Summary of changes from v2.5.23 to v2.5.24 ============================================ Fix races in JFS threads. Timing window between JFS threads dropping a lock and going to sleep allowed a waker to send wake_up_process right before wakee slept. This resulted in the thread going to sleep indefinately. JFS: Yet another truncation fix. In the case where a large truncate requires multiple transactions, we were setting the COMMIT_Nolink flag too early, causing an assert to fire during the next transaction in the sequence. Update 8139cp net driver to support NIC-specific statistic dumps dl2k gige net driver update: * lock tx_coalesce==1 in 10/100 modes * switch driver to default to PIO (instead of MMIO) kbuild: Link netfilter from parent dirs No reason to link the netfilter subdirs from net/ instead of net/ipv[46], the result looks just cleaner ;) kbuild: clean up net/802/Makefile kbuild: clean up generated files in net/802 net/802/ contained some generated files + partially working rules on how to rebuild them. Fix the rules how to rebuild them and remove the generated files from the tree. kbuild: improve net/khttpd file generation Make the helper make_times_h output the code to stdout, so we can redirect it into the file we want easily. Make net_dev_init() an __initcall If you were looking to find where net_dev_init() is called, you wouldn't have guessed it's in drivers/block/genhd.c, would you? Nothing should break if the __initcall net_dev_init is called too late now, since register_netdevice() will call it for us in that case. kbuild: clean up drivers/scsi firmware generation, part 1 Teach the perl script to accept output filenames on the command lines, so we don't have to move the generated files afterwards (which isn't parallel make safe) kbuild: cleanup drivers/scsi firmware generation, part 2 Preprocess the input files directly instead of first copying them to a different name. kbuild: cleanup drivers/scsi firmware generation, part 3 Rename the shipped 53c.. firmware files to _shipped. Add a default rule for shipped files, which will just call _shipped to if no specific rule to generate the target exists. Rename the aic7xxx firmware to fit into this naming scheme. For now 53c... defaults to just using the shipped firmware. kbuild: Introduce $(obj), $(src) For separate source and object directories, Rules.make needs to know where the files live. For all the normal variables, $(obj-[ymn]) etc, it can figure that out by itself, but for explicit rules to generate files it needs help. So there $(obj)/target.o indicates that this file lives in the object directory, as opposed to $(src)/target.c, which lives in the source dir. For now $(obj) = $(src) = ., but convert some Makefiles to it already. kbuild: Shipped file fixes To generate the module versions for 53c700.o, we need the included generated header already. Improve the rule to copy shipped files into place. kbuild: Revert automatically building modules People are confused by "make vmlinux/bzImage/..." building modules at the same time. So revert to the old behavior. "make bzImage modules" builds bzImage and modules, using only one pass of descending into subdirs. "make" or "make all" builds a standard target of "vmlinux modules". On i386 this is extended to do "bzImage modules", which seems to be the most sensible default. ISDN: Make ISA-only drivers depend on CONFIG_ISA JFS does not need to set i_version. It is never used. Submitted by Manfred Spraul. IrDA update 1/2: cache-wait-data fixes o [CRITICA] Fix one instance were we forgot to clear LSAP cache o [CORRECT] Fix a bogus conversion to wait_event() The socket closure would never propagate to the app IrDA update 2/2: big header and initcall cleanup o [FEATURE] Use new kernel init/exit style, should fix static builds o [FEATURE] Reduce header dependancies Before After net/irda/.depend 14917 13617 B drivers/net/irda/.depend 16134 14293 B irda full recompile 3'13 3'10 kbuild: Fix net/llc/Makefile This wasn't quite merged up to the current kbuild. kbuild: Add $(obj), $(src) for generated files I suppose one can argue whether that is ugly or rather nice for documentary purposes, but make on its own cannot figure out where a file is supposed to live, so we have to help it. (For the targets handled by Rules.make the situation is different, there Rules.make knows what's source and what's object and can add prefixes as necessary, so the most of the Makefiles are actually not affected by this kind of change) For now, as $(obj) = $(src) = ., we only add "./", so the potential for breakage is rather small. [PATCH] export default_wake_function akpm pointed out that an EXPORT_SYMBOL is missing for default_wake_function. Fix UP compile by having the trivial cpu_online_map Don't remove zero-sized files. Some of them might be real. - this patch fixes the migration init to correctly work with the new hot-pluggable CPU enumeration method, and the possibility to not boot on CPU#0. (btw., i find RR's comment offensive. How can any code be called 'crap' just because the author of a new patch has not converted the code to the new assumptions yet? The original code was perfectly valid.) NTFS: 2.0.9 release. Decompression engine now uses a single buffer and other cleanups. - Remove unused variables left over after Rusty's patch to the decompression engine. - Change buffer size in ntfs_readdir()/ntfs_filldir() to use NLS_MAX_CHARSET_SIZE. - Miscellaneous minor cleanups to comments. NTFS: Fix typo. Exclusive access to JFS journal devices Use bd_claim/bd_release to guarentee exclusive access to the external log device. I also fixed a struct block_device leak once I touched that code (missing bdput() both in lmLogClose and the lmLogOpen error path) and sanitized the failure path labels. Submitted by Christoph Hellwig JFS: recalc_sigpending has no argument I've got to keep my 2.4 and 2.5 patches straight! JFS: fix fsync fsync is allowed to return early if datasync is set and the I_DIRTY_DATASYNC flags is cleared, not if either of those is true. Submitted by Christoph Hellwig JFS: Use new list_move function Submitted by Thunder Update 8139 net drivers for the following fixes: * fix big endia multi-cast filtering * fix 8139too ethtool media interface ISDN: Small fixes from -dj ISDN: Add #include

ISDN: Add drivers/isdn/hisax/avma1_cs.c from 2.4 This patch adds the PCMCIA client driver for the AVM A1/Fritz!PCMCIA ISDN cards, which has been in 2.4 for some time already. [PATCH] include in pcmcia drivers... The pcmcia drivers haven't been updated to include the new tqueue.h header when using tq_structs. I noticed the breakage when compiling i82365.c for my laptop, and took the time to modify all the drivers in that directory. [PATCH] Patch to fix all known linux/tqueue.h compile errors This fixes linux/tqueue.h compile errors in 2.5.23 that were found by Andy Pfiffer, Matthew Harrell and me. ISDN: Add #include to drivers/isdn/hisax/avma1_cs.c ISDN: s/ioremap_nocache/ioremap/g So the missing EXPORT_SYMBOL() for ioremap_nocache at least found some ISDN drivers which shouldn't have been using it in the first place. NTFS: 2.0.10 - There can only be 2^32 - 1 inodes on an NTFS volume. - Add check at mount time to verify that the number of inodes on the volume does not exceed 2^32 - 1, which is the maximum allowed for NTFS according to Microsoft. - Change mft_no member of ntfs_inode structure to be unsigned long. Update all users. This makes ntfs_inode->mft_no just a copy of struct inode->i_ino. But we can't just always use struct inode->i_ino and remove mft_no because extent inodes do not have an attached struct inode. Sparc64: Update for CPU hotplugging changes. drivers/net/sungem.c: Include linux/tqueue.h drivers/md/md.c: Fix typo, struct dname --> dev_name_t Make the find command ignore BitKeeper files throughout. This fixes the tags/TAGS/clean/etc targets. Add extended attribute syscall numbers to alpha port Add NIC-specific stats and register dumping to 8139too net driver. - small UP optimisation from Mikael Pettersson and James Bottomley, modified. [PATCH] IDE 93 - Revert patch number 92. It turned out to be broken behind hope. Personally I attribute this to the recent heat wave over here and apologize for the problems this may have caused. Turned out that my note about the change beeing dnagerous in the last change log was more then true... - Locking issues for ioctl handling. - Remove waiting_for_dma bit field. Use IDE_DMA bit flag instead. Apply this bit globally and not in the corresponding implementation functions. [PATCH] Convert cm206 to a tasklet Removes CM206_BH (patch approved by maintainer). Deletes the no-longer-used BH entries from the enum. Explicit numbers added so as not to destroy binary compatibility needlessly. [PATCH] Fusion driver update This upgrades the fusion driver - Provides support for the Ultra320 1030/1020 parts - Provides support for the PCI-X FC parts (919X/929X) - Provides proper support for high memory cases - Provides IA64 support - Adds kernels calls (pci_enable_device, pci_set_dma_mask, scsi_set_pci_device) for proper registration of PCI devics. - Adds New Error Handling support [PATCH] udpated 3ware driver from vendor. [PATCH] drivers/hotplug/cpqphp.h must include tqueue.h [PATCH] Don't lock array for START_ARRAY ... as autostart_array does it's own locking. ----------- Diffstat output ------------ ./drivers/md/md.c | 26 ++++++++++++++------------ 1 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) [PATCH] Md sync: Remove compiler warning that revealed a bug. When we abort a resync before we even started (because we were interrupted while waiting for a conflicting resync to finish) we should not wait or, particularly, do the closing sync_request (as we haven't even calculated max_sectors yet). [PATCH] Make ITERATE_MDDEV work on non-SMP For an SMP kernel, spin_lock() et.al. are functions. For a UP kernel, they are statements that must be terminated by a ';'. This is not quite the same thing, and hence spin_lock() cannot be using inside a parenthesised expession. This patch changes ITERATE_MDDEV to use gcc's "statement expressions" instead which has the benefit of making the conditionals more readable. [PATCH] nasty bug in free_pgtables() (for ia64) Strictly speaking, this patch is needed only for arches which use discontiguous virtual address bits for the PGD index. When we originally worked on this code (~ 2 years ago or so, in response to a bug report & patch from an Intel guy), I had myself convinced that the code is correct, but of course I missed the fact that: pgd_index(first) < pgd_index(last) does NOT imply that: first < last For example, with a 16KB page size on ia64, we might end up with: first = 6000100f80003fff => first_idx = 0x300 last = 60000fffffff8000 => last_idx = 0x3ff Note here that first_idx < last_idx even though first > last. This is because pgd_index() ignores bits 44..60. I suppose we could put the extra check inside #ifdef __ia64__, but that would be rather ugly and would really mean that Linux does not support discontiguous PGD indices. [PATCH] make kstack_depth_to_print and some APM stuff static Tridge has written a little utility (http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/junkcode/findstatic.pl) that (given a set of object files) works out a list of candidate finctions and variables that may be able to be made static. Obviously some hand checking is needed (different configs and/or architectures etc), but it seems useful. Here is my first patch using its outout. kstack_depth_to_print is used in many architectures, but only in one file in each. In some architectures it is declared and not used. It is not even clear why kstack_depth_to_print is not a #define. Tridge suggested that maybe you could change its value with a debugger ... The APM code has a function and a struct that can be static. [PATCH] dup_task_struct can be static dup_task_struct is defined and used only in kernel/fork.c. [PATCH] ext2 statics This patch just changes some things in ext2 to be static. [PATCH] 2.5.23: missing tqueue.h in cpia_pp.c There seems to be another missing tqueue.h, this time in the CPIA video driver. [PATCH] 2.5.23 i2c updates 1/4 [PATCH] 2.5.23 i2c updates 2/4 i2c-core.c:Leave LINUX_VERSION in kernel. Leave i2c_debug=1. Leave CONFIG names as in the kernel. Remove #ifdef MODULE_LICENSE around MODULE_LICENSE. i2c-dev.c:Remove #ifdef MODULE_LICENSE around MODULE_LICENSE. Remove compatibality code for < 2.4.0 i2c-proc.c: Print message on kmalloc failure. Leave ENOMEM as in kernel. Remove #ifdef MODULE_LICENSE around MODULE_LICENSE. Remove 2.2.19 compat code. [PATCH] 2.5.23 i2c updates 3/4 i2c-algo-bit.c: Leave kernel time_before/after_eq Remove #ifdef MODULE_LICENSE around MODULE_LICENSE. Remove #include since i2c.h has it now. i2c-algo-pcf.c: Remove #include since i2c.h has it now. Remove #ifdef MODULE_LICENSE around MODULE_LICENSE. Remove #include since i2c.h has it now. i2c/i2c-elektor.c: Leave kernel __exit pcf_isa_exit(void) Remove #ifdef MODULE_LICENSE around MODULE_LICENSE. i2c-elv.c: Leave kernel __exit bit_elv_exit(void) Remove #ifdef MODULE_LICENSE around MODULE_LICENSE. i2c-philips-par.c: Remove #ifdef MODULE_LICENSE around MODULE_LICENSE. i2c/i2c-velleman.c: Leave kernel __exit bit_velle_exit(void) Remove #ifdef MODULE_LICENSE around MODULE_LICENSE. Drop i2c-algo-8xx.[ch] deltas Drop i2c-algo-ppc405.[ch] deltas Drop i2c-pcf-epp.c deltas Drop i2c-ppc405.[ch] deltas Drop i2c-ppc405adap.h deltas Drop i2c-pport.c deltas Drop i2c-rpx.c deltas [PATCH] 2.5.23 i2c updates 4/4 i2c-elektor.c:Adding call to pcf_isa_init to i2c_pcfisa_init causes: i2c-elektor.o: In function `i2c_pcfisa_init': i2c-elektor.o(.text.init+0x95): undefined reference to `local symbol i2c-elektor.c: fix by removing __exit for inline compiling. [PATCH] Futex bugfixes. This uses page_cache_release() instead of put_page(), as it might be a pagecache page. [PATCH] Async Futex This patch adds a FUTEX_FD call, for opening a file descriptor attached to a futex, which can be used with poll, select or SIGIO. Rewritten so that closing fd unpins page, as per Linus's suggestion, and fixed not to call poll_wait with a spinlock as per Martin Wirth's sharp eyes. [PATCH] ipv6 statics This makes some more things in the ipv6 code static. Some of them may be wrong (or for futures) bu it looks pretty OK to me (and it builds). [PATCH] More __builtin_expect() cleanup in favour Changed files in the include/asm-ia64 directory to get rid of __builtin_expect() in favour of likely/unlikely. [PATCH] ALSA update this ALSA update contains - fixed dependencies for OSS Sequencer emulation code - fixed wrong verbose printk output - fixed possible oops in OSS PCM emulation code (silence) - added snd_timer_del() function - added integer64 support to control interface - AC'97 - cleanups for Cirrus Logic codecs (S/PDIF) - added PCM device for SB AWE synthesizer - added RME Hammerfall DSP Audio driver by Paul Davis - renamed rme9652_mem.o module to hammerfall_mem.o - device naming cleanups in snd-intel8x0 - RME32 driver updates - VIA8233 driver updates for VIA8233A - CS4281 code updated to support dual codecs - Korg1212 driver update (debugging) - YMFPCI - changed support for rear channel - improved PPC drivers - AWACS, KEYWEST, TUMBLER [PATCH] export ioremap_nocache to modules This patch exports ioremap_nocache to modules, used by at least some of the sound drivers.... [PATCH] preempt-safe do_softirq Attached patch makes do_softirq preempt-safe simply by moving the current CPU assignment a couple lines down below the interrupt disable. [PATCH] mark 3 variables as __initdata The attached patch marks the following variables with __initdata: arch/i386/kernel/mpparse.c :: static unsigned int num_processors arch/i386/kernel/smpboot.c :: static int smp_b_stepping arch/i386/kernel/smpboot.c :: static int max_cpus The data is static and only used by __init functions so can successfully be jettisoned after boot. Compiled and booted successfully on an SMP machine. I also set max_cpus to NR_CPUS instead of -1. Besides being the logically correct value and simplifying a loop elsewhere, this change allows NR_CPUS to be set to various values other than the normal 32 which is growing in utility with the hotplug CPU changes now in mainline. [PATCH] Fix bashisms in scripts_patch-kernel The following trivial patch makes the patch-kernel script executable by a bare bone POSIX shell like ash. Either that, or the interpreter line has to be changed to /bin/bash. The same patch applies to 2.4 (with some line offset). [PATCH] TRIVIAL EPERM -> EACCESS the following micro-patch changes ext[23]_ioctl to return EACCES (permission denied) instead of EPERM (operation not permitted) if the caller is not authorized to change the flags on a file. [PATCH] add unlikely() into add_timer() This micropatch adds unlikely() macro into add_timer() bug check code. Without this path gcc 3.1 makes bad thing reordering printk() into the middle of function body. [PATCH] ACPI warning fix [PATCH] Re: nbd.c warning fix [PATCH] fix lots of warnings about 'struct tty_driver' When compiling 2.5.20 (and ealier, likely) without procfs, the declaration for struct tty_driver is missing in proc_fs.h, causing many compiler warnings that are fixed by this patch. [PATCH] Fix SMP compilation with 'multiquad' driver The 2.4.18pre10 kernel, like many if its predecessors, can't compile the multiquad driver in an SMP kernel (maybe only as a module; it's been a long time since I wrote this fix). Here's a patch. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig EXPERIMENTAL misformed Symbol CONFIG_INTERMEZZO_FS depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does not say so in its banner in the usual way. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig OBSOLETE not EXPERIMENTAL Symbol CONFIG_ZNET depends on CONFIG_OBSOLETE, but its banner says it depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig choice default value The default value specified as the last word of the "choice" statement should be a unique abbreviation of one of the sub-prompts, not some random string never seen before. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig lowercase EXPERIMENTAL tag The convention is that symbols that depend on $CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL are marked in the banner with the string (EXPERIMENTAL). There are 4 cases where that string is correctly used but is lowercase instead of uppercase. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig missing EXPERIMENTAL (11_14) Two symbols CONFIG_ROADRUNNER and CONFIG_ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS depend on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but do not say so in their banners. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig missing EXPERIMENTAL (10_14) Symbol CONFIG_MIDI_EMU10K1 depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does not say so in its banner. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig missing EXPERIMENTAL (12_14) Symbol CONFIG_SONYPI depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does not say so in its banner. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig missing EXPERIMENTAL (14_14) Symbol CONFIG_VIDEO_MEYE depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does not say so in its banner. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig missing EXPERIMENTAL (13_14) Symbol CONFIG_SOUND_RME96XX depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does not say so in its banner. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig missing EXPERIMENTAL (1_14) Symbol CONFIG_ADFS_FS depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does not say so in its banner. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig missing EXPERIMENTAL (2_14) Four symbols CONFIG_ATM_CLIP, CONFIG_ATM_CLIP_NO_ICMP, CONFIG_ATM_LANE, and CONFIG_ATM_MPOA depend on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but do not say so in their banners. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig missing EXPERIMENTAL (3_14) Symbol CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UMEM depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does not say so in its banner. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig missing EXPERIMENTAL (4_14) Symbol CONFIG_CYCLOMX_X25 depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does not say so in its banner. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig missing EXPERIMENTAL (5_14) Two symbols CONFIG_PLX_HERMES and CONFIG_PCI_HERMES depend on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but do not say so in their banners. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig missing EXPERIMENTAL (6_14) Three symbols CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ATARAID, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ATARAID_PDC, and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ATARAID_HPT depend on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but do not say so in their banners. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig missing EXPERIMENTAL (7_14) Symbol CONFIG_ISDN_DRV_TPAM depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does not say so in its banner. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig missing EXPERIMENTAL (8_14) Symbol CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_NAND depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does not say so in its banner. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig missing EXPERIMENTAL (9_14) Symbol CONFIG_LDM_PARTITION depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL but does not say so in its banner. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig missing OBSOLETE (1_3) Symbol CONFIG_FMV18X depends on CONFIG_OBSOLETE but does not say so in its banner. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig missing OBSOLETE (2_3) again Symbol CONFIG_H8 depends on CONFIG_OBSOLETE but does not say so in its banner. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig missing OBSOLETE (3_3) Symbol CONFIG_SK_G16 depends on CONFIG_OBSOLETE but does not say so in its banner. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig sychronise banners (12_16) 1/5 definitions of CONFIG_PREEMPT have trivially different banners. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig sychronise banners (2_16) 2/5 definitions of CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR have trivially different banners. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig synchronise banners (10_16) 2/6 definitions of CONFIG_PCI have trivially different banners. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig synchronise banners (11_16) 1/3 definitions of CONFIG_PPP have trivially different banners. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig synchronise banners (13_16) 1/3 definitions of CONFIG_PSMOUSE have trivially different banners. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig synchronise banners (15_16) 2/4 definitions of CONFIG_SOFT_WATCHDOG have trivially different banners.

[PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig synchronise banners (14_16) 1/17 definitions of CONFIG_SCSI have trivially different banners. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig synchronise banners (1_16) 1/3 definitions of 64-bit CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF have trivially different banners. 1/3 definitions of CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF32 have trivially different banners. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig synchronise banners (3_16) 2/10 definitions of CONFIG_CD_NO_IDESCSI have trivially different banners. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig synchronise banners (4_16) 1/11 definitions of CONFIG_HOTPLUG have trivially different banners. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig synchronise banners (5_16) 1/3 definitions of CONFIG_MODVERSIONS have trivially different banners. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig synchronise banners (6_16) 1/16 definitions of CONFIG_NETDEVICES have trivially different banners. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig synchronise banners (7_16) 1/2 definitions of CONFIG_NUMA have trivially different banners. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig synchronise banners (8_16) 1/3 definitions of CONFIG_PARPORT_1284 have trivially different banners. [PATCH] PATCH 2.5: kconfig synchronise banners (9_16) 1/2 definitions of CONFIG_PC_KEYB have trivially different banners. [PATCH] PATCH: kconfig misspelled symbols Two symbols used in drivers/net/wan/Config.in are misspelled. CONFIG_PPP_MULTLINK should be CONFIG_PPP_MULTILINK CONFIG_PPP_SYNCTTY should be CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY [PATCH] PATCH: kconfig choice defaults (2_2) The format for the "choice" statement is: choice 'prompt' "{sub-prompt sub-symbol}*" default-value and the following is *not* legal config language (note the positioning of the closing double quote): choice 'prompt' "{sub-prompt sub-symbol}* default-value" It only happens to work because of a combination of accidental side effects of the current parsers: * unpaired sub-words inside the 2nd word are silently ignored * the missing last word is silently treated as if empty [PATCH] PATCH: kconfig spurious shell metacharacters (1_2) The config language is *not* shell. The construct "[ foo ] || [ bar ]" is legal in shell but not in the config language, where we should use the equivalent "[ foo -o bar ]" [PATCH] PATCH: kconfig unbalanced menu end Removed an "endmenu" for which there was no opening "mainmenu_option". [PATCH] PATCH: kconfig unbalanced menu start Removed a spurious menu definition which was both a duplicate and had no matching "endmenu". [PATCH] PATCH: kconfig wrong arch symbols Three arch-determining symbols in drivers/mtd/maps/Config.in are wrong. They have apparently been generated using the sensible pattern "CONFIG_FOO" for an architecture "foo"; unfortunately the architectures are not sensible. CONFIG_SPARC should be CONFIG_SPARC32 CONFIG_I386 should be CONFIG_X86 CONFIG_SH should be CONFIG_SUPERH [PATCH] typo in jazz_esp.c [PATCH] typo in smt.h [PATCH] Typo in radeonfb.c printk() [PATCH] trivial: reiserfs whitespace [PATCH] Trivial TAP_TUN patch to remove minmax macros In favour of those now in kernel.h.. [PATCH] Consolidate sys_pause 14 of our 17 architectures define sys_pause exactly the same way. The other three don't define it at all. I assume glibc translates pause() into sigsuspend() or something. [PATCH] Re: TRIVIAL: William Lee Irwin III: buddy system comment [PATCH] Re: convert BAD_RANGE() to an inline function [PATCH] beautify nr_free_pages() nr_free_pages() is overly verbose. The following is perhaps clearer and gets to the point with fewer lines of code and inside of 80 columns. [PATCH] remove unnecessary headers from mm_page_alloc.c page_alloc.c does not use either slab.h or swapctl.h. This removes the inclusion of those headers from page_alloc.c [PATCH] remove unnecessary parentheses from expand() Not sure why I forgot to do this, but here is a small bit of tidying up of some leftover parentheses from the memlist macro removal. The parentheses are just noise and should go. [PATCH] 3c509.c - 2_2 This patch makes sure the 3c509 module license is always GPL. Currently the MODULE_LICENSE() marco is only used when CONFIG_ISAPNP or CONFIG_ISAPNP_MODULE is defined. I have moved MODULE_LICENSE() to the #ifdef MODULE section at the bottom of 3c509.c. Same is true for the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro. [PATCH] namespace.c - compiler warning init_rootfs() (from ramfs) doesn't appear in any header file. I didn't see any that looked like a good home, so lets put a prototype at the top of fs/namespace.c. This only use of this function is in namespace.c. [PATCH] uninline elv_next_request() Uninline elv_next_request() and move it to elevator.c, where it belongs. Because of CURRENT declaration, this actually saves lots of space. From Andrew. [PATCH] Another RAID-5 XOR assembly fix The last changes did trigger another latent bug in the inline assembly. akpm noticed it because he compiles his kernels with frame pointers. Fix up various odds and ends after big merges.. Linux version 2.5.24
