      [PATCH] remove size_t-based printk warnings · 605102e5
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: "Randy.Dunlap" <rddunlap@osdl.org>
      
      This patch removes warnings on non-matching parameter types to printk
      and incorrect function types (n_hdlc).

      [PATCH] add context switch counters · a776ac8d
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Peter Chubb <peterc@gelato.unsw.edu.au>
      
      Currently, the context switch counters reported by getrusage() are
      always zero.  The appended patch adds fields to struct task_struct to
      count context switches, and adds code to do the counting.
      
      The patch adds 4 longs to struct task struct, and a single addition to
      the fast path in schedule().

      [PATCH] do_no_page() rss accounting fix · e0f0d9ef
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Jaroslav Kysela <perex@suse.cz>
      
      The do_no_page() function in mm/memory.c does accounting for reserved pages
      (++mm->rss), but in zap_pte_range() we don't decrement rss if the page was
      reserved.
      
      So don't account for PageReserved pages in the rss.  (Maybe it would be
      better to fix zap_pte_range in the opposite direction..)

      [PATCH] kill CONFIG_KCORE_AOUT · e23a1220
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Adrian Bunk <bunk@fs.tum.de>
      
      Remove CONFIG_KCORE_AOUT: the ability to present /proc/kcore in a.out
      format.
      
      I've checked with various arch maintainers.  It won't be missed.

      [PATCH] Fix build with CONFIG_KCORE_AOUT · 09952a58
      Andrew Morton authored
      We get a linkage error with CONFIG_KCORE_AOUT because there is no
      implementation of kclist_add() and kclist_del().
      
      Also fix a warning in the a.out version of read_kcore().
      
      Maybe we should just remove kcore a.out support.  m68knommu and h8300 are
      setting CONFIG_KCORE_AOUT in their defconfigs though.

      [PATCH] Fix typo in #ifdef for ext2 xattr support · b2d627ee
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>
      
      This patch corrects a typo in an ifdef that enables xattr operations for
      special files in the ext2 code; otherwise, extended attributes cannot be
      obtained or set on such inodes.

      [PATCH] Rework SELinux binprm hooks · 081bb1e6
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>
      
      This patch reworks the SELinux binprm hook functions to use a security
      structure for the linux_binprm rather than directly stuffing the security
      identifier into the void* security field.  It also performs some cleanup of
      the SELinux binprm hook functions, and one miscellaneous fix.

      [PATCH] Fix ext3 htree corruption on big-endian platforms · e2d964e6
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Franz Sirl <Franz.Sirl-kernel@lauterbach.com>
      
      current bk 2.6.0 corrupts my ext3 filesystems, usually in the RESYNC dir
      during a bk pull.  Checking the recent changes I noticed that the one in
      fs/ext3/namei.c misses an endian conversion.  The attached patch fixes that
      and works fine for me since 2 days now on PPC.

      [PATCH] do_no_page() fix · cfbb8488
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: David Mosberger <davidm@napali.hpl.hp.com>,
      	"Sharma, Arun" <arun.sharma@intel.com>
      
      The truncate race fix assumed that a non-zero vma->vm_ops->nopage implies a
      non-zero vma->vm_file.
      
      The ia64 x86 emulation code breaks this assumption, so teach do_no_page() to
      handle it.

      Change the permissions on /proc/kallsyms.  As David M-T points out,
      it's nice for analysis tools not to need root.  Place
      cond_resched() to avoid starvation problems on non-preempt.

      hardware.
      
      This patch solves the problem.

      This patch causes a regression: if CONFIG_PCI is not set, it doesn't compile
      anymore. Here's a fix. I also killed a dead variable and its corresponding

      [PATCH] zoran: correct name field breakage · 067a2ed6
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Ronald Bultje <rbultje@ronald.bitfreak.net>
      
      I suddenly noticed that 2.6.0-test4 seems to have removed the struct
      device->name field, apparently for memory consumption reasons. Linus
      changed this to pci_name((zr)->pci_dev) in my driver, and that's almost
      correct, except that it is the PCI device ID, and I'm not supposed to
      touch it. Also, since it's only 4 bytes, all my device names now show
      like 'DC1' (this should be 'DC10plus') and alike.
      
      The attached patch fixes this by going back to the behaviour that we
      used in 2.4.x: we use a separate name field in our private driver
      struct.

      [PATCH] zoran: add release callback · b8c0b00f
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Ronald Bultje <rbultje@ronald.bitfreak.net>
      
      This patch adds a release callback which frees the video_device struct.
      This is needed to prevent freeing memory before it's not in use anymore,
      as described in http://lwn.net/Articles/36850/. Without this, the driver
      will give a warning when loaded. It might crash when unloading (see
      article), too. The video4linux patch (by Gerd Knorr) was accepted a week
      (or 2?) ago, but I forgot to adapt my driver to it.

      This patch renames the debug symbol to zr_debug because debug is already
      defined somewhere else. Without it, it will cause a symbol conflict when
      compiling this driver statically into the kernel. This was noticed by
