In a desparate attempt to fix the suspend/resume problem on Andrews

timer on resume. This was actually resolving the problem on the VAIO
but was just a stupid workaround, which was not tackling the root
cause: the assignement of lower idle C-States in the ACPI processor_idle
code. The cpuidle patches, which utilize the dynamic tick feature and
go faster into deeper C-states exposed the problem again. The correct

especially the VAIO BIOSes (both Andrews jinxed UP and my elfstruck SMP one)

Sorry, it took me quite a while to realize the real root cause of the

which were unearthed by the dyntick / clockevents patches.
We disable a lot of ACPI/BIOS functionality during suspend, but we
keep the lower idle C-states functionality active across
suspend/resume. It seems that this causes trouble with certain BIOSes,
but I assume that the problem is more wide spread and just not
surfacing due to the various scenarios in whic...

Ok, so the patches look fine, but I somehow have this slight feeling that

I realize that the answer is easily "because ACPI screwed up", but I'm
wondering if there's something we do to trigger that screw-up.

| Bernhard Walle | [RFC] IRQ sharing for PCI parport cards
Hello,
currently, the parport_pc driver doesn't use IRQs automatically for
PCI devices. However, why is it not possible? It's no problem to find
out the corresponding IRQ, and it should also be possible to use IRQ
sharing. The following patch implements this.
Could somebody tell me what's wrong with that approach? _If_ it would
be that simple, I'm sure that sombody would have implemented this
already.
At least it works here.

After recent discussions on LKML and a general dissatisfaction at the
current printk() kernel-message logging interface, I've decided to
write down some of the ideas for a better system.
Requirements
============
* Backwards compatibility with printk(), syslog(), etc. There is no
way the whole kernel can be converted to a new interface in one go.
printk() is used all over the kernel, in many different ways,
including calls from assembly, multi-line prints spread over several
calls, etc.

Hello,
It is unclear from the various documentions in the kernel and glibc what
the proper behaviour should be for the case when a child process
catches a SIGNAL (say for instance, SIGTERM), and then calls exit()
from within its caught SIGNAL handler.
Since the exit() will cause a SIGCHLD to the parent, and the parent
(let's say) has a SIGCHLD sigaction (SA_SIGINFO sa_flags set), should
the parent's WIFSIGNALED(siginfo->si_status) be true?
To recap, the WIFSIGNALED section of the waitp...

POSIX says
WIFSIGNALED(stat_val)
Evaluates to a non-zero value if status was returned for a child
process that terminated due to the receipt of a signal that was
not caught (see <signal.h>).
So there's no dilemma at all and Linux is non-conformant.

If the child terminated by calling exit(), regardless of whether it
was done from inside a signal handler, then WIFEXITED() should test
true, but WIFSIGNALED() will not. If you are seeing otherwise, then
show a *short* program that demonstrates the behavior. (But it seems
unlikely that there would be a kernel bug on this point, so do check
your program carefully!)

make O=$PWD kernel/time.o
make mrproper
Of course no one would use O=$PWD (that's just the testcase),
but this happened too often:
/ws/linux/linux-2.6.23$ make O=/ws/linux/linux-2.6.23 kernel/time.o
(Oops - should have been O=/ws/linux/obj-2.6.23!)
The make O=$PWD truncates the Makefile, making it necessary to run `git
checkout Makefile` - should you have git; or reextract the tarball
(should you /still/ have it). Well,...

Does the following patch fix it at your end?
Seems to work for me.

Read-only source-tree for kbuild user, end of question. By current kbuild
one can garbage source by various means. Read-write for quilt, git and
editor users.

Please Oleg.
You know very well that most people will not have their kernel src RO.

Sure, if it will be not comfortable.
But if kbuild deals with this transparently, it must be OK. Brokenness
due to binutils, kbuild, root user bugs won't garbage source. Only thing
to ask from experienced users *and* kernel developers, is
`useradd kbuild`, everything else will not bother anybody.
I just express my vision, of course. But see, i can't play with kernel
sources error-free now. If i type some `make` somewhere in obj or src
tree, i need to know, that vanilla source stays so in any ci...

| lepton | [RFC PATCH] 2.6.22.6 user-mode linux: before abort, we make ...
In a stock 2.6.22.6 kernel, poweroff a user mode linux guest
(2.6.22.6 running in skas0 mode) will halt the host linux. I
think the reason is the kernel thread abort because of a bug.
Then the sys_reboot in process of user mode linux guest is
not trapped by the user mode linux kernel and is executed by host.
I think it is better to make sure all of our children process
to quit when user mode linux kernel abort.
