disk_name() (and hence bdevname()) are now returning devfs-style device names
when devfs is enabled.

This is nice, but these names are very long, and they overflow the 32-char
buffers which these functions use.

The choices are:

a) Use a bigger buffer (increase BDEVNAME_SIZE).

   This might be practical.  But how big?

b) return the name in kmalloced memory, make caller free it up.   Yuk.

c) Add a print_bdevname() thing and intersperse that amongst the printk's.
   This would work.

d) Just print the non-devfs device name.   That's what this patch does.

This patch fixes the PrintScreen key when CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ is enabled.  It
allows you to use that key normally when Alt is not being pressed.  Patch is
against kernel 2.5.68.

Remove the UPDATE_ATIME() macro, use update_atime() directly.

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

Change sysrq sync/remount from a magic bdflush hook to proper pdflush
operations.  The sync operation reuses most of the regular sys_sync path now
instead of implementing it's own superblock walking and (broken) local disk
detection, the remount implementation has been moved to super.c, cleaned up
and updated for the last two years locking changes.  It also shares some code
with the regular remount path now.

attached is the promised cleanup/bugfix patch for the slab bootstrap:

- kmem_cache_init & kmem_cache_sizes_init merged into one function,
  called after mem_init().  It's impossible to bring slab to an operational
  state without working gfp, thus the early partial initialization is not
  necessary.

- g_cpucache_up set to FULL at the end of kmem_cache_init instead of the
  module init call.  This is a bugfix: slab was completely initialized,
  just the update of the state was missing.

- some documentation for the bootstrap added.

The minimal fix for the bug is a two-liner: move g_cpucache_up=FULL from
cpucache_init to kmem_cache_sizes_init, but I want to get rid of
kmem_cache_sizes_init, too.

The timer is being initialised too late (in ->open()).  If modprobe fails we
get an uninitialised timer warning.

There was a 2.4 merge from Alan Cox, but a few #ifdef's got shuffled around
in the process, resulting in a broken build for !CONFIG_PM

From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>

This driver was bogusly relying on the dropping of the __exit section at link
time.  cpia_exit() is calling proc_cpia_destroy(), which doesn't even exist
if !CONFIG_MODULE.

From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>

Some configs didn't link anymore because they got references from
.altinstructions to __exit functions.  Fixing it at the linker level is not
easily possible.  This patch just discards .text.exit at runtime instead of
link time to avoid this.

It will also fix a related problem with .eh_frame in modern gcc (so far only
observed on x86-64, but could happen on i386 too)

From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>

This patch adds an generic x86 subarchitecture. It is intended to provide
an dynamic interface for APIC drivers. There are already three subarchitectures
(bigsmp, summit, default) that only differ in how they drive the local APIC.
A fourth - Unisys ES7000 - is scheduled to be merged soon.

The subarchitecture concept separated this nicely, but it has the big
drawback that they are compile time options. A Linux vendor cannot
ship own binary kernel rpms for all of these machines. Runtime probing
is needed instead.

This patch adds a new "generic" subarchitecture that just acts as a
dynamic switching layer for APIC drivers. It only tries to virtualize
the APICs, no attempt is made to cover further incompatiblities.
This means machines like the Visual Workstation, pc9800 or
Voyager are not covered; but these are unlikely to be supported by
binary distributions anyways.

The generic arch reuses the existing interface in mach_ipi / mach_mpparse.h /
mach_apic.h and just pulls it using some macros into an "struct genapic"
object. The main APIC code does not recognize it, it is all hidden
in the mach-generic include files.

Auto detection of APIC types is supported in the usual way used by
existing ports like Summit - checking ACPI or mptables for specific
signatures - or it can be specified by the user using a new "apic="
boot option. I also moved the DMI scan to before the generic
subarchitecture probe, so DMI could be used in future too to probe
specific machines.

Some minor hacks were needed to avoid circular declaration of a few
symbols, but overall it's fairly clean.

The patch has been tested on a Summit machine, an generic 4 virtual CPUs
Xeon and on an ES7000.

them.

I'll release the actual checker once I've cleaned it up a
bit more (yay, all the copyright paperwork completed!)
