Linux 2.5.25-dj1

Resync against latest Linus release, and start folding in some of the bits that have accumulated whilst I've been at conferences. I dropped the input layer changes, as the ones in my tree already are known to be 'almost good'. They should just fall out over time in the same way as the framebuffer changes.

As usual,..

Patch against 2.5.25 vanilla is available from:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/davej/patches/2.5/

Merged patch archive: http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/patches/merged/

Check http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/Linux-2.5.html before reporting known bugs that are also in mainline.

I'm also getting this error. Looking it up on Google points to earlier problems than 2.5.25, both with binutils and gcc. I've tried binutils 2.11, 2.12 and gcc 2.95.3, 2.96(RH 7.3), and 3.1. No combination seems to work.

It's a clash with the jiffies_to_clock_t stuff that went into 2.5.25, and the >497 day uptime wrap fix that went into my tree. I'll put up a -dj2 later today fixing this.

The -dj patch changes three occurances of minor in ixj.c to minor_no:

<-- snip -->

...
- printk("phone%d ioctl, cmd: 0x%x, arg: 0x%lx\n", minor, cmd, arg);
- if (minor >= IXJMAX) {
- clear_bit(board, &j->busyflags);
+ printk("phone%d ioctl, cmd: 0x%x, arg: 0x%lx\n", minor_no, cmd, arg);
+ if (minor_no >= IXJMAX) {
+ clear_bit(board, j->busyflags);
...
- printk("phone%d ioctl end, cmd: 0x%x, arg: 0x%lx\n", minor, cmd, arg);
- clear_bit(board, &j->busyflags);
+ printk("phone%d ioctl end, cmd: 0x%x, arg: 0x%lx\n", minor_no, cmd, arg);
+ clear_bit(board, j->busyflags);
...

<-- snip -->

This causes the following compile error:

<-- snip -->

<-- snip -->

After changing the three minor_no back to minor it compiles.

You only think this is a free country. Like the US the UK spends a lot of
time explaining its a free country because its a police state.
