Add initialization of an array, which needs brackets that would pollute kernel
code, to kernel.h. It is used to declare arguments passed as function parameters
such as:
text_poke(addr, INIT_ARRAY(unsigned char, 0xf0, len), len);

Upon module load, we must take the markers mutex. It implies that the marker
mutex must be nested inside the module mutex.
It implies changing the nesting order : now the marker mutex nests inside the
module mutex. Make the necessary changes to reverse the order in which the
mutexes are taken.
Hi Andrew,
Here are some fixes for the Linux Kernel Markers present in 2.6.24-rc2-git3.
There is a code path (module load) that may update markers without holding the
markers mutex, si I fixed that. The rest is just an tiny documentation
improvement.

time: Fold __get_realtime_clock_ts() into getnstimeofday():
- getnstimeofday() was just a wrapper around __get_realtime_clock_ts()
- Replace calls to __get_realtime_clock_ts() by calls to getnstimeofday()
- Fix bogus reference to get_realtime_clock_ts(), which never existed

Suppose I send down an SG_IO command on a generic scsi device node. As
far as I can tell, the code path looks like this in 2.6.14:
sg_ioctl
sg_new_write
scsi_execute_async (sets up sg_cmd_done as callback)
scsi_do_req

I think the root issue there is that it's hard to get

This patch builds samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c only on archs that
support kretprobes.

This patch adds CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_KRETPROBES to the
arch//Kconfig file for relevant architectures with kprobes
support. This facilitates easy handling of in-kernel modules (like
samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c) that depend on kretprobes

Oops. Well... is there any other CPU? Apart from MN10300, that is... :-)

Untrue. We've been discussing it on list in the past and its now on
bugzilla. Not obvious from outside I realise. That one I'm afraid is
probably a

For Nvidia devices those would only be present if there were problems
with the AHCI hardware right, which would mean you could simply tell us
what workarounds to implement.
