d305ef5d2a [PATCH] driver core: add helper device_is_registered()
add the helper and use it instead of open coding the klist_node_attached() check
(which is a layering violation IMHO)

4c898c7f2f [PATCH] Driver Core: fis bus rescan devices race
bus_rescan_devices_helper() does not hold the dev->sem when it checks for
!dev->driver().  device_attach() holds the sem, but calls again
device_bind_driver() even when dev->driver is set.

What happens is that a first device_attach() call (module insertion time)
is on the way binding the device to a driver.  Another thread calls
bus_rescan_devices().  Now when bus_rescan_devices_helper() checks for
dev->driver it is still NULL 'cos the the prior device_attach() is not yet
finished.  But as soon as the first one releases the dev->sem the second
device_attach() tries to rebind the already bound device again.
device_bind_driver() does this blindly which leads to a corrupt
driver->klist_devices list (the device links itself, the head points to the
device).  Later a call to device_release_driver() sets dev->driver to NULL
and breaks the link it has to itself on knode_driver.  Rmmoding the driver
later calls driver_detach() which leads to an endless loop 'cos the list
head in klist_devices still points to the device.  And since dev->driver is
NULL it's stuck with the same device forever.  Boom.  And rmmod hangs.

Very easy to reproduce with new-style pcmcia and a 16bit card.  Just loop
modprobe <pcmcia-modules> ;cardctl eject; rmmod <card driver, pcmcia
modules>.

Easiest fix is to check if the device is already bound to a driver in
device_bind_driver().  This avoids the double binding.

efb0372bba [PATCH] uml: fix compile warning after consolidation patch
The header declaring this function wasn't included, so the function declaration
was totally bogus wrt. the proto - even if this wasn't going to fail at all.

It was so bad that the compile warning I got was "control reaches end of
non-void function", i.e. missing return. Actually, this has been there for ages,
the consolidation patch just added the warning which was needed to clean it up.
Nice. Really.

41c79dc382 [PATCH] uml: fix bogus HOST_ELF_CLASS symbol name
Even if with a bit of misunderstanding, Al fixed this in commit
95608261da.

Well, the symbol was intended to come from userspace (it exists there on normal
host), but since some hosts may miss that, using the kernel one is just as fine.
However, rename it to be named consistently with the rest.

Actually, he missed converting ELFCLASS32 to coming from kernel headers. For
consistence, add ELFCLASS64 too.

676067cfea [PATCH] Remove unused var from asm/futex.h
As recently done by Russell King for ARM, commit
4732efbeb9 introduces a generic asm/futex.h copied
along most arches, which includes a "-ENOSYS support" to be changed if needed.
However, it includes an unused var (taken from the "real" version) which GCC
warns about.

Remove it from all arches having that file version (i.e. same GIT id).
$ git-diff-tree -r HEAD
and
$ git-ls-tree  -r HEAD include/|grep 9feff4ce14

may be more interesting than looking at the patch itself, to make sure I've
just copied the arm header to all other archs having the original dummy version
of this file.

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
that assumed no more than 7 busses per PHB failed miserably.

Big thanks to Olaf Hering for helping me test this, he's got one of the few
machines that broke from the previous logic.

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.

a131430c20 [SPARC] cs4231: Fix SBUS support in this driver.
From: Christopher Zimmermann <madroach@zakweb.de>

This patch enables SBus support for the cs4231 sound driver.
It is tested on an Ultra2. Capture and playback both work.
I experienced lags and crashes using certain threaded
players like ogg123 and mp3blaster, while the former is
lagging far more. This behavior may be specific to SMP
systems. It is reproducable using the dummy sound card
driver. Sox works flawlessly.

Setting up the calculation of ptr in snd_cs4231_playback_pointer 
was a bit strange. I got it to work by not incrementing the
[pc]_periods_sent counter when starting DMA the first time
in cs4231_dma_trigger. Therefore this dummy thing.

0fb375fb9b [AF_PACKET]: Allow for > 8 byte hardware addresses.
The convention is that longer addresses will simply extend
the hardeware address byte arrays at the end of sockaddr_ll and
packet_mreq.

In making this change a small information leak was also closed.
The code only initializes the hardware address bytes that are
used, but all of struct sockaddr_ll was copied to userspace.
Now we just copy sockaddr_ll to the last byte of the hardware
address used.

For error checking larger structures than our internal
maximums continue to be allowed but an error is signaled if we can
not fit the hardware address into our internal structure.

backporch is the upper/left margin.

Correct.

7a482425f4 [PATCH] nvidiafb: Fix absence of cursor in nvidiafb
A recent change in nvidiafb caused nvidiafb_cursor to always return -ENXIO
instead of using the soft_cursor.  This will happen if the parameter "hwcur"
is not set, which happens to be the default.
