[PATCH 1/1] nmi_watchdog: x86_64 count timer and hpet like i386

This modifies nmi_watchdog_tick behavior for x86_64 arch to consider both timer and pit/hpet IRQs just as the i386 arch does. Without this fix a kernel crash occurs very early in the boot process if nmi_watchdog is on. Signed-off-by: David Bahi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ---

Re: [PATCH] Patches for tiny 386 kernels, again. Linux kernel 2.6.22.7

Here is the DMI patch again, written against linux-2.6.23-rc8, with some of the #ifdef CONFIG_DMI's removed and moved to include/linux/dmi.h. Putting them there in the way I've done ensures that you don't have to put #ifdef CONFIG_DMI around each dmi_check_machine() and that you don't have to

Proposed 2.6 Patch for AMD MIPS Alchemy au1550 I2C interface I2C interface

Hello, Please CC me on replies. I have made a trivial patch to fix a problem on the AMD MIPS Alchemy au1550 I2C interface. The PSC (programmable serial controller) seem to 'hang' when I sent only an 'address' byte on the I2C bus. The patch essentially uses the PSC_SMBSTAT register's TE

nmi_watchdog fix for x86_64 to be more like i386

Thanks to tglx and ghaskins for all the help in tracking down a very early nmi_watchdog crash on certain x86_64 machines. This modifies nmi_watchdog_tick behavior for x86_64 arch to consider both timer and hpet IRQs just as the i386 arch does. Signed-off-by: David Bahi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ---

[PATCH] just rename call_rcu_bh instead of making it a macro
