The softdog watchdog timer has a bug that can create an oops:
1. Load the module without the nowayout option.
2. Open the driver and close it without writing 'V' before close.
3. Unload the module. The timer will continue to run...
4. Oops happens when timer fires.
Reported Sun, 10 Oct 2004, by Michael Schierl <schierlm@gmx.de>
Fix is easy: always take a reference on the module on open.
Release it only when the device is closed and no timer is running.
Tested on 2.6.13-rc6 using the soft_noboot option. While the
timer is running and the device is closed, the module use count
stays at 1. After the timer fires, it drops to 0. Repeatedly
opening and closing the driver caused no problems. Please apply.

Attached is a small update to the w83627hf watchdog driver
to initialise appropriately if it was already initialised
in the BIOS. On tyan motherboards for e.g. you can init
the watchdog to 4 mins, then when the driver is loaded it
sets the watchdog to "seconds" mode, and then machine will
reboot within 4 seconds. So this patch resets the timeout
to the configured value if the watchdog is already running.

While looking for possible candidates for our udev.rules package,
I found a few odd ->name properties. /dev/watchdog has minor 130
according to devices.txt. Since all watchdog drivers use the
misc_register() call, they will end up in /sys/class/misc/$foo.
udev may create the /dev/watchdog node if the driver is loaded.
I dont have such a device, so I cant test it.
The drivers below provide names with spaces and even with / in it.
Not a big deal, but apps may expect /dev/watchdog.

[ Same race and same patch also by Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> ]
I have a laptop (G3 powerbook) which will pretty reliably hit a race
between con_open and con_close late in the boot process and oops in
vt_ioctl due to tty->driver_data being NULL.
What happens is this: process A opens /dev/tty6; it comes into
con_open() (drivers/char/vt.c) and assign a non-NULL value to
tty->driver_data. Then process A closes that and concurrently process
B opens /dev/tty6. Process A gets through con_close() and clears
tty->driver_data, since tty->count == 1. However, before process A
can decrement tty->count, we switch to process B (e.g. at the
down(&tty_sem) call at drivers/char/tty_io.c line 1626).
So process B gets to run and comes into con_open with tty->count == 2,
as tty->count is incremented (in init_dev) before con_open is called.
Because tty->count != 1, we don't set tty->driver_data. Then when the
process tries to do anything with that fd, it oopses.
The simple and effective fix for this is to test tty->driver_data
rather than tty->count in con_open. The testing and setting of
tty->driver_data is serialized with respect to the clearing of
tty->driver_data in con_close by the console_sem. We can't get a
situation where con_open sees tty->driver_data != NULL and then
con_close on a different fd clears tty->driver_data, because
tty->count is incremented before con_open is called. Thus this patch
eliminates the race, and in fact with this patch my laptop doesn't
oops.

I found why my G5 was crashing when using the linux-2.6 version of the
DRM + git-drm.patch from 2.6.13-rc6-mm1, but not with the CVS DRM.
The reason was that dev->agp->cant_use_aperture wasn't getting set,
and the reason for that was that <linux/version.h> no longer gets
included and the #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < 0x020408 in drm_agpsupport.c
was going the wrong way. With this patch (and a few others) a 32-bit
server works correctly, as does DRI.

It's been pointed out that environmental events from the system
controllers on Altix machines cause the kernel to complain about
unaligned memory accesses. This turns out to be because
"be32_to_cpup()" didn't do everything I thought/hoped it did.
I've added calls to pull the offending integers out of the
buffers using get_unaligned() before feeding them to
be32_to_cpup().

This leaves the issue of whether we should deprecate the whole thing (or
if we should check the whole mmap range, for that matter) open. Just do
the minimal fix for now.
Spotted by Jeremy Fitzhardinge, this change crept in with the multiple
backend support. It's clearly incorrect to overwrite info->mode after
we just went to lengths to determine which bits to mask out.

This patch includes support for the new Infineon Trusted Platform Module
SLB 9635 TT 1.2 and does further include ACPI-support for both chip
versions (SLD 9630 TT 1.1 and SLB9635 TT 1.2). Since the ioports and
configuration registers are not correctly set on some machines, the
configuration is now done via PNPACPI, which reads out the correct values
out of the DSDT-table. Note that you have to have CONFIG_PNP,
CONFIG_ACPI_BUS and CONFIG_PNPACPI enabled to run this driver (assuming
that mainboards including a TPM do have the need for ACPI anyway).

Since the beginning of July my Opteron box was randomly crashing and
being rebooted by hardware watchdog. Today it finally did it in front
of me, and this patch will hopefully fix it.
The problem is that at the end of June (the 28th, to be exact: commit
47f176fdaf8924bc83fddcf9658f2fd3ef60d573, "[PATCH] Using msleep()
instead of HZ") rtc_get_rtc_time was converted to use msleep() instead
of busy waiting. But rtc_get_rtc_time is used by hpet_rtc_interrupt,
and scheduling is not allowed during interrupt. So I'm reverting this
part of original change, replacing msleep() back with busy loop.
The original code was busy waiting for up to 20ms, but on my hardware in
the worst case update-in-progress bit was asserted for at most 363
passes through loop (on 2GHz dual Opteron), much less than even one
jiffie, not even talking about 20ms. So I changed code to just wait
only as long as necessary. Otherwise when RTC was set to generate
8192Hz timer, it stopped doing anything for 20ms (160 pulses were
skipped!) from time to time, and this is rather suboptimal as far as I
can tell.
