* Add 'hw_regs_t **hws' argument to ide_device_add[_all]() and convert host drivers + ide_legacy_init_one() + ide_setup_pci_device[s]() to use it instead of calling ide_init_port_hw() directly. [ However if host has > 1 port we must still set hwif->chipset to hint consecutive ide_find_port() call that the previous slot is occupied. ] * Unexport ide_init_port_hw(). v2: * Use defines instead of hard-coded values in buddha.c, gayle.c and q40ide.c. (Suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven) * Better patch description. v3: * Fix build problem in ide-cs.c. (Noticed by Stephen Rothwell) There should be no functional changes caused by this patch.

2008-07-22usb_serial: API all changeAlan Cox
USB serial likes to use port->tty back pointers for the real work it does and to do so without any actual locking. Unfortunately when you consider hangup events, hangup/parallel reopen or even worse hangup followed by parallel close events the tty->port and port->tty pointers are not guaranteed to be the same as port->tty is the active tty while tty->port is the port the tty may or may not still be attached to. So rework the entire API to pass the tty struct. For console cases we need to pass both for now. This shows up multiple drivers that immediately crash with USB console some of which have been fixed in the process. Longer term we need a proper tty as console abstraction Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-07-22execve filename: document and export via auxiliary vectorJohn Reiser
The Linux kernel puts the filename argument of execve() into the new address space. Many developers are surprised to learn this. Those who know and could use it, object "But it's not documented." Those who want to use it dislike the expression (char *)(1+ strlen(env[-1+ n_env]) + env[-1+ n_env]) because it requires locating the last original environment variable, and assumes that the filename follows the characters. This patch documents the insertion of the filename, and makes it easier to find by adding a new tag AT_EXECFN in the ElfXX_auxv_t; see <elf.h>. In many cases readlink("/proc/self/exe",) gives the same answer. But if all the original pages get unmapped, then the kernel erases the symlink for /proc/self/exe. This can happen when a program decompressor does a good job of cleaning up after uncompressing directly to memory, so that the address space of the target program looks the same as if compression had never happened. One example is http://upx.sourceforge.net . One notable use of the underlying concept (what path containED the executable) is glibc expanding $ORIGIN in DT_RUNPATH. In practice for the near term, it may be a good idea for user-mode code to use both /proc/self/exe and AT_EXECFN as fall-back methods for each other. /proc/self/exe can fail due to unmapping, AT_EXECFN can fail because it won't be present on non-new systems. The auxvec or {AT_EXECFN}.d_val also can get overwritten, although in nearly all cases this would be the result of a bug. The runtime cost is one NEW_AUX_ENT using two words of stack space. The underlying value is maintained already as bprm->exec; setup_arg_pages() in fs/exec.c slides it for stack_shift, etc. Signed-off-by: John Reiser <jreiser@BitWagon.com> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com> Cc: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-07-22module: turn longs into ints for module sizesDenys Vlasenko
This shrinks module.o and each *.ko file. And finally, structure members which hold length of module code (four such members there) and count of symbols are converted from longs to ints. We cannot possibly have a module where 32 bits won't be enough to hold such counts. For one, module loading checks module size for sanity before loading, so such insanely big module will fail that test first.

2008-07-22x86: rename PTE_MASK to PTE_PFN_MASKJeremy Fitzhardinge
Rusty, in his peevish way, complained that macros defining constants should have a name which somewhat accurately reflects the actual purpose of the constant. Aside from the fact that PTE_MASK gives no clue as to what's actually being masked, and is misleadingly similar to the functionally entirely different PMD_MASK, PUD_MASK and PGD_MASK, I don't really see what the problem is. But if this patch silences the incessent noise, then it will have achieved its goal (TODO: write test-case).

He responded eloquently: rusty: use PTE_MASK rusty: use PTE_MASK yes, it's the official constant of masking flags out of ptes ) Change a15af1c9ea2750a9ff01e51615c45950bad8221b 'x86/paravirt: add pte_flags to just get pte flags' removed lguest's private pte_flags() in favor of a generic one. Unfortunately, the generic one doesn't filter out the non-flags bits: this results in lguest creating corrupt shadow page tables and blowing up host memory. Since noone is supposed to use the pfn part of pte_flags(), it seems safest to always do the filtering.

This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things. I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86 machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups. I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype.

Sometimes it is necessary to enable/disable the interrupt of a UIO device from the userspace part of the driver. With this patch, the UIO kernel driver can implement an "irqcontrol()" function that does this. Userspace can write an s32 value to /dev/uioX (usually 0 or 1 to turn the irq off or on).
