      [PATCH] further __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ removal · d1dbcdee
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
      
      Dave Jones already removed some of the useless __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ defines
      in various files, this gets rid of almost all the others.  Replacing
      execve() is nontrivial, so I left those in for now.
      
      For all the other system calls that are currently used from inside the
      kernel, calling the sys_* function directly should always have an identical
      effect.

      [PATCH] Manfred's patch to distribute boot allocations across nodes · 214b914e
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
      
      Distribute boot time memory allocations across all nodes, from Manfred
      Spraul.
      
      We want to spread memory across nodes to avoid all allocations ending
      up on node 0.
      
      Spreading boot time allocations around also helps us to avoid node 0
      becoming the hot node.
      
      I took it for a spin:

      Change in free memory due to patch:

      Node 4  -6.14 MB
      Node 3 -22.15 MB
      Node 2  -6.05 MB
      Node 1  -6.12 MB
      Node 0 107.35 MB
      
      As you can see we gained over 100MB on node 0.

      [PATCH] Use 64-bit counters for scheduler stats · 0281d847
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Kingsley Cheung <kingsley@aurema.com>
      
      A number of scheduler counters wrap around after 47 days.  The context-switch
      counter can wrap around after considerably less time.
      
      Convert them to 64-bit values.

      [PATCH] ppc64: fix NUMA compile with large cpumasks · baf129a1
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
      
      The recent NUMA changes fail to compile with large cpumasks, we need to use
      a temporary to get around the type checking.

      WATCHDOG] v2.6.4 wdt977-v0.03-patch · b52ce0ba
      Wim Van Sebroeck authored
      Version 0.03 of wdt977.c - Changes that were made are:
      * Extract the stop code in a seperate function (wdt977_stop)
      * Extract the start code in a seperate function (wdt977_start)
      * Rename kick_wdog to wdt977_keepalive for consistency
      * Extract the watchdog's status code to a seperate function (wdt977_get_status)
      * Change the way we deal with the watchdog timeout:
         Up till now we used timeoutM (in minutes) as the correct value and then
         calculated timeout as being timeoutM*60 or *timeoutM*120 (depending on
         wether or not we have the netwinder hardware bug).
      
         From now on timeout is the correct value and we calculate timeoutM out
         of it. Because of this we start with checking wether or not we have a
         correct timeout value (if not we reset it to the default value) and we
         automatically calculate timeoutM. Each time we change timeout with a
         correct timeout value, we recalculate timeoutM.
      * Extended ioctl code with WDIOC_SETOPTIONS and updated the watchdog_info structure
      * Added notifier support
      
      Code has been tested by Woody

      [WATCHDOG] v2.6.4 pcwd_pci-v1.00_20040313-patch · 591095cb
      Wim Van Sebroeck authored
      Two small fixes:
      * Make cards_found a global variable so that if we remove the
        pci device we can count down.
      * If we can't find a correct I/O address for the card, then we
      should disable the card again.
