die_if_no_fixup() shouldn't use get_user() as it doesn't call set_fs() to
indicate that it wants to probe a kernel address. Instead it should use
probe_kernel_read().
This fixes the problem of gdb seeing SIGILL rather than SIGTRAP when hitting
the KGDB special breakpoint upon SysRq+g being seen. The problem was that
die_if_no_fixup() was failing to read the opcode of the instruction that caused
the exception, and thus not fixing up the exception.
This caused gdb to get a S04 response to the $? request in its remote protocol
rather than S05 - which would then cause it to continue with $C04 rather than
$c in an attempt to pass the signal onto the inferior process. The kernel,
however, does not support $Cnn, and so objects by returning an E22 response,
indicating an error. gdb does not expect this and prints:
warning: Remote failure reply: E22
and then returns to the gdb command prompt unable to continue.

Some devices that can generate interrupts are connected directly to the

During the introduction of genirq on sparc32 bugs were introduced in
the interrupt handler for sun4d. The interrupts handler checks the status
of the various sbus interfaces in the system and generates a virtual
interrupt, based upon the location of the interrupt source. This lookup
was broken by restructuring the code in such a way that index and shift
operations were performed prior to comparing this against the values
read from the interrupt controllers.
This could cause the handler to loop eternally as the interrupt source
could be skipped before any check was performed. Additionally
sun4d_encode_irq performs shifting internally, so it should not be performed
twice.
In sun4d_unmask interrupts were not correctly acknowledged, as the
corresponding bit it the interrupt mask was not actually cleared.

sun4d_build_device_irq was called without a valid platform_device when
the system timer was initialized on sun4d systems. This caused a NULL
pointer crash.
Josip Rodin suggested that the current sun4d_build_device_irq should be
split into two functions. So that the timer initialization could skip
the slot and sbus interface detection code in sun4d_build_device_irq, as
this does not make sence due to the timer interrupts not being generated
from a device located on sbus.

To work around controllers which can't properly plug events while
reset, ata_eh_reset() clears error states and ATA_PFLAG_EH_PENDING
after reset but before RESET is marked done. As reset is the final
recovery action and full verification of devices including onlineness
and classfication match is done afterwards, this shouldn't lead to
lost devices or missed hotplug events.
Unfortunately, it forgot to thaw the port when clearing EH_PENDING, so
if the condition happens after resetting an empty port, the port could
be left frozen and EH will end without thawing it, making the port
unresponsive to further hotplug events.
Thaw if the port is frozen after clearing EH_PENDING. This problem is
reported by Bruce Stenning in the following thread.

Many Linux distributions would enable vesafb in order to display
early stage boot splash. In this case, we will get garbled X
Window screen if running X fbdev on psbfb.
This is because fb0 is occupied by vesafb while psbfb is on fb1.
They tried to drive the same pieces of hardware at the same
time. With unmodified X start-up, it would try to use default
fb0 framebuffer device and unfortunately it is now broken
becaues fb1 supersedes it.
We should let psbfb takeover framebuffer control from vesafb
to get around this problem.

Some USB mass-storage devices have bugs that cause them not to handle
the first READ(10) command they receive correctly. The Corsair
Padlock v2 returns completely bogus data for its first read (possibly
it returns the data in encrypted form even though the device is
supposed to be unlocked). The Feiya SD/SDHC card reader fails to
complete the first READ(10) command after it is plugged in or after a
new card is inserted, returning a status code that indicates it thinks
the command was invalid, which prevents the kernel from retrying the
read.
Since the first read of a new device or a new medium is for the
partition sector, the kernel is unable to retrieve the device's
partition table. Users have to manually issue an "hdparm -z" or
"blockdev --rereadpt" command before they can access the device.
This patch (as1470) works around the problem. It adds a new quirk
flag, US_FL_INVALID_READ10, indicating that the first READ(10) should
always be retried immediately, as should any failing READ(10) commands
(provided the preceding READ(10) command succeeded, to avoid getting
stuck in a loop). The patch also adds appropriate unusual_devs
entries containing the new flag.

I assume at this time the cpu offline comes in,
the rx softirq is raised/moved to another cpu but napi stays in the
poll_list of the softnet_data of the now offline cpu.
Reviewing dev_cpu_callback (net/core/dev.c) I did not find the

The original reporter states that sound from the internal speakers is
inaudible until using the model=auto quirk. This symptom is due to an
existing quirk mask for 0x102802b* that uses the model=dell quirk. To
limit the possible regressions, leave the existing quirk mask but add
a higher priority specific mask for the reporter's PCI SSID.
