      Fix 'ALIGN()' macro, take 2 · 2ea58144
      Linus Torvalds authored
      You wouldn't think that doing an ALIGN() macro that aligns something up
      to a power-of-two boundary would be likely to have bugs, would you?
      
      But hey, in the wonderful world of mixing integer types, you have to be
      careful.  This just makes sure that the alignment is interpreted in the
      same type as the thing to be aligned.
      
      Thanks to Roland Dreier, who noticed that the amso1100 driver got broken
      by the previous fix (that just extended the mask to "unsigned long", but
      was still broken in "unsigned long long" - it just happened to be the
      same on 64-bit architectures).

      [PATCH] Fix incorrent type of flags in <asm/semaphore.h> · c9c3b86f
      Kyle McMartin authored
      I still think using BUILD_BUG_ON() is unacceptable, especially given how
      vague the error message was.

      Revert "[PATCH] Enforce "unsigned long flags;" when spinlocking" · b8e6ec86
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit ee3ce191, since it
      broke on at least ARM, MIPS and PA-RISC due to complicated header file
      dependencies.
      
      Conflicts in include/linux/spinlock.h (due to the "nested" variety
      fixes) fixed up by hand.
