2008-01-24spi: omap2_mcspi PIO RX fixKalle Valo
Before transmission of the last word in PIO RX_ONLY mode rx+tx mode is enabled: /* prevent last RX_ONLY read from triggering * more word i/o: switch to rx+tx */ if (c == 0 && tx == NULL) mcspi_write_cs_reg(spi, OMAP2_MCSPI_CHCONF0, l); But because c is decremented after the test, c will never be zero and rx+tx will not be enabled. This breaks RX_ONLY mode PIO transfers. Fix it by decrementing c in the beginning of the various I/O loops.

This reverts commit 81100eb80add328c4d2a377326f15aa0e7236398 for the release, to avoid the unnecessary warning noise that is only really relevant to wireless driver developers.

2008-01-24fix hugepages leak due to pagetable page sharingLarry Woodman
The shared page table code for hugetlb memory on x86 and x86_64 is causing a leak. When a user of hugepages exits using this code the system leaks some of the hugepages. ------------------------------------------------------- Part of /proc/meminfo just before database startup: HugePages_Total: 5500 HugePages_Free: 5500 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB Just before shutdown: HugePages_Total: 5500 HugePages_Free: 4475 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB After shutdown: HugePages_Total: 5500 HugePages_Free: 4988 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 Hugepagesize: 2048 kB ---------------------------------------------------------- The problem occurs durring a fork, in copy_hugetlb_page_range(). It locates the dst_pte using huge_pte_alloc(). Since huge_pte_alloc() calls huge_pmd_share() it will share the pmd page if can, yet the main loop in copy_hugetlb_page_range() does a get_page() on every hugepage. This is a violation of the shared hugepmd pagetable protocol and creates additional referenced to the hugepages causing a leak when the unmap of the VMA occurs. We can skip the entire replication of the ptes when the hugepage pagetables are shared. The attached patch skips copying the ptes and the get_page() calls if the hugetlbpage pagetable is shared.

2008-01-24lockdep: fix kernel crash on module unloadArjan van de Ven
Michael Wu noticed in his lkml post at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119396182726091&w=2 that certain wireless drivers ended up having their name in module memory, which would then crash the kernel on module unload. The patch he proposed was a bit clumsy in that it increased the size of a lockdep entry significantly; the patch below tries another approach, it checks, on module teardown, if the name of a class is in module space and then zaps the class. This is very similar to what we already do with keys that are in module space.

2008-01-23ACPI: DMI blacklist to reduce console warnings on OSI(Linux) systems.Len Brown

2008-01-23ACPI: Delete Intel Customer Reference Board (CRB) from OSI(Linux) DMI listLen Brown
Linux does not want BIOS writers to invoke _OSI(Linux) - for in the field it causes more Windows incompatibility problems than it solves. So when it is seen in the BIOS for an Intel Customer Reference Board, Linux should ignore its effect by default, and should complain loudly. Otherwise, the reference BIOS will go unfixed, and the bad BIOS will spread to the field. Users of this board can get the old behavior with "acpi_osi=Linux" As this was the only entry, delete acpi_osl_dmi_table[]. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Changeset 16b110c3fd760620b4a787db6ed512fe531ab1b5 (dmfe warning fix) bothed up the offsets read from the SROM so that it doesn't read the same datums it used to. The change made transformations like turning: "srom + 34" into "(__le32 *)srom + 34/4" which doesn't work because 4 does not divide evenly into 34 so we're using a different pointer offset than in the original code.

2008-01-22x86: GEODE fix a race condition in the MFGPT timer tickJordan Crouse
When we set the MFGPT timer tick, there is a chance that we'll immediately assert an event. If for some reason the IRQ routing for this clock has been setup for some other purpose, then we could end up firing an interrupt into the SMM handler or worse. This rearranges the timer tick init function to initalize the handler before we set up the MFGPT clock to make sure that even if we get an event, it will go to the handler. Furthermore, in the handler we need to make sure that we clear the event, even if the timer isn't running.
