# cat /devcg/devices.list
a *:* rwm
# echo a > devices.allow
# cat /devcg/devices.list
a *:* rwm
a 0:0 rwm
This is odd and maybe confusing. With this patch, writing 'a' to
devices.allow will add 'a *:* rwm' to the whitelist.
Also a few fixes and updates to the document.

The CaFe chip has a hardware bug that ends up with us getting a timeout
value that's too small, causing the following sorts of problems:
[ 60.525138] mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data
[ 60.531477] end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 1484353
[ 60.533371] Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0p2, logical block 181632
[ 60.533371] lost page write due to I/O error on mmcblk0p2
Presumably this is an off-by-one error in the hardware. Incrementing
the timeout count value that we stuff into the TIMEOUT_CONTROL register
gets us a value that works. This bug was originally discovered by
Pierre Ossman, I believe.

This has been sitting around unloved for way too long..
The Marvell CaFe chip's SD implementation chokes during card insertion
if one attempts to set the voltage and power up in the same
SDHCI_POWER_CONTROL register write. This adds a quirk that does
that particular dance in two steps.
It also adds an entry to pci_ids.h for the CaFe chip's SD device.

This patch changes the way we determine the maximum number of outstanding
commands for each controller.
Most Smart Array controllers can support up to 1024 commands, the notable
exceptions are the E200 and E200i.
The next generation of controllers which were just added support a mode of
operation called Zero Memory Raid (ZMR). In this mode they only support
64 outstanding commands. In Full Function Raid (FFR) mode they support
1024.
We have been setting the queue depth by arbitrarily assigning some value
for each controller. We needed a better way to set the queue depth to
avoid lots of annoying "fifo full" messages. So we made the driver a
little smarter. We now read the config table and subtract 4 from the
returned value. The -4 is to allow some room for ioctl calls which are
not tracked the same way as io commands are tracked.
Please consider this for inclusion.

The build of the Alpha Linux kernel currently fails[1] with inconsistent
kallsyms data. As I never saw that before, I thought about hardware
problems. But in fact it is a bug in the Linux kernel.
The end of the rodata section is marked with the "__end_rodata" symbol.
This symbol have different aligning constraints than the inittext parts
and therefor the start marked "_sinittext". Because of that the
__end_rodata symbol shifts between < _sinittext and == _sinittext. The
later variant is seen as a code symbol and recorded in the kallsyms data.
On fix would be to move the exception table a little bit and get some
space between that two areas.

This got broken by the recent "fix rmmod $spi_driver while spidev-user is
active". I tested the rmmod & write path but didn't check the read path.
I am sorry. The read logic changed and spidev_sync_read() +
spidev_sync_write() do not return zero on success anymore but the number
of bytes that has been transfered over the bus. This patch changes the
logic and copy_to_user() gets called again.
The write path returns the number of bytes which are written to the
underlying device what may be less than the requested size. This patch
makes the same change to the read path or else we request a read of 20
bytes, get 10, don't call copy to user and report to the user that we read
10 bytes.

paid, full-time maintainer, thanks to a fellowship from the Linux
Foundation. It's still a little unclear how long the LF money will last
for the fellowship, but for the foreseeable future, I'll be working on:
* Properly documenting every new Linux kernel-userland (and glibc) API,
and every API change, that is released into the mainline kernel, ideally
before actual release. (That's the ideal, but there's a quite a
backlog, so I'm not going to achieve the ideal immediately.)
* Testing new APIs, again ideally before they are released into the
mainline kernel, and probably doing some light bug fixing while I'm at
it (e.g., the recent utimensat() work).
* Design review of new APIs, which of course can only usefully be done
before they are released into the mainline kernel.
* And of course accepting patches and dealing with bug reports for
existing man pages.

As all of the architectures that implement their own WARN_ON() all go
through the report_bug() path (specifically handling BUG_TRAP_TYPE_WARN),
taint the kernel there as well for consistency.

I have discovered that the current version of rtc-x1205.c does not work
correctly when asked to set the alarm time by the RTC_WKALM_SET ioctl()
call. This happens because the alarm registers do not behave like the
current-time registers. They are non-volatile. Two things go wrong:
- the X1205 requires a 10 msec delay after any attempt to write to the
non-volatile registers. The x1205_set_datetime() routine does the write
as 8 single-byte writes without any delay. Only the first write
succeeds. The second is NAKed because the chip is busy.
- the X1205 resets the RWEL bit after any write to the non-volatile
registers. This would lock out any further writes after the first even
with a 10msec delay.
I fix this by doing a single 8-byte write and then waiting 10msec for the
chip to be ready. A side effect of this change is that it will speed up
x1205_rtc_set_time() which uses the same code.
I have also implemented the 'enable' bit in the rtc_wkalm structure, which
the existing driver does not attempt to do. I have modified both
x1205_rtc_set_alarm() to set the AL0E bit, and x1205_rtc_read_alarm() to
return it.
I have tested this patch on a LinkSys NSLU2 under OpenWRT, but on no other
hardware. On the NSLU2 the X1205 correctly asserts its IRQ pin when the
alarm time matches the current time.

While 0e36a9a4a7 ("rtc: fix readback from
/sys/class/rtc/rtc?/wakealarm") made sure that active alarms were never
returned with invalid "wildcard" fields (negative), it can still report
(wrongly) that the alarm triggers in the past.
Example, if it's now 10am, an alarm firing at 5am will be triggered
TOMORROW not today. (Which may also be next month or next year...)
This updates that alarm handling in three ways:
* Handle alarm rollover in the common cases of RTCs that don't
support matching on all date fields.
* Skip the invalid-field logic when it's not needed.
* Minor bugfix ... tm_isdst should be ignored, it's one of the
fields Linux doesn't maintain.
A warning is emitted for some of the unhandled rollover cases, but the
possible combinations are a bit too numerous to handle every bit of
potential hardware and firmware braindamage.

Dirty page accounting accurately measures the amound of dirty pages in
writable shared mappings by mapping the pages RO (as indicated by
vma_wants_writenotify). We then trap on first write and call
set_page_dirty() on the page, after which we map the page RW and
continue execution.
When we launder dirty pages, we call clear_page_dirty_for_io() which
clears both the dirty flag, and maps the page RO again before we start
writeout so that the story can repeat itself.
vma_wants_writenotify() excludes VM_PFNMAP on the basis that we cannot
do the regular dirty page stuff on raw PFNs and the memory isn't going
anywhere anyway.
The recently introduced VM_MIXEDMAP mixes both !pfn_valid() and
pfn_valid() pages in a single mapping.
We can't do dirty page accounting on !pfn_valid() pages as stated
above, and mapping them RO causes them to be COW'ed on write, which
breaks VM_SHARED semantics.
Excluding VM_MIXEDMAP in vma_wants_writenotify() would mean we don't do
the regular dirty page accounting for the pfn_valid() pages, which
would bring back all the head-aches from inaccurate dirty page
accounting.
So instead, we let the !pfn_valid() pages get mapped RO, but fix them
up unconditionally in the fault path.

Remove all clameter@sgi.com addresses from the kernel tree since they will
become invalid on June 27th. Change my maintainer email address for the
slab allocators to cl@linux-foundation.org (which will be the new email
address for the future).

This updates the MAINTAINERS entries for powerpc. It adds Ben H to
the overall Linux for PowerPC entry and makes it clear this covers
both 32-bit and 64-bit machines. It removes the separate entry we had
for Linux on 64-bit PowerPC where Anton and I were listed as
maintainers - Anton hasn't been involved in the day-to-day maintenance
of the code for several years. Finally, it removes the entry for the
Linux for PowerPC boot code where Tom Rini was listed as the
maintainer. That code got completely rewritten when we merged
32-bit and 64-bit, and I and the various platform maintainers have
been maintaining that code since.
