Tony Luck a1ecf7f6e6 [IA64] alternate perfmon handler
Patch from Charles Spirakis

Some linux customers want to optimize their applications on the latest
hardware but are not yet willing to upgrade to the latest kernel. This
patch provides a way to plug in an alternate, basic, and GPL'ed PMU
subsystem to help with their monitoring needs or for specialty work. It
can also be used in case of serious unexpected bugs in perfmon. Mutual
exclusion between the two subsystems is guaranteed, hence no conflict
can arise from both subsystem being present.

Stephane Eranian 4944930ab7 [IA64] perfmon: make pfm_sysctl a global, and other cleanup
- make pfm_sysctl a global such that it is possible
  to enable/disable debug printk in sampling formats
  using PFM_DEBUG.

- remove unused pfm_debug_var variable

- fix a bug in pfm_handle_work where an BUG_ON() could
  be triggered. There is a path where pfm_handle_work()
  can be called with interrupts enabled, i.e., when
  TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set. The fix correct the masking
  and unmasking of interrupts in pfm_handle_work() such
  that we restore the interrupt mask as it was upon entry.

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!
