m68k: Disable Amiga serial console support if modular

2008-10-26T19:11:21Z

If CONFIG_AMIGA_BUILTIN_SERIAL=m, I get the following warnings: | drivers/char/amiserial.c: At top level: | drivers/char/amiserial.c:2138: warning: data definition has no type or storage class | drivers/char/amiserial.c:2138: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of 'console_initcall' | drivers/char/amiserial.c:2138: warning: parameter names (without types) in function declaration | drivers/char/amiserial.c:2134: warning: 'amiserial_console_init' defined but not used because console_initcall() is not defined (nor really sensible) in the modular case. So disable serial console support if the driver is modular. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

epoll: avoid double-inserts in case of EFAULT

2008-10-26T19:09:49Z

In commit f337b9c58332bdecde965b436e47ea4c94d30da0 ("epoll: drop unnecessary test") Thomas found that there is an unnecessary (always true) test in ep_send_events(). The callback never inserts into ->rdllink while the send loop is performed, and also does the ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS test. Given we're holding the mutex during this time, the conditions tested inside the loop are always true. HOWEVER. The test "!ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink)" wasn't there because we insert into ->rdllink, but because the send-events loop might terminate before the whole list is scanned (-EFAULT). In such cases, when the loop terminates early, and when a (leftover) file received an event while we're performing the lockless loop, we need such test to avoid to double insert the epoll items. The list_splice() done a few steps below, will correctly re-insert the ones that were left on "txlist". This should fix the kenrel.org bugzilla entry 11831.

select: deal with math overflow from borderline valid userland data

2008-10-26T18:22:08Z

Some userland apps seem to pass in a "0" for the seconds, and several seconds worth of usecs to select(). The old kernels accepted this just fine, so the new kernels must too. However, due to the upscaling of the microseconds to nanoseconds we had some cases where we got math overflow, and depending on the GCC version (due to inlining decisions) that actually resulted in an -EINVAL return. This patch fixes this by adding the excess microseconds to the seconds field. Also with thanks to Marcin Slusarz for spotting some implementation bugs in the diagnostics patches.

wireless: fix regression caused by regulatory config option

2008-10-26T17:38:52Z

The default for the regulatory compatibility option is wrong; if you picked the default you ended up with a non-functional wifi system (at least I did on Fedora 9 with iwl4965). I don't think even the October 2008 releases of the various distros has the new userland so clearly the default is wrong, and also we can't just go about deleting this in 2.6.29... Change the default to "y" and also adjust the config text a little to reflect this. This patch fixes regression #11859 With thanks to Johannes Berg for the diagnostics Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

r8169: revert "read MAC address from EEPROM on init"

2008-10-26T16:35:05Z

This reverts commit 7bf6bf4803df1adc927f585168d2135fb019c698. The code has both a short existence and an increasing track of failures despite some work to amend it for -rc1. It is not just a matter of reading the eeprom: sometimes the eeprom is read correctly, then the mac address is not written correctly back into the mac registers. Some chipsets seem to work reliably but it is not clear at this point if the code can simply be made to work on a per-chipset basis and post -rc1 is not the place where I want to experiment these things.

arm ide breakage

2008-10-26T16:35:05Z

a) semicolon before the function body is a bad idea b) it's const struct foo, not struct const foo c) incidentally, it's ecard_remove_driver(), not ecard_unregister_driver() d) compiling is occasionally useful. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

fix allmodconfig breakage

2008-10-26T16:35:05Z

If you use KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG (even with empty file) you get broken allmodconfig/allyesconfig; CONFIG_MODULES gets turned off, with obvious massive fallout. Breakage had been introduced when conf_set_all_new_symbols() got used for allmodconfig et.al. What happens is that sym_calc_value(modules_sym) done in conf_read_simple() sets SYMBOL_VALID on both modules_sym and MODULES. When we get to conf_set_all_new_symbols(), we set sym->def[S_DEF_USER] on everything, but it has no effect on sym->curr for the symbols that already have SYMBOL_VALID - these are stuck. Solution: use sym_clear_all_valid() in there. Note that it makes reevaluation of modules_sym redundant - sym_clear_all_valid() will do that itself.
