      [PATCH] ppc32: Update Motorola PrPMC750 support · abfd7fc4
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Tom Rini <trini@kernel.crashing.org>
      
      This patch updates support for the Motorola PrPMC750 platform.  Most of the
      size in this patch comes from merging prpmc750_pci.c and prpmc750_setup.c into
      just prpmc750.c.

      [PATCH] ppc32: Add openpic_hookup_cascade() · 6c4f928b
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Tom Rini <trini@kernel.crashing.org>
      
      This patch adds openpic_hookup_cascade(offset, name, handler) which allows for
      an arbitrary interrupt controller to be hooked up as a cascade to the openpic.
       This also allows for platforms to just not have a cascaded controller.

      asm-ppc/elf.h uses a pointer to struct task_struct without any
      forward-declaration.

      From: Tom Rini <trini@kernel.crashing.org>
      
      When I changed some '#if FOO' tests to '#ifdef FOO' I forgot to make sure
      that nothing was doing #define FOO 0.  So after auditing all of the changes
      I made, the following is needed:

      [PATCH] ppc64: Set memory-only nodes online · f6364f27
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Olof Johansson <olof@austin.ibm.com>
      
      On pSeries LPARs we might end up with NUMA nodes that only have memory and
      no CPUs.  Only the CPU configuration code actually set a node online, so
      memory-only nodes wouldn't show up in sysfs.  Below patch adds the
      set_online call to the memory loop too.

      [PATCH] kbuild: Improved external module support · 95065ad3
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
      
      The external module support recently introduced caused a number of problems:
      - To build an external module the Module.symvers file was needed
      - To create the Module.symvers file a module was required
      - If Module.symvers was missing kbuild boiled out with an error
      - If vmlinux was missing also the stage 2 of module build failed (make -k)
      - It was not documented what was needed to actually bauild a module
      
      The following patch addresses this by adding the following functionality:
      - Always generate the Module.symvers file
      - Ignore a missing Module.symvers file
      - Add a new target modules_prepare, it prepares the kernel for building
        external modules, and is also usefull with O=
      - And it adds some more comments to Makefile.modpost, so others may follow
        it with some luck
      - .modpost.cmd is no longer generated
      
      This should close all reports on issues with respect to building external
      modules with current kernel - which has been identified as kernel problems.

      [PATCH] SELinux ptrace race fix · 96cc4727
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>
      
      Looking again at the SELinux ptrace check, I believe that there is an
      unrelated race due to the fact that the parent link is only updated after
      releasing the task lock in ptrace_attach (and this is necessary as task lock
      doesn't nest with write lock of tasklist_lock).
      
      The patch below changes SELinux to save the tracing process' SID upon a
      successful selinux_ptrace hook call and then use that SID in the ptrace check
      in apply_creds in order to avoid such races.  This allows us to preserve the
      fine-grained process-to-process ptrace check upon exec (vs.  the global
      CAP_SYS_PTRACE privilege => PT_PTRACE_CAP flag used by the capability module)
      while still avoiding races.

      From: Zwane Mwaikambo <zwane@arm.linux.org.uk>
      
      A kernel janitor recently got confused by the advice in SubmittingPatches
      and was sending patches with the wrong strip level, i think just about
      everyone would prefer standard patches.  Also mention various patch
      management scripts for batching up large deltas.

      [PATCH] Set module license in mcheck/non-fatal.c · 65782400
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
      
      This patch sets the module license for mcheck/non-fatal.c.  The module
      doesn't work at all without this as one of the symbols it needs is only
      exported as GPL.

      [PATCH] remove Documentation/DocBook/parportbook.tmpl · f13fcc31

      I pinged the author the first time on the 2nd of april but still didn't get
      a reply, then send a patch to Linus to remove it last week but linus
      ignored it.  Here's the patch again:
