Linus Torvalds c67646641c Add PIIX4 APCI quirk for the 440MX chipset too
This is confirmed to fix a hang due to PCI resource conflicts with
setting up the Cardbus bridge on old laptops with the 440MX chipsets.
Original report by Alessio Sangalli, lspci debugging help by Pekka
Enberg, and trial patch suggested by Daniel Ritz:

  "From the docs available i would _guess_ this thing is really similar
   to the 82443BX/82371AB combination.  at least the SMBus base address
   register is hidden at the very same place (32bit at 0x90 in function
   3 of the "south" brigde)"

The dang thing is largely undocumented, but the patch was corroborated
by Asit Mallick:

  "I am trying to find the register information. 440MX is an integration of
   440BX north-bridge without AGP and PIIX4E (82371EB).  PIIX4 quirk
   should cover the ACPI and SMBus related I/O registers."

and verified to fix the problem by Alessio.

Cornelia Huck 7e560814de [S390] path grouping and path verifications fixes.
1. Multipath devices for which SetPGID is not supported are not handled well.
   Use NOP ccws for path verification (sans path grouping) when SetPGID is not
   supported.
2. Check for PGIDs already set with SensePGID on _all_ paths (not just the
   first one) and try to find a common one. Moan if no common PGID can be
   found (and use NOP verification). If no PGIDs have been set, use the css
   global PGID (as before). (Rationale: SetPGID will get a command reject if
   the PGID it tries to set does not match the already set PGID.)
3. Immediately before reboot, issue RESET CHANNEL PATH (rcp) on all chpids. This
   will remove the old PGIDs. rcp will generate solicited CRWs which can be
   savely ignored by the machine check handler (all other actions create
   unsolicited CRWs).

Heiko Carstens 5c898ba9d4 [S390] xpram module parameter parsing.
The module parameters for xpram are not or in a wrong way parsed.
The xpram module uses the module_param_array directive with an int
parameter which causes the kernel to automatically parse the passed
numbers. This will cause errors if arguments are omitted or cause
wrong results if arguments have size qualifiers.
Use module_param_array with charp and parse the arguments later.

Markus Schoder 3391c22e5b [PATCH] x86_64: Bring x86-64 ia32 emul in sync with i386 on READ_IMPLIES_EXEC enabling
Currently ia32 binaries behave differently with respect to enabling
READ_IMPLIES_EXEC.  On i386 a binary with the exec_stack flag set is
executed with READ_IMPLIES_EXEC enabled as well.  The same binary
executes without READ_IMPLIES_EXEC on x86-64.

This causes binaries that work on i386 to fail on x86-64 which goes
somewhat against the whole 32 bit emulation idea.

It has been argued that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC should not be enabled at all
for binaries that have the exec_stack flag.  Which is probably a valid
point.  However until this is clarified I think x86-64 should behave the
same for ia32 binaries as i386.

The following patch brings x86-64 in sync with i386 for ia32 binaries.

Arjan van de Ven 2c16e9c888 [PATCH] lockdep: disable lock debugging when kernel state becomes untrusted
Disable lockdep debugging in two situations where the integrity of the
kernel no longer is guaranteed: when oopsing and when hitting a
tainting-condition.  The goal is to not get weird lockdep traces that don't
make sense or are otherwise undebuggable, to not waste time.

Lockdep assumes that the previous state it knows about is valid to operate,
which is why lockdep turns itself off after the first violation it reports,
after that point it can no longer make that assumption.

A kernel oops means that the integrity of the kernel compromised; in
addition anything lockdep would report is of lesser importance than the
oops.

All the tainting conditions are of similar integrity-violating nature and
also make debugging/diagnosing more difficult.

Christoph Hellwig 289fbc21ea [PATCH] disallow modular binfmt_elf32
Currently most architectures either always build binfmt_elf32 in the kernel
image or make it a boolean option.  Only sparc64 and s390 allow to build it
modularly.  This patch turns the option into a boolean aswell because elf
requires various symbols that shouldn't be available to modules.  The most
urgent one is tasklist_lock whos export this patch series kills, but there
are others like force_sgi aswell.

Note that sparc doesn't allow a modular 32bit a.out handler either, and
that would be the more useful case as only few people want 32bit sunos
compatibility and 99.9% of all sparc64 users need 32bit linux native elf
support.

Christoph Hellwig 5c318bef5f [PATCH] snsc: switch from force_sig to kill_proc
Currently the snsc driver uses force_sig to send init a SIGPWR when the
system overheats.  This patch switches it to kill_proc instead which has
the following advantages:

 (1) gets rid of one of the last remaining tasklist_lock users
     in modular code
 (2) simplifies the snsc code significantly

The downside is that an init implementation could in theory block SIGPWR
and it would not get delivered.  The sysvinit code used by all major
distributions doesn't do this and blocking this signal in init would be a
rather stupid thing to do.

Jim Cromie babcfade47 [PATCH] pc8736x_gpio: fix re-modprobe errors: fix/finish cdev-init
- Switch from register_chrdev() to   (register|alloc)_chrdev_region().

- use a cdev.  This was intended for original patchset, but was
  overlooked.

  We use a single cdev for all pins (minor device-numbers), as gleaned
  from cs5535_gpio, and in contrast to whats currently done in scx200_gpio
  (which I'll fix soon)

Jim Cromie 27385085f1 [PATCH] pc8736x_gpio: fix re-modprobe errors: undo region reservation
Fix module-init-func by repairing usage of platform_device_del/put in
module-exit-func.  IOW, it imitates Ingo's 'mishaps' patch, which fixed the
module-init-func's undo handling.

Also fixes lack of release_region to undo the earlier registration.

Also starts to 'use a cdev' which was originally intended (its present in
scx200_gpio).  Code compiles and runs, exhibits a lesser error than
previously.  (re-register-chrdev fails)

Since I had to add "include <linux/cdev.h>", I went ahead and made 2
tweaks that fell into diff-context-window:
- remove include <linux/config.h>      everyone's doing it
- copyright updates - current date is 'wrong'

Jim Cromie 4f197842d0 [PATCH] pc8736x_gpio: fix re-modprobe errors: define and use constants
add constant defines - preparatory patch

- adds #define CONSTs  for max-pin,  gpio-addr-range (for reserving region)
- fix wrong max-pin check in gpio_open()
- add 'Winbond' to module description.  NSC sold the product, Winbond
  has supported us / lm-sensors
