2010-07-29CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner commentDavid Howells
Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check by removing the following validation condition: lockdep_tasklist_lock_is_held() as commit_creds() does not take the tasklist_lock, and nor do most of the functions that call it, so this check is pointless and it can prevent detection of the RCU lock not being held if the tasklist_lock is held. Instead, add the following validation condition: task->exit_state >= 0 to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change its own credentials. Fix __task_cred()'s comment to: (1) discard the bit that says that the caller must prevent the target task from being deleted. That shouldn't need saying. (2) Add a comment indicating the result of __task_cred() should not be passed directly to get_cred(), but rather than get_task_cred() should be used instead. Also put a note into the documentation to enforce this point there too. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Paul E.

2010-07-27ARM: 6225/1: make TCM allocation static and common for all archsLinus Walleij
This changes the TCM handling so that a fixed area is reserved at 0xfffe0000-0xfffeffff for TCM. This areas is used by XScale but XScale does not have TCM so the mechanisms are mutually exclusive. This change is needed to make TCM detection more dynamic while still being able to compile code into it, and is a must for the unified ARM goals: the current TCM allocation at different places in memory for each machine would be a nightmare if you want to compile a single image for more than one machine with TCM so it has to be nailed down in one place.

2010-07-24ACPI / Sleep: Allow the NVS saving to be skipped during suspend to RAMRafael J. Wysocki
Commit 2a6b69765ad794389f2fc3e14a0afa1a995221c2 (ACPI: Store NVS state even when entering suspend to RAM) caused the ACPI suspend code save the NVS area during suspend and restore it during resume unconditionally, although it is known that some systems need to use acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs for hibernation to work. To allow the affected systems to avoid saving and restoring the NVS area during suspend to RAM and resume, introduce kernel command line option acpi_sleep=nonvs and make acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs work as its alias temporarily (add acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs to the feature removal file).

2010-06-18PCI/PM: Do not use native PCIe PME by defaultRafael J. Wysocki
Commit c7f486567c1d0acd2e4166c47069835b9f75e77b (PCI PM: PCIe PME root port service driver) causes the native PCIe PME signaling to be used by default, if the BIOS allows the kernel to control the standard configuration registers of PCIe root ports. However, the native PCIe PME is coupled to the native PCIe hotplug and calling pcie_pme_acpi_setup() makes some BIOSes expect that the native PCIe hotplug will be used as well. That, in turn, causes problems to appear on systems where the PCIe hotplug driver is not loaded. The usual symptom, as reported by Jaroslav Kameník and others, is that the ACPI GPE associated with PCIe hotplug keeps firing continuously causing kacpid to take substantial percentage of CPU time. To work around this issue, change the default so that the native PCIe PME signaling is only used if directly requested with the help of the pcie_pme= command line switch. Fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15924 , which is a listed regression from 2.6.33. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2010-05-27fs: introduce new truncate sequencenpiggin@suse.de
Introduce a new truncate calling sequence into fs/mm subsystems. Rather than setattr > vmtruncate > truncate, have filesystems call their truncate sequence from ->setattr if filesystem specific operations are required. vmtruncate is deprecated, and truncate_pagecache and inode_newsize_ok helpers introduced previously should be used. simple_setattr is introduced for simple in-ram filesystems to implement the new truncate sequence. Eventually all filesystems should be converted to implement a setattr, and the default code in notify_change should go away. simple_setsize is also introduced to perform just the ATTR_SIZE portion of simple_setattr (ie. changing i_size and trimming pagecache). To implement the new truncate sequence: - filesystem specific manipulations (eg freeing blocks) must be done in the setattr method rather than ->truncate. - vmtruncate can not be used by core code to trim blocks past i_size in the event of write failure after allocation, so this must be performed in the fs code. - convert usage of helpers block_write_begin, nobh_write_begin, cont_write_begin, and *blockdev_direct_IO* to use _newtrunc postfixed variants. These avoid calling vmtruncate to trim blocks (see previous). - inode_setattr should not be used. generic_setattr is a new function to be used to copy simple attributes into the generic inode. - make use of the better opportunity to handle errors with the new sequence. Big problem with the previous calling sequence: the filesystem is not called until i_size has already changed. This means it is not allowed to fail the call, and also it does not know what the previous i_size was. Also, generic code calling vmtruncate to truncate allocated blocks in case of error had no good way to return a meaningful error (or, for example, atomically handle block deallocation).

2010-05-27hwmon: (ltc4245) Read only one GPIO pinIra W. Snyder
Read only one of the GPIO pins as an analog voltage. The ADC can be switched to a different GPIO pin at runtime, but this is not supported. Previously, this driver would report the analog voltage of the currently selected GPIO pin as all three GPIO voltages: in9_input, in10_input and in11_input. Signed-off-by: Ira W.
