I was thinking about errors in YaST or typos in bootloader config, that
may appear sometimes. And kernel must tolerate this kind of userspace
input to be more reliable. But you know better, i just am waving hands.
Of course the kernel must
Seems that I found a box that has a config that passes call_rcu_bh as a
function pointer (see net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c), so declaring the
call_rcu_bh has a macro function isn't good enough.
This patch makes it just another name of call_rcu for rcupreempt.

These patches provide a kernel tracing interface called trace.
(update) Moved the sample code to the new samples\ subdir
The motivation for trace is to:
- Provide a simple set of tracing primitives that will utilize the high-
performance and low-overhead of relayfs for passing traces data from

This patch allows relay channels to be reset i.e. unconsumed.
Basically allows a 'rewind' function for flight-recorder tracing.

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.

Please CC me on replies.
I have made a trivial patch to fix a problem on the AMD MIPS Alchemy au1550

I sent only an 'address' byte on the I2C bus. The patch essentially uses

Also, Auke, if indeed compilers are [sic] likely to do better than
programmers adding un/likely wrappers, then why do we still support that in

Thanks for finding that. It may be better though to use the new

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

around each dmi_check_machine() and that you don't
