2011-04-22tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes receivedFelipe Balbi
it makes it simpler to keep track of the amount of bytes received and simplifies how flush_to_ldisc counts the remaining bytes. It also fixes a bug of lost bytes on n_tty when flushing too many bytes via the USB serial gadget driver.

2011-04-19tty: Clean console safelyPetr Písař
Traditional \E[2J sequence erases console display but scroll-back buffer and underlying device (frame) buffer keep data that can be accessed by scrolling console back. This patch introduce new \E[J parameter 3 that allows to scramble scroll-back buffer explicitly. Session locking programs (screen, vlock) can use it to prevent attacker to browse locked console history.

2011-04-19serial: core, remove uart_update_termiosJiri Slaby
Now, uart_update_termios is empty, so it's time to remove it. We no longer need a live tty in .dtr_rts. So this should prune all the bugs where tty is zeroed in port->tty during tty_port_block_til_ready. There is one thing to note. We don't set ASYNC_NORMAL_ACTIVE now. It's because this is done already in tty_port_block_til_ready.

2011-04-19serial: core, do not set DTR/RTS twice on startupJiri Slaby
In .dtr_rts we do: uart_set_mctrl(uport, TIOCM_DTR | TIOCM_RTS) and call uart_update_termios. It does: uart_set_mctrl(port, TIOCM_DTR | TIOCM_RTS) once again. As the only callsite of uart_update_termios is .dtr_rts, remove the uart_set_mctrl from uart_update_termios to not set it twice.

2011-04-19serial: core, move termios handling to uart_startupJiri Slaby
We should not fiddle with speed and cflags in .dtr_rts hook. Actually we might not have tty at that moment already. So move the console cflag copy and speed setup into uart_startup. Actually the speed setup is already there, but we need to call it unconditionally (uart_startup is called from uart_open with hw_init = 0). This means we move uart_change_speed before dtr/rts setup in .dtr_rts. But this should not matter as the setup should be called after uart_change_speed anyway. Before: After: dtr/rts setup (dtr_rts) uart_change_speed (startup) uart_change_speed (update_termios) dtr/rts setup (dtr_rts) dtr/rts setup (update_termios) dtr/rts setup (update_termios) The second setup will dismiss with the next patch.

2011-04-19serial: altera_uart: Scan for a free port if platform device id is -1Tobias Klauser
Devices extracted from device tree all seem to have pdev->id set to -1. Up until now we mapped all devices with id -1 to the first device. This behaviour could lead to problems when using more than one Altera UART in a system. This patch changes the behaviour of the driver to scan for the next free id in case the id is -1. Because we cannot refer back to the assigned id in altera_uart_remove, the port instance needs to be stored in device drvdata.

2011-04-18next_pidmap: fix overflow conditionLinus Torvalds
next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc. Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range (and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without checking the range of its arguments. So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1" doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to overflow).

Mouse gets "stuck" after restore of PV guest but buttons are in working condition. If driver has been configured for ABS coordinates at start it will get XENKBD_TYPE_POS events and then suddenly after restore it'll start getting XENKBD_TYPE_MOTION events, that will be dropped later and they won't get into user-space. Regression was introduced by hunk 5 and 6 of 5ea5254aa0ad269cfbd2875c973ef25ab5b5e9db ("Input: xen-kbdfront - advertise either absolute or relative coordinates").

2011-04-18md: incorporate new plugging into raid5.NeilBrown
In raid5 plugging is used for 2 things: 1/ collecting writes that require a bitmap update 2/ collecting writes in the hope that we can create full stripes - or at least more-full. We now release these different sets of stripes when plug_cnt is zero.

2011-04-18md: provide generic support for handling unplug callbacks.NeilBrown

2011-04-18powerpc/perf_event: Skip updating kernel counters if register value shrinksEric B Munson
Because of speculative event roll back, it is possible for some event coutners to decrease between reads on POWER7. This causes a problem with the way that counters are updated. Delta calues are calculated in a 64 bit value and the top 32 bits are masked. If the register value has decreased, this leaves us with a very large positive value added to the kernel counters. This patch protects against this by skipping the update if the delta would be negative. This can lead to a lack of precision in the coutner values, but from my testing the value is typcially fewer than 10 samples at a time.
