There has been a problem in the radiotap header. Monitor mode
works now with tcpdump 3.94 + libpcap 0.9.4. ethereal 0.99.0 +
libpcap 0.9.4 is broken, because it doesn't find the right offset
for the IEEE 802.11 header.

e252630f1f [ARM] 3743/1: ARM: OMAP: Fix compile for OMAP
Patch from Tony Lindgren

"clocks" is only needed only for CONFIG_OMAP_RESET_CLOCKS,
which turns of all unused clocks in with late_initcall. This is to kill
clocks that may have been left on by the bootloader. Having static and
non-static declaration of clocks makes omap_h2_1610_defconfig build fail.

38c677cb9a [ARM] 3739/1: genirq updates: irq_chip, add and use irq_chip.name
Patch from David Brownell

ARM genirq cleanups/updates:

    - Start switching platforms to newer APIs
        * use "irq_chip" name, not "irqchip"
        * providing irq_chip.name

    - Show irq_chip.name in /proc/interrupts, like on x86.

This update a bit more than half of the ARM code.  The irq_chip.name
values were chosen to match docs (if I have them) or be otherwise
obvious ("FPGA", "CPLD", or matching the code).

48b7bde0f6 [CPUFREQ] Longhaul - Workaround issues with APIC.
There is no need to worry about local APIC.
There is need to worry about I/O APIC, because I/O APIC
is replacing good old 8259. According to Nehemiah datasheet VIA is
using 3-wire bus to connect local APIC to I/O APIC.

"[...] When IA32_APIC_BASE[11] is set to 0, processor APICs based on the 3-wire APIC
 bus cannot be generally re-enabled until a system hardware reset. The 3-wire bus
 looses track of arbitration that would be necessary for complete re-enabling. Certain
 (local) APIC functionality can be enabled. [...]"

So we must set disable bit for each interrupt in I/O APIC registers.
Same situation as for PIC - we must poke registers direcly.
How to do this? I don't know. So at the moment it is better to fail.

9c9a43ed27 [CPUFREQ] return error when failing to set minfreq
I just stumbled on this bug/feature, this is how to reproduce it:

# echo 450000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
# echo 450000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
# echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
# cpufreq-info -p
450000 450000 powersave
# echo 1800000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq ; echo $?
0
# cpufreq-info -p
450000 450000 powersave

Here it is. The kernel refuses to set a min_freq higher than the
max_freq but it allows a max_freq lower than min_freq (lowering min_freq
also).

This behaviour is pretty straightforward (but undocumented) and it
doesn't return an error altough failing to accomplish the requested
action (set min_freq).
The problem (IMO) is basically that userspace is not allowed to set a
full policy atomically while the kernel always does that thus it must
enforce an ordering on operations.

The attached patch returns -EINVAL if trying to increase frequencies
starting from scaling_min_freq and documents the correct ordering of writes.

ce38cac482 [PATCH] rivafb/nvidiafb: race between register_framebuffer and *_bl_init
Since we now use the generic backlight infrastructure, I think we need to
call rivafb_bl_init before calling register_framebuffer since otherwise
rivafb_bl_init might race with the framebuffer layer already opening the
device and setting up the video mode.  In this case we might end up with a
not yet fully intialized backlight (info->bl_dev still NULL) when calling
riva_bl_set_power via rivafb_set_par/rivafb_load_video_mode and the kernel
dies without any further notice during boot.

This fixes booting current git on a PB 6,1.  In this case radeonfb/atyfb
would be affected too - I can fix that too but don't have any hardware to
test this on.

- via-pmu allows the backlight to be grabbed, in which case we need to
  prevent other kernel code from changing the brightness.
- Don't send PMU requests in via-pmu-backlight when the machine is about
  to sleep or waking up.

994aad251a [PATCH] radeonfb sleep fixes
Many IBM Thinkpad T4* models and some R* and X* with radeon video cards draw
too much power when suspended to RAM, reducing drastically the battery
lifetime.  The solution is to enable suspend-to-D2 on these machines.  They
are whitelisted through their subsystem vendor/device ID.  This fixes
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3022

The patch introduces a framework to alter the pm_mode and reinit_func fields
of the radeonfb_info structure based on a whitelist.  This should facilitate
future hardware-dependent workarounds.  The workaround for the Samsung P35
that is already in the radeonfb code has been rewritten using this framework.

The behavior can be overridden with module options:

i)  video=radeonfb:force_sleep=1
    enable suspend-to-D2 also on non-whitelisted machines (useful for
    testing new notebook models),

ii) video=radeonfb:ignore_devlist=1
    Disable checking the whitelist and do not apply any workarounds.

256154fbc3 [PATCH] fbdev: statically link the framebuffer notification functions
The backlight and lcd subsystems can be notified by the framebuffer layer
of blanking events.  However, these subsystems, as a whole, can function
independently from the framebuffer layer.  But in order to enable to the
lcd and backlight subsystems, the framebuffer has to be compiled also,
effectively sucking in a huge amount of unneeded code.

To prevent dependency problems, separate out the framebuffer notification
mechanism from the framebuffer layer and permanently link it to the kernel.

0a0898cf41 [PATCH] fuse: use jiffies_64
It is entirely possible (though rare) that jiffies half-wraps around, while a
dentry/inode remains in the cache.  This could mean that the dentry/inode is
not invalidated for another half wraparound-time.

To get around this problem, use 64-bit jiffies.  The only problem with this is
that dentry->d_time is 32 bits on 32-bit archs.  So use d_fsdata as the high
32 bits.  This is an ugly hack, but far simpler, than having to allocate
private data just for this purpose.

Since 64-bit jiffies can be assumed never to wrap around, simple comparison
can be used, and a zero time value can represent "invalid".

685d16ddb0 [PATCH] fuse: fix zero timeout
An attribute and entry timeout of zero should mean, that the entity is
invalidated immediately after the operation.  Previously invalidation only
happened at the next clock tick.

0b0bf7a3cc [PATCH] vDSO hash-style fix
The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and
dynamically-linked executables.  The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces
".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the
dynamic linker.  The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls
whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both.  In some
new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu
to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in
producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash".  The new ".gnu.hash" sections need
to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the
dynamic linker cares about their contents.  To work with older dynamic
linkers (i.e.  preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old
".hash" section.  The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new
dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can
still handle.

The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO
images for the kernel.  On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time
panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed.

This patch addresses the problem in two ways.

First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash".
 This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools),
with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both.

Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO
images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced.  This is the most
conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland.  There is some
concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production
system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries.  The optimizations
provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO
with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has.  If someone wants to use
=gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that
compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will
make any choice work fine.

d07fe82c24 [PATCH] reference rt-mutex-design in rtmutex.c
In order to prevent Doc Rot, this patch adds a reference to the design
document for rtmutex.c in rtmutex.c.  So when someone needs to update or
change the design of that file they will know that a document actually
exists that explains the design (helping them change it), and hopefully
that they will update the document if they too change the design.
