c4edfced66 at91: warn if irqs are enabled in set_next_event
Thomas claims that irqs are disabled when set_next_event is called.  But
David and Remy claim they saw irqs being enabled here.  As both sides
don't seem to have time to investigate here, start with a warning that
might trigger if the problem still exists.

94fa873ff8 Fix configure warnings in defconfigs for netX and Picotux 200
Since May 8 2007 the symbols RTC_INTF_PROC, RTC_INTF_SYSFS and

f3179748a1 radeonfb: Disable new color expand acceleration unless explicitely enabled
This new color expansion acceleration for radeonfb appears to trigger
problems with X on VT switch and suspend/resume on some machines. It
might be a problem in the VT layer or in X, but I haven't quite found
it yet, so in the meantime, this disables the acceleration by default,
reverting to 2.6.27 state. It can be enabled using the "accel_cexp"
module parameter or fbdev argument.

a3f07114e3 [PATCH] Audit: make audit=0 actually turn off audit
Currently audit=0 on the kernel command line does absolutely nothing.
Audit always loads and always uses its resources such as creating the
kernel netlink socket.  This patch causes audit=0 to actually disable
audit.  Audit will use no resources and starting the userspace auditd
daemon will not cause the kernel audit system to activate.

e33ba2c6c6 pata_sis: Remove bogus cable match
Some systems report SIS 5513 as both vendor/id and subvendor/id
string. In that case we can't distinguish the system by the id
svid/sdid and in fact the entry here breaks some boxes. At some
point we need to find another way to detect the Targa Visionary 1000,
until then this trades a hang for some users with lower performance
for others.

Hi,

I've found this issue in the mmotm 2008-12-02-17-08.

Commit
ata_piix: add borked Tecra M4 to broken suspend list
introduced DMI variables checking, but they can be null, so that
we possibly dereference null.

Check if they are null and avoid checks in that case.

b60678a75d drm/i915: Disable the GM965 MSI errata workaround.
Since applying the fix suggested by the errata (disabling MSI), we've had
issues with interrupts being stuck on despite IIR being 0 on GM965 hardware.
Most reporters of the issue have confirmed that turning MSI back on fixes
things, and given the difficulties experienced in getting reliable MSI working
on Linux, it's believable that the errata was about software issues and not
actual hardware issues.

a4f4d6df53 EXPORTFS: handle NULL returns from fh_to_dentry()/fh_to_parent()
While 440037287c "[PATCH] switch all filesystems over to
d_obtain_alias" removed some cases where fh_to_dentry() and
fh_to_parent() could return NULL, there are still a few NULL returns
left in individual filesystems.  Thus it was a mistake for that commit
to remove the handling of NULL returns in the callers.

Revert those parts of 440037287c which removed the NULL handling.

(We could, alternatively, modify all implementations to return -ESTALE
instead of NULL, but that proves to require fixing a number of
filesystems, and in some cases it's arguably more natural to return
NULL.)

Thanks to David for original patch and Linus, Christoph, and Hugh for
review.

c49b9f295e tproxy: fixe a possible read from an invalid location in the socket match
TIME_WAIT sockets need to be handled specially, and the socket match
casted inet_timewait_sock instances to inet_sock, which are not
compatible.

Handle this special case by checking sk->sk_state.

baa745a337 [ARM] Fix alignment fault handling for ARMv6 and later CPUs
On ARMv6 and later CPUs, it is possible for userspace processes to
get stuck on a misaligned load or store due to the "ignore fault"
setting; unlike previous CPUs, retrying the instruction without
the 'A' bit set does not always cause the load to succeed.

We have no real option but to default to fixing up alignment faults
on these CPUs, and having the CPU fix up those misaligned accesses
which it can.

794baba637 [ARM] 5340/1: fix stack placement after noexecstack changes
Commit 8ec53663d2 ("[ARM] Improve
non-executable support") added support for detecting non-executable
stack binaries.  One of the things it does is to make READ_IMPLIES_EXEC
be set in ->personality if we are running on a CPU that doesn't support
the XN ("Execute Never") page table bit or if we are running a binary
that needs an executable stack.

This exposed a latent bug in ARM's asm/processor.h due to which we'll
end up placing the stack at a very low address, where it will bump into
the heap on any application that uses significant amount of stack or
heap or both, causing many interesting crashes.

Fix this by testing the ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT bit in ->personality instead
of testing for equality against PER_LINUX_32BIT.

218d11a8b0 Fix a race condition in FASYNC handling
Changeset a238b790d5 (Call fasync()
functions without the BKL) introduced a race which could leave
file->f_flags in a state inconsistent with what the underlying
driver/filesystem believes.  Revert that change, and also fix the same
races in ioctl_fioasync() and ioctl_fionbio().

This is a minimal, short-term fix; the real fix will not involve the
BKL.
