The current code does not follow Intel documentation: It misses some things and does other, undocumented things. This causes wrong backlight values in certain conditions. Instead of adding tricky code handling badly documented and rare corner cases, don't handle combination mode specially at all. This way PCI_LBPC is never touched and weird things shouldn't happen. If combination mode is enabled, then the only downside is that changing the brightness has a greater granularity (the LBPC value), but LBPC is at most 254 and the maximum is in the thousands, so this is no real functional loss. A potential problem with not handling combined mode is that a brightness of max * PCI_LBPC is not bright enough. However, this is very unlikely because from the documentation LBPC seems to act as a scaling factor and doesn't look like it's supposed to be changed after boot. The value at boot should always result in a bright enough screen. IMPORTANT: However, although usually the above is true, it may not be when people ran an older (2.6.37) kernel which messed up the LBPC register, and they are unlucky enough to have a BIOS that saves and restores the LBPC value. Then a good kernel may seem to not work: Max brightness isn't bright enough. If this happens people should boot back into the old kernel, set brightness to the maximum, and then reboot. After that everything should be fine. For more information see the below links.

There is no need to install a chained handler for this hardware. This is a plain x86 IOAPIC interrupt which is handled by the core code perfectly fine. There is nothing special about demultiplexing these gpio interrupts which justifies a custom hack. Replace it by a plain old interrupt handler installed with request_irq. That makes the code agnostic about the underlying primary interrupt hardware. The overhead for this is minimal, but it gives us the advantage of accounting, balancing and to detect interrupt storms. gpio interrupts are not really that performance critical.

The lower filesystem may do some type of inode revalidation during a getattr call. eCryptfs should take advantage of that by copying the lower inode attributes to the eCryptfs inode after a call to vfs_getattr() on the lower inode.

read() calls against a file descriptor connected to a directory are incorrectly returning EINVAL rather than EISDIR: [EISDIR] [XSI] [Option Start] The fildes argument refers to a directory and the implementation does not allow the directory to be read using read() or pread(). The readdir() function should be used instead. [Option End] This occurs because we do not have a .read operation defined for ecryptfs directories. Connect this up to generic_read_dir().

We need to delay freeing any mapped page on SMP and ARMv7 systems to ensure that the data is not accessed by other CPUs, or is used for speculative prefetch with ARMv7. This includes not only mapped pages but also pages used for the page tables themselves. This avoids races with the MMU/other CPUs accessing pages after they've been freed but before we've invalidated the TLB. Signed-off-by: -

Commit 18991197 added --build-id linker option when toolchain supports it. ARM one does, but for some reason places the section at 0 when linker script doesn't mention it explicitly. The 1e621a8e worked around the problem removing this section from binary image with explicit objcopy options, but it still exists in vmlinux, confusing tools like debuggers and perf. This problem was discussed here: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-May/015994.html http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-May/015994.html but the proposed changes to the linker script were substantial. This patch simply places NOTES (36 bytes long, at least when compiled with CodeSourcery toolchain) between data and bss, which seem to be the right place (and suggested by the sample linker script in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h). It is enough to place it correctly in vmlinux (so debuggers are happy): Section Headers: [11] .data PROGBITS c07ce000 7ce000 020fc0 00 WA 0 0 32 [12] .notes NOTE c07eefc0 7eefc0 000024 00 AX 0 0 4 [13] .bss NOBITS c07ef000 7eefe4 01e628 00 WA 0 0 32 Program Headers: LOAD 0x008000 0xc0008000 0xc0008000 0x7e6fe4 0x805628 RWE 0x8000 NOTE 0x7eefc0 0xc07eefc0 0xc07eefc0 0x00024 0x00024 R E 0x4 Section to Segment mapping: Segment Sections... 00 <...> .data .notes .bss 01 .notes and to get it exposed as /sys/kernel/notes used by perf tools.
