This fixes the regression introduced by commit
42590a7501 ("x86/agp: Fix
agp_amd64_init and agp_amd64_cleanup").
The above commit changes agp_amd64_init() not to do anything if
gart_iommu_aperture is not zero.
If GART iommu calls agp_amd64_init(), we need to skip
agp_amd64_init() when it's called later via module_init.
The problem is that gart_iommu_init() calls agp_amd64_init()
with not zero gart_iommu_aperture so agp_amd64_init() is never
initialized.
When gart_iommu_init() calls agp_amd64_init(), agp should be
always initialized.

Current implementation of Mac mouse button emulation plugs into legacy
keyboard driver, converts certain keys into button events on a separate
device, and suppresses the real events from reaching tty. This worked
well enough until user space started using evdev which was completely
unaware of this arrangement and kept sending original key presses to
its users. Change the implementation to use newly added input filter
framework so that original key presses are not transmitted to any
handlers.
As a bonus remove SYSCTL dependencies from the code and use Kconfig
instead; also do not create the emulated mouse device until user
activates emulation.

This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation.
The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to
many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it.
FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles
the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory
resources.
I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use:
- The API is to simple, important functions are missing
- A fifo can be only allocated dynamically
- There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not
- There is no support for data records inside a fifo
So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up
the API to much. The new API has the following benefits:
- Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver.
- Provide an API for the most use case.
- Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions.
- Linux style habit.
- DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros
- Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo.
- The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an
indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator.
- Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo,
which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary.
- Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if
one is required.
- Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported:
- Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size
field of 1 bytes.
- Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size
field of 2 bytes.
- Fixed size records, which no record size field.
- Preserve memory resource.
- Performance!
- Easy to use!
This patch:
Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object,
reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data
structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init
prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This
patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

Now that we've removed the BKL here, let's explicitly set llseek to

The default_llseek function still contains the BKL. When we are auditing
code to see if we can remove the BKL, this is one of the hidden
considerations we need to take into account. i.e., is there
syncronization between code that has the BKL and llseek.
At the same time we remove the BKL it would be a good idea to do indicate
when no llseek function is required, so we don't have to revisit this code
again, when we are trying to determine if we can remove the BKL from the

Fix node-oriented allocation handling in oom-kill.c I myself think of this
as a bugfix not as an ehnancement.
In these days, things are changed as
- alloc_pages() eats nodemask as its arguments, __alloc_pages_nodemask().
- mempolicy don't maintain its own private zonelists.
(And cpuset doesn't use nodemask for __alloc_pages_nodemask())
So, current oom-killer's check function is wrong.
This patch does
- check nodemask, if nodemask && nodemask doesn't cover all
node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], this is CONSTRAINT_MEMORY_POLICY.
- Scan all zonelist under nodemask, if it hits cpuset's wall
this faiulre is from cpuset.
And
- modifies the caller of out_of_memory not to call oom if __GFP_THISNODE.
This doesn't change "current" behavior. If callers use __GFP_THISNODE
it should handle "page allocation failure" by itself.
- handle __GFP_NOFAIL+__GFP_THISNODE path.
This is something like a FIXME but this gfpmask is not used now.

The kernel offers with TIOCL_GETKMSGREDIRECT ioctl() the possibility to
redirect the kernel messages to a specific console.
However, since it's not possible to switch to the kernel message console
after a panic(), it would be nice if the kernel would print the panic
message on the current console.
This patch series adds a new interface to access the global kmsg_redirect
variable by a function to be able to use it in code where
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set (kernel/panic.c).
This patch:
Instead of using and exporting a global value kmsg_redirect, introduce a
function vt_kmsg_redirect() that both can set and return the console where
messages are printed.
Change all users of kmsg_redirect (the VT code itself and kernel/power.c)
to the new interface.
The main advantage is that vt_kmsg_redirect() can also be used when
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set.

If there's a failure creating the device (because there's already one with

Second, the test currently in misc_deregister is broken, since it does not
test for the 0 minor.
