  To: Kernel Mailing List


A huge merging frenzy for the feature freeze, although I also spent a few
days getting rid of the need for ide-scsi.c and the SCSI layer to burn
CD-ROM's with the IDE driver (it still needs an update to cdrecord, I sent 
those off to the maintainer).

The most fundamental stuff is probably RCU and oprofile, but there's stuff 
all over the map here..

Linus Torvalds <torvalds@home.transmeta.com>:
  o Merge with DRI CVS tree
  o When opening a CD-ROM device with O_NONBLOCK (for setup and ioctl),
    we should allow read-write accesses - it's used for control, not
    data.
  o Fix type - it used to be "__u8 short", which previous versions
  o "tv_sec" is unsigned long
  o Make ide-cd handle a REQ_BLOCK_PC packet command completion
    properly (which is to say the same as REQ_PC).
  o Block layer ioctl cleanups
  o Remove unused variable warning
  o Remove ide-cd reliance on "struct packet_struct", make it use the
    native "struct request" fields instead.
  o Oops, fix over-eager search-and-replace

Maksim Krasnyanskiy <maxk@qualcomm.com>:
  o Fix typo in HCI_FILTER get/setsockopt
  o Increase BNEP thread priority
  o Now that the module name bluetooth.o is not used by USB subsystem
    anymore we can rename bluez.o to what it should have been from the
    begging  bluetoth.o

  o Get rid of the MIN() thing in Bluetooth code and use min_t()
    instead
  o Support for suspend/resume interface for the HCI devices

Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>:
  o oneliner race fix for ldt updates

Martin J. Bligh <Martin.Bligh@us.ibm.com>:
  o Summit: config options and hooks
  o Summit: infrastructure
  o Summit: APIC limits
  o Summit: MPS table detection
  o Summit: APIC ID mapping

Matthew Dharm <mdharm-usb@one-eyed-alien.net>:
  o Fix SCSI mode sense size
  o usb-storage: cache pipe values
  o usb-storage: generalize transfer functions
  o usb-storage: convert to common transfer functions
  o usb-storage: convert to common transfer functions

Nathan Scott <nathans@sgi.com>:
  o XFS: Sysctl updates
  o XFS: Global search and replace of the b* memory routines to their
    mem* equivalents
  o XFS: remove a no-longer-used conditional macro

Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com>:
  o [SPARC]: Fix build of timer routines

Peter Chubb <peter@chubb.wattle.id.au>:
  o Compile failure (gcc 2.96 bug?). 2.5.42 raid0.c

Romain Lievin <rlievin@free.fr>:
  o char driver: added tipar driver

Russell King <rmk@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>:
  o [SERIAL] Fix Sparc32/64 handling of CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE{,_CONSOLE}
    SPARC was unconditionally setting CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE to y
    and conditionally setting CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE depending on the Sparc
    sub-drivers.  In addition, the core serial driver for SPARC is
    always built, so we end up with link errors.
  o [ARM] Move TEXTADDR and DATAADDR out of vmlinux.lds.S These two
    variables are used by more than just the linker; they're also used
    by head.S to know where it can safely place the page tables.  We
    therefore need to export it from the Makefile.
  o [ARM] Allow CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM=y image to be relocated to RAM Since
    the decompressor supports PIC, even for CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM, we can
    easily allow an image which has been linked to run at a particular
    address in ROM to be moved to RAM.  We just need to make sure that
    we don't relocate the GOT entries for the BSS segment.
  o [ARM] Ensure deselected config variables are defined to 'n' To keep
    the Config.in files relatively clean, we use the following
    construct:
  o [ARM] Update timekeeping functions to use tick_nsec/1000 This
    updates the ARM time keeping functions to use tick_nsec/1000
    instead of tick.
  o [ARM] Update pcibios_enable_device, supply pci_mmap_page_range()
    Update pcibios_enable_device to only enable requested resources,
    mainly for IDE.  Supply a pci_mmap_page_range() function to allow
    user space to mmap PCI regions.
  o [ARM] Update for signal handling changes
  o [ARM] Update RiscPC decompressor for PIC changes This cset fixes
    the RiscPC decompressor code for the PIC changes.
  o [ARM] Optimise ARM TLB handling Sanitise includes of
    asm/tlbflush.h, asm/cacheflush.h, asm/proc-fns.h Implement
    ARM-specific TLB "shootdown" code.  It turns out that it is overall
    more efficient to unconditionally invalidate the whole TLB rather
    than entry by entry when removing areas.
  o [ARM] Update neponset/sa1111 for Linux device model updates
  o [ARM] Other updates for changes in 2.5.42 This adds ARM support for
    in_atomic() and asm/numnodes.h
  o [ARM] IDE updates
  o [ARM] Fix iop310-pci compilation errors
  o [ARM] Remove second serial port address
  o [ARM] cpufreq updates for ARM This updates the Integrator cpufreq
    code to use the new interfaces, and makes the sa1100 cpufreq round
    up the requested frequency.
  o Convert acorn expansion card probing code to the Linux device model
  o [ARM] Update Acorn ethernet expansion cards This cset implements
    validity checks on the ethernet MAC address when the device is
    opened, and refuses to open the device if this check fails.  We
    also provide the set_mac_address method to allow ifconfig to change
    the mac address to something valid.
  o [ARM] Acorn serial port driver update This cset combines the
    Atomwide and The Serial Port 16550 driver modules into one
    "8250_acorn.c" driver.  This new module takes full advantage of the
    LDM-based expansion card facilities.
  o [ARM] Remove old Acorn iomd-based keyboard and mouse drivers
  o [ARM] Fix up NCR5380-based Acorn SCSI drivers This cset updates (as
    much as is possible) the NCR5380-based Acorn SCSI drivers, mainly
    converting them to the new error handling code.
  o [ARM] Rudimentary support for Thumb ptracing
  o [ARM] dump_stack and show_trace_task dump_stack() got used by the
    generic code.  Call our version __dump_stack since we're running
    out of other descriptive names.
  o [ARM] Remove non-existent USB gadget code from mach-sa1100/Makefile
    The USB gadget code now lives in arch/arm/mach-sa1100/usb, and
    isn't in a mergable state.  We remove the old makefile entries
    which are never going to be satisfied, and leave a placeholder for
    the usb directory.
  o [ARM] Convert boot-time memory permission selection to table
  o [ARM] Update fd1772.c Remove unnecessary use of __inline__, and
    remove a few unnecessary prototypes.  copy_buffer is moved before
    use.
  o [ARM] Fix fas216 use of __FUNCTION__ macro
  o [ARM] Update acorn scsi code wrt global irq and bitops This cset
    removes the global irq handling in the AcornSCSI driver, and makes
    the target type for bitops an unsigned long array rather than an
    unsigned char array.
  o [ARM] Fix entry-armv.S Prevent the assembler putting constant pools
    in the middle of code.
  o [ARM] Update ARM cache type decoding
  o [ARM ADFS] C99 designated initialisers (Patch from Art Haas) Here's
    a small set of patches that switch the code to use C99 desiginated
    initializers. Patches are against 2.5.42.
  o [ARM] Convert sa1100 PCMCIA drivers to C99 initializers (Art Haas)
    The patches convert drivers/pcmcia to use C99 named initializers,
    and all the patches are against 2.5.42. There are 25 patches in
    total, and the "cat"ing them together they're more that 20K, so I'm
    sending the patches as a compressed attachment. The patches were
    CC'd to Linus in the first mail that bounced.
  o [ARM] Make the assabet machine always use the same uart mapping
  o [ARM] Add Xscale ADIFCC and IOP310 documentation
  o [ARM] Update sa1100 PCMCIA support We removed asm/mach-types.h from
    asm/hardware.h.  This means we must now include asm/mach-types.h
    where its used.
  o [ARM] Update acornfb driver to 2.5.42 fbcon
  o [ARM] Update clps711x fbcon driver
  o [ARM] Update cyber2000fb for 2.5 fbcon
  o [ARM] Update AFS mtd partition parsing
  o [ARM] Update integrator-flash.c from MTD CVS Keep the partition
    information around for the lifetime of the module.
  o [MTD] Update 2.5 MTD code from MTD CVS and ARM tree This cset
    updates the 2.5 MTD code from the MTD CVS.  David Woodhouse is
    happy with me sending this.
