This appeared in the ia64 port and sounds like a good idea. Potentially
avoid an atomic operation in switch_mm.

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

- remove LMB_MEMORY_AREA, LMB_IO_AREA, we only allocate/reserve memory
  areas now
- remove lmb_property->type, lmb_region->iosize, lmb_region->lcd_size,
  no longer used
- bump number of regions to 128, we'll hit this limit sooner or later
  with our big boxes (if we have more than 64 PCI host bridges the
  reserved array will fill up for example)
- make all the lmb stuff __init
- no need to explicitly zero struct lmb lmb now we zero the BSS early
- we had two functions to dump the lmb array, kill one of them
- move the inline functions into lmb.c, they are only ever called from
  there

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

There is a prototype for dump_regs on ppc32 and ppc64 but its never
defined.  Remove it since it conflicts with something in
drivers/atm/horizon.c.

Also clean up ppc64 system.h a bit to match the ppc32 version.

This sounds like a good moment to come with this patch.

This is essentially a five-year-old patch by Bruno Haible.  It
introduces utf8 mode, and the effect it has on erasing input characters.

(Side note - without stty support, this is not very useful, but now
the infrastructure is in place)

	We never use CONFIG_BINFTM_ELF and CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF_MODULE
anywhere in the source (they are used in makefiles, obviously).
32bit-emulation binfmt_elf_... in arch/* still define those guys
even though it hadn't been needed for years.

	Junk removed.

PS: BTW, CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF32 _is_ used in several places in arch/mips and it
looks like they really want
#if defined(CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF32) || defined(CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF32_MODULE)
in these ifdefs, but that's a separate story...

I was modifying mkfs.xfs to use O_EXCL for 2.6, and hit a snag.
It seems that once I've opened a block dev with O_EXCL I can no
longer issue the BLKBSZSET ioctl to it.

Making this change, the ioctl succeeds cos the original filp bdev owner
from open now matches with the owner in the ioctl call.

- The do_shmat() stub needs `static inline', not `inline'

- We need errno.h for ENOSYS.

1) Take into account the fact that struct sk_buff, which counts towards
   socket buffer limits, changes across different platforms.
2) Give ipv4/ipv6 ICMP sockets more accurately the wmem limits they
   want.

This renames sys_shmat to do_shmat.  Additionally, I've replaced the
cond_syscall with a conditional inline function.

It touches all archs - only i386 is tested.

This undef's DEBUG by default in macio_asic, this is now working fairly
well, and the actual output isn't really useful anyway.

dpm_runtime_suspend holds dpm_sem and calls dpm_runtime_resume which
deadlocks.  Directly call runtime_resume instead.

GNU make 3.78 reproducible segfaults when building kernel 2.6.

See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107333742902438&w=2

Therefore, the minimum requirement for GNU make has to be raised in
Documentation/Changes.

GNU make 3.79.1 works.

From: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>

In 2.6.3, cleanups arrived, and they got test for invalid frequencies
wrong.

Only first frequency is allowed to be < FID_TABLE_BOTTOM, but due to
bug it cleanups it allowed no frequencies < FID_TABLE_BOTTOM. This
fixes it.

Lots of these:

fs/partitions/efi.c:387: warning: long unsigned int format, u64 arg (arg 2)
fs/partitions/efi.c:387: warning: long unsigned int format, u64 arg (arg 3)

fs/partitions/efi.c:395: warning: long unsigned int format, u64 arg (arg 2)

because it is assuming that you can print a u64 with %ld on 64-bit machines.

Now that we coalesce ACKs for outgoing packets, the v.110 code needs to
look at the size it's given rather than assuming it'll get precisely one
callback for each packet sent...

Removes unnecessary min/max macros and use kernel.h macros instead.

Hi list,
while checking 2.6.1 for missing checks(). fs/jffs/inode-v23.c
got overlooked somehow.

This patch fixes:
2 unguarded kmem_cache_create
1 unguarded proc_mkdir

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>

Looking at d_splice_alias, it appears that the security_d_instantiate call
in the first case (where it ends up moving an entry in place of the given
dentry) should be passing 'new' rather than 'dentry' to ensure that the
passed dentry is associated with the inode.  This patch should fix the
problem.

ext3_error() sleeps, so don't call it with the lock held.

Fix another bug caused by the recent IA32e merge.  The full L1 cache size
padding of the GDT didn't work with smaller cache line sizes.  Just revert
that.

I must admit I still don't understand why it didn't work, but it's better
to have a working system for now.
