      The irq vector offset should spread the irq's out evenly, which · f2898927
      Linus Torvalds authored
      implies that it should vary between 0-7, not any further (the
      higher bits are done by updating current_vector by 8).
      
      This also means that we don't have any overflow condition.

      [PATCH] generic HDLC update · 80d316b7
      Krzysztof Halasa authored
      This version fixes:
      - missing rtnl_lock()/rtnl_unload() bug on unregister_hdlc_device
      - N2, C101: interrupt handler now works under high IRQ load from other
        devices (with previous versions, the IRQ processing for the card could
        sometimes stop after reaching "work limit")
      
      This is production-tested on devices I have access to (N2, C101, PC300,
      PCI200SYN).

      [PATCH] Disable irqbalance for single cpu SMP configurations · 00c6dc1c
      Zwane Mwaikambo authored
      This patch disables irqbalance and doesn't spawn a kernel thread for
      systems which run SMP kernels and only have one online cpu.

      [PATCH] kill blk_queue_empty() · 68132d89
      Jens Axboe authored
      This finally kills of blk_queue_empty().  This is similar to the patch I
      recently sent to fix the SCSI logic as well.  A lot of drivers are doing
      this in our core, mainly because that is the way they always did it:
      
      start_queue:
      	if (blk_queue_empty(q))
      		return;
      
      	rq = elv_next_request(q);
      	if (!rq)
      		return;
      
      Patch simply removes the blk_queue_empty() check, and adds a check for
      !rq return from elv_next_request() if the driver didn't already do that.
      
      Additionally, the AS io scheduler can return NULL from
      elv_next_request() if it thinks this is best. This way we are also
      prepared for that to work well.
      
      Patch was done by Nick Piggin.

      [PATCH] x86-64 merge · 2ba74897
      Andi Kleen authored
      Make it compile again and various cleanups and a few bug fixes.  Only
      changes x86-64 specific files.
      
      Most of it are S3 suspend changes from Pavel and comment spelling fixes
      from Steven Cole.
      
      - Remove now obsolete check_cpu function
      - Fix sys_ioctl prototype
      - Small optimization - use SYSCALL for 32bit signal handling.
      - Fix S3 suspend handling and split into individual files like i386 (Pavel)
      - Merge from i386 (pci fixes etc.)
      - Set correct paging attributes for IOMMU aperture
      - Fix disable apic option

      [PATCH] Signal invalid ipc operation with ENOSYS · e7507c16
      Ulrich Drepper authored
      The ipc multiplexer syscall on x86 currently returns EINVAL for a
      non-existing sub-opcode.  This logical but is a problem with the
      introduction of new operations (like semtimedop).  Now EINVAL can mean
      "no such operation" and "invalid parameter".  To avoid such problems in
      future, could you apply the attached patch?

      [PATCH] oprofile doesn't compile with CONFIG_MODULES=n · 1f935de0
      John Levon authored
      The semantically correct approach is for register_module_notifier not to
      exist at all.  That way is #ifdef hell.
      
      So this just makes it an empty function (and also adds a missing
      comment).

      [PATCH] linux-2.5.66-signal-cleanup.patch · da334d91
      Roland McGrath authored
      Here is the cleanup patch I promised back in February.  Sorry it took a
      while.
      
      The effects should be purely cosmetic in 2.5.66.  However, the new
      interface for the proper way to send thread-specific of process-global
      signals from inside the kernel is needed for correct implementation of
      some fixes to timer stuff that Ulrich told me about.
      
      This cleans up some obsolete comments and macros in kernel/signal.c,
      restores send_sig_info to its original behavior, and adds a global entry
      point send_group_sig_info.  I checked all the uses of send_sig and
      send_sig_info and changed a few to send_group_sig_info.
      
      I think it would be cleanest if the whole mess of *_sig* entry points were
      reduced to two or three, but I did the change that minimized the number of
      callers I had to fix up.
      
      There should be no discernible difference, since the 2.5.66 send_sig_info
      function did group semantics for those signals by number already.  The only
      exception to that is pdeath_signal, which I guess can be any signal number
      but I deemed ought to be process-wide.
      
      I did not change any of the calls using SIGKILL, though that does have
      process-wide semantics.  There is no need to change it since SIGKILL always
      kills the whole group, though the code path for send_sig(SIGKILL,...) calls
      in multithreaded processes will be different now.

      [PATCH] bk - fix oprofile for pm driver register · 7777d006
      John Levon authored
      OK, so I screwed up - didn't notice the late_initcall() that was
      introduced, which was obviously bogus. This one should build OK for the
      module case. I've tested insmod/rmmod alongside a mounted sysfs.
      
      I think the built-in case is OK: oprofile/ is after kernel/ in the link
      order. I tested that too.

      [PATCH] acpi compile fix · 99686994
      Andrew Morton authored
      ACPI is performing a spin_lock() on a `void *'.  That's OK when spin_lock is
      implemented via an inline function.  But when it is implemented via macros
      it causes compile-time breakage.
      
      So cast it to the right type. It really should be fixed not to use opaque
      handles, though.

      [PATCH] IPMI driver version 19 release · b1ffe92e
      Corey Minyard authored
      This fixes some performance problems.  Some vendors implement firmware
      updates over IPMI, and this speeds up that process quite a bit.
      
       * Improve the "send - wait for response - send -wait for response -
         etc" performance when using high-res timers.  Before, an ~10ms delay
         would be added to each message, because it didn't restart the timer
         if nothing was happing when a new message was started.
      
       * Add some checking for leaked messages.

      [PATCH] smp_call_function needs mb() · 856eeb53
      Zwane Mwaikambo authored
      We really need a memory barrier in smp_call_function(), so that the
      other cpu's get the updated value when they get IPI'd immediately
      afterwards.
      
      This seems to be true on some old (and arguably broken) hardware where
      the IPI generation and reception doesn't synchronize enough.
