Patch by Keith Owens, with slight modifications.
His description:

The problem is net/802/Makefile which includes p8022 for any of
CONFIG_LLC, CONFIG_TR, CONFIG_IPX or CONFIG_ATALK.  p8022 calls
llc_register_sap which is in ext8022.o, that file is built by
net/core/Makefile but only for CONFIG_LLC.  It worked before because of
the wrong test in net/core/Makefile which always built ext8022.o.

"make bzImage && sudo make install" had the problem that during
the "sudo make install" the build system would notice that the information
in include/linux/compile.h is not accurate (it says "compiled by <user>",
but we are root), thus causing compile.h to be updated and leading to
some recompiles.

We now only update "compile.h" if the current user is the owner of
include/linux/autoconf.h, i.e. the user who did the "make *config". So the
above sequence will correctly state "compiled by <user>".

The patch below consolidates some duplicate code, reduces some
indentation, and adds a freeing of a page in mem_read() that could be left
unfreed, as far as I can see.

make cpqarray and cciss use these

Heading Rusty off at the pass...

This also changes and array initialiser...

get_spare recently became static and no-one told md_k.h

Sync_sbs tries to access the ->sb for the first rdev of an mddev.
This can oops as the wrong arg is given to list_entry, and also
if a define was faound to be failed, as failed devices have their ->sb
removed.  But that removal isn't necessary, so now an rdev will always
have an ->sb.

Define container_of which cast from member to struct with some type checking.

This is much like list_entry but is cearly for things other than lists.

List_entry now uses container_of.

Dawson Engler's Stanford Checker reported this missing unlock to
LKML 11 July (amongst "56 potential lock/unlock bugs in 2.5.8").

Found by Simon Trimmer <simon@veritas.com>: shmem_file_write
failure path duplicates kunmap, causing oops holding kmap_lock.

Trivial: vfs_link in 2.5 checks S_ISDIR first, shmem_link
need not repeat it, but test crept back in at some stage.

Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> reported "Bug with shared
memory" to LKML 14 May: hang due to schedule in truncate_list_pages
called from .... shm_destroy holding shm_lock spinlock.  shm_destroy
needs that lock for shm_rmid, but it can be safely unlocked once link
from id to shp has been removed.

Here is a quick fix.  I would like to synchronize with the irq handler
changes as well.  Becouse right now I know that preemption is killing
the disk subsystem when moving data between disks using different
request queues...  In esp.  It get's me in to do_request() with a queue
in unplugged state.  (Not everything is my fault, after all :-).

 - init thread needs to have preempt_count of 1 until sched_init().
   (William Lee Irwin III)
 - clean up the irq-mask macros. (Linus)
 - add barrier() to irq_enter() and irq_exit(). (based on Oleg Nesterov's
   comment.)
 - move the irqs-off check into preempt_schedule() and remove
   CONFIG_DEBUG_IRQ_SCHEDULE.
 - remove spin_unlock_no_resched() and comment the affected places more
   agressively.
 - slab.c needs to spin_unlock_no_resched(), instead of spin_unlock(). (It
   also has to check for preemption in the right spot.) This should fix
   the memory corruption.
 - irq_exit() needs to run softirqs if interrupts not active - in the
   previous patch it ran them when preempt_count() was 0, which is
   incorrect.
 - spinlock macros are updated to enable preemption after enabling
   interrupts. Besides avoiding false positive warnings, this also
 - fork.c has to call scheduler_tick() with preemption disabled -
   otherwise scheduler_tick()'s spin_unlock can preempt!
 - irqs_disabled() macro introduced.
 - [ all other local_irq_enable() or sti instances conditional on
     CONFIG_DEBUG_IRQ_SCHEDULE are to fix false positive warnings. ]
 - fix buggy in_softirq(). Fortunately the bug made the test broader,
   which didnt result in algorithmical breakage, just suboptimal
   performance.
 - move do_softirq() processing into irq_exit() => this also fixes the
   softirq processing bugs present in apic.c IRQ handlers that did not
   test for softirqs after irq_exit().
 - simplify local_bh_enable().

Amiga Zorro bus updates
 - Bring APUS Zorro bus announcement in sync with the m68k version
 - Fix typo in Zorro device generator name
 - Kill duplicate ] in Zorro device ID database
 - Include <asm/io.h> instead of duplicating definitions from <asm/io.h>

console.wait_key was removed

M68k VT updates:
  - Include <linux/vt_kern.h> instead of copying the kd_mksound() prototype
  - Lots of stuff depends on CONFIG_VT:
      o SYSRQ_KEY
      o kd_mksound()
      o mach_keyb_init()
      o mach_kbdrate()
      o mach_kbd_leds()
      o mach_kbd_translate()
      o mach_sysrq_xlate()
      o Atari keyboard and joystick drivers
  - There's no need to provide dummy routines for kbd{rate,_leds}()
  - dummy_con depends on CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE
