmod & write path but didn't check the read path.
I am sorry.  The read logic changed and spidev_sync_read() +
spidev_sync_write() do not return zero on success anymore but the number
of bytes that has been transfered over the bus.  This patch changes the
logic and copy_to_user() gets called again.

The write path returns the number of bytes which are written to the
underlying device what may be less than the requested size.  This patch
makes the same change to the read path or else we request a read of 20
bytes, get 10, don't call copy to user and report to the user that we read
10 bytes.

c76a58783d man-pages is supported
Starting last month, I reached a long-time goal: man-pages finally has a
paid, full-time maintainer, thanks to a fellowship from the Linux
Foundation.  It's still a little unclear how long the LF money will last
for the fellowship, but for the foreseeable future, I'll be working on:

* Properly documenting every new Linux kernel-userland (and glibc) API,
  and every API change, that is released into the mainline kernel, ideally
  before actual release.  (That's the ideal, but there's a quite a
  backlog, so I'm not going to achieve the ideal immediately.)

* Testing new APIs, again ideally before they are released into the
  mainline kernel, and probably doing some light bug fixing while I'm at
  it (e.g., the recent utimensat() work).

* Design review of new APIs, which of course can only usefully be done
  before they are released into the mainline kernel.

* And of course accepting patches and dealing with bug reports for
  existing man pages.

While I'm at it, also fix this warning:

drivers/video/fsl-diu-fb.c:314: warning: format '%lx' expects type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'phys_addr_t'

And these section mismatches:

..from the function fsl_diu_remove() to the function .exit.text:uninstall_fb()
..from the function fsl_diu_remove() to the function .exit.text:uninstall_fb()
..from the function install_fb() to the variable .devinit.data:fsl_diu_mode_db

..from the function fsl_diu_probe() to the function .exit.text:uninstall_fb()
..from the function fsl_diu_probe() to the function .exit.text:uninstall_fb()

Also, some sparse fixes: make two functions static, and use NULL where
appropriate. There are still a lot of sparse warnings, mainly wrt absence
of __iomem annotations, but some will require ugly __force stuff. I'll leave
them for now, since proper fix would be not that trivial as few one-liners
below.

da9eac8990 lib: taint kernel in common report_bug() WARN path.
Commit 95b570c9ce ("Taint kernel after
WARN_ON(condition)") introduced a TAINT_WARN that was implemented for
all architectures using the generic warn_on_slowpath(), which excluded
any architecture that set HAVE_ARCH_WARN_ON.

As all of the architectures that implement their own WARN_ON() all go
through the report_bug() path (specifically handling BUG_TRAP_TYPE_WARN),
taint the kernel there as well for consistency.

Tested on avr32 and sh. Also relevant for s390, parisc, and powerpc.

When writing /proc/acpi/alarm in adjust mode, e.g.
	echo "+0000-00-00 00:00:15" >/proc/acpi/alarm
The "century" field should be read and added to "year" field before
writing, otherwise the CMOS time will go back to 2000 years ago, e.g.
	# cat /proc/acpi/alarm
	0008-06-21 11:38:46
Then the system time may be reset to the date of manufacture after
rebooting. This patch fixed this issue.

471d47e322 rtc-x1205: Fix alarm set
I have discovered that the current version of rtc-x1205.c does not work
correctly when asked to set the alarm time by the RTC_WKALM_SET ioctl()
call.  This happens because the alarm registers do not behave like the
current-time registers.  They are non-volatile.  Two things go wrong:

- the X1205 requires a 10 msec delay after any attempt to write to the
  non-volatile registers.  The x1205_set_datetime() routine does the write
  as 8 single-byte writes without any delay.  Only the first write
  succeeds.  The second is NAKed because the chip is busy.

- the X1205 resets the RWEL bit after any write to the non-volatile
  registers.  This would lock out any further writes after the first even
  with a 10msec delay.

I fix this by doing a single 8-byte write and then waiting 10msec for the
chip to be ready.  A side effect of this change is that it will speed up
x1205_rtc_set_time() which uses the same code.

I have also implemented the 'enable' bit in the rtc_wkalm structure, which
the existing driver does not attempt to do.  I have modified both
x1205_rtc_set_alarm() to set the AL0E bit, and x1205_rtc_read_alarm() to
return it.

I have tested this patch on a LinkSys NSLU2 under OpenWRT, but on no other
hardware.  On the NSLU2 the X1205 correctly asserts its IRQ pin when the
alarm time matches the current time.

7ca796f492 serial: fix serial_match_port() for dynamic major tty-device numbers
As reported by Vipul Gandhi, the current serial_match_port() doesn't work
for tty-devices using dynamic major number allocation.  Fix it.

It oopses if you suspend a serial port with _dynamic_ major number.  ATM,
I think, there's only the drivers/serial/jsm/jsm_driver.c driver, that
does it in-tree.

There's a slight fault in the stub logic.  It fails for FW_LOADER=m and
the user =y.

This should fix it.

This patch fixes the following 2.6.26-rc regression:

a01cc65703 rtc: rtc_read_alarm() handles wraparound
While 0e36a9a4a7 ("rtc: fix readback from
/sys/class/rtc/rtc?/wakealarm") made sure that active alarms were never
returned with invalid "wildcard" fields (negative), it can still report
(wrongly) that the alarm triggers in the past.

Example, if it's now 10am, an alarm firing at 5am will be triggered
TOMORROW not today.  (Which may also be next month or next year...)

This updates that alarm handling in three ways:

  * Handle alarm rollover in the common cases of RTCs that don't
    support matching on all date fields.

  * Skip the invalid-field logic when it's not needed.

  * Minor bugfix ... tm_isdst should be ignored, it's one of the
    fields Linux doesn't maintain.

A warning is emitted for some of the unhandled rollover cases, but the
possible combinations are a bit too numerous to handle every bit of
potential hardware and firmware braindamage.

251b97f552 mm: dirty page accounting vs VM_MIXEDMAP
Dirty page accounting accurately measures the amound of dirty pages in
writable shared mappings by mapping the pages RO (as indicated by
vma_wants_writenotify).  We then trap on first write and call
set_page_dirty() on the page, after which we map the page RW and
continue execution.

When we launder dirty pages, we call clear_page_dirty_for_io() which
clears both the dirty flag, and maps the page RO again before we start
writeout so that the story can repeat itself.

vma_wants_writenotify() excludes VM_PFNMAP on the basis that we cannot
do the regular dirty page stuff on raw PFNs and the memory isn't going
anywhere anyway.

The recently introduced VM_MIXEDMAP mixes both !pfn_valid() and
pfn_valid() pages in a single mapping.

We can't do dirty page accounting on !pfn_valid() pages as stated
above, and mapping them RO causes them to be COW'ed on write, which
breaks VM_SHARED semantics.

Excluding VM_MIXEDMAP in vma_wants_writenotify() would mean we don't do
the regular dirty page accounting for the pfn_valid() pages, which
would bring back all the head-aches from inaccurate dirty page
accounting.

So instead, we let the !pfn_valid() pages get mapped RO, but fix them
up unconditionally in the fault path.

This updates the MAINTAINERS entries for powerpc.  It adds Ben H to
the overall Linux for PowerPC entry and makes it clear this covers
both 32-bit and 64-bit machines.  It removes the separate entry we had
for Linux on 64-bit PowerPC where Anton and I were listed as
maintainers - Anton hasn't been involved in the day-to-day maintenance
of the code for several years.  Finally, it removes the entry for the
Linux for PowerPC boot code where Tom Rini was listed as the
maintainer.  That code got completely rewritten when we merged
32-bit and 64-bit, and I and the various platform maintainers have
been maintaining that code since.

ea0c62f7cf ahci: always clear all bits in irq_stat
Some AHCI controllers (ICH7 was reported) set pending bit in
HOST_IRQ_STAT for non-existent ports and when it's not cleared falls
into IRQ storm.  Always clear full irq_stat instead of only the bits
that are handled.  As nothing changes for recognized ports, the risk
of breaking things is pretty low.
