      [PATCH] make add_to_swap_cache() static · 8dae6768
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
      
      Make add_to_swap_cache static, it's only used by read_swap_cache_async;
      and since that has just done a GFP_HIGHUSER allocation, surely it's
      better for add_to_swap_cache to use GFP_KERNEL than GFP_ATOMIC.

      [PATCH] permit page unmapping if !CONFIG_SWAP · 09efe93d
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
      
      Raised #endif CONFIG_SWAP in shrink_list, it was excluding
      try_to_unmap of file pages.  Suspect !CONFIG_MMU relied on
      that to suppress try_to_unmap, added SWAP_FAIL stub for it.

      [PATCH] add flush_cache_page() to install_page() · 3f31141c
      Andrew Morton authored
      install_page() needs to run flush_cache_page() prior to overwriting an
      already-established pte.

      [PATCH] slab: fix off-by-one in size calculation · 16d99651
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>
      
      Brian spotted a stupid bug in the slab initialization:
      
      If multiple objects fit into one cacheline, then the allocator ignores
      SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN and squeezes the objects into the same cacheline.  The
      implementation contains an off by one error and thus doesn't work correctly:
      For Athlon optimized kernels, the 32-byte slab uses 64 byte of memory.

      [PATCH] POSIX timers interface long/int cleanup · 9d3488a8
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Eric Piel <Eric.Piel@Bull.Net>
      
      Fixes some long/int confusion on 64-bit machines which was causing failures
      on ia64 - we end up trying to set bits in the 32-63 range on an int and the
      kernel locks up.
      
      Also cleans up idr.h.
      
      George has acked this change.

      [PATCH] initcall debug code · a3fa4e81
      Andrew Morton authored
      The patch is designed to help locate where the kernel is dying during the
      startup sequence.
      
      - Boot parameter "initcall_debug" causes the kernel to print out the
        address of each initcall before calling it.
      
        The kallsyms tables do not cover __init sections, so printing the
        symbolic version of these symbols doesn't work.  They need to be looked up
        in System.map.
      
      - Detect whether an initcall returns with interrupts disabled or with a
        locking imbalance.  If it does, complain and then try to fix it up.
