      # Rename the IOP321_PCI_WINDOW_SIZE #defines to use
      # IOP321_PCI_{IO,MEM}_{BASE,SIZE} instead.  This makes the #defines a bit more
      # consistent.  No functional change, though it does bring up the question of
      # whether res[].end should be BASE+SIZE-1 or BASE+SIZE.

      [PATCH] Runtime memory barrier patching · 8aba0a3d
      Andi Kleen authored
      This implements automatic code patching of memory barriers based
      on the CPU capabilities. Normally lock ; addl $0,(%esp) barriers
      are used, but these are a bit slow on the Pentium 4.
      
      Linus proposed this a few weeks ago after the support for SSE1/SSE2
      barriers was introduced. I now got around to implement it.
      
      The main advantage is that it allows distributors to ship less binary
      kernels but still get fast kernels. In particular it avoids the
      need of a special Pentium 4 kernel.
      
      The patching code is quite generic and could be used to patch
      other instructions (like prefetches or specific other critical
      instructions) too.
      Thanks to Rusty's in kernel loader it also works seamlessly for modules.
      
      The patching is done before other CPUs start to avoid potential
      erratas with self modifying code on SMP systems. It makes no
      attempt to automatically handle assymetric systems (an secondary
      CPU having less capabilities than the boot CPU). In this
      case just boot with "noreplacement"

      [PATCH] More careful about VMA merging · 5a49258a
      Andrew Morton authored
      The VMA merging code can merge vmas which have a ->vm_ops->close() handler.
      But this means that per-VMA resources in one of the merged VMAs will not be
      freed.
      
      Fix that up by just refusing to merge any VMA's which look "complex": they
      have special flags set or they have a ->close handler.
