On a vc resize, the contents of the old screen buffer are transferred to the
new screenbuffer. If the new screenbuffer is smaller than the old one, only
the contents from the bottom are copied to new. If the contents of the old
buffer are located at the top, then the contents will not be copied to the new
buffer resulting in a blank screen.
This bug will happen only if the vc in question is not in the foreground.
Doing an fbset -a or con2fbmap will trigger this bug.
To fix this problem, base the start of the copy from the location of the
current cursor. If the cursor is near the top of the buffer, copy the
contents at the top, and if the cursor is near the bottom of the buffer, then
copy the contents at the bottom. In the unlikely case where the new row size
is greater than 2x smaller than the old one, and the cursor is in the middle,
copy 1/2 screenful from the top and bottom of the cursor position.

In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must
be updated atomically. Instead of ensuring this through too many memory
barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure. This
patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate
structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct. It also changes all
the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro. Subsequent
applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.

The idea of this patch is to lock both sides of a ptmx/pty pair during line
discipline changing. This is needed to ensure that say a poll on one side of
the pty doesn't occur while the line discipline is actively being changed.
This resulted in an oops reported on lkml, see:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111342171410005&w=2
A 'hacky' approach was previously implmemented which served to eliminate the
poll vs. line discipline changing race. However, this patch takes a more
general approach to the issue. The patch only adds locking on a less often
used path, the line-discipline changing path, as opposed to locking the
ptmx/pty pair on read/write/poll paths.
The patch below, takes both ldisc locks in either order b/c the locks are both
taken under the same spinlock(). I thought about locking the ptmx/pty
separately, such as master always first but that introduces a 3 way deadlock.
For example, process 1 does a blocking read on the slave side. Then, process
2 does an ldisc change on the slave side, which acquires the master ldisc lock
but not the slave's. Finally, process 3 does a write which blocks on the
process 2's ldisc reference.
This patch does introduce some changes in semantics. For example, a line
discipline change on side 'a' of a ptmx/pty pair, will now wait for a
read/write to complete on the other side, or side 'b'. The current behavior
is to simply wait for any read/writes on only side 'a', not both sides 'a' and
'b'. I think this behavior makes sense, but I wanted to point it out.
I've tested the patch with a bunch of read/write/poll while changing the line
discipline out from underneath.
This patch obviates the need for the above "hide the problem" patch.

This patch first simplifies storage and use of the data returned from an

It then creates a new per-OEM handler hook, which should know how to handle
events with the OEM[012] Data Available flags set. It then uses this to
implement a workaround for IPMI 1.5-capable Dell PowerEdge servers which
are susceptable to setting the OEM[012] Data Available flags when the

It might be possible for the saved pointer (*p) to become invalid in

pointer is saner.
This bug is very hard to trigger though, but Andre probably did, if he's
submitting this patch. Anyway, with Andre's patch, it's still possible for
the offsets to be still illegal, if the new screen size is smaller than the
old one. So I've also added checks if the offsets are still within the

PowerPC 40x and Book-E processors support a watchdog timer at the processor
core level. The timer has implementation dependent timeout frequencies
that can be configured by software.
One the first Watchdog timeout we get a critical exception. It is left to
board specific code to determine what should happen at this point. If
nothing is done and another timeout period expires the processor may
attempt to reset the machine.
Command line parameters:
wdt=0 : disable watchdog (default)
wdt=1 : enable watchdog
wdt_period=N : N sets the value of the Watchdog Timer Period.
The Watchdog Timer Period meaning is implementation specific. Check
User Manual for the processor for more details.

[ Same race and same patch also by Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> ]
I have a laptop (G3 powerbook) which will pretty reliably hit a race
between con_open and con_close late in the boot process and oops in
vt_ioctl due to tty->driver_data being NULL.
What happens is this: process A opens /dev/tty6; it comes into
con_open() (drivers/char/vt.c) and assign a non-NULL value to
tty->driver_data. Then process A closes that and concurrently process
B opens /dev/tty6. Process A gets through con_close() and clears
tty->driver_data, since tty->count == 1. However, before process A
can decrement tty->count, we switch to process B (e.g. at the
down(&tty_sem) call at drivers/char/tty_io.c line 1626).
So process B gets to run and comes into con_open with tty->count == 2,
as tty->count is incremented (in init_dev) before con_open is called.
Because tty->count != 1, we don't set tty->driver_data. Then when the
process tries to do anything with that fd, it oopses.
The simple and effective fix for this is to test tty->driver_data
rather than tty->count in con_open. The testing and setting of
tty->driver_data is serialized with respect to the clearing of
tty->driver_data in con_close by the console_sem. We can't get a
situation where con_open sees tty->driver_data != NULL and then
con_close on a different fd clears tty->driver_data, because
tty->count is incremented before con_open is called. Thus this patch
eliminates the race, and in fact with this patch my laptop doesn't
oops.

I found why my G5 was crashing when using the linux-2.6 version of the
DRM + git-drm.patch from 2.6.13-rc6-mm1, but not with the CVS DRM.
The reason was that dev->agp->cant_use_aperture wasn't getting set,
and the reason for that was that <linux/version.h> no longer gets
included and the #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < 0x020408 in drm_agpsupport.c
was going the wrong way. With this patch (and a few others) a 32-bit
server works correctly, as does DRI.
