Stephen Rothwell a71c1ab50a [PATCH] consolidate SIGEV_PAD_SIZE
Discussing with Matthew Wilcox some of his outstanding patches lead me to
this patch (among others).

The preamble in struct sigevent can be expressed independently of the
architecture.

Also use __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE on ia64.

Joe Korty 4750e2c0c5 [PATCH] add EOWNERDEAD and ENOTRECOVERABLE version 2
Add EOWNERDEAD and ENOTRECOVERABLE to all architectures.  This is to
support the upcoming patches for robust mutexes.

We normally don't reserve parts of the name/number space for external
patches, but robust mutexes are sufficiently popular and important to
justify it in this case.

Stas Sergeev 7f261b5f0d [PATCH] move SA_xxx defines to linux/signal.h
The attached patch moves the IRQ-related SA_xxx flags (namely, SA_PROBE,
SA_SAMPLE_RANDOM and SA_SHIRQ) from all the arch-specific headers to
linux/signal.h.  This looks like a left-over after the irq-handling code
was consolidated.  The code was moved to kernel/irq/*, but the flags are
still left per-arch.

Right now, adding a new IRQ flag to the arch-specific header, like this
patch does:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/alsa/alsa-driver/utils/patches/pcsp-kernel-2.6.10-03.diff?rev=1.1
no longer works, it breaks the compilation for all other arches, unless you
add that flag to all the other arch-specific headers too.  So I think such
a clean-up makes sense.

Matt Mackall c8538a7aa5 [PATCH] remove all kernel BUGs
This patch eliminates all kernel BUGs, trims about 35k off the typical
kernel, and makes the system slightly faster.

Al Viro ef0299bf8e [PATCH] mostek bogus sparse annotations fixed
void * __iomem foo is not a pointer to iomem - it's an iomem variable
containing void *.  A pile of such guys in arch/sparc64/kernel/time.c,
drivers/sbus/char/rtc.c and include/asm-sparc64/mostek.h turned into
intended void __iomem *.

David S. Miller b4bca26c01 [SPARC]: Provide generic ioctls in Sparc RTC driver.
Provide support for drivers/char/rtc.c ioctls in the
Mostek rtc driver as well as the Sparc specific RTCGET
and RTCSET.

This allows userspace to be much less messy.  Currently
util-linux and other spots jump through hoops trying
various ioctl variants until it hits the right one whatever
driver actually being used supports.

Eventually all of this should move over to the genrtc.c
driver, but not today...

While we are here, fix up the register types for sparse.

Thanks to Frans Pop for helping point out this issue.

Hugh Dickins 8f6c99c11a [PATCH] freepgt: remove arch pgd_addr_end
ia64 and sparc64 hurriedly had to introduce their own variants of
pgd_addr_end, to leapfrog over the holes in their virtual address spaces which
the final clear_page_range suddenly presented when converted from pgd_index to
pgd_addr_end.  But now that free_pgtables respects the vma list, those holes
are never presented, and the arch variants can go.

David S. Miller 0ba4da03cc [PATCH] sparc64: Fix stat
Like Alpha, sparc64's struct stat was defined before we had the
nanosecond et al.  fields added.  So like Alpha I have to cons up a
struct stat64 to get this stuff.  I'll work on the glibc bits soon. 

Also, we were forgetting to fill in the nanosecond fields in the sparc
compat stat64 syscalls.

David S. Miller dadeafdfc8 [PATCH] sparc64: Reduce ptrace cache flushing
We were flushing the D-cache excessively for ptrace() processing
and this makes debugging threads so slow as to be totally unusable.

All process page accesses via ptrace() go via access_process_vm().
This routine, for each process page, uses get_user_pages().  That
in turn does a flush_dcache_page() on the child pages before we
copy in/out the ptrace request data.

Therefore, all we need to do after the data movement is:

1) Flush the D-cache pages if the kernel maps the page to a different
   color than userspace does.
2) If we wrote to the page, we need to flush the I-cache on older cpus.

Previously we just flushed the entire cache at the end of a ptrace()
request, and that was beyond stupid.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
