      [PATCH] audit syscall classes · b915543b
      Al Viro 提交于
      Allow to tie upper bits of syscall bitmap in audit rules to kernel-defined
      sets of syscalls.  Infrastructure, a couple of classes (with 32bit counterparts
      for biarch targets) and actual tie-in on i386, amd64 and ia64.

      [PATCH] x86: SMP alternatives · 9a0b5817
      Gerd Hoffmann 提交于
      Implement SMP alternatives, i.e.  switching at runtime between different
      code versions for UP and SMP.  The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP.
      The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug.
      
      With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and
      when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number
      of CPUs goes up to 2.
      
      Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is
      patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released
      afterwards.
      
      The changes in detail:
      
        * The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file,
          the SMP alternatives code is added there.
      
        * The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel:
          .smp_altinstructions
      	like .altinstructions, also contains a list
      	of alt_instr structs.
          .smp_altinstr_replacement
      	like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to
      	save original instruction before replaving it.
          .smp_locks
      	list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed
      	out on UP.
          The first two are used to replace more complex instruction
          sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores.  It would be possible
          to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling
          them as special case the table sizes become much smaller.
      
       * The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they
         can be free if they are not needed.
      
       * Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and
         use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.

      [PATCH] i386: port ATI timer fix from x86_64 to i386 II · f9262c12
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      ATI chipsets tend to generate double timer interrupts for the local APIC
      timer when both the 8254 and the IO-APIC timer pins are enabled.  This is
      because they route it to both and the result is anded together and the CPU
      ends up processing it twice.
      
      This patch changes check_timer to disable the 8254 routing for interrupt 0.
      
      I think it would be safe on all chipsets actually (i tested it on a couple
      and it worked everywhere) and Windows seems to do it in a similar way, but
      to be conservative this patch only enables this mode on ATI (and adds
      options to enable/disable too)
      
      Ported over from a similar x86-64 change.
      
      I reused the ACPI earlyquirk infrastructure for the ATI bridge check, but
      tweaked it a bit to work even without ACPI.
      
      Inspired by a patch from Chuck Ebbert, but redone.

      [PATCH] Fix topology.c location · 9c869eda
      Zachary Amsden 提交于
      When compiling a non-default subarch, topology.c is missing from the kernel
      build.  This causes builds with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU to fail.  In addition,
      on Intel processors with cpuid level > 4, it causes intel_cacheinfo.c to
      reference uninitialized data that should have been set up by the initcall
      in topology.c which calls register_cpu.  This causes a kernel panic on boot
      on newer Intel processors.  Moving topology.c to arch/i386/kernel fixes
      both of these problems.
      
      Thanks to Dan Hecht for finding and fixing this problem.

      [PATCH] i386 vDSO: add PT_NOTE segment · c97db4a0
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      This patch adds an ELF note to the vDSO giving the LINUX_VERSION_CODE
      value.  Having this in the vDSO lets the dynamic linker avoid the `uname'
      syscall it now always does at startup to ascertain the kernel ABI
      available.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      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!
