Cedric Le Goater 9ec52099e4 [PATCH] replace cad_pid by a struct pid
There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled.  The
ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them.  It kills a task, usually init, using a
cached pid (cad_pid).

This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around
problem.  The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be
modified through systctl with

	/proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid

[ I haven't found any distro using it ? ]

It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used
where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.

Martin Schwidefsky 94c12cc7d1 [S390] Inline assembly cleanup.
Major cleanup of all s390 inline assemblies. They now have a common
coding style. Quite a few have been shortened, mainly by using register
asm variables. Use of the EX_TABLE macro helps  as well. The atomic ops,
bit ops and locking inlines new use the Q-constraint if a newer gcc
is used.  That results in slightly better code.

Thanks to Christian Borntraeger for proof reading the changes.

Cornelia Huck 7e560814de [S390] path grouping and path verifications fixes.
1. Multipath devices for which SetPGID is not supported are not handled well.
   Use NOP ccws for path verification (sans path grouping) when SetPGID is not
   supported.
2. Check for PGIDs already set with SensePGID on _all_ paths (not just the
   first one) and try to find a common one. Moan if no common PGID can be
   found (and use NOP verification). If no PGIDs have been set, use the css
   global PGID (as before). (Rationale: SetPGID will get a command reject if
   the PGID it tries to set does not match the already set PGID.)
3. Immediately before reboot, issue RESET CHANNEL PATH (rcp) on all chpids. This
   will remove the old PGIDs. rcp will generate solicited CRWs which can be
   savely ignored by the machine check handler (all other actions create
   unsolicited CRWs).

Heiko Carstens 8e9ccae6ee [PATCH] lockdep: s390 turn validator off in machine-check handler
Machine checks on s390 are always enabled (except in the machine check handler
itself).  Therefore use lockdep_off()/on() in the machine check handler to
avoid deadlocks in the lock validator.

Heiko Carstens 022e4fc0fb [PATCH] s390: fix ipd handling
As pointed out by Paulo Marques <pmarques@grupopie.com> MAX_IPD_TIME is by
a factor of ten too small.  Since this means that we allow ten times more
IPDs in the intended time frame this could result in a cpu check stop of a
physical cpu.

Heiko Carstens b73d40c617 [PATCH] s390: instruction processing damage handling
In case of an instruction processing damage (IPD) machine check in kernel mode
the resulting action is always to stop the kernel.  This is not necessarily
the best solution since a retry of the failing instruction might succeed.  Add
logic to retry the instruction if no more than 30 instruction processing
damage checks occured in the last 5 minutes.

only two subchannel sets are available, this will work with the architectured

Martin Schwidefsky ae6aa2ea89 [PATCH] s390: machine check handler bugs
The new machine check handler still has a few bugs.

1) The system entry time has to be stored in the machine check handler,

2) the machine check return psw may not be stored at the usual place
   because it might overwrite the return psw of the interrupted context,

3) the return address for the call to s390_handle_mcck in the i/o interrupt
   handler is not correct,

4) the system call cleanup has to take the different save area of the
   machine check handler into account,

5) the machine check handler may not call UPDATE_VTIME before
   CREATE_STACK_FRAME, and

6) the io leave path needs a critical section cleanup to make sure that the
   TIF_MCCK_PENDING bit is really checked before switching back to user space.

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!
