sata_mv: Fix broken Marvell 7042 support.

sata_mv:  Fix broken Marvell 7042 support.

The Marvell 7042 chip is more or less the same as the 6042 internally,
but sports a PCIe bus.  Despite having identical SATA cores, the 7042
does differ from its PCI bus counterparts in placment and layout of
certain bus related registers.

This patch fixes sata_mv to distinguish between the PCI bus registers
of earlier chips, and the PCIe bus registers of the 7042.

Specifically, move the offsets and bit patterns for the
PCI/PCIe interrupt cause/mask registers into the struct mv_host_priv,
as these values differ between the 6xxx and 7xxx series chips.

This fixes the driver to not access reserved PCI addresses,
and prevents the lockups reported in linux-2.6.24 with 7042 boards.

Also add a new PCI ID for the Highpoint 2300 7042-based board
that I'm using for testing this stuff here.

Tested with Marvell 6081 + 7042 chips, on x86 & x86_64.

Christoph Hellwig objects to this patch on the grounds that modules
shouldn't be using these operations anyway.  I don't think this is a
particularly good reason to reject the patch, for several reasons:

1. These operations are still available to modules when not using
   CONFIG_PARAVIRT, since they are implicitly exported as inline
   functions via the kernel headers.  Exporting the same functionality as
   GPL-only symbols just adds a gratuitious difference between
   CONFIG_PARAVIRT and non-CONFIG_PARAVIRT configurations.  If we really
   think these operations are not for module use (or non-GPL module use),
   then we should solve the problem in a general way.

2. It's a regression from previous kernels, which would work these
   modules even with CONFIG_PARAVIRT enabled.

3. The operations in question seem pretty reasonable for modules to
   use.  The control registers/MSRs can be accessed directly anyway, so there's
   no benefit in preventing modules from using standard interfaces.  And it seems
   reasonable to allow a graphics driver to create its own mappings if it wants.

Therefore, I think this patch should go in for 2.6.24.  If people
really think that these operations should not be available to modules,
then we can address that separately.

The pointers to per cpu data are typically not initialized for processors

 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

The box has no HiSax card installed.

the reason for the crash is add_timer() done on an already running
timer. This happens because for some reason CARD_INIT is called twice.

this patch works this problem around by using mod_timer() - this gets
a booting system - but it would be nice to figure out why CARD_INIT
is done twice.

17 years agofile capabilities: don't prevent signaling setuid root programs
Serge E. Hallyn [Thu, 29 Nov 2007 00:21:47 +0000 (16:21 -0800)]
file capabilities: don't prevent signaling setuid root programs

An unprivileged process must be able to kill a setuid root program started
by the same user.  This is legacy behavior needed for instance for xinit to
kill X when the window manager exits.

When an unprivileged user runs a setuid root program in !SECURE_NOROOT
mode, fP, fI, and fE are set full on, so pP' and pE' are full on.  Then
cap_task_kill() prevents the user from signaling the setuid root task.
This is a change in behavior compared to when
!CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES.

This patch introduces a special check into cap_task_kill() just to check
whether a non-root user is signaling a setuid root program started by the
same user.  If so, then signal is allowed.

In fact, on most platforms memcpy and RAID aren't factors, and DMA

atmel_lcdfb: LCDC startup fix

This patch adds an additional loop, that delays turning off the DMA
until the LCDC core has been turned off. This prevents the picture
to be shifted some random length when the kernel re-initializes
the LCDC.

Without this patch, the LCDC keeps running for some small time after the
PWRCON:LCD_PWR has been cleared ; the FIFO suffers an underrun and on
re-starting the LCDC the FIFO data stays shifted.

This behavior has been seen and fixed on AT91SAM9261-EK and two custom
AT91SAM9261 boards, all of them having different LCD panels.

The namespaces compatibility list doc

People discuss how the namespaces are working/going-to-work together.

Ted Ts'o proposed to create some document that describes what problems user
may have when he/she creates some new namespace, but keeps others shared.
I liked this idea, so here's the initial version of such a document with
the problems I currently have in mind and can describe somewhat audibly -
the "namespaces compatibility list".

The Documentation/namespaces/ directory is about to contain more docs about
the namespaces stuff.

Thanks to Cedirc for notes and spell checks on the doc, to Daniel for
additional info about IPC and User namespaces interaction and to Randy, who
alluded me to using a spell checker before sending the documentation :)
