0187f221e9 [PATCH] s3c2410fb: fix un-initialised dev field
The current driver is not setting the dev field in the private data
structure, which can lead to an OOPS if the driver tries to report an
error.

e9e2cdb412 [PATCH] clockevents: i386 drivers
Add clockevent drivers for i386: lapic (local) and PIT/HPET (global).  Update
the timer IRQ to call into the PIT/HPET driver's event handler and the
lapic-timer IRQ to call into the lapic clockevent driver.  The assignement of
timer functionality is delegated to the core framework code and replaces the
compile and runtime evalution in do_timer_interrupt_hook()

Use the clockevents broadcast support and implement the lapic_broadcast
function for ACPI.

No changes to existing functionality.

e423ee31db [SCSI] scsi_scan.c: handle bad inquiry responses
A particular USB device has been reporting short inquiry lengths.  The
SCSI code cannot operate properly unless we get an inquiry length of
36 or above (because of the way we parse vendor and product), so
assume at least 36 bytes are valid even if the device reports fewer.
This is wrong, but it's no worse than what we're doing now (using the
garbage beyond the last reported valid byte).

The sequencer firmware file has both a string (currently showing
V17/10c6) and a number (currently set to 1.1).  It has become apparent
that Adaptec may issue sequencer firmware in the future which could be
incompatible with the current driver.  Therefore, the driver will be
tied to the particular major number of the firmware (i.e. the current
driver will load any 1.x firmware).  Additionally, the driver will print
out both the ascii string and the major number, so with this pach the
current firmware will print out

930e99bd13 [SCSI] tgt: fix the user/kernel ring buffer interface
This patches fixes two bugs in the scsi target infrastructure's
user/kernel interface.

- It wrongly assumes that the ring buffer size of the interface (64KB)
is larger than or equal to the system page size. This patch sets the
ring buffer size to PAGE_SIZE if the system page size is larger.

- It uses PAGE_SIZE in the header file exported to userspace. This
patch removes it.

8f3334edae [SCSI] sgiwd93: interfacing to wd33c93
1) sgiwd93 used to switch off asynchronous mode on the wd33c93, discarding
   any "nosync"-requests from the commandline.
   But we need to allow "nosync"-requests for selected devices, for example
   the Pioneer DVD305S.
   (For the curious: this device accepts the SDTR from wd33c93 and success-
   fully sends inquiry data in sync mode, but after the data phase in the
   inquiry command does an unexpected disconnect, seemingly sending no
   "status" or "command complete". Forcing async transfers makes it work
   together flawlessly with the wd33c93. Of course, preferable would be, to
   implement wd33c93's "resume command" stuff, but that probably will not
   come soon.)

2) Maximize benefit from the preceding Fast SCSI patch for wd33c93 by passing
   the higher input-clock frequency explicitely. To be applied after the
   mentioned wd33c93 patch.

a5d8421b2f [SCSI] wd33c93: Fast SCSI with WD33C93B
Attached are patches, which help to utilize more of the WD33C93B SCSI
controller's capabilities.

1) Added/changed all the necessary code to enable Burst Mode DMA. Only
   Single Byte DMA was used before.

2) Added/changed all the necessary code to enable Fast-10 SCSI transfers.

3) The original driver inadvertently used a transfer period of 1000-800ns
   (the lowest possible transfer rate) for asynchronous data transfers,
   instead of the (configurable) default period intended for this purpose,
   if the target responded to a SDTR not with a Reject-message, but with
   a zero-SDTR. This issue was fixed.
   Moreover, in case of a Reject the driver used the default-period's
   initialization-value instead of its (maybe smaller) current value. The
   missing assignment was added.

4) The driver's commandline- and proc-file-interface was augmented to
   handle the new options properly.

The WD33C93 manual, found at
http://www.datasheet.in/datasheet-html/W/D/3/WD33C93B_WesternDigital.pdf.html,
was very helpful.

5387373bfe sata_promise: new EH conversion for 20619 chips, take 2
This patch updates the sata_promise driver to use new-style
libata error handling for 20619 (TX4000) chips. sata_promise
already uses new EH for the other chips it supports, so the
patch is quite simple:

* remove ->phy_reset and ->eng_timeout ops from pdc_pata_ops,
  and instead bind ->freeze, ->thaw, ->error_handler, and
  ->post_internal_cmd to existing new EH functions
* drop ATA_FLAG_SRST from board_20619's flags
* remove now unused pdc_pata_phy_reset() and pdc_eng_timeout()

Tested on a TX4000 with both modern working disks and old/quirky
disks. Also used a CD-RW drive to test reading and writing CDs.

which may invoke the ACPI interpreter again to get access
to some ACPI variables such as temperature.  (acpi_evaluate_xxx)
On these HP machines such an evaluation changes state of an ASL variable
and lets the loop above break.

In the current ACPI implementation, Notify requests are being deferred
to the same kacpid workqueue on which the above GPE handler with
infinite loop is executing. Thus we have a deadlock -- loop will
continue to spin, sending notify events, and at the same time
preventing these notify events from being run on a workqueue. All
notify events are deferred, thus we see explosion in memory consumption.

Also as GPE handling is blocked, machines overheat because ACPI-based
fan control is stalled.  Eventually by external poll of the same
acpi_evaluate, kacpid is released and all the queued notify events are
free to run, thus 100% CPU utilization by kacpid for several seconds
or more.

To prevent this failure,  Linux must not send notify events to the
kacpid workqueue -- either executing them immediately or putting them
on some other thread.

The first attempt to create a new thread was done by Peter Wainwright
He created a bunch of threads, which were stealing work from a kacpid
workqueue.
This patch appeared in 2.6.15-based kernel shipped with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.

Second attempt was done by Alexey Starikovskiy, who created a new thread
for each Notify event. This worked OK on HP nx machines,
but broke Linus' Compaq n620c, by producing threads with a speed what
they stopped the machine completely.
Thus this patch was reverted from 2.6.18-rc2.

Alexey re-made the patch to create second workqueue just for notify events,
thus hopping it will not break Linus' machine. Patch was tested on the
same HP nx machines in #5534 and #7122, but this broke Linus' machine
also and was reverted from 2.6.19-rc with much fanfair.

The 4th patch inserted schedule_timeout(1) into deferred
execution of kacpid, if we had any notify requests pending, but Linus
decided that it was too complex (involved either changes to workqueue
to see if it's empty or atomic inc/dec).  Then a 5th attempt did a
yield() to every GPE execution.

Finally, this 6th generation patch simply executes the notify handler
on the stack.  Previous attempts to do this simple solution failed
because of issues in AML mutex re-entrancy which are now fixed
by the previous patch in this series.

c0d127b569 ACPICA: fix AML mutex re-entrancy
ACPI AML supports "serialized" methods which are protected
by an implicit mutex.  The mutex is re-entrant for that AML thread
to allow recursion.

However, Linux implements notify() by creating a new AML thread.
So for systems where notify() re-enters a serialized method,
deadlock results.

The fix is to use the Linux thread_id as the key to allowing
re-entrancy, not the AML thread pointer.

a5d79d1e4f [PATCH] bcm43xx: OFDM fix for rev 1 cards
Nearly all of the writes to the bcm43xx internal lookup tables (ilt)
involve 16-bit quantities. Accordingly, the ilt_write routine was
coded to pass a u16 value. For one early GPHY chip, 32-bit quantities
are needed. For those writes, the value was clipped to 16 bits. This
patch adds an ilt_write32 routine that receives a 32-bit quantity
and writes it to the appropriate locations.

740ac4fb08 [PATCH] bcm43xx: Fix for 4311 and 02/07/07 specification changes
The specifications for the bcm43xx driver have been modified. This
patch incorporates these changes in the code, which results in the
BCM4311 and BCM4312 working. The name of one of the PHY parameters,
previously known as "version", has been changed to "analog", short for
"analog core version" .

b5c4165164 [PATCH] prism54: correct assignment of DOT1XENABLE in WE-19 codepaths
Correct assignment of DOT1XENABLE in WE-19 codepaths.
RX_UNENCRYPTED_EAPOL = 1 really means setting DOT1XENABLE _off_, and
vice versa.  The original WE-19 patch erroneously reversed that.  This
patch fixes association with unencrypted and WEP networks when using
wpa_supplicant.

It also adds two missing break statements that, left out, could result
in incorrect card configuration.
