2010-06-06Revert "tty: fix a little bug in scrup, vt.c"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 962400e8fd29981a7b166e463dd143b6ac6a3e76, which was entirely bogus. The code used to multiply the character offset by "vc->vc_cols", and that's actually correct, because 'd' itself is an 'unsigned short'. So the pointer arithmetic already takes the size of a VGA character into account. Changing it to use vc_size_row (which is just "vc_cols" shifted up to take the size of the character into account) ends up multiplying with the VGA character size twice. This got reported as bugs for various other subsystems, because what it actually results in is writing the 16-bit vc_video_erase_char pattern (usually 0x0720: 0x07 is the default attribute, 0x20 is ASCII space) into some random other allocation. So Markus ended up reporting this as a ext4 bug, while to Torsten Kaiser it looked like a problem with KMS or libata. Jeff Chua saw it in different places. And finally - Justin Mattock had slab poisoning enabled, and saw it as a slab poison overwritten. And bisected and reverted this to verify the buggy commit.

2010-06-02agp/uninorth: Fix oops caused by flushing too muchPaul Mackerras
This fixes a sporadic oops at boot on G5 Power Macs. The table_end variable has the address of the last byte of the table. Adding on PAGE_SIZE means we flush too much, and if the page after the table is not mapped for any reason, the kernel will oops. Instead we add on 1 because flush_dcache_range() interprets its second argument as the first byte past the range to be flushed.

2010-05-27ipmi: attempt to register multiple SIs of the same typeMatthew Garrett
Some odd systems may have multiple BMCs, and we want to be able to support them. Let's make the assumption that if a system legitimately has multiple BMCs then each BMC's SI will be of the same type, and also that we won't see multiple SIs of the same type unless we have multiple BMCs. If these hold true then we should register all SIs of the same type.

2010-05-25hangcheck-timer: fix x86_32 bugsYury Polyanskiy
drivers/char/hangcheck-timer.c is doubly broken. When the overflown value of TIMER_FREQ is abnormally low, it spams the syslog with KERN_CRIT messages "Hangcheck: hangcheck value past margin!" But whether it happens or not depends on HZ and lpj in a complex way. People have hit it occasionally as far as google search can tell. First, the following line overflows unsigned long: # define TIMER_FREQ (HZ*loops_per_jiffy) Second, and more importantly, loops_per_jiffy has little to do with the con= version from the the time scale of get_cycles() (aka rdtsc) to the time scale of jiffies. The attached patch resolves both of the problems.

.name, .match_table and .owner are duplicated in both of_platform_driver and device_driver. This patch is a removes the extra copies from struct of_platform_driver and converts all users to the device_driver members. This patch is a pretty mechanical change. The usage model doesn't change and if any drivers have been missed, or if anything has been fixed up incorrectly, then it will fail with a compile time error, and the fixup will be trivial. This patch looks big and scary because it touches so many files, but it should be pretty safe.

Add an implementation of GSM 0710 MUX. The implementation currently supports - Basic and advanced framing (as either end of the link) - UI or UIH data frames - Adaption layer 1-4 (1 and 2 via tty, 3 and 4 as skbuff lists) - Modem and control messages including the correct retry process - Flow control and exposes the MUX channels as a set of virtual tty devices including modem signals.
