2009-12-16	sanitize do_pipe_flags() callers in arch	Al Viro
	* hpux_pipe() - no need to take BKL * sys32_pipe() in arch/x86/ia32 and xtensa_pipe() in arch/xtensa - no need at all, since both functions are open-coded sys_pipe() Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2009-12-11	Unify sys_mmap*	Al Viro
	New helper - sys_mmap_pgoff(); switch syscalls to using it. Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2009-10-12	net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscall	Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
	Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and net stack entry/exit operations. Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation. This takes into account comments made by: . Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram, sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest. . Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that works in the same fashion as the ppoll one. If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB one) it has received so far. . Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it in the next call. This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg, where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at every underlying recvmsg call.

2008-11-06	xtensa: move headers files to arch/xtensa/include	Chris Zankel
	Move all header files for xtensa to arch/xtensa/include and platform and variant header files to the appropriate arch/xtensa/platforms/ and arch/xtensa/variants/ directories. Moving the files gets also rid of all uses of symlinks in the Makefile. This has been completed already for the majority of the architectures and xtensa is one out of six missing.
