bfe4f4f800 parisc: remove klist iterators
commit 11c3b5c3e0
Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
Date:   Tue Dec 16 12:24:56 2008 -0800

    driver core: move klist_children into private structure

Broke our parisc build pretty badly because we touch the klists directly
in three cases (AGP, SBA and GSC).  Although GregKH will revert this
patch, there's no reason we should be using the iterators directly, we
can just move to the standard device_for_each_child() API.

187cfc439f hvc_console: Remove tty->low_latency on pseries backends
The hvcs and hvsi backends both set tty->low_latency to one, along
with more or less scary comments regarding bugs or races that would
happen if not doing so.

However, they also both call tty_flip_buffer_push() in conexts where
it's illegal to do so since some recent tty changes (or at least it
may have been illegal always but it nows blows) when low_latency is
set (ie, hard interrupt or with spinlock held and irqs disabled).

This removes the setting for now to get them back to working condition,
we'll have to address the races described in the comments separately
if they are still an issue (some of this might have been fixed already).

9c1e8a4ebc intel-agp: fix a panic with 1M of shared memory, no GTT entries
When GTT size is equal to amount of video memory, the amount of GTT
entries is computed lower than zero, which is invalid and leads to
off-by-one error in intel_i915_configure()

2f68891314 x86/agp: tighten check to update amd nb aperture
Impact: fix bug to make agp work with dri

Jeffrey reported that dri does work with 64bit, but doesn't work with
32bit it turns out NB aperture is 32M, aperture on agp is 128M

64bit is using 64M for vaidation for 64 iommu/gart 32bit is only using
32M..., and will not update the nb aperture.

So try to compare nb apterture and agp apterture before leaving not
touch nb aperture.

This is caused by

in arch/m68k/include/asm/atarihw.h, which conflicts with the new "mfp" enum in
net/mac80211/ieee80211_i.h.

Rename "mfp" to "st_mfp", as it's a way too generic name for a global #define.

9c3c133b1e hwrng: timeriomem - New driver
Some hardware platforms, the TS-7800[1] is one for example, can
supply the kernel with an entropy source, albeit a slow one for
TS-7800 users, by just reading a particular IO address.  This
source must not be read above a certain rate otherwise the quality
suffers.

The driver is then hooked into by calling
platform_device_(register|add|del) passing a structure similar to:
------
static struct timeriomem_rng_data ts78xx_ts_rng_data = {
        .address        = (u32 *__iomem) TS_RNG,
        .period         = 1000000, /* one second */
};

static struct platform_device ts78xx_ts_rng_device = {
        .name           = "timeriomem_rng",
        .id             = -1,
        .dev            = {
                .platform_data  = &ts78xx_ts_rng_data,
        },
        .num_resources  = 0,
};
------

878b8619f7 Fix memory corruption in console selection
Fix an off-by-two memory error in console selection.

The loop below goes from sel_start to sel_end (inclusive), so it writes
one more character.  This one more character was added to the allocated
size (+1), but it was not multiplied by an UTF-8 multiplier.

This patch fixes a memory corruption when UTF-8 console is used and the
user selects a few characters, all of them 3-byte in UTF-8 (for example
a frame line).

When memory redzones are enabled, a redzone corruption is reported.
When they are not enabled, trashing of random memory occurs.

808ffa3d30 tty_open can return to userspace holding tty_mutex
__tty_open could return (to userspace) holding the tty_mutex thanks to a
regression introduced by 4a2b5fddd5 ("Move
tty lookup/reopen to caller").

This was found by bisecting an fsfuzzer problem.  Admittedly I have no
idea how it managed to tickle this 100% reliably, but it is clearly a
regression and when hit leaves the box in a completely unusable state.
This patch lets the fsfuzzer test complete every time.

7f8030d166 hvc_console: Remove tty->low_latency
This patch removes the tty->low_latency setting.

For irq based hvc_console backends the tty->low_latency must be set to 0,
because the tty_flip_buffer_push() function must not be called from IRQ context
(see drivers/char/tty_buffer.c).

For polled backends, the low_latency setting causes the bug trace below, because
tty_flip_buffer_push() is called within an atomic context and subsequent calls
might sleep due to mutex_lock.

fb144adc51 sysrq: add commentary on why we use the console loglevel over using KERN_EMERG
Add an explanitory comment as to why we modify the kernel console loglevel

c0253eec2a tty: Fix race in the flush for some ldiscs
If you issue an ioctl to flush a tty as the line discipline is changing or
otherwise unplugged you can get a crash. The bug is very old but the rest
of the BKL lock dropping and some very "good" luck on Ingo's part caught
an example.

Use the correct ldisc_ref form so that we wait for the ldisc change to
complete and then flush

da9dc13289 hvc_console: Do not set low_latency when using interrupts
hvc_console is setting low_latency unconditionally, but some clients are
interrupt driven and will call hvc_poll from irq context.  This will cause
tty_flip_buffer_push to be called from irq context, and it very clearly
states it must not be called from IRQ when low_latency is specified.

Looking back through history:
v2.6.16-rc1 via 33f0f88f1c
    [PATCH] TTY layer buffering revamp

added this new api.

v2.6.16-rc3 via 8977d929e4
    [PATCH] tty buffering stall fix

claims to fix a stall discovered with hvc_console

v2.6.16-rc5 via fb5c594c2a
   [PATCH] Fix race condition in hvc console.

said set this flag to avoid a stall problem, and was merged through
the powerpc arch tree.

Without searching for email discussions, it would appear to be an
overlapping "fix", but one that did not consider all users.

9fef3d2d15 hvc_console: Change an mb() to smp_mb() and add some comments
I remember some history on this barrier.  There was a race between
open via /dev/console and the tty being fully setup.  Its also why
there is a temporary variable and the global is assigned at the end
of the function.
