      [PATCH] namespace pollution in irda qos · eb3484f7
      Rusty Russell authored
      From:  Arnd Bergmann <arnd@bergmann-dalldorf.de>
      
        net/irda/qos.c exports some variables that are not used
        in any other file. This makes them static to avoid
        namespace conflicts

      [PATCH] Remove compile warning from drivers_ide_pci_generic.h · 73b60eb4
      Rusty Russell authored
      From:  Bob Miller <rem@osdl.org>
      
        Added and #if/#endif pair to "remove" the un-used unknown_chipset declaration.
      
        Comments in generic.c indicate that unknow_chipset this will be used again
        in the future.

        The function init_irq is only used in ide-probe.c, so it should
        better be static.

        this proposed patch for drivers/scsi/cpqfcTSinit.c scsi driver for

      [PATCH] driver_char_Kconfig bug (fwd) · b65a6d5d
      Rusty Russell authored
      From: Rusty Lynch <rusty@stinkycat.com>
      
        VT support requires drivers/char/keyboard.c which makes function
        calls implemented in drivers/input/, so that attempting to set
        CONFIG_INPUT=m or just not setting CONFIG_INPUT will result in a
        compile error if CONFIG_VT is on.

        The pas2 driver has a global variable named 'lock', which
        pollutes the global namespace. This patch adds a pas_
        prefix. The same is done for 'translate_code'.

      [PATCH] cli_sti in drivers_net_hamradio_bpqether.c · f794d623
      Rusty Russell authored
      From:  Chris Wilson <chris@qwirx.com>
      
        As part of the Linux Kernel Janitors project, I would like to submit my
        patch for bpqether.c.
      
        The document Documentation/cli-sti-removal.txt says that cli() should no
        longer be used to disable interrupts. This patch removes all references to
        cli() and {save,restore}_flags.
      
        - added a static spinlock to protect bpq_devices
        - changed cli/sti and {save,restore}_flags to taking the spinlock and
          disabling interrupts with spin_lock_irqsave
        - included my previous patch for proc_net_create, but as a separate hunk,
          so if you've already applied then just ignore the rejected hunk.
      
        I have verified that the patched driver compiles without warnings, but
        since I don't have the hardware I can't test it. Please treat with
        caution.

      [PATCH] sd.c · 52f97cf3
      Andries E. Brouwer authored
      The below does two things:
      (i) do not try to spin up a CF reader without media
      (ii) be careful when asking for the cache parameters mode page
      
      [do not ask for this page when no media are present:
      it is meaningless, and some devices react badly if we do;
      check the reply so that we do not read past the end of the reply;
      first give a small transport length - some USB devices are unhappy
      if we ask for more than they provide]

      [PATCH] linux-2.5.57_delay-cleanup_A1.patch · 8c777fd8
      John Stultz authored
      This cleans up the delay code by moving the timer-specific
      implementations into the timer_ops struct.  Thus, rather then doing:
      
      	if(x86_delay_tsc)
      		__rdtsc_delay(loops);
      	else if(x86_delay_cyclone)
      		__cyclone_delay(loops);
      	else if(whatever....
      
      we just simply do:
      
      	timer->delay(loops);
      
      Making it much easier to accommodate alternate time sources.

      [PATCH] linux-2.5.57_timer-none_A0.patch · cab1826e

      This creates an empty timer_opt structure (timer_none) which is then
      used as a default initializer to the timer pointer.  This lets us avoid
      having to check before dereferencing the timer in future code.

      [PATCH] use <asm/bug.h> for BUG() defines · 9e535055
      Russell King authored
      This patch moves BUG() and PAGE_BUG() from asm/page.h into asm/bug.h.
      
      We also fix up linux/dcache.h, which included asm/page.h for the sole
      purpose of getting the BUG() definition.
      
      Since linux/kernel.h and linux/smp.h make use of BUG(), asm/bug.h is
      included there as well.
      
      In addition, linux/jbd.h did not contain a clear path with which to
      obtain the archtecture BUG() definition, but did contain its own
      definition.

      [PATCH] Don't ask about "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support" on some archs · fb5805fb
      Tom Rini authored
      The following patch adds an explicit no list of arches who do not want
      to have the "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support" RTC driver asked.  This
      adds PPC32 (who for a long time had their own 'generic' RTC driver, and
      then have adopted the genrtc driver) and PARISC (who have always used
      the genrtc driver).  Per request of Peter Chubb, IA64 is on this list as
      well.
      
      The problem is that on some archs there is no hope of this driver
      working, and having it compiled into the kernel can cause many different
      problems.  On the other hand, there are some arches for whom that driver
      does work, on some platforms.  So having an explicit yes list would
      result in some rather ugly statements.

      [PATCH] cpufreq: per-CPU initialization · d97c3377
      Dominik Brodowski authored
      Allow for per-CPU initialization of CPUfreq. Therefore, it's not
      necessary any longer to kmalloc the per-CPU policy struct. To use
      this, cpufreq_driver->policy has to be set to NULL. Of course,
      cpufreq_driver->init is needed then, which is the appropriate function
      for CPU initialization. cpufreq_driver->exit is available for cleanup.
      
      All existing drivers continue to work without any changes, just for
      clarity ->init and ->exit are set to NULL, and the names accordingly.
