      [PATCH] Tasklet cleanup · 2c6e92ad
      Rusty Russell authored
      This makes tasklet_vec and tasklet_hi_vec static inside softirq.c, and
      makes them __per_cpu_data.

      [PATCH] Futex update. · facdecfa
      Rusty Russell authored
      This changes futex semantics to a simple "sleep if this address
      equals this value" interface, which is more convenient for building
      other primitives.  It also adds a timeout value.
      
      Example library can be found at:

      kbuild: aic7xxx firmware build should not overwrite shipped files · b3434820
      Kai Germaschewski authored
      o Add dependencies on generated files explicitly to the
        aic7xxx Makefile - These cannot be figured out
        automatically
       
      o Rename the precompiled firmware files to 
        shipped_aic7xxx_{reg,seq}.h, so that we don't overwrite 
        shipped files when regenerating the firmware

      No more users of buffermem_pages are left, remove it.
      While at it also remove some orphaned externs around it in swap.h

      [PATCH] buffermem_pages removal (4/5) · 71e6cd0a
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      This is the most discussion-worthy patch of the series:  Change the
      meaning of si_meminfo->bufferram from "all pages in pagecache
      backed by block devices" to "all pages in pagecache".
      
      In the header/manpage is is documented as "Memory used by buffers",
      but as the buffercache is gone I think the new meaning fits the
      intention from pre-pagecache days much better.

      [PATCH] buffermem_pages removal (3/5) · 628d1558
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      This one is a bit more controveral as it may break stupid userlevel
      programs:  remove the 'Buffers' field from /proc/meminfo and make
      the Cached field show the full pagecache size instead of subtracting
      the block-device backed pages.
      
      All /proc/meminfo-using programs I have (free, top) still work fine.

      [PATCH] buffermem_pages removal (1/5) · e95bd965
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      With all work done by akpm in 2.5 Linus no more has a buffer cache
      in the traditional sense.  Still we try to keep estimates about
      what would be the buffer cache size by keeping the number of pages
      indexed by block device inodes.  This is broken not only because the
      old buffercache was also used for file data which is nowdays not
      hashed to block device inodes and thus makes every user of this data
      assume wrong numbers.  Second is is possible to use block device
      pages not through the buffer_head interface (i.e. userspace
      block device nodes, possibly JFS also soon).  In addition the atomic_t
      used for this bookkepping (buffermem_pages) causes cacheline bouncing
      on larger machines.
      
      This is the first patch of a series to get rid of it.  It removes the
      useless output of supposedly buffer pages in show_mem(), which is used
      by the magic sysrq key code.

      kbuild: Stop immediately on error · 5f044d28
      Kai Germaschewski authored
      This patch restores the previous behavior of stopping the build
      immediately on error (unless the -k option is given to make)
      
      Before this patch, we would do the echo command no matter if the
      compile failed, thus returning success always.
