Hi Jeff,
This is version 19 of the Wireless Extensions. It was supposed
to be the fallback of the WPA API changes, but people seem quite happy
about it (especially Jouni), so the patch is rather small.
The patch has been fully tested with 2.6.13 and various
wireless drivers, and is in its final version. Would you mind pushing
that into Linus's kernel so that the driver and the apps can take
advantage ot it ?
It includes :
o iwstat improvement (explicit dBm). This is the result of
long discussions with Dan Williams, the authors of
NetworkManager. Thanks to him for all the fruitful feedback.
o remove pointer from event stream. I was not totally sure if
this pointer was 32-64 bits clean, so I'd rather remove it and be at
peace with it.
o remove linux header from wireless.h. This has long been
requested by people writting user space apps, now it's done, and it
was not even painful.
o final deprecation of spy_offset. You did not like it, it's
now gone for good.
o Start deprecating dev->get_wireless_stats -> debloat netdev
o Add "check" version of event macros for ieee802.11
stack. Jiri Benc doesn't like the current macros, we aim to please ;-)
All those changes, except the last one, have been bit-roting on
my web pages for a while...
Patches for most kernel drivers will follow. Patches for the
Orinoco and the HostAP drivers have been sent to their respective
maintainers.
Have fun...
Jean

This patch adds a driver for a new 1000 Mbit ethernet NIC. It is
integrated on the south bridge that is used for our Cell Blades.
The code gets the MAC address from the Open Firmware device tree, so it
won't compile on platforms other than ppc64.
This is the first public release, so I don't expect the first version to
get merged, but I'd aim for integration within the 2.6.13 time frame.

Hi,
This patch contains the following hardware related fixes and other
miscellaneous bug fixes.
1. Updated the definition of single and double-bit ECC errors
2. Earlier we were allocating Transmit descriptors equal to
MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This was causing a boundary condition failure.
Need to allocate MAX_SKB_FRAGS+1 descriptors.
3. On some platforms(like PPC), pci_alloc_consistent() can return
a zero DMA address. Since the NIC cannot handle zero-addresses,
a workaround has been provided. Basically, we don't use such
that page. We reallocate.
4. If list_info allocation failed during driver load, check for
it during driver exit and return instead of trying to dereference
NULL pointer.
5. Increase the debug level of few non-critical debug messages.
6. Reset the card on critical ECC double errors only in case of
XframeI since XframeII can recover from such errors.
7. Print copyright message on driver load.
8. Bumped up the driver version no. to 2.0.8.1

Currently, we set the class bit in kernel SLB entries, and clear it on
user SLB entries. On POWER5, ERAT entries created in real mode have
the class bit clear. So to avoid flushing kernel ERAT entries on each
context switch, this patch inverts our usage of the class bit, setting
it on user SLB entries and clearing it on kernel SLB entries.
Booted on POWER5 and G5.

Yet another architecture not coverd by GEN_RTC - sparc64 never picked
it until now and it doesn't have asm/rtc.h to go with it, so it
wouldn't compile anyway (or have these ioctls in the user-visible
headers, for that matter).
FWIW, I'm very tempted to introduce ARCH_HAS_GEN_RTC and have it set
in arch/*/Kconfig for architectures that know what to do with this
stuff - for something supposedly generic the list of architectures
where it doesn't work is getting too long...

I would like to be able to read the lparcfg data from any user so we
can make "intelligent" decisions based on underlying attributes when
running in lpars. Yes there's software that likes to do this :) and
runs as non-root.

cmpxchg has the following code:
__typeof__(*(ptr)) _o_ = (o);
__typeof__(*(ptr)) _n_ = (n);
Unfortunately it makes gcc 4.0 store and load the variables to the stack.
Eg in atomic_dec_and_test we get:
stw r10,112(r1)
stw r9,116(r1)
lwz r9,112(r1)
lwz r0,116(r1)
x86 is just casting the values so do that instead. Also change __xchg*
and __cmpxchg* to take unsigned values, removing a few sign extensions.

2) systemcfg pointer is assigned from static data in
arch/ppc64/kernel/pacaData.c. The file arch/ppc64/kernel/head.S
now refers to is using the GOT binding to the pointer and hence
must deref it.
