So here goes -pre5. Summary of changes from v2.4.21-pre4 to v2.4.21-pre5 ============================================ <[email protected]>: o rivafb 0.9.4 update <[email protected][helgaas]>: o ia64: fix typo in ia32_support.c <[email protected]>: o USB: USB-MIDI support for Roland SC8820 <[email protected][helgaas]>: o ia64: ia32 emulation layer bug fix <[email protected]>: o [netdrvr ns83820] big endian fixes <[email protected]>: o Fix a bug in the workaround for closed P2P bridge IO windows which could actually break bridges that didn't need fixing o Export atomic_{clear,set}_mask for modules o Request Open Firmware to open all "display" devices instead limiting us to the first one. This helps getting all cards properly POSTed o Prevent the stack from growing on reads. This works around a problem with the mount syscall calling copy_mount_options() which can trigger a fault via copy_from_user() between the last core VMA and the stack. o Properly fixup the Winbond W83C553 IDE on Longtrail and BriQ's so the controller is switched to fully native mode and interrupts are configured properly o Fix serial table for BriQ hardware (different base clock) and make sure it works with CONFIG_VT o Fix a warning o Make sure xmon doesn't try to tap a hash table when none exist o Add asm byteswapped 64 bits accessors o Rework inline syscall macros, fix clobbers & gcc3.3 (From Franz Sirl) o Remove old gross hack that did nothing good <[email protected]>: o Remove kdb from PowerPC-64 o ppc64 updates to 2.4.21-pre4 <[email protected][helgaas]>: o ia64: Add local_irq_set() and save_and_sti() o ia64: Use IA64_PSR_I rather than (1UL << 14) o ia64: Reverse SGI scatterlist changes so SGI update will apply o ia64: Simple ndelay implementation o ia64: Add some default configs o ia64: whitespace fixes o ia64: add infrastructure for multiple IO port spaces o ia64: add support for MMIO and IO port spaces from ACPI _CRS o ia64: add iomem_resource and ioport_resource allocation o ia64: update defconfigs o Rename configs <[email protected]>: o spelling fix for drivers_usb_usbnet.c <[email protected]>: o USB: small uhci bug <[email protected]>: o The initial release of the driver for the 3Com 3cr990 family <[email protected][helgaas]>: o ia64: For ia32 emulation, do not turn on O_LARGEFILE automatically o ia64: Don't risk running past the end of the unwind-table.
