      kbuild/all arch: Use filechk rule for offsets generation · a1f0f3c9
      Sam Ravnborg authored
      Introduced filechk for all architectures that previously used
      update-if-changed.
      No longer add asmoffsets.h.tmp to CLEAN_FILES.
      This is a private file to the filechk rule

      kbuild: Do not clutter output with make -jN · 6374f649
      Sam Ravnborg authored
      Added a new rule filechk used to check when a generated file
      actually is changed. If there is no actual changes the file
      is left without updating the timestamp.
      When building a kernel from scratch two printouts occurs:
        CHK      file-to-generate
        UPD      file-to-generate
      
      The first line tell that kbuild checks the file, second line tell that
      the file is being updated (or created).
      On successive runs only the first line is printed.
      Output is the same in verbose and non-verbose mode.
      
      This replaces the former update-if-changed which has been deleted.
      generate-asm-offsets.h has been renamed as well.
      All users are updated in next patch.
      Output when generating compile.h follow above style

      [PATCH] more "interactivity changes", sched-B2 · 74c72d80
      Ingo Molnar authored
       - fix a (now-) bug in kernel/softirq.c, it did a wakeup outside any
         atomic regions, which falsely identified random processes as a
         non-atomic wakeup, and which causes random priority boost to be
         distributed.
      
       - reset the initial idle thread's priority back to PRIO_MAX after doing
         the wakeup_forked_process() - correct preemption relies on this.
      
       - update current->prio immediately after a backboost.
      
       - clean up effective_prio() & sleep_avg calculations so that there are
         fewer RT-task special cases.  This has the advantage of the sleep_avg
         being maintained even for RT tasks - this could be advantegous for
         tasks that briefly enter/exit RT mode.

      [PATCH] bootsect removal · 72574bb3
      H. Peter Anvin authored
      This is the "boot sector removal" patch for i386 updated for Linux
      2.5.63-bk7.  The only change against the 2.5.59 version is that the
      FDOPTS Makefile variable, which lets one create a floppy image with
      arbitrary kernel options, has been merged from the x86-64 version, and
      the comments have been updated.
      
      The patch removes the in-kernel boot sector, which these days rarely
      work correctly (it only supports up to 1 MB kernels, and only work on
      legacy floppies -- not on IDE or USB devices, nor on any kind of
      emulated devices like El Torito), replaces it with a placeholder stub,
      and sets up the Makefile targets to create floppies or floppy images
      using SYSLINUX.  The FDOPTS Makefile variable can be used to set
      kernel command line options (thanks to a suggestion by Andi Kleen.)
      
      Note that the same change has already been applied to the x86-64
      architecture.  The last hunk of the patch corrects a comment in that
      architecture.

      [PATCH] Fix up pci_scan_bridge and friends · 7deaf3b8
      Russell King authored
        Now we tackle pci_add_new_bus and pci_scan_bridge.  The hotplug code
        currently uses this, but I'd like it to die off; pci_scan_bridge()
        should be used to scan behind bridges.  This may mean hotplug needs
        some changes to pci_scan_bridge - if so, we need to find out what
        changes are required and fix it.
      
        pci_alloc_child_bus() does what pci_add_new_bus() did, except it
        doesn't attach the new bus to the parents list of child buses.  The
        only way this bus can be reached from the parent bus is by scanning
        the parents devices list, and locating a device with a non-NULL
        subordinate bus.  The only code which should be doing this is the
        PCI code.
      
        Since the new bus will have an empty list head for bus->node, we can
        detect unattached buses prety easily.  (see pci-3.diff.)
      
        pci_scan_bridge() changes slightly - we use our new pci_scan_child_bus()
        function from pci-3.diff, which doesn't attach devices to the global
        tree.  This means callers of pci_scan_child_bus() and pci_scan_bridge()
        (ie, hotplug) will need to call pci_bus_add_devices().

      [PATCH] Convert setup-bus resource allocation to use bus->devices · 5819c31c
      Russell King authored
      - Convert setup-bus.c resource allocation to scan bus->devices rather
        than bus->children.  As noted previously, newly discovered child
        buses will not be on the parents list of children buses, so when
        we're trying to assign resources, we need to scan the bus for
        devices with subordinate buses rather than using the list of children
        buses.

      [PATCH] Only add devices to bus->devices while scanning... · 64964f5b
      Russell King authored
        The pci_find* functions search using the following lists:
              bus->children   (for subordinate buses)
              pci_root_buses  (for all root buses)
              pci_devices     (for devices)
      
        This leaves one list which we can add devices to without any drivers
        finding the new devices before we've finished with them.
      
      - initialise bus->node list head.
      
      - pci_scan_slot will scan the specified slot, and add the discovered
        devices to the bus->devices list only.  These devices will not
        appear on the global device list, and do not show in sysfs, procfs.
        pci_scan_slot returns the number of functions found.  If you want
        to find the devices, you have to scan bus->devices and look for
        devices where list_empty(&dev->global_list) is true.
      
      - new function "pci_bus_add_devices" adds newly discovered devices
        to the global device lists, and handles the sysfs and procfs
        stuff, making the devices available to drivers.  All our buses
        which have an empty list head are treated as "new" (since they
        are not attached to the parent buses list of children) and are
        also added.  Currently, no buses will be in this state when this
        function is called.
      
      - new function "pci_scan_child_bus" scans a complete bus, building
        a list of devices on bus->devices only, performing bus fixups
        via pcibios_fixup_bus() and scanning behind bridges.  It does
        make devices externally visible.
      
      - pci_do_scan_bus retains its original behaviour - ie, it scans
        and makes devices available immediately.

      - Add "dev->multifunction" to indicate whether this is a multifunction

      - Run header fixups before inserting the new pci device into any

      - Convert some more stuff to use the list_for_each* macro(s).
