A regression of building without CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE was introduced with commit b45cfba4e9005d64d419718e7ff7f7cab44c1994 (vt,console,kdb: implement atomic console enter/leave functions).

2010-08-06pci: fix type warnings in intr_remapping.cLinus Torvalds
Commit 69309a059075 ("x86, asm: Clean up and simplify set_64bit()") sanitized the x86-64 types to set_64bit(), and incidentally resulted in warnings like drivers/pci/intr_remapping.c: In function 'modify_irte': drivers/pci/intr_remapping.c:314: warning: passing argument 1 of 'set_64bit' from incompatible pointer type arch/x86/include/asm/cmpxchg_64.h:6: note:expected 'volatile u64 *' but argument is of type 'long unsigned int *' It turns out that the change to set_64bit() really does clean up things, and the PCI intr_remapping.c file did a rather ugly cast in order to avoid warnings with the previous set_64bit() type model. Removing the ugly cast fixes the warning, and makes everybody happy and expects a set_64bit() to take the logical "u64 *" argument.

2010-08-06kconfig: fix make oldconfigSam Ravnborg
Linus wrote: This seems to make "make oldconfig" a _lot_ more verbose than it used to be. In a very annoying way. I just did a quick git bisect. It's introduced by commit 4062f1a4c030 ("kconfig: use long options in conf") by Sam Ravnborg. Apparently that thing is totally buggy, and doesn't just change the option names, but actively breaks them. The old behaviour (from years ago) were reintroduced by accident. Fix this so we are back to the version that are silent if there is nothing to ask about.

2010-08-06Fix init ordering of /dev/console vs callers of modprobeDavid Howells
Make /dev/console get initialised before any initialisation routine that invokes modprobe because if modprobe fails, it's going to want to open /dev/console, presumably to write an error message to. The problem with that is that if the /dev/console driver is not yet initialised, the chardev handler will call request_module() to invoke modprobe, which will fail, because we never compile /dev/console as a module. This will lead to a modprobe loop, showing the following in the kernel log: request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 This can happen, for example, when the built in md5 module can't find the built in cryptomgr module (because the latter fails to initialise). The md5 module comes before the call to tty_init(), presumably because 'crypto' comes before 'drivers' alphabetically. Fix this by calling tty_init() from chrdev_init().

request_key() should return -ENOKEY if the key it constructs has been negatively instantiated. Without this, request_key() can return an unusable key to its caller, and if the caller then does key_validate() that won't catch the problem.

2010-08-05cgroupfs: create /sys/fs/cgroup to mount cgroupfs onGreg KH
We really shouldn't be asking userspace to create new root filesystems. So follow along with all of the other in-kernel filesystems, and provide a mount point in sysfs. For cgroupfs, this should be in /sys/fs/cgroup/ This change provides that mount point when the cgroup filesystem is registered in the kernel.
