Linux 2.6.0-test3

Linux 2.6.0-test3

[Linus Torvalds]

The bulk of the diff by far is various architecture updates, and in 
particular bringing MIPS[64] a bit closer to being up-to-date for 2.6.x  
But there's arm, alpha, h8300 and ia64 updates too. 

Merging the SELinux security architecture also ends up growing the patch, 
even though it may not be all that noticeable for most normal users.

For most x86 users, the CPU frequency updates, network driver updates, and 
some USB updates are most likely to matter.

And this should fix the PCMCIA lock-up that a number of people have seen
happening since 2.5.71 or so. Thanks for people involved in testing and 
fixing that one.

Also, Andrew fixed a read-ahead bug that was introduced in test2 that
could cause (non-readahead) IO failures under load.

Shortlog follows, full details in the BK trees and in the log on the
ftp/web sites.

Danny ter Haar:
  o CREDITS change

Dave Jones:
  o [CPUFREQ] update Documentation
  o [CPUFREQ] Fix compilation of speedstep-ich.c if SPEEDSTEP_DEBUG is
    set
  o [CPUFREQ] Longrun validate can fail
  o [CPUFREQ] Locking fixes [1/11] First part in a series of patches
    from Dominik which clean up the locking in cpufreq. It sort of
    worked, but is full of races. But to keep it working at least as
    well it works now, add a new spinlock cpufreq_driver_lock which
    will be what cpufreq_driver_sem intended to be -- but it can indeed
    be a spinlock instead of a semaphore. 
  o [CPUFREQ] Locking fixes [2/11] As the per-CPU initialization can
    fail, we need to deal with this situation in cpufreq_remove_dev as
    the sysdev core doesn't (yet) do this for us. The solution: add a
    "struct cpufreq_policy
  o [CPUFREQ] Fix locking [3/11] Change the return value of
    cpufreq_cpu_get from a nondescriptent int to struct
    cpufreq_policy*. This will allow for cleaner code - and later it
    will be expected that anyone who grabs a reference by calling
    cpufreq_cpu_get must return this struct cpufreq_policy* to
    cpufreq_cpu_put.
  o [CPUFREQ] Fix locking [4/11] Make cpufreq_remove_dev a bit more
    readable. Also, assure that the GOV_STOP and the
    cpufreq_driver->exit() call are indeed the last calls done.
  o [CPUFREQ] Fix locking [5/11] Make cpufreq_set_policy a bit more
    readable by storing the CPU's cpufreq_policy into a pointer.
  o [CPUFREQ] Fix locking [6/11] Change the function parameter of
    cpufreq_cpu_put to struct cpufreq_policy *.
  o [CPUFREQ] Fix locking [7/11] Finally implement the two different
    cpufreq_driver_target callbacks -- the one called while the per-CPU
    lock is held, the other while not. While we're at it, clean up
    cpufreq_governor.
  o [CPUFREQ] Fix locking [8/11] Split up cpufreq_governor into a
    locking and non-locking variant.
  o [CPUFREQ] Fix locking [9/11] Use the per-CPU policy->lock to lock
    the per-CPU "policy" data. Also, use it to serialize the setting of
    new frequency policies on each CPU.
  o [CPUFREQ] Fix locking [10/11] Remove the final instances of the
    now-deprecated cpufreq_driver_sem. Also, the previous
    "one-frequency change at one moment" limitation is gone. If it's
    needed by the cpufreq driver, it should be implemented in its
    cpufreq_driver->{target,setpolicy} callback.
  o [CPUFREQ] Fix locking [11/11] Implement per-CPU memory allocation.
    Is a bit cleaner than the previous "once and for all" approach.
  o [CPUFREQ] speedstep_ICH new frequency notification fix
  o [CPUFREQ] Sanity checks for voltage scaling in longhaul driver
  o [AGPGART] Handle Intel chipsets whose BIOS has 'forgotten' to
    assign resources
  o [AGPGART] Fix Nforce modular compilation
  o [CPUFREQ] Update MAINTAINERS/CREDITS Dominik doesn't want
    maintainership any more (besides him still doing lots of great work
    on it. 8-)
  o [CPUFREQ] Sparse __user annotations for acpi driver
  o [CPUFREQ] Fix sparse warnings in powernow-k7
  o [CPUFREQ] sparse __user annotation for cpufreq userspace interface
  o [CPUFREQ] longhaul printk cleanups
  o [CPUFREQ] Better handling of revisionKey bits on Longhaul
  o [CPUFREQ] Move MSRs from powernow-k7.h to include/asm-i386/msr.h
  o [CPUFREQ] Remove CVS idents
  o [CPUFREQ] Move rdmsrl/wrmsrl to include/asm-i386/msr.h
  o [CPUFREQ] Clean up longhaul MSR usage using bitfields
  o [CPUFREQ] Convert Longhaul v1 over to bitfields too
  o Cset exclude:
    davej@codemonkey.org.uk|ChangeSet|20030715115826|58980

Re: Linux 2.6.0-test3: USB still broken.

[reg]

The USB subsystem is still broken in test3.
everything seems to build w/o errors, but late in the boot the screen
is filled with the line

	drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: control queue full

which repeats a a high rate and is VERY hard to break free from.
Not good.

Is this patch _still_ not in the kernel.

Linus - please merge this patch - its required for several ARM framebuffer
drivers, and several other drivers.  James has indicated that this is the
correct fix back in May:

This change was also present in James's fbdev update, so I dropped it.  But
then James's fbdev update broke so I dropped that too.

Well, I cannot finish printing anything now and I believe, that one of
above is responsible. 
It looks as if printer gets some amount of data but then communication 
'stops' and printer waits for more data (usually I have about 2cm 
of page printed, paper locked and later printer error leds start
blinking happily :)

Not sure, if it's directly related, but system seems to be less 
responsive later.

Version of usblp.c from 2.6.0-test2 compiled with 2.6.0-test3 does
not work as I expected (I can load module, but printer is not 
detected - no usual 'usblp0: USB Unidirectional printer dev 3 if 0 alt 1
proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid' message in logs).

I traced my problem down to -test2-bk2 (with bk1 everything works
correctly).

o Printer is connected to /dev/usb/lp0; it's HP840c
o ver_linux output: http://zeus.polsl.gliwice.pl/kernel/2.6.0-test3/ver_linux

This number is misleading.

As a result of the "uniq" in your script the warning

  include/linux/mca-legacy.h:10:2: warning: #warning "MCA legacy - 
  please move your driver to the new sysfs api"

that occurs in 8 different files is counted only once although this

I agree that the MCA legacy warnings are a bit misleading.  Fortunately,

~/.git/config ?

[Anand Kumria]

Hi,

git is unable to construct a reasonable default email address in my
current environment.  So, I use GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL
to override things.

This has worked well but, now, I need to vary the email address for some
repositories.  Unfortunately the environment variables override
.git/config.

It would be good if things were like:
	- try to construct one automagically
	- use ~/.git/config (if available)
	- use .git/config
	- use environment variables

That way I could set my default email address in ~/.git/config and
override it as required for those repositories that need it.

Thanks,
Anand

I backup my $HOME using git, so there's a .git directory in ~.  I don't
think a global config file is really needed but it would be nice if
.git/config would override the environment variables, not the other way
around.

Well, I'm not sure if environmental variables overriding wouldn't make
invocations like 'GIT_DIR=something git command' possible.

There are templates, also for config. Currently git lacks user (not
repository) config file, e.g. ~/.gitconfig (common for all repositories).

Then you have no other way to override .git/config e.g. when committing

Except that this just sets the environment variables for you. :-)

Now, you could do some really funny stuff with overriding the
environment variables at git commit's entry point with .git/config
stuff, then possibly setting them again in case --author was passed, but
I seriously think such a confusion is not worth it.

If you mean by the above "do all of these and take the last
value that was available", that sounds sane.  Except perhaps I
would suggest to use ~/.git-config instead.  Some people seem to
want to track their home directory with git, and that way, your
personal fallback default file can be version controlled.

~/.gitrc might get useful for actually doing what ~/.cvsrc or ~/.cgrc
does, that is providing default options for git commands. ~/.gitconfig
would just give you per-user defaults for the repository config file.

I don't think the two are necessarily any different.

I do think that
 (a) we might as well use the same syntax. There's no point in having 
     different syntax for the files, even if they end up having slightly 
     different usage.
 (b) a "user-wide" config file would tend to have different things in it 
     than a per-repository one, but some of the things it would have in it 
     are the things that we currently put in the per-repository one. 
     Notably exactly the "user.name" and "user.email" values.
 (c) having a user- (and perhaps a system-) wide config file would make 
     some things that we do not _yet_ support in the .git/config file 
     format more natural, but that doesn't necessarily mean that having 
     them on a per-repo basis would be wrong either.

As an example of (c), let's say that somebody wants to use the CVS aliases 
with git. They've used cvs for years, and as a result their brain has 
atrophied, and they have a really hard time teaching their fingers to 
write "git commit" when they want to write "cvs ci".

So they would do "alias cvs git" in a desperate attempt to save themselves 
from CVS, and then add

	[alias "co"]
		cmd = commit -a

to their .gitrc file. Now, the only thing we'd need to do is to teach 
"git.c" to parse that simple "alias.$1.command" variable, and that really 
sounds pretty damn easy, no?

And that really does make more sense in a user-wide ".gitrc" file. But at 
the same time, there's really no reason to _disallow_ it from the 
repo-private .git/config file either. For example, you could do

	[alias "publish"]
		cmd = push public.site.com:/pub/scm/my-public-repo

and that is somethign that actually makes sense as a per-repository 
command alias, so that "git publish" does the right thing for just _that_ 
repository.

So I would argue that yes, ".gitrc" makes sense, and no, we shouldn't have 
a separate ".gitrc" and ".gitconfig", because I think what we really would 
want is a way to do default .git/config entries, and that it is _also_ a 
very natural way to add some things that we don't do yet.

That, of course, would be confusing.

It should be "ci" for commit, and "co" for "checkout".

Duh. Chalk it up to me not having used cvs in the last three or four years 
or so (we used it at transmeta, although I can hope that they've since

So, would we use it also for default options of commands, like

        [alias "log"]
                cmd = log -p -M -C

(we could implement "git whatchanges" as an alias, keeping it's man page, or
sharing it with "git log").

You are lucky ;-).

The alias would be a nice addition -- I can get rid of the hack
I have for show-branch.  We would need an argument splitter, but
that should be trivial.

I want to paint part of it as well!

Wouldn't we be futureproofing ourselves by stuffing it in a
subdirectory instead?  What if we want to add more files later?

Also, can we please make sure to make the location of the file (or
directory) configurable through an environment variable, e.g.,
GIT_CONFIG, GIT_USER_CONFIG, GIT_HOME, or GIT_USER_HOME?

Peace.

Me neither.  Default options to fall back on if repository
configuration does not specify them and when environments do not
override them -- that's exactly "per-user defaults", nothing else.

Earlier I suggested ~/.git-config, but anything other than
~/.git/config is OK.  ~/.gitrc is fine.  And the order suggested
by Anand sounded fine.

 - use environment (if the value is obtained, stop here)
 - use .git/config (if the value is obtained, stop here)
 - use ~/.git-config (if the value is obtained, stop here)
 - do whatever the program does by default.

Yes.  Also "preference" kind of things as opposed to "per
project policy" such as apply.whitespace.

I don't like this syntax. What other stuff (beside "cmd") would be under
"[alias "co"]? Why not simply:

        [alias]
		co = commit -a
		publish = push public.site.com:/pub/scm/my-public-repo

Nice, I like this.

Well, the following isn't exactly the nicest code I have ever written...
But it seems to work. ;-)

This patch adds support for configurable aliases for git commands -
"alias.WHATEVER = which ever" will kick in when you do "git WHATEVER"
and substitute WHATEVER with "which ever" (splitted to arguments at
whitespaces).

[PATCH] Read configuration also from ~/.gitrc

[Petr Baudis]

  Hi,

Dear diary, on Fri, May 26, 2006 at 05:28:37PM CEST, I got a letter
where Anand Kumria <wildfire@progsoc.uts.edu.au> said that...
> git is unable to construct a reasonable default email address in my

  hmm, might it be as simple as this?

---

This command makes Git read configuration from ~/.gitrc in addition
to the per-repository .git/config configuration file, and updates
the documentation accordingly (and also expands it a little).

Idea by Anand Kumria.

Well, if [alias] would be used also for giving default options for git
commands, e.g.

        [alias]
            log = log --pretty

(from what Petr "Pasky" Baudis said on IRC, currently on the right side
there should be only true git commands, which eliminates nicely problems
with recursion ;-), it would be better to ensure that aliases are checked
*only* for interactive sessions - otherwise using aliases for default
arguments would/could mess the scripts.

Sorry, I don't.  The left hand side of '=' does not allow
anything but alnum and squashes the case.  Please stick to
[alias "co"] syntax.

A funny side effect of that would be that "git log" and "git-log" would
now have completely different defaults (unless the alias mechanism
starts intercepting direct calls to git-*, which seems invasive). I
wonder if it might be simpler to just add 
  core.defaults.log = "--pretty"
or similar.

But would this not break for the normal case? If you override one key in 
the repository's config, with this patch, repo-config will barf. The 
normal case is that you do not expect multiple values for the same key. 
Your patch reads both ~/.gitrc and $GIT_DIR/config, and if a key has a 
value in both (even if they are identical), repo-config will error out.

Further, storing a key will no longer work. This is an obscure side 
effect of this patch not caring about storing anything in ~/.gitrc: If you 
find the key section (or the key) in ~/.gitrc, the offset will be stored, 
_and used on $GIT_DIR/config_!

I agree it is nice to have a global git configuration, but I have it: I 
use templates.

Does that really matter that much? Perhaps we might support something
like

	"!ooOk" = commit -a

(and it will probably not do what the user expects if he sticks
whitespaces in).

> Please stick to [alias "co"] syntax.

That sucks, e.g. because it's alias-specific, and it's inconsistent.
I can't have anything like "cgalias" then.

Let's make some effort to keep the syntax clean...

So the patch was to simplistic. Values from user's configuration file
~/.gitrc should be marked, to be overridden by $GIT_DIR/config per
repository configuration file.

I think that storing a key should (unless new option --user-config or
--global is used) should store it in $GIT_DIR/config file; of course index
has to be found there, and if not found it key should be created. Per
configuration file offsets?

There are system-wide templates. git-init-db(1) doesn't show default
directory for _user_ templates...
