Subject: Linux v2.5.46


Ok, our dear master.kernel.org seems to be back from the dead, which means
that I can punish it some more and upload stuff to it again.

2.5.46 merges some more stuff (yeah, I still have stuff in my mailbox, but
I'm calmer now that I don't forsee any more huge issues), and is pretty
much all over the map. Merges with Alan, Al and Andrew, and m68k stuff
from Geert. Sysfs from Pat, and ext2/3 updates from Ted.

Linus

Russell King <[email protected]>:
o [ARM] Fix init section naming 2.5.44 changed .text.init to
.init.text (and other similar section names). This cset fixes the
ARM parts to work with the new names.
o [ARM] Fix ARM IRQ probe code
o [ARM] Fix another usage of the now defunct 'tick'
o [ARM] Add kallsyms support for ARM This cset adds support for
kallsyms for the ARM kernel, and ensures that we have a reliable
function prolog for backtracing.
o [ARM] Only decend into mach-* if $(MACHINE) is defined
o [ARM] Fix up some ARM PCI handling
o [ARM] Make ARMv5 architecture select ARMv4 rather than ARMv3 IO
o [ARM] Miscellaneous fixes
o [ARM] Re-work L1 pagetable bit handling
o [ARM] Replace __backtrace() with dump_stack()
o [ARM] 2.5.45 updates
o [SERIAL] Rename uart_event() to uart_write_wakeup() uart_event()
only has one purpose, which is to wake up any pending writers via
the line discipline. Rename it to reflect its real functionality,
and drop EVT_WRITE_WAKEUP.
o [SERIAL] Remove struct pci_board from init_fn Traditionally, we
allocated the private array of port parameters based on the
detected board->num_ports, and then called the init_fn with the
board pointer (which points into the global table.) Some init_fn
implementations modify num_ports, which therefore affects the
global table. Unfortunately, this means that if the init_fn
increases num_ports (because we have two almost identical cards,
the first with a smaller number of ports than the second), we will
overwrite memory which hasn't been allocated to us.
o [SERIAL] Fix two incorrect uses of __FUNCTION__
o [SERIAL] Fix up 8250 IRQ chain handling
o [SERIAL] Fix up formatting of serial names The tty layer's tty_name
requires formatting codes in driver->name for the devfs and
non-devfs cases.
o [SERIAL] Make ALPHA_KLUDGE_MCR more generic for bluetooth modems,
etc In addition to the Alpha OUT1/OUT2 kludge, devices like
Bluetooth modems connected to serial ports make use of the modem
control lines in non-standard ways. Therefore, we implement a more
flexible way to allow the modem control outputs to be forced to
particular values irrespective of the normal usage of these
signals.
o [SERIAL] Tidy up 8250 port type detection The original port
detection code was one large function with many tests without any
clear structure.
o [SERIAL] Fix build errors and warnings
o [SERIAL] Set port->type to unknown only when using autoconfig
o [SERIAL] [PARISC] add support for GSC serial Add discovery for
PA-RISC 16550 serial ports.
o [ARM] Fix various build errors in bk-cur
o [ARM PATCH] 1300/1: more efficient irq number retrieval for PXA due
to ARMv5 instructions
o [ARM PATCH] 1301/1: detection of more XScale chips Adds detection
of:
o [ARM PATCH] 1312/1: BadgePAD 4 mach-sa1100 update
o [ARM PATCH] 1310/1: Make SA-1100 IR compile
o [ARM PATCH] 1298/1: display various PXA250 clocks on boot for
better bug diagnosis Since it's easy to overclock that chip we'd
better know why some board is crashing randomly due to signal
integrity problems.
o [ARM PATCH] 1299/1: display various PXA250 clocks (part 2) Patch
#1298/1 will be much more useful if the code is actually called.

Sam Ravnborg <[email protected]>:
o kbuild: Compatible with old bash, fix help, make clean fix

o Ext2/3 forward compatibility: on-line resizing
o Ext2/3 forward compatibility: inode size
o Port of the 0.8.50 xattr-mbcache patch to 2.5. (Shrinker API, hch
cleanups) (now uses struct block_device * to index devices, and
uses hash.h for hash function)
o Port of (bugfixed) 0.8.50 xattr-ext3 to 2.5 (w/ hch cleanups.

Netfilter compilation fails:

Fortunately, reconfiguring the kernel halfway the compilation
(turn of TCP MSS netfilter options) and resuming the compile
actually works.

Alternatively, use this patch. (It's not really needed to force people to
upgrade binutils when ld can do the job, as it e.g. does in
arch/i386/boot/compressed/Makefile already).

Use ld to link the cpio archive into the image, build was broken
due to requiring a recent version of objcopy before, plus assorted
cleanups:

o Don't include arch/$(ARCH)/Makefile, export the needed arch-specific
flags instead.
o Name the generated section consistently .init.ramfs everywhere.

I get errors with your patch. I had to remove the 'cd $(obj)' above
from usr/Makefile.

His patch is intended to negate the need for a recent binutils. I
already have binutils 2.13 and had no trouble building. But with his
patch that I assume Linus will apply, it errors out no matter which
binutils you have.

Does not work for me at all on sparc64, it complains that *.gz has an
unknown file format.

Why not just hexdump the thing into an array of char foo.c file,
then compile that.

I suppose that's because sparc64 doesn't properly define LDFLAGS_BLOB (nor
did it define ARCHBLOBFLAGS, which is replaced by the former now). Look
at arch/i386/Makefile::LDFLAGS_BLOB and adapt accordingly ;)

Well, I wouldn't think there's any toolchain which doesn't support the
current way when given the right flags, so that looks faster and cleaner
to me.

Right, I shouldn't do these last minute changes without re-testing...

Will send a follow-up patch.

Precisely, I have it working now. Thanks!

Especially since we expect the array to be potentially megabytes in the
end (especially if somebody wants to make a bootable CD using this), and
at least traditional gcc's would do horrible O(n^2) things with big
initialized arrays.

Much better to just tell the tools it is a blob.

Newer gcc is much saner, but there are other ways to do it - gas is
quite happy to chew a 10Mb .byte file 8)

Just an fyi, the procps changes to support this new feature are now in
CVS.

CVS information, as well as CVS snapshots with the support, are
available from: http://tech9.net/rml/procps/

Note old procps packages will still work as the old wchan field is still
exported in stat.

Large machines using ps or top with the WCHAN field should see a
difference. Also, procps no longer requires System.map.

Next driver to port to the new api. I did it some time ago. It will be in
