      Hey, it's fifteen years today since I bought the machine that got Linux
      started.  January 2nd is a good date.

      [PATCH] Make sure interleave masks have at least one node set · 8f493d79
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      Otherwise a bad mem policy system call can confuse the interleaving
      code into referencing undefined nodes.

      [PATCH] Avoid namespace pollution in <asm/param.h> · abe842eb
      Dag-Erling Smrgrav 提交于
      In commit 3D59121003721a8fad11ee72e646fd9d3076b5679c, the x86 and x86-64
      <asm/param.h> was changed to include <linux/config.h> for the
      configurable timer frequency.
      
      However, asm/param.h is sometimes used in userland (it is included
      indirectly from <sys/param.h>), so your commit pollutes the userland
      namespace with tons of CONFIG_FOO macros.  This greatly confuses
      software packages (such as BusyBox) which use CONFIG_FOO macros
      themselves to control the inclusion of optional features.
      
      After a short exchange, Christoph approved this patch

      [PATCH] powerpc: more g5 overtemp problem fix · f12f4d90
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      Some G5s still occasionally experience shutdowns due to overtemp
      conditions despite the recent fix. After analyzing logs from such
      machines, it appears that the overtemp code is a bit too quick at
      shutting the machine down when reaching the critical temperature (tmax +
      8) and doesn't leave the fan enough time to actually cool it down. This
      happens if the temperature of a CPU suddenly rises too high in a very
      short period of time, or occasionally on boot (that is the CPUs are
      already overtemp by the time the driver loads).
      
      This patches makes the code a bit more relaxed, leaving a few seconds to
      the fans to do their job before kicking the machine shutown.

      [PATCH] Fix false old value return of sysctl · 82c9df82
      Yi Yang 提交于
      For the sysctl syscall, if the user wants to get the old value of a
      sysctl entry and set a new value for it in the same syscall, the old
      value is always overwritten by the new value if the sysctl entry is of
      string type and if the user sets its strategy to sysctl_string.  This
      issue lies in the strategy being run twice if the strategy is set to
      sysctl_string, the general strategy sysctl_string always returns 0 if
      success.
      
      Such strategy routines as sysctl_jiffies and sysctl_jiffies_ms return 1
      because they do read and write for the sysctl entry.
      
      The strategy routine sysctl_string return 0 although it actually read
      and write the sysctl entry.
      
      According to my analysis, if a strategy routine do read and write, it
      should return 1, if it just does some necessary check but not read and
      write, it should return 0, for example sysctl_intvec.
