2007-07-27[SCSI] libiscsi: fix cmd seqeunce number checkingMike Christie
We should not be checking the cmd windown for just handling r2t responses. And if the window closes in on us, always have scsi-ml requeue the command from our queuecommand function. Signed-off-by: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

2007-07-27[SCSI] libiscsi: make sure session is not blocked when removing hostMike Christie
When we logout we block the session since we are not taking any more commands, but when we call remove host we want to make sure any IO that got queued up and blocked gets failed upwards quickly, so we unblock the session and fail it.

2007-07-229p: Don't use binary sysctl numbers.Eric W. Biederman
The recent 9p commit: bd238fb431f31989898423c8b6496bc8c4204a86 that supposedly only moved files also introduced a new 9p sysctl interface that did not properly register it's sysctl binary numbers. And since it was only for debugging clearly did not need a binary fast path in any case. So this patch just remove the binary numbers. See Documentation/sysctl/ctl_unnumbered.txt for more details. While I was at it I cleaned up the sysctl initializers a little as well so there is less to read.

2007-07-22x86: Replace NSC/Cyrix specific chipset access macros by inlined functions.Juergen Beisert
Due to index register access ordering problems, when using macros a line like this fails (and does nothing): setCx86(CX86_CCR2, getCx86(CX86_CCR2) | 0x88); With inlined functions this line will work as expected. Note about a side effect: Seems on Geode GX1 based systems the "suspend on halt power saving feature" was never enabled due to this wrong macro expansion. With inlined functions it will be enabled, but this will stop the TSC when the CPU runs into a HLT instruction. Kernel output something like this: Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -472746897 ns) This is the 3rd version of this patch. - Adding missed arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mtrr/state.c Thanks to Andres Salomon - Adding some big fat comments into the new header file Suggested by Andi Kleen AK: fixed x86-64 compilation Signed-off-by: Juergen Beisert <juergen@kreuzholzen.de> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Reenable kprobes and alternative patching when the kernel text is write protected by DEBUG_RODATA Add a general utility function to change write protected text. The new function remaps the code using vmap to write it and takes care of CPU synchronization. It also does CLFLUSH to make icache recovery faster. There are some limitations on when the function can be used, see the comment. This is a newer version that also changes the paravirt_ops code. text_poke also supports multi byte patching now.

2007-07-22x86: i386-show-unhandled-signals-v3Masoud Asgharifard Sharbiani
This patch makes the i386 behave the same way that x86_64 does when a segfault happens. A line gets printed to the kernel log so that tools that need to check for failures can behave more uniformly between debug.show_unhandled_signals sysctl variable to 0 (or by doing echo 0 > /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace) Also, all of the lines being printed are now using printk_ratelimit() to deny the ability of DoS from a local user with a program like the following: main() { while (1) if (!fork()) *(int *)0 = 0; } This new revision also includes the fix that Andrew did which got rid of new sysctl that was added to the system in earlier versions of this. Also, 'show-unhandled-signals' sysctl has been renamed back to the old 'exception-trace' to avoid breakage of people's scripts.
