RAMOOPS: Don't overflow over non-allocated regions

2010-12-28T19:12:32Z

The current code mis-calculates the ramoops header size, leading to an overflow over the next record at best, or over a non-allocated region at worst. Fix that calculation. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S. Darwish Acked-by: Marco Stornelli Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

tpm: Autodetect itpm devices

2010-11-29T22:18:01Z

Some Lenovos have TPMs that require a quirk to function correctly. This can be autodetected by checking whether the device has a _HID of INTC0102. This is an invalid PNPid, and as such is discarded by the pnp layer - however it's still present in the ACPI code, so we can pull it out that way. This means that the quirk won't be automatically applied on non-ACPI systems, but without ACPI we don't have any way to identify the chip anyway so I don't think that's a great concern.

Char: virtio_console, fix memory leak

2010-11-24T04:51:12Z

Stanse found that in init_vqs, memory is leaked under certain circumstanses (the fail path order is incorrect). Fix that by checking allocations in one turn and free all of them at once if some fails (some may be NULL, but this is OK).

BKL: remove extraneous #include

2010-11-17T16:59:32Z

The big kernel lock has been removed from all these files at some point, leaving only the #include. Remove this too as a cleanup. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Fix gcc 4.5.1 miscompiling drivers/char/i8k.c (again)

2010-11-15T21:27:06Z

The fix in commit 6b4e81db2552 ("i8k: Tell gcc that *regs gets clobbered") to work around the gcc miscompiling i8k.c to add "+m (*regs)" caused register pressure problems and a build failure. Changing the 'asm' statement to 'asm volatile' instead should prevent that and works around the gcc bug as well, so we can remove the "+m". [ Background on the gcc bug: a memory clobber fails to mark the function the asm resides in as non-pure (aka "__attribute__((const))"), so if the function does nothing else that triggers the non-pure logic, gcc will think that that function has no side effects at all. As a result, callers will be mis-compiled. Adding the "+m" made gcc see that it's not a pure function, and so does "asm volatile". The problem was never really the need to mark "*regs" as changed, since the memory clobber did that part - the problem was just a bug in the gcc "pure" function analysis - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Jim Bos Acked-by: Jakub Jelinek Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Andreas Schwab Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

i8k: Tell gcc that *regs gets clobbered

2010-11-13T17:54:43Z

More recent GCC caused the i8k driver to stop working, on Slackware compiler was upgraded from gcc-4.4.4 to gcc-4.5.1 after which it didn't work anymore, meaning the driver didn't load or gave total nonsensical output. As it turned out the asm(..) statement forgot to mention it modifies the *regs variable. Credits to Andi Kleen and Andreas Schwab for providing the fix.
