2006-01-06[PATCH] x86: Fixed pnp bios limitsZachary Amsden
PnP BIOS data, code, and 32-bit entry segments all have fixed limits as well; set them in the GDT rather than adding more code. It would be nice to add these fixups to the boot GDT rather than setting the GDT for each CPU; perhaps I can wiggle this in later, but getting it in before the subsys init looks tricky. Also, make some progress on deprecating the ugly Q_SET_SEL macros.

2006-01-06[PATCH] x86: Pnp byte granularityZachary Amsden
The one remaining caller of set_limit, the PnP BIOS code, calls into the PnP BIOS, passing kernel parameters in and out. These parameteres may be passed from arbitrary kernel virtual memory, so they deserve strict protection to stop a bad BIOS from smashing beyond the object size. Unfortunately, the use of set_limit was badly botching this by setting the limit in terms of pages, when it really should have byte granularity. When doing this, I discovered my BIOS had the buggy code during the "get system device node" call: mov ax, es:[bx] Which is harmless, but has a trivial workaround.

2006-01-06[PATCH] x86: Pnp segments in segment hZachary Amsden
Move PnP BIOS segment definitions into segment.h; the segments are reserved here, so they might as well be defined here as well. Note I didn't do this for APM BIOS, as Macintosh and other systems use those values to emulate APM in some scary way I don't want to understand.

2006-01-06[PATCH] x86: GDT alignment fixZachary Amsden
Make GDT page aligned and page padded to support running inside of a hypervisor. This prevents false sharing of the GDT page with other hot data, which is not allowed in Xen, and causes performance problems in VMware. Rather than go back to the old method of statically allocating the GDT (which wastes unneded space for non-present CPUs), the GDT for APs is allocated dynamically.

2006-01-04[PATCH] keep pnpbios usermod_helper away from hotplug_path[]Kay Sievers
These days we use udev to manage all kernel events. /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug will usually be disabled by an init-script. pnpnbios is not integrated with the driver core and should stay away from the now disabled /sbin/hotplug. Set the helper to /sbin/phpbios, even when there is probably no current user of this faciliy. If it's needed, it should definitely get proper driver core integration instead of forking binaries from the kernel.

2005-10-30[PATCH] fix missing includesTim Schmielau
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

2005-09-07[PATCH] pnp: consolidate kmalloc wrappersBjorn Helgaas
ISAPNP, PNPBIOS, and PNPACPI all had their own kmalloc wrappers that reimplemented kcalloc(). Remove the wrappers and just use kcalloc() directly. Note that this also removes the PNPBIOS error message when the kmalloc fails.

2005-06-25[PATCH] Cleanup patch for process freezingChristoph Lameter
1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h: frozen(process) Check for frozen process freezing(process) Check if a process is being frozen freeze(process) Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator) thaw_process(process) Restart process frozen_process(process) Process is frozen now 2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all kernel sources except sched.h 3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver 4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls. 5. Some whitespace cleanup 6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check PF_FROZEN). This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe! Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <christoph@lameter.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
