moduleparam: fix alpha, ia64 and ppc64 compile failures

2008-07-19T12:57:03Z

On alpha, ia64 and ppc64 only relocations to local data can go into read-only sections. The vast majority of module parameters use the global generic param_set_*/param_get_* functions, so the 'const' attribute for struct kernel_param is not only useless, but it also causes compile failures due to 'section type conflict' in those rare cases where param_set/get are local functions.

x86: Replace NSC/Cyrix specific chipset access macros by inlined functions.

2008-07-14T18:08:34Z

Due to index register access ordering problems, when using macros a line like this fails (and does nothing): setCx86(CX86_CCR2, getCx86(CX86_CCR2) | 0x88); With inlined functions this line will work as expected. Note about a side effect: Seems on Geode GX1 based systems the "suspend on halt power saving feature" was never enabled due to this wrong macro expansion. With inlined functions it will be enabled, but this will stop the TSC when the CPU runs into a HLT instruction. Kernel output something like this: Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -472746897 ns) This is the 3rd version of this patch. - Adding missed arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mtrr/state.c Thanks to Andres Salomon - Adding some big fat comments into the new header file Suggested by Andi Kleen AK: fixed x86-64 compilation Adrian Bunk: Added workaround for x86_64 compilation.

gcc >= 4.3 is not supported

2008-03-14T20:05:58Z

Building kernel 2.6.16 with gcc 4.3 is completely untested, and you might run into both kernel and gcc problems (as always with new gcc versions). For making this obvious the kernel build now #error's when trying to build with gcc >= 4.3. The kernel might work fine when compiled with gcc 4.3 and it's therefore possible to remove the #error, but if someone really longs for regressions he can as well try a more recent kernel instead.

[NETLINK]: Fix unicast timeouts

2007-11-13T11:23:22Z

[ Upstream commit: c3d8d1e30cace31fed6186a4b8c6b1401836d89c ] Commit ed6dcf4a in the history.git tree broke netlink_unicast timeouts by moving the schedule_timeout() call to a new function that doesn't propagate the remaining timeout back to the caller. This means on each retry we start with the full timeout again. ipc/mqueue.c seems to actually want to wait indefinitely so this behaviour is retained.
