28735a7253 [PATCH] gpio_direction_output() needs an initial value
It's been pointed out that output GPIOs should have an initial value, to
avoid signal glitching ...  among other things, it can be some time before
a driver is ready.  This patch corrects that oversight, fixing

 - documentation
 - platforms supporting the GPIO interface
 - users of that call (just one for now, others are pending)

There's only one user of this call for now since most platforms are still
using non-generic GPIO setup code, which in most cases already couples the
initial value with its "set output mode" request.

Note that most platforms are clear about the hardware letting the output
value be set before the pin direction is changed, but the s3c241x docs are
vague on that topic ...  so those chips might not avoid the glitches.

b6bc5d7149 [PATCH] Fix VMI and COMPAT_VDSO for 2.6.21
VMI is broken under COMPAT_VDSO, as Xen and other non hardware assisted
hypervisors will be.  I have been working on a fix for this which works
for older glibcs that panic when the new relocatable VDSO is used.

However, I believe at this time that the fix is going to be too radical
to consider at this stage in the release of 2.6.21.  We don't expect
this config option to be turned on by vendors for new distributions, so
at this point we are willing to drop support for it when VMI is compiled
in, and work on a patch for 2.6.22 which more fully addresses the
problem.

c0a79b229a [SPARC64]: Fix atomicity of TIF update in flush_thread()
Fix atomicity of TIF update in flush_thread() for sparc64

Fixes correctly the race by using *_ti_thread_flag.

Race :

parent process executing :
sys_ptrace()
 (lock_kernel())
 (ptrace_get_task_struct(pid))
 arch_ptrace()
   ptrace_detach()
     ptrace_disable(child);
       clear_singlestep(child);
         clear_tsk_thread_flag(child, TIF_SINGLESTEP);
         (which clears the TIF_SINGLESTEP flag atomically from a different
          process)
 (put_task_struct(child))
 (unlock_kernel())

And at the same time, in the child process :
sys_execve()
 do_execve()
   search_binary_handler()
     load_elf_binary()
       flush_old_exec()
         flush_thread()
           doing a non-atomic thread flag update

94b2a4393c [POWERPC] Fix spu SLB invalidations
The SPU code doesn't properly invalidate SPUs SLBs when necessary,
for example when changing a segment size from the hugetlbfs code. In
addition, it saves and restores the SLB content on context switches
which makes it harder to properly handle those invalidations.

This patch removes the saving & restoring for now, something more
efficient might be found later on. It also adds a spu_flush_all_slbs(mm)
that can be used by the core mm code to flush the SLBs of all SPEs that
are running a given mm at the time of the flush.

In order to do that, it adds a spinlock to the list of all SPEs and move
some bits & pieces from spufs to spu_base.c

the MCA recovery code to look for the TLB check signature of the
duplicate TLB entry and panic in that case.

In my previous x86_64 thread fix, I forgot to initialize thread.arch.fs in
arch_prctl.  A process calling arch_prctl to set %fs would lose it on the
next context switch.

It also turns out that you can switch to a process which is in the process
of exiting and which has lost its mm.  In this case, it's worse than
useless to try to call arch_prctl on the host process.

An architecture needs epoll_event translation if alignof(u64) in 32 bit
mode is different from alignof(u64) in 64 bit mode.  If an architecture
needs epoll_event translation, it must define struct compat_epoll_event in
asm/compat.h and set CONFIG_HAVE_COMPAT_EPOLL_EVENT and use
compat_sys_epoll_ctl and compat_sys_epoll_wait.

All 64 bit architecture should use compat_sys_epoll_pwait.

Instead here we have:
        case PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA:
	case ...:
                return sys_ptrace(request, pid, addr, data);

        default:
                return -EINVAL;

This change was a style change - when a case is added, it must be
explicitly tested this way.  In this case, not enough testing was done.

de7b37cd01 [PATCH] um: fix errno usage
Avoid reusing userspace errno twice - it can be cleared by libc code
everywhere (in particular printk() does clear it in my setup).
