      [PATCH] Updated Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt · 10414c6d
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Petr Baudis <pasky@ucw.cz>
      
      This patch (against 2.5.49) updates Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
      to the current state of kernel.  It was somehow abadonded lately, so I
      did my best, but it's possible that I still missed some of the options
      - thus, if you will notice your favourite boot option missing there,
      please speak up.  Note also that I will probably send up another update
      after few further kernel releases..
      
      Also, I attempted to introduce some uniform format to the entries, I
      added the format description where I was able to find it out and
      decypher it, and I also added gross amount of external links to the
      headers of the source files or to the README-like files, where the
      options are described into more degree.  This way, hopefully this file
      has a chance to be actually usable for the users ;-).
      
      There are almost certainly some entries which I missed, it was really a
      huge number and the main reason is that some of the boot options don't
      use the __setup macro, which I grep'd for.
      
      I hope the patch is ok, there should be no problems with it. Please apply.
      
      Note that this is the fourth submission of the patch - I took the
      opportunity and updated the patch from 2.5.48 to 2.5.49.  AFAIK mutt
      shouldn't mangle the patch in any way, so it should apply cleanly to
      your tree, Linus.

      [PATCH] kernel_stat cleanup · 580ae994
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@gamebox.net>
      
      This is a trivial cleanup removing two old unused macros from
      kernel_stat.h that made no sense with the new per-CPU kstat.
      Also included a few finicky coding style changes. Please apply.

      [PATCH] Allow for profile_buf size = kernel text size · 832eb7cf
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Ravikiran G Thirumalai <kiran@in.ibm.com>
      
      Allows the kernel profiler to use a shift value of zero for
      high-resolution profiling.
      
      So instead of overloading a shift of zero to mean "not profiling", use
      a separate flag for that.
      
      This means that anyone who is currently using "profile=0" to disable
      profiling has accidentally turned profiling on, so I added a printk.

      [PATCH] misc fixes · 3b99bbbf
      Andrew Morton authored
      - Missing parentheses around macro arg in __pte_offest()
      
      - struct page_state needs to be cacheline aligned (the first seven
        fields should be in the same cacheline)

      [PATCH] blk_run_queues() locking fix · 6e2db78b
      Andrew Morton authored
      blk_run_queues() places queues onto a local list without locking.  But
      interrupt-time activity in scsi_lib.c will replug these queues, which
      involves accessing that list which blk_run_queues() is walking.
      
      Net effect: list corruption and an oops.  Very hard to reproduce...
      
      So hold the lock while blk_run_queues() is walking the local list.
      
      The patch was acked by Jens.  It also uninlines a few largeish
      functions and adds a couple of WARN_ON()s in code which worried me.
