| Harvey Harrison | [PATCH 3/3] lib: add range check to avoid overflow simple_st...
Add a simple range check to avoid overflowing an UL, ULL
respectively. The strict versions will catch this case now
as the strlen call will be longer than the number of characters
read. Previously, the simple function would read as long as there
were valied hexadecimal characters remaining.
The simple_strtol/ll still can overflow producing sign errors, but
maybe those users should be using the strict versions then?

Directly code the strict string conversion functions rather than using
defining macros. Pull out a small helper to check the strict conditions
required at the end of a string (nul-terminated or newline).
Add additional checks in strict_strtol and strict_strtoll for numeric

| Alok Kataria | Possible error in tsc frequency calibration
I was looking at the tsc calibration code (tsc_calibrate) in the recent
kernels (2.6.26-rc1). With the newer code of calibrating against the
pm_timer and with the added checks for SMI's the tsc_calibration code
looks pretty robust, at least for x86_64 systems.
However, from the code, (tsc_calibrate) SMI_THRESHOLD is 50000, so in
the worst case, values returned by tsc_read_refs, i.e. tsc1 & tsc2,
could be off by 50000 ticks. On a 2Ghz processor this would mean an
error of 25us. The tsc frequency...

Migrate data off pages with correctable memory errors. This patch is the
ia64 specific piece. It connects the CPE handler to the page migration
code. It is implemented as a kernel loadable module, similar to the mca
recovery code (mca_recovery.ko). This allows the feature to be turned off
by uninstalling the module.

| Timur Tabi | [PATCH][RFC] Add alloc_pages_exact() and free_pages_exact()
alloc_pages_exact() is similar to alloc_pages(), except that it allocates
the minimum number of pages to fulfill the request. This is useful if you
want to allocate a very large buffer that is slightly larger than an
even power-of-two number of pages. In that case, alloc_pages() will waste
a lot of memory.
I have a video driver that wants to allocate a 5MB buffer. alloc_pages()
will waste 3MB of physically-contiguous memory. Therefore, I would
like to see alloc_pages_exact() added to 2.6.27.

Well the answer was probably just from a first level support person so
nothing one should get excited about.
Anyway to the high Load_Cycle_Count; if I understood the technology
correctly the WD GreenPower drives are exactly "Green" because they
unload the heads on a plastic ramp (no landing zone!) quite often during
longer idle periods. Thus they can power off the positioning logic and
actuator of the heads. -> safe Power
This also explains why the power usage under seek is comparable with

Ok the CPU reports it doesn't support any C states in MWAIT. If that is
correct then it would be correct to not use MWAIT idle and might
actually save more power to not use it.
I don't know if that's true or not. Do you have a power meter perhaps?
If yes can you measure if there's a difference between mwait=idle /
default on your box when it is idle?
CPU reports it supports C1/C2/C3. Are you sure there is a difference on
that box? The code should have kept using MWAIT because it checks C1.

So, forever, we've had this ptrace_signal_deliver implementation
which tries to handle all of the nasties that can occur when the
debugger looks at a process about to take a signal. It's meant
to address all ...

| Greg KH | [patch 25/37] sparc: Fix mremap address range validation.
2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.
------------------
From: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Just like mmap, we need to validate address ranges regardless
of MAP_FIXED.
sparc{,64}_mmap_check()'s flag argument is unused, remove.

Hmm. I don't have this one in my tree. Is it obsoleted by the other
patches I do have, or what? If so, some comment about that would be nice.

2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us

------------------
From: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
[ Upstream commit: 986bef854fab44012df678a5b51817d5274d3ca1 ]
Forever we had a PTRACE_SUNOS_DETACH which was unconditionally
recognized, regardless of the personality of the process.
Unfortunately, this value is what ended up in the GLIBC sys/ptrace.h
header file on sparc as PTRACE_DETACH and PT_DETACH.
So continue to recognize this old value....

------------------
From: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
commit c2fc54fcd340cbee47510aa84c346aab3440ba09 upstream
We had a report that running sensors-detect on a Sapphire AM2RD790
motherbord killed the CPU. While the exact cause is still unknown,
I'd rather play it safe and prevent any access to the SMBus on that
machine by not letting the i2c-piix4 driver attach to the SMBus host
device on that machine. A...

From: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>
commit cb6716c879ecf49e2af344926c6a476821812061 upstream
On certain configurations (certain macbooks), even though all the
conditions for SIDPR access described in the datasheet are met,
actually reading those registers just returns 0 and have no effect on
write. Verify SIDPR is actually working before enabling it.
This is reported by Ryan Roth in bz#10...
