      [PATCH] fix console ordering default · b85b717c
      Andrew Morton authored
      The conversion of the console registration to an initcall-style thing has
      broken lots of people's setups.  It is now dependent upon linkage order and
      if you have both CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE and CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE, no boot
      messages come out on the screen because the kernel is selecting the serial
      console first.
      
      It can be fixed by specifying console=tty0, but nobody is doing that.
      
      We can fix it up by placing drivers/char/ in front of drivers/serial/ in
      linkage order.

      [PATCH] x86-64 updates for 2.5.64-bk3 · a104ba57
      Andi Kleen authored
      Make x86-64 boot again after the INITIAL_JIFFIES changes
      and some bug fixes. Also some work for NPTL.
      
       - Merge with i386/2.5.64-bk3
       - Fix memory leak in copy_thread
       - arch_prctl uses GDT for base if possible. Cleanup.
       - clone supports bases >32bit for SETTLS etc. %fs hardcoded now.
       - new ptrace support for 64bit TLS
       - Disable (set|get)_thread_* for 64bit processes.
       - Audit arch/x86_64 for jiffies wrap issues.
       - Fix initial jiffies problem (that caused hanging kernels)
       - FIx a few 32bit emulation bugs (sigaltstack, sigqueue)
       - Some cleanup from Pavel
       - Should compile again as UP
       - Shrink size a bit by not putting exception tables into object files.
       - Fix compilation with gcc 3.3 :- force inlining when needed
       - Work around 2.5.64-bk3 console init bug.
       - Fix some alignments in assembly code

      [PATCH] remove devfs_only() · c8eddecf
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      Rationale:  devfs_only does nothing but disabling {un,}register_blkdev
      and {un,}register_chrdev.  {un,}register_blkdev already do nothing but
      adding it's name argument to a lookup table for the __bdevname and
      /proc/device output so this use is already bogus.  The disabling of
      the character device per-major arrays can work in practice but is
      useless as any driver relying on it can't be used on non-devfs systems.

      [PATCH] revert "noirqbalance still doesn't do anything" · 5672553c
      Andrew Morton authored
      This recent patch caused Nick Piggin's 2xPIII VIA686B chipset machine into an
      interrupts-off lockup during IDE probing.
      
      We don't really know why - it might be because an interrupt is delivered to a
      secondary which doesn't expect it.
      
      I have a second patch from Zwane which solves the same problem in a different
      way, but until that's had some wider testing I suggest we just back off the
      original.

       - Fix my email address to one which reaches me ;-)

       - Add module.h.
       - Sort includes alphabetically.
       - Move EXPORT_SYMBOL from ksyms.c to locks.c.
       - Simplify locks_conflict().

      Use a fixed per-cpu SYSENTER_MSR_ESP value by having the sysenter · e3db4852
      Linus Torvalds authored
      entry routine load the real ESP0 off that per-cpu stack. Make this
      even faster by putting the sysenter stack in the per-CPU TSS, so
      that we can use the tss->esp0 value directly (which we have to
      update on task switches anyway).
      
      CAREFUL! This needs very subtle code for debug and NMI exceptions,
      to make sure we don't run with the sysenter stack in any real kernel
      code!

      Move "used FPU status" into new non-atomic thread_info->status field. · 450b4497
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This allows us to avoid having to use atomic updates for the lazy FP
      status setting, since we don't have to worry about other CPU's racing
      on the fields.
      
      Also, fix x86 FP state after fork() by making sure the FP is unlazied
      _before_ we copy the state information. Otherwise, if a process did a
      fork() while holding the FP state lazily in the registers, the child
      would incorrectly unlazy bogus state.

      [PATCH] NUMA scheduler fixup · f8546efb
      Martin J. Bligh authored
      From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
      
      This cleans up the NUMA scheduler to have separate triggers for idle
      and busy rebalance ratio, preventing some complex interactions where
      idle cpus can cause busy ones to busy rebalance more often. The core
      functionality of this patch is rebalace_tick().
      
      Tested in -mjb tree for over 1 month ... no problems at all found -
      retested on top of 64-bk3 with new scheduler updates.

      [PATCH] fix a warning in eepro100.c · 5871d7a1
      Andrew Morton authored
      Remove the unneeded forward declaration of eepro100_remove_one().
      
      It is defeating the __attribute__(unused) tag on the definition of
      eepro100_remove_one() and is causing a "defined but not used" warning.

      [PATCH] revert the "remove kernel_flag" patch · d7ed858e
      Andrew Morton authored
      With CONFIG_SMP=n, CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y we get many
      undefined refs to kernel_flag.
      
      This is because spinlock debugging works on uniprocessor kernels now, and it
      stores state inside the spinlock structure to do this.
      
      Having working spinlock debugging on UP kernels seems more important than
      saving four bytes, so...

      This tiny patch removes the new compiler warning from my build - the new
      console_initcall mechanism seems to require int from console_init ...  I made

      [PATCH] rpc_delete_timer race fix · 24b6f31e
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Ulrich Weigand <weigand@immd1.informatik.uni-erlangen.de>
      
      Fix a race wherein timer_pending() returns false, but the timer handler is
      actually running on another CPU.  We need to call del_timer_sync()
      regardless, so we wait for completion of the handler.
