2006-06-21[PATCH] TTY: return class device pointer from tty_register_device()Hansjoerg Lipp
Let tty_register_device() return a pointer to the class device it creates. This allows registrants to add their own sysfs files under the class device node.

2006-06-20[SPARC]: Kill __irq_itoa().David S. Miller
This ugly hack was long overdue to die. It was a way to print out Sparc interrupts in a more freindly format, since IRQ numbers were arbitrary opaque 32-bit integers which vectored into PIL levels. These 32-bit integers were not necessarily in the 0-->NR_IRQS range, but the PILs they vectored to were. The idea now is that we will increase NR_IRQS a little bit and use a virtual<-->real IRQ number mapping scheme similar to PowerPC. That makes this IRQ printing hack irrelevant, and furthermore only a handful of drivers actually used __irq_itoa() making it even less useful. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2006-06-11[PATCH] Fix for the PPTP hangs that have been reportedPaul Mackerras
People have been reporting that PPP connections over ptys, such as used with PPTP, will hang randomly when transferring large amounts of data, for instance in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6530. I have managed to reproduce the problem, and the patch below fixes the actual cause. The problem is not in fact in ppp_async.c but in n_tty.c. What happens is that when pptp reads from the pty, we call read_chan() in drivers/char/n_tty.c on the master side of the pty. That copies all the characters out of its buffer to userspace and then calls check_unthrottle(), which calls the pty unthrottle routine, which calls tty_wakeup on the slave side, which calls ppp_asynctty_wakeup, which calls tasklet_schedule. So far so good. Since we are in process context, the tasklet runs immediately and calls ppp_async_process(), which calls ppp_async_push, which calls the tty->driver->write function to send some more output. However, tty->driver->write() returns zero, because the master tty->receive_room is still zero. We haven't returned from check_unthrottle() yet, and read_chan() only updates tty->receive_room _after_ calling check_unthrottle. That means that the driver->write call in ppp_async_process() returns 0. That would be fine if we were going to get a subsequent wakeup call, but we aren't (we just had it, and the buffer is now empty). The solution is for n_tty.c to update tty->receive_room _before_ calling the driver unthrottle routine. The patch below does this. With this patch I was able to transfer a 900MB file over a PPTP connection (taking about 25 minutes), whereas without the patch the connection would always stall in under a minute.

2006-06-10[PATCH] powerpc: console_initcall ordering issuesMilton Miller
From: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> The add_preferred_console call in rtas_console.c was not causing the console to be selected. It turns out that the add_preferred_console was being called after the hvc_console driver was registered. It only works when it is called before the console driver is registered. Reorder hvc_console.o after the hvc_console drivers to allow the selection during console_initcall processing.

2006-05-31[PATCH] IPMI: reserve I/O ports separatelyCorey Minyard
From: Corey Minyard <minyard@acm.org> This patch is pretty important to get in for IPMI, new systems have been changing the way ACPI and IPMI interact, and this works around the problems for now. This is a temporary fix until we get proper ACPI handling in IPMI. Fixed releasing already-allocated regions when a later request fails, and forward-ported it to HEAD. Some BIOSes reserve disjoint I/O regions in their ACPI tables for the IPMI controller. This causes problems when trying to register the entire I/O region. Therefore we must register each I/O port separately.

2006-05-31[PATCH] tpm: more bios log parsing fixesSeiji Munetoh
From: Seiji Munetoh <seiji.munetoh@gmail.com> Change the binary output format to actual ACPI TCPA log structure since the current format does not contain all event-data information that need to verify the PCRs in TPM. tpm_binary_bios_measurements_show() uses get_event_name() to convert the binary event-data to ascii format, and puts them as binary. However, to verify the PCRs, the event-data must be a actual binary event-data used by SHA1 calc. in BIOS. So, I think actual ACPI TCPA log is good for this binary output format. That way, any userland tools easily parse this data with reference to TCG PC specification.
