Honestly, I can't decide whether to apply this. It really should never

It really genuinely is a bug that probably should panic the kernel. The
only precedent I can easily see is x86 fixing up a bad iret with a
general protection fault, which is more or less analogous to code 27
here.
On the other hand, taking the exception on a userspace access really
isn't all that critical, and there's fundamentally little reason for the
kernel not to SIGSEGV the process, and continue...
Argh.

%cr8 << 1 == %sr3 == current->mm.context... let's see if where we're

parisc: add uevent helper for parisc bus
udev device-driver auto detection was failing to work on the GSC bus, since
udev didn't knew wich driver to load due to a missing MODALIAS environment
variable from kernel.
This patch fixes this by adding the MODALIAS environment variable to the
uevent kernel notifications.
Since modalias_show() generated the modalias string already, I splitted this
out and created a new static function make_modalias() which is now used by
modalias_show() and the new parisc_uevent() function.
Tested on 715/64 and c3000.

Create a new __space_to_prot inline to convert the space id (mmu context)

The problems lie in the types used for some inotify interfaces, both at the kernel level and at the glibc level. This mail addresses the kernel problem. I will follow up with some suggestions for glibc changes.
For the sys_inotify_rm_watch() interface, the type of the 'wd' argument is
currently 'u32', it should be '__s32' . That is Robert's suggestion, and
is consistent with the other declarations of watch descriptors in the
kernel source, in particular, the inotify_event structure in
include/linux/inotify.h:
struct inotify_event {
__s32 wd; /* watch descriptor */
__u32 mask; /* watch mask */
__u32 cookie; /* cookie to synchronize two events */
__u32 len; /* length (including nulls) of name */
char name[0]; /* stub for possible name */
};
The patch makes the changes needed for inotify_rm_watch().

Fsync currently has a fdatawrite/fdatawait pair around the method call,
and a mutex_lock/unlock of the inode mutex. All callers of fsync have
to duplicate this, but we have a few and most of them don't quite get
it right. This patch adds a new vfs_fsync that takes care of this.
It's a little more complicated as usual as ->fsync might get a NULL file
pointer and just a dentry from nfsd, but otherwise gets afile and we
want to take the mapping and file operations from it when it is there.
Notes on the fsync callers:
- ecryptfs wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the
lower file
- coda wasn't calling filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait on the host
file, and returning 0 when ->fsync was missing
- shm wasn't calling either filemap_fdatawrite / filemap_fdatawait nor
taking i_mutex. Now given that shared memory doesn't have disk
backing not doing anything in fsync seems fine and I left it out of
the vfs_fsync conversion for now, but in that case we might just
not pass it through to the lower file at all but just call the no-op
simple_sync_file directly.

This patch fixes a race condition in lseek. While it is expected that
unpredictable behaviour may result while repositioning the offset of a
file descriptor concurrently with reading/writing to the same file
descriptor, this should not happen when merely *reading* the file
descriptor's offset.
Unfortunately, the only portable way in Unix to read a file
descriptor's offset is lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR); however executing this
concurrently with read/write may mess up the position.

The current ndfc driver only compiles under arch/ppc. This arch was
removed from the kernel. I notice the event entry for the ndfc in
Kconfig has been removed in 2.6.28.
This patch converts the ndfc to a proper OF (OpenFirmware) driver. I
can give a working example of the DTS if needed.
The patch has been in production use on the PIKA Warp Appliance and is
in use by others. The Warp basically boots from NAND, so the ndfc driver
is very important to us.
