2005-09-07	[PATCH] ipc: convert /proc/sysvipc/* to generic seq_file interface	Mike Waychison	3	-163/+78
	Change the /proc/sysvipc/shm\|sem\|msg files to use the generic seq_file implementation for struct ipc_ids. Signed-off-by: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Cc: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-07	[PATCH] ipc: add generic struct ipc_ids seq_file iteration	Mike Waychison	2	-0/+164
	The following two patches convert /proc/sysvipc/* to use seq_file. This gives us the following: - Self-consistent IPC records in proc. - O(n) reading of the files themselves. This patch: Add a generic method for ipc types to be displayed using seq_file. This patch abstracts out seq_file iterating over struct ipc_ids into ipc/util.c Signed-off-by: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Cc: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-07	[PATCH] compat: be more consistent about [ug]id_t	Stephen Rothwell	1	-6/+6
	When I first wrote the compat layer patches, I was somewhat cavalier about the definition of compat_uid_t and compat_gid_t (or maybe I just misunderstood :-)). This patch makes the compat types much more consistent with the types we are being compatible with and hopefully will fix a few bugs along the way. compat type type in compat arch __compat_[ug]id_t __kernel_[ug]id_t __compat_[ug]id32_t __kernel_[ug]id32_t compat_[ug]id_t [ug]id_t The difference is that compat_uid_t is always 32 bits (for the archs we care about) but __compat_uid_t may be 16 bits on some.

2005-08-05	[PATCH] Fix semundo lock leakage	Ingo Molnar	1	-7/+3
	semundo->lock can leak if semundo->refcount goes from 2 to 1 while another thread has it locked. This causes major problems for PREEMPT kernels. The simplest fix for now is to undo the single-thread optimization. This bug was found via relentless testing by Dominik Karall.

2005-08-01	[PATCH] shm: CONFIG_SHMEM=n build fix	Andrew Morton	1	-1/+1
	Fix bug found by Grant Coady <lkml@dodo.com.au>'s autobuild setup. shmem_set_policy() and shmem_get_policy() are macros if !CONFIG_SHMEM, so this doesn't work. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-07-12	[PATCH] xtensa: remove old syscalls	Chris Zankel	1	-1/+1
	This patch fixes some minor bugs introduced by the previous patch (remove old syscalls). Both patches remove the obsolete syscalls. The changes in this patch were suggested by Arnd Bergmann. The vmlinux.lds.S changes are required for the latest gcc/binutils.

2005-07-07	[PATCH] put_compat_shminfo() warning fix	Jesse Millan	1	-0/+1
	GCC 4 complains because the function put_compat_shminfo() can't get to its return statement if there is no error... If the function does not return -EFAULT, it doesn't return anything at all. Looks like a typo.

2005-06-23	[PATCH] ipcsem: remove superflous decrease variable from sys_semtimedop	Manfred Spraul	1	-6/+3
	Patrick noticed that the initial scan of the semaphore operations logs decrease and increase operations seperately, but then both cases are or'ed together and decrease is never used. The attached patch removes the decrease parameter - it shrinks sys_semtimedop() by 56 bytes.

2005-05-01	[PATCH] convert that currently tests _NSIG directly to use valid_signal()	Jesper Juhl	1	-2/+2
	Convert most of the current code that uses _NSIG directly to instead use valid_signal(). This avoids gcc -W warnings and off-by-one errors. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <juhl-lkml@dif.dk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-05-01	[PATCH] use smp_mb/wmb/rmb where possible	akpm@osdl.org	1	-2/+2

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	10	-0/+6045
	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!
