staging/android fixes
|
| |
Hi, Here is a patch to fix build for android specifics drivers. What we should do next to prevent them from being removed in 2.6.23 ? Is there any chance that all android stuff would be merged one day ? Actually, we got a working 2.6.32 kernel for android here (with wakelock, ashm, etc..): [link]... more »

trace_output: change struct trace_seq's size to PAGE_SIZE
|
| |
It's not very good that we allocate pages with page_order > 1. So we change struct trace_seq's size to PAGE_SIZE. Where we allocate a struct trace_seq: kernel/trace/trace.c:3720: s = kmalloc(sizeof(*s), GFP_KERNEL); kernel/trace/trace_events.c:53 9: s = kmalloc(sizeof(*s), GFP_KERNEL); kernel/trace/trace_events.c:58 0: s = kmalloc(sizeof(*s), GFP_KERNEL);... more »

I cannot find the "linux" definition in arm
|
| |
hi all, the s3c2410_defconfig cannot compile with the SEGMENT_SIZE is missing in the s/binfmt_aout.c. In the line 270 fs/binfmt_aout.c, the function will call a macro "N_DATADDR". The N_DATADDR is defined as the following, in the include/linux/a.out.h ------ ... (N_MAGIC(x)==OMAGIC? (_N_TXTENDADDR(x)) \... more »

FireWire fixes
|
| |
Linus, please pull from the for-linus branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/l inux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux 1394-2.6.git for-linus to receive fixes for two bugs which prevented FireWire audio drivers in userspace (FFADO) to run on the newer firewire kernel stack. This affects very specific functionality only (necessary for audio out)... more »

Backlight device class redesign

As discussed in [link] we need to redesign our backlight device class. If you wish you can read whole thread and even [link] but I'll try to summarize everything anyway. 1) One display can be controlled (I mean backlight) in more than one... more »

Problem? intel_iommu=off; perf top shows acpi_os_read_port as extremely busy
|
| |
Having given up for now on VT-D, I rebooted 2.6.38 rc8 with intel_iommu=off. Whilst my myriad of broken bios issues cleared, I now see in perf top acpi_os_read_port as continually the busiest function. With intel_iommu enabled, _spin_lock was always on top, and nothing else was notable. This seems odd to me, perhaps this will make sense to someone else.... more »

SECURITY: selinux, fix update_rlimit_cpu parameter
|
| |
...Don't pass rlim_cur member of RLIM_NLIMITS-1=RLIMIT_RTTIME limit to update_rlimit_cpu() in selinux_bprm_committing_creds. Use proper rlim[RLIMIT_CPU].rlim_cur instead.

S390: use helpers for rlimits
|
| |
Make sure compiler won't do weird things with limits. E.g. fetching them twice may return 2 different values after writable limits are implemented. I.e. either use newly added rlimit helpers or ACCESS_ONCE if not applicable. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jsl...@suse.cz> Cc: James Morris <jmor...@namei.org>... more »
