      [PATCH] ppc: make phys_mem_access_prot() work with pfns instead of addresses · 8b150478
      Roland Dreier authored
      
      
      Change the phys_mem_access_prot() function to take a pfn instead of an
      address.  This allows mmap64() to work on /dev/mem for addresses above 4G
      on 32-bit architectures.  We start with a pfn in mmap_mem(), so there's no
      need to convert to an address; in fact, it's actively bad, since the
      conversion can overflow when the address is above 4G.
      
      Similarly fix the ppc32 page_is_ram() function to avoid a conversion to an
      address by directly comparing to max_pfn.  Working with max_pfn instead of
      high_memory fixes page_is_ram() to give the right answer for highmem pages.

      [PATCH] intelfb/fbdev: Save info->flags in a local variable · 3edea483
      Antonino A. Daplas authored
      
      
      Reported by: Pavel Kysilka (Bugzilla Bug 5059)
      
      The intelfb driver does not keep resolution set with fbset after
      switching to anot console and back.
      
      Steps to reproduce:
      
        initial options: tty1,tty2 - 1024x768-60
        1) tty1 - fbset after booting (1024x768-60)
        2) tty1 - fbset 800x600-100
        tty1: 800x600-100
        3) swith to tty2, swith to tty1
        tty1: 1024x768-60 (the same resolution as default from kernel booting)
      
      This bug is caused by intelfb unintentionally destroying info->flags in
      set_par(). Therefore the flag, FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT used to notify
      fbcon of a mode change was cleared causing the above problem. This bug
      though is not intelfb specific, as other drivers may also be affected.
      
      The fix is to save info->flags in a local variable before calling any
      of the driver hooks.  A more definitive fix (for post 2.6.13) is to
      separate info->flags into one that is set by the driver and another that
      is set by core fbdev/fbcon.

      [PATCH] DocBook: changes and extensions to the kernel documentation · 4dc3b16b
      Pavel Pisa authored
      I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our
      university students again.  The documentation could be extended for more
      sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels.  I
      have tried to proceed with that task.  I have done that more times from 2.6.0
      time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again.  Linux kernel
      compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets.  I have added references to
      some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
       So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
      not too much skewed.
      
      I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
      by kernel convention.  Most of the other changes are modifications in the
      comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
      not bail out on errors.  Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
      #ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.
      
      You can see result of the modified documentation build at
        http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz
      
      
      
      Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated
      documentation.  Sources has been added into kernel-api for now.  Some more
      section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick
      cleanup work.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
