This fix has also been applied to lgdt330x. There is an optimization that
keeps track of the frequency tuned by the digital decoder. The digital driver
does not set the frequency if it has not changed since it was tuned. The
analog tuner driver knows nothing about the frequency saved by the digital
driver. When the frequency is set using the video4linux code with tvtime, the
hardware get changed but the digital driver's state does not get updated.
Switch back to the same digital channel and the driver finds no change in
frequency so the tuner is not reset to the digital frequency. The work around
is to remove the check and always set the tuner to the specified frequency.

I have a system (Biostar IDEQ210M mini-pc with a VIA chipset) which will
not reboot unless a keyboard is plugged in to it. I have tried all
combinations of the kernel "reboot=x,y" flags to no avail. Rebooting by
any method will leave the system in a wedged state (at the "Restarting
system" message).
I finally tracked the problem down to the machine's refusal to fully reboot
unless the keyboard controller status register had bit 2 set. This is the
"System flag" which when set, indicates successful completion of the
keyboard controller self-test (Basic Assurance Test, BAT).
I suppose that something is trying to protect against sporadic reboots
unless the keyboard controller is in a good state (a keyboard is present),
but I need this machine to be headless.
I found that setting the system flag (via the command byte) before giving
the "pulse reset line" command will allow the reboot to proceed. The patch
is simple, and I think it should be fine for everybody whether they have
this type of machine or not. This affects the "hard" reboot (as done when
the kernel boot flags "reboot=c,h" are used).

A B

Now, C can have current->signal->tty pointing to a freed tty structure, as

[PATCH] pty_chars_in_buffer oops fix
The idea of this patch is to lock both sides of a ptmx/pty pair during line
discipline changing. This is needed to ensure that say a poll on one side of
the pty doesn't occur while the line discipline is actively being changed.
This resulted in an oops reported on lkml, see:
A 'hacky' approach was previously implmemented which served to eliminate the
poll vs. line discipline changing race. However, this patch takes a more
general approach to the issue. The patch only adds locking on a less often
used path, the line-discipline changing path, as opposed to locking the
ptmx/pty pair on read/write/poll paths.
The patch below, takes both ldisc locks in either order b/c the locks are both
taken under the same spinlock(). I thought about locking the ptmx/pty
separately, such as master always first but that introduces a 3 way deadlock.
For example, process 1 does a blocking read on the slave side. Then, process
2 does an ldisc change on the slave side, which acquires the master ldisc lock
but not the slave's. Finally, process 3 does a write which blocks on the
process 2's ldisc reference.
This patch does introduce some changes in semantics. For example, a line
discipline change on side 'a' of a ptmx/pty pair, will now wait for a
read/write to complete on the other side, or side 'b'. The current behavior
is to simply wait for any read/writes on only side 'a', not both sides 'a' and
'b'. I think this behavior makes sense, but I wanted to point it out.
I've tested the patch with a bunch of read/write/poll while changing the line
discipline out from underneath.
This patch obviates the need for the above "hide the problem" patch.

[PATCH] alpha: process_reloc_for_got confuses r_offset and r_addend
arch/alpha/kernel/module.c:process_reloc_for_got(), which figures out how big
the .got section for a module should be, appears to be confusing r_offset (the
file offset that the relocation needs to be applied to) with r_addend (the
offset of the relocation's actual target address from the address of the
relocation's symbol). Because of this, one .got entry is allocated for each
relocation instead of one each unique symbol/addend.
In the module I am working with, this causes the .got section to be almost 10
times larger than it needs to be (75544 bytes instead of 7608 bytes). As the
.got is accessed with global-pointer-relative instructions, it needs to be
within the 64k gp "zone", and a 75544 byte .got clearly does not fit. The
result of this is that relocation overflows are detected during module load
and the load is aborted.
Change struct got_entry/process_reloc_for_got to fix this.

As there is no underlying storage of security xattrs in this case, it is
not necessary for the hook to return the (name, value, len) triple to the
tmpfs code, so this patch also modifies the SELinux hook function to
correctly handle the case where the (name, value, len) pointers are NULL.
The hook call is needed in tmpfs in order to support proper security
labeling of tmpfs inodes (e.g. for udev with tmpfs /dev in Fedora). With
this change in place, we should then be able to remove the

The following patch set enables atomic security labeling of newly created
inodes by altering the fs code to invoke a new LSM hook to obtain the security
attribute to apply to a newly created inode and to set up the incore inode
security state during the inode creation transaction. This parallels the
existing processing for setting ACLs on newly created inodes. Otherwise, it
is possible for new inodes to be accessed by another thread via the dcache
prior to complete security setup (presently handled by the
post_create/mkdir/... LSM hooks in the VFS) and a newly created inode may be
left unlabeled on the disk in the event of a crash. SELinux presently works
around the issue by ensuring that the incore inode security label is
initialized to a special SID that is inaccessible to unprivileged processes
(in accordance with policy), thereby preventing inappropriate access but
potentially causing false denials on legitimate accesses. A simple test
program demonstrates such false denials on SELinux, and the patch solves the
problem. Similar such false denials have been encountered in real
applications.
This patch defines a new inode_init_security LSM hook to obtain the security
attribute to apply to a newly created inode and to set up the incore inode
security state for it, and adds a corresponding hook function implementation
to SELinux.

During earlier discussion in the 2.6.13 merge plan thread, Christoph
Hellwig indicated that other file systems might also find this useful.
IMHO, the best solution would be to just allow ->drop_inode() to do the
cluster query but it seems that would require a substantial reworking of
that section of the code. Assuming it is safe to call write_inode_now() in
ocfs2_delete_inode() for those inodes which won't actually get wiped, this
solution should get us by for now.
Trivial testing of this patch (and a related OCFS2 update) has shown this
to avoid the corruption I'm seeing.

[PATCH] x86: MP_processor_info fix
Remove the weird and apparently unnecessary logic in MP_processor_info() which
assumes that the BSP is the first one to run MP_processor_info(). On one of
my boxes that isn't true and cpu_possible_map gets the wrong value.

This makes ACPI_BLACKLIST_YEAR be consistently defined when ACPI is
enabled, regardless of whether we're on x86 or not, and thus avoids
bogus -Wundef warnings on ia64.
Removed gratuitous includes of asm/serial.h in synklinkmp and ip2main.
Allows to remove the rest of "broken on sparc32" in drivers/char - this
stuff doesn't break the build anymore. Since it got zero testing, it almost
certainly won't work there, though...
