      [PATCH] threading enhancements, tid-2.5.48-C0 · dbc4fc9c
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Support more flexible child pid set/clear operations for NPTL.
      
      there's one more improvement in the interface: set the parent-TID prior
      doing the copy_mm() - this helps cfork() to pass the TID to the child as
      well.

      [PATCH] A new Athlon 'bug'. · 7d7f493a
      Dave Jones authored
      Very recent Athlons (Model 8 stepping 1 and above) (XPs/MPs and mobiles)
      have an interesting problem.  Certain bits in the CLK_CTL register need
      to be programmed differently to those in earlier models. The problem arises
      when people plug these new CPUs into boards running BIOSes that are unaware
      of this fact.
      
      The fix is to reprogram CLK_CTL to 200xxxxx instead of 0x600xxxxx as it was
      in previous models. The AMD folks have found that this improves stability.
      
      The patch below does this reprogramming if an affected model/bios is
      detected.
      
      I'm interested if someone with an affected model could run some
      benchmarks before and after to also see if this affects performance.

      [PATCH] uClinux bits for /dev/zero · d04e13f0
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      uClinux ports can't use mmu tricks for reading /dev/zero due to the
      lack of one.  similarly it can't mmap /dev/zero.

      swapper_space.nrpages in code that doesn't depend on CONFIG_SWAP

      [PATCH] USB core/config.c == memory corruption · 34bc27e5
      Zwane Mwaikambo authored
      parse_interface allocates the incorrect storage size for additional
      altsettings (new buffer) leading to a BUG being triggered in
      mm/slab.c:1453 when we do the memcpy from the old buffer to the new
      buffer (writing beyond new buffer).
      Patch appended, tested with an OV511 on an Intel PIIX4

      [PATCH] rename get_lease to break_lease · 9de88958
      Matthew Wilcox authored
      Al pointed out that the current name of get_lease is extremely confusing
      and I agree.
      
      This (a) renames it to break_lease and (b) fixes a bug noticed by Dave
      Hansen which could cause a NULL pointer dereference under high load.

      It looks like the merge of Doug and Christoph's code dropped two calls
      (unless the exit devfs_unregister was supposed to be removed).
      
      Here's a patch for the addition of scsi_init_procfs, devfs_mk_dir and
      bus_unregister calls, and a small reordering so calls in exit_scsi
      match the reverse of those in init_scsi.

      scsi_debug 1.65 for lk 2.5.48 · 4e13766b
      Douglas Gilbert authored
      The scsi_debug version in lk 2.5.48 is the second last one
      I sent to this list. So this patch includes the changes from
      the last one I sent:
         - fix "in use" counting [hch]
         - clean up bios_param() code
      It also merges a sysfs re-organisation from Mike Anderson.

      fix queue run on returning I/O [axboe@suse.de] · 3dda41af
      James Bottomley authored
      On returning I/O, need to unplug the queue before we call the queue_fn. 
      This fixes a problem in 2.5.48 where the aic7xxx driver hangs under e2fsck.
