- Split old freq field into a tv_freq and a radio_freq. Prevents
that a radio tuner is initialized with a tv frequency or vice versa.
- When switching to radio mode initialize the tuner with the last
used radio frequency (this was already done for the TV mode).

- Use new flag to check if the order of the CB and freq. depends on
the last set frequency. That is needed for some tuners or you can

[PATCH] gx1fb: (try to) play nicer with various BIOSes
Seems that the CS5530A chip used in Geode GX1 systems has some crazy feature
that causes SMI traps when accessing the PCI configuration space of the video
device. Various GX1 BIOSes seem to use this 'feature' to hide the real BARs
of the device. This patch disables these traps (in an early PCI fixup) so
that Linux sees the real, physical BARs and not the virtual ones provided by
the BIOS.
This should allow the GX1 framebuffer driver to work on more systems that have
different BIOSes as the driver no longer guesses at what the virtual BARs
mean.
I'm not entirely sure it the correct solution as I can neither test regular
VGA console nor the X's 'cyrix' video driver so there might be some breakage
there -- probably best to get some more testers before applying it.

On a Dell Latitude CPi-A I noticed a strangeness wrt. the handling of an

A cold boot would result in the BIOS configuring the video chip to use the
"external monitor only" mode, yet neofb would default to "internal LCD only".
An attempt for a quick fix by using the Fn-F8 keystroke to toggle the display
combination modes resulted in a reproductible hard lock, powering down being
the only solution.
The attached patch makes neofb probe the register for the current display
mode, using that value as a default if nothing was specified as kernel/module
parameter.

[PATCH] dell_rbu: fix Bug 5854
This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5854
Root cause:
The dell_rbu driver creates entries in /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/ by
calling request_firmware_nowait (without hotplug ) this function inturn
starts a kernel thread which creates the entries in
/sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading , data and the thread waits on the
user action to return control back to the callback fucntion of dell_rbu.
The thread calls wait_on_completion which puts it in a D state until the
user action happens. If there is no user action happening the load average
goes up as the thread D state is taken in to account. Also after
downloading the BIOS image the enrties go away momentarily but they are
recreated from the callback function in dell_rbu. This causes the thread
to get recreated causing the load average to permenently stay around 1.
Fix:
The dell_rbu also creates the entry
/sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type at driver load time. The image
type by default is mono if required the user can echo packet to image_type
to make the BIOS update mechanism using packets. Also by echoing init in
to image_type the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu entries can be created.
The driver code was changed to not create /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu
entries during load time, and also to not create the above entries from the
callback function. The entries are only created by echoing init to
/sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type The user now needs to create the
entries to download the image monolithic or packet. This fixes the issue
since the kernel thread only is created when ever the user is ready to
download the BIOS image; this minimizes the life span of the kernel thread
and the load average goes back to normal.

The fix seems easy enough - move the cpuset semaphore region outside the

This required a few lines of mechanism to implement. The oom code where
the locking needs to be changed does not have access to the cpuset locks,
which are internal to kernel/cpuset.c only. So I provided a couple more

simple take and drop the lock needed here (cpusets callback_sem).

[PATCH] Watchdog: Winsystems EPX-C3 SBC
This is a 2.6 patch that adds support for the watchdog timer built into the
EPX-C3 single board computer manufactured by Winsystems, Inc.
Driver details:
This is for x86 only. This watchdog is pretty basic and simple. It is
only configurable via jumpers on the SBC, and it only has either a 1.5s or
200s interval. The watchdog can either be auto-configured to start as soon
as the machine powers up (bad idea for the 1.5s interval!) or it can be
enabled and disabled by writing to io port 0x1ee. Petting the watchdog
involves writing any value to io port 0x1ef.
The only unfortunate thing about this watchdog (and it is not at all
uncommmon in watchdogs that linux supports) is that it is not a PCI or
ISA-PNP device and as such it isn't at all probeable. Either the watchdog
exists as 2 bytes at 0x1ee, or it doesn't. Thus, using this driver on a
machine that doesn't have that watchdog can potentially hang/crash the
system, etc. So only use this driver if you in fact are on a Winsystems
EPX-C3 SBC.
Anyway this driver fits into the already-existing watchdog framework quite
nicely and I already tested it on my EPX-C3 and it works like a charm.

- This contains the arch specific changes for the following the
kdump generic fixes which were already accepted in the upstream.
. Capturing CPU registers (for the case of 'panic' and invoking
the dump using 'sysrq-trigger') from a function (stack frame) which will
be not be available during the kdump boot. Hence, might result in
invalid stack trace.
. Dynamically allocating per cpu ELF notes section instead of
statically for NR_CPUS.
- Fix the compiler warning in prom_init.c.

[PATCH] Fix double decrement of mqueue_mnt->mnt_count in sys_mq_open
Fixed the refcounting on failure exits in sys_mq_open() and
cleaned the logics up. Rules are actually pretty simple - dentry_open()
expects vfsmount and dentry to be pinned down and it either transfers
them into created struct file or drops them. Old code had been very
confused in that area - if dentry_open() had failed either in do_open()
or do_create(), we ended up dentry and mqueue_mnt dropped twice, once
by dentry_open() cleanup and then by sys_mq_open().
Fix consists of making the rules for do_create() and do_open()
same as for dentry_open() and updating the sys_mq_open() accordingly;
that actually leads to more straightforward code and less work on
normal path.

[ARM] 3262/4: allow ptraced syscalls to be overriden
Patch from Nicolas Pitre
This is needed by strace to properly handle the tracing of some system
calls. It could be useful for other applications as well.
Based on an earlier patch from Daniel Jacobowitz.

[PATCH] ufs cleanup
Here is update of ufs cleanup patch, brought on by the recently fixed
ubh_get_usb_second() bug that made some ugly code rather painfully
obvious. It also includes
- fix compilation warnings which appears if debug mode turn on
- remove unnecessary duplication of code to support UFS2
