[PATCH] hid-core: Zero-pad truncated reports
When it detects a truncated report, hid-core emits a warning and then
processes the report as usual. This is good because it allows buggy
devices to still get data thru to userspace. However, the missing bytes of
the report should be cleared before processing, otherwise userspace will be
handed partially-uninitialized data.
This fixes Debian tracker bug #330487.

[PATCH] fbdev: fix switch to KD_TEXT, enhanced version
Every framebuffer driver relies on the assumption that the set_par()
function of the driver is called before drawing functions and other
functions dependent on the hardware state are executed.
Whenever you switch from X to a framebuffer console for the very first
time, there is a chance that a broken X system has _not_ set the mode to
KD_GRAPHICS, thus the vt and framebuffer code executes a screen redraw and
several other functions before a set_par() is executed. This is believed
to be not a bug of linux but a bug of X/xdm. At least some X releases used
by SuSE and Debian show this behaviour.
There was a 2nd case, but that has been fixed by Antonino Daplas on
10-dec-2005.
This patch allows drivers to set a flag to inform fbcon_switch() that they
prefer a set_par() call on every console switch, working around the
problems caused by the broken X releases.
The flag will be used by the next release of cyblafb and might help other
drivers that assume a hardware state different to the one used by X.
As the default behaviour does not change, this patch should be acceptable
to everybody.

Only netbooting after a cold start provides the correct MAC address

[PATCH] fix in __alloc_bootmem_core() when there is no free page in first node's memory
Hitting BUG_ON() in __alloc_bootmem_core() when there is no free page
available in the first node's memory. For the case of kdump on PPC64
(Power 4 machine), the captured kernel is used two memory regions - memory
for TCE tables (tce-base and tce-size at top of RAM and reserved) and
captured kernel memory region (crashk_base and crashk_size). Since we
reserve the memory for the first node, we should be returning from
__alloc_bootmem_core() to search for the next node (pg_dat).
Currently, find_next_zero_bit() is returning the n^th bit (eidx) when there
is no free page. Then, test_bit() is failed since we set 0xff only for the
actual size initially (init_bootmem_core()) even though rounded up to one
page for bdata->node_bootmem_map. We are hitting the BUG_ON after failing

[PATCH] Fix listxattr() for generic security attributes
Commit
f549d6c18c0e8e6cf1bf0e7a47acc1daf7e2cec1 introduced a generic
fallback for security xattrs, but appears to include a subtle bug.
Gentoo users with kernels with selinux compiled in, and coreutils compiled
with acl support, noticed that they could not copy files on tmpfs using
'cp'.
cp (compiled with acl support) copies the file, lists the extended
attributes on the old file, copies them all to the new file, and then
exits. However the listxattr() calls were failing with this odd behaviour:
llistxattr("a.out", (nil), 0) = 17
llistxattr("a.out", 0x7fffff8c6cb0, 17) = -1 ERANGE (Numerical result out of
range)
I believe this is a simple problem in the logic used to check the buffer
sizes; if the user sends a buffer the exact size of the data, then its ok
:)
This change solves the problem.

[IA64] Define an ia64 version of __raw_read_trylock
IA64 is using the generic version of __raw_read_trylock, which always
waits for the lock to be free instead of returning when the lock is in
use. Define an ia64 version of __raw_read_trylock which behaves
correctly, and drop the generic one.

Allow arbitrary read-only shared pfn-remapping too
The VM layer (for historical reasons) turns a read-only shared mmap into
a private-like mapping with the VM_MAYWRITE bit clear. Thus checking
just VM_SHARED isn't actually sufficient.
So use a trivial helper function for the cases where we wanted to inquire
if a mapping was COW-like or not.
Moo!

Remove (at least temporarily) the "incomplete PFN mapping" support
With the previous commit, we can handle arbitrary shared re-mappings
even without this complexity, and since the only known private mappings
are for strange users of /dev/mem (which never create an incomplete one),
there seems to be no reason to support it.

Allow arbitrary shared PFNMAP's
A shared mapping doesn't cause COW-pages, so we don't need to worry
about the whole vm_pgoff logic to decide if a PFN-remapped page has
gone through COW or not.
This makes it possible to entirely avoid the special "partial remapping"
logic for the common case.

[PATCH] ppc32: set smp_tb_synchronized on UP with SMP kernel
ppc32 kernel, when built with CONFIG_SMP and booted on a single CPU
machine, will not properly set smp_tb_synchronized, thus causing
gettimeofday() to not use the HW timebase and to be limited to jiffy

[ARM] 3200/1: Singlestep over ARM BX and BLX instructions using ptrace fix
Patch from Nikola Valerjev
Single stepping an application using ptrace() fails over ARM instructions BX and BLX.
Steps to reproduce:
Compile and link the following files
main.c
-----
void foo();
int main() {
foo();
return 0;
}
foo.s
-----
.text
.globl foo
foo:
BX LR
Using ptrace() functionality, run to main(), and start singlestepping.
Singlestep over \"BX LR\" instruction won\'t transfer the control back
to main, but run the code to completion.
This problems seems to be in the function get_branch_address() in
arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c. The function doesn\'t seem to recognize BX
and BLX instructions as branches. BX and BLX instructions can be used
to convert from ARM to Thumb mode if the target address has the low
bit set. However, they are also perfectly legal in the ARM only mode.
Although other things in the kernel seem to indicate that only ARM
mode is accepted (and not Thumb), many compilers will generate BX
and BLX instructions even when generating ARM only code.

[PATCH] powerpc: Fix SLB flushing path in hugepage
On ppc64, when opening a new hugepage region, we need to make sure any
old normal-page SLBs for the area are flushed on all CPUs. There was
a bug in this logic - after putting the new hugepage area masks into
the thread structure, we copied it into the paca (read by the SLB miss
handler) only on one CPU, not on all. This could cause incorrect SLB
entries to be loaded when a multithreaded program was running
simultaneously on several CPUs. This patch corrects the error,
copying the context information into the PACA on all CPUs using the mm
in question before flushing any existing SLB entries.

[PATCH] powerpc: Add missing icache flushes for hugepages
On most powerpc CPUs, the dcache and icache are not coherent so
between writing and executing a page, the caches must be flushed.
Userspace programs assume pages given to them by the kernel are icache
clean, so we must do this flush between the kernel clearing a page and
it being mapped into userspace for execute. We were not doing this
for hugepages, this patch corrects the situation.
We use the same lazy mechanism as we use for normal pages, delaying
the flush until userspace actually attempts to execute from the page
in question.
Tested on G5.
