2005-09-07[PATCH] tpm: fix tpm_atmel.c on ICH6Philipp Matthias Hahn1-0/+3
While installing Debian on our new IBM X41 Tablet, I tried briefly to use the built-in Atmel TPM. The Athmel TPM is also located on the LPC-bus of the ICH6. To make it work I had to apply the following patch: Signed-off-by: Philipp Matthias Hahn <pmhahn@titan.lahn.de> Acked-by: Kylene Jo Hall <kjhall@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-07[PATCH] hpet: fix drift and urlAlex Williamson1-2/+2
The HPET driver is using a parts per second drift factor instead of the standard parts per million drift the time interpolator code expects.

2005-09-07[PATCH] vt: fix possible memory corruption in complement_posAntonino A. Daplas1-6/+11
Based on a patch from Andr Pereira de Almeida <andre@cachola.com.br> It might be possible for the saved pointer (*p) to become invalid in between vc_resizes, so saving the screen offset instead of the screen pointer is saner. This bug is very hard to trigger though, but Andre probably did, if he's submitting this patch. Anyway, with Andre's patch, it's still possible for the offsets to be still illegal, if the new screen size is smaller than the old one. So I've also added checks if the offsets are still within the screenbuffer size.

2005-09-07[PATCH] Console blanking locking fixStephane Doyon1-0/+4
I've had WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED warnings when calling TIOCLINUX TIOCL_BLANKSCREEN and TIOCL_UNBLANKSCREEN. (I'm blind and I use a braille display. I use those functions to blank my laptop's screen so people don't read it, and hopefully to conserve power.) The warnings are from these places: do_blank_screen at drivers/char/vt.c:2754 (Not tainted) save_screen at drivers/char/vt.c:575 (Not tainted) do_unblank_screen at drivers/char/vt.c:2822 (Not tainted) set_palette at drivers/char/vt.c:2908 (Not tainted) At a glance I would think the following patch ought to fix that. Tested on one machine. Could you please tell me if this is correct and/or forward the patch where appropriate...

Newer Sony VAIO models (VGN-S480, VGN-S460, VGN-S3XP etc) use a new method to initialize the SPIC device. The new way to initialize (and disable) the device comes directly from the AML code in the _CRS, _SRS and _DIS methods from the DSDT table. This patch adds support for the new models.

2005-09-05[SPARC64]: Kconfig fix (GEN_RTC dependencies)Al Viro1-1/+1
Yet another architecture not coverd by GEN_RTC - sparc64 never picked it until now and it doesn't have asm/rtc.h to go with it, so it wouldn't compile anyway (or have these ioctls in the user-visible headers, for that matter). FWIW, I'm very tempted to introduce ARCH_HAS_GEN_RTC and have it set in arch/*/Kconfig for architectures that know what to do with this stuff - for something supposedly generic the list of architectures where it doesn't work is getting too long...

2005-09-05[PATCH] ppc32: Added support for the Book-E style Watchdog TimerKumar Gala3-0/+196
PowerPC 40x and Book-E processors support a watchdog timer at the processor core level. The timer has implementation dependent timeout frequencies that can be configured by software. One the first Watchdog timeout we get a critical exception. It is left to board specific code to determine what should happen at this point. If nothing is done and another timeout period expires the processor may attempt to reset the machine. Command line parameters: wdt=0 : disable watchdog (default) wdt=1 : enable watchdog wdt_period=N : N sets the value of the Watchdog Timer Period. The Watchdog Timer Period meaning is implementation specific. Check User Manual for the processor for more details. This patch is based off of work done by Takeharu Kato.

2005-09-03[WATCHDOG] softdog-timer-running-oops.patchChuck Ebbert1-4/+9
The softdog watchdog timer has a bug that can create an oops: 1. Load the module without the nowayout option. 2. Open the driver and close it without writing 'V' before close. 3. Unload the module. The timer will continue to run... 4. Oops happens when timer fires. Reported Sun, 10 Oct 2004, by Michael Schierl <schierlm@gmx.de> Fix is easy: always take a reference on the module on open. Release it only when the device is closed and no timer is running. Tested on 2.6.13-rc6 using the soft_noboot option. While the timer is running and the device is closed, the module use count stays at 1. After the timer fires, it drops to 0. Repeatedly opening and closing the driver caused no problems. Please apply.

2005-09-03[WATCHDOG] w83627hf_wdt.c-initialized_bios_bugP@Draig Brady1-0/+6
Attached is a small update to the w83627hf watchdog driver to initialise appropriately if it was already initialised in the BIOS. On tyan motherboards for e.g. you can init the watchdog to 4 mins, then when the driver is loaded it sets the watchdog to "seconds" mode, and then machine will reboot within 4 seconds. So this patch resets the timeout to the configured value if the watchdog is already running. Signed-off-by: P@draig Brady <P@draigBrady.com> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>

2005-09-03[WATCHDOG] correct sysfs name for watchdog devicesOlaf Hering3-3/+3
While looking for possible candidates for our udev.rules package, I found a few odd ->name properties. /dev/watchdog has minor 130 according to devices.txt. Since all watchdog drivers use the misc_register() call, they will end up in /sys/class/misc/$foo. udev may create the /dev/watchdog node if the driver is loaded. I dont have such a device, so I cant test it. The drivers below provide names with spaces and even with / in it. Not a big deal, but apps may expect /dev/watchdog.

2005-08-27[PATCH] Remove race between con_open and con_closePaul Mackerras1-1/+1
[ Same race and same patch also by Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> ] I have a laptop (G3 powerbook) which will pretty reliably hit a race between con_open and con_close late in the boot process and oops in vt_ioctl due to tty->driver_data being NULL. What happens is this: process A opens /dev/tty6; it comes into con_open() (drivers/char/vt.c) and assign a non-NULL value to tty->driver_data. Then process A closes that and concurrently process B opens /dev/tty6. Process A gets through con_close() and clears tty->driver_data, since tty->count == 1. However, before process A can decrement tty->count, we switch to process B (e.g. at the down(&tty_sem) call at drivers/char/tty_io.c line 1626). So process B gets to run and comes into con_open with tty->count == 2, as tty->count is incremented (in init_dev) before con_open is called. Because tty->count != 1, we don't set tty->driver_data. Then when the process tries to do anything with that fd, it oopses. The simple and effective fix for this is to test tty->driver_data rather than tty->count in con_open. The testing and setting of tty->driver_data is serialized with respect to the clearing of tty->driver_data in con_close by the console_sem. We can't get a situation where con_open sees tty->driver_data != NULL and then con_close on a different fd clears tty->driver_data, because tty->count is incremented before con_open is called. Thus this patch eliminates the race, and in fact with this patch my laptop doesn't oops.
