In both case, the screen stays black, but seems divided into 4 vertical bands.

The problem is a combination of an incorrect xclk plus lack of timing
information. The adapter is attached to an LCD device that can do 1280x600
(which is not a standard resolution). The global mode database does not have
an entry for it. Fortunately, the Video BIOS contains the complete timing

[PATCH] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbcon
According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for
drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor
function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around
fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is
moved to the console directory.
Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor
field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own
version.
The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not
loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will
also not be loaded.

images on the iMac G5 I have here (though the X driver doesn't yet "read"

"true" to your X config file to get that, I'll try to fix X.org to "read"
the default unless specified asap).

The following set of patches are aimed at improving kprobes scalability. We
currently serialize kprobe registration, unregistration and handler execution
using a single spinlock - kprobe_lock.
With these changes, kprobe handlers can run without any locks held. It also
allows for simultaneous kprobe handler executions on different processors as
we now track kprobe execution on a per processor basis. It is now necessary
that the handlers be re-entrant since handlers can run concurrently on
multiple processors.
All changes have been tested on i386, ia64, ppc64 and x86_64, while sparc64
has been compile tested only.
The patches can be viewed as 3 logical chunks:
patch 1: Reorder preempt_(dis/en)able calls
patches 2-7: Introduce per_cpu data areas to track kprobe execution
patches 8-9: Use RCU to synchronize kprobe (un)registration and handler

[PATCH] ipmi: add timer thread
We must poll for responses to commands when interrupts aren't in use. The
default poll interval is based on using a kernel timer, which varies with HZ.
For character-based interfaces like KCS and SMIC though, that can be way too
slow (>15 minutes to flash a new firmware with KCS, >20 seconds to retrieve
the sensor list).
This creates a low-priority kernel thread to poll more often. If the state
machine is idle, so is the kernel thread. But if there's an active command,
it polls quite rapidly. This decrease a firmware flash time from 15 minutes
to 1.5 minutes, and the sensor list time to 4.5 seconds, on a Dell PowerEdge
x8x system.
The timer-based polling remains, to ensure some amount of responsiveness even
under high user process CPU load.
Checking for a stopped timer at rmmod now uses atomics and del_timer_sync() to
ensure safe stoppage.

We want it to delay in ERROR0 after clearing OBF a bit waiting for OBF to

This introduces a new return value from the LLDD's event loop,

[PATCH] ipmi: bt restart reset fixes
The current BT retry/reset mechanism fails to succeed on a PowerEdge 1650,
when the controller is wedged with B2H_ATN asserted at XACTION_START. If this

Furthermore, the soft reset would only occur if the first command after insmod
was the one that timed out, not if a later command timed out.
This patch changes the retry/reset mechanism to be as follows:
Before retrying a command, clear the state of the BT controller such that the
flags represent ready for a new transaction. This increases the chance of
success of the restarted transaction.
After 2 retries, issue a soft reset and retry one more time before giving up
and reporting back a failure.

[PATCH] ipmi: watchdog parms in sysfs
Modify the IPMI watchdog parameters (the ones that make sense) to be exported

[PATCH] ipmi: various si cleanup
A number of small changes for the various system interface drivers,
consolidated from a number of patches from Matt Domsch.
Clear B2H_ATN and drain the BMC message buffer on command timeout. This
prevents further commands from failing after a timeout.
Add bt_debug and smic_debug module parameters, expose them in sysfs. This
lets you enable and disable debugging messages at runtime.
Unsigned jiffies math in ipmi_si_intf.c causes a too-large value to be passed
to ->event() after jiffies wrap-around. The BT driver had caught this, but
didn't know how to fix it. Now all calls to ->event() use a sane value for
time.
Increase timeout for commands handed to the BT driver from 2 seconds to 5
seconds. This is necessary particularly when the previous command was a
"Clear SEL", as that command completes, yet the BMC isn't really ready to
handle another command yet.
Silence BT debugging messages which were being printed on the console.
Increase SMIC timeout form 1/10s to 2s. This is needed on Dell PowerEdge 2650
and PowerEdge 750 with ERA/O cards to allow commands to complete without
timing out.
Adds kcs_debug module param, to match behavior of BT and SMIC. This also
prevents messages from being sent to the console unless explicitly requested.

[PATCH] ipmi: use refcount in message handler
This patch is rather large, but it really can't be done in smaller chunks
easily and I believe it is an important change. This has been out and tested
for a while in the latest IPMI driver release. There are no functional
changes, just changes as necessary to convert the locking over (and a few
minor style updates).
The IPMI driver uses read/write locks to ensure that things exist while they
are in use. This is bad from a number of points of view. This patch removes
the rwlocks and uses refcounts and RCU lists to manage what the locks did.

[PATCH] as: cooperating processes
Introduce the notion of cooperating processes (those that submit requests
close to one another), and use these statistics to make better choices about
whether or not to do anticipatory waiting.
Help and analysis from Seetharami Seelam <seelam@cs.utep.edu>
Performance testing from Seelam:
I set up my system and executed a couple of tests that I used for OLS. I
tested with AS, cooperative process patch merged in -mm tree (which I called
Nick, below) and the cooperative patch with modifications to as_update_iohist
(which I called Seelam).
I used a dual-processor (2.28GHz Pentium 4 Xeon) system, with 1 GB main memory
and 1 MB L2 cache, running Linux 2.6.9. Only a single processor is used for
the experiments. I used 7.2K RPM Maxtor 10GB drive configured with ext2 file
system.
Experiment 1 (ex1) consists of reading one Linux source trees using
find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' > /dev/null.
Experiment 2 (ex2) consists of reading two disjoint Linux source trees
using
find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' > /dev/null.
Experiment 3 (ex3) consists of streaming read of a 2GB file in the background
and 1 instance of the chunk reads in Experiment 1.
Timings for reading the Linux source are shown below:
AS Nick Seelam
ex1: 0m25.813s 0m27.859s 0m27.640s
ex2: 1m11.468s 1m13.918s 1m5.869s
ex3: 81m44.352s 10m38.572s 6m47.994s
The difference between the numbers in Experiment 3 must be due to the code in
as_update_iohist. (akpm: that's not part of this patch. So this patch is
"Nick").

[PATCH] consolidate sys_ptrace()
The sys_ptrace boilerplate code (everything outside the big switch
statement for the arch-specific requests) is shared by most architectures.
This patch moves it to kernel/ptrace.c and leaves the arch-specific code as
arch_ptrace.
Some architectures have a too different ptrace so we have to exclude them.
They continue to keep their implementations. For sh64 I had to add a
sh64_ptrace wrapper because it does some initialization on the first call.
For um I removed an ifdefed SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL block, but
SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL isn't defined anywhere in the tree.
