Problem 1 (see patch below):
vc_tab_stop is declared as an array of 8 unsigned ints in struct
vc_data in include/linux/console_struct.h .
In drivers/char/vt.c only 5 of these 8 unsigned ints get initialized
leading to unintended tabulator placement on displays with more than
160 columns text.
Problem 2 (open):
Upcoming displays will have more than 256 columns of text leading to
invalid memory access in drivers/char/vt.c during tabulator
calculations:
if (vc->vc_tab_stop[vc->vc_x >> 5] & (1 << (vc->vc_x & 31)))
break;

As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()
need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that
creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget.
So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set. And lose that
crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
don't have to bother anymore.

Add a MODULE_ALIAS for the "platform:ipmi_si" MODALIAS exported by the

The patch provides the hvc_resize() function to update the terminal
window dimensions (struct winsize) for a specified hvc console.
The function stores the new window size and schedules a function
that finally updates the tty winsize and signals the change to
user space (SIGWINCH).
Because the winsize update must acquire a mutex and might sleep,
the function is scheduled instead of being called from hvc_poll()
or khvcd.
This patch uses the tty_do_resize() routine from the tty layer.
A pending resize work is canceled in hvc_close() and hvc_hangup().

If put_char() routine of a hvc console backend returns 0, then the
hvc console starts looping in the following scenarios:
1. hvc_console_print()
If put_char() returns 0 then the while loop may loop forever.
I have added the missing check for 0 to throw away console messages.
2. khvcd may loop:
The thread calls hvc_poll() --> hvc_push()... if there are still
buffered data then the HVC_POLL_WRITE bit is set and causes the
khvcd thread to loop (if yield() returns immediately).
However, instead of looping, the khvcd thread could sleep for
MIN_TIMEOUT (doing the same as for get_chars()).
The MIN_TIMEOUT is set if hvc_push() was not able to write
data to the backend. If data has been written, the timeout is
set to 0 to immediately re-schedule hvc_poll().

After a tty hangup() or close() operation, processes might not reset the
termio settings to a sane state. In order to reset the termios to its
default settings the tty driver flag TTY_DRIVER_RESET_TERMIOS has been added.
TTY driver flag description from include/linux/tty_driver.h:
TTY_DRIVER_RESET_TERMIOS --- requests the tty layer to reset the
termios setting when the last process has closed the device.
Used for PTY's, in particular.

This merges branches irq/genirq, irq/sparseirq-v4, timers/hpet-percpu
and x86/uv.
The sparseirq branch is just preliminary groundwork: no sparse IRQs are
actually implemented by this tree anymore - just the new APIs are added
while keeping the old way intact as well (the new APIs map 1:1 to
irq_desc[]). The 'real' sparse IRQ support will then be a relatively
small patch ontop of this - with a v2.6.29 merge target.
