Finally eradicate CONFIG_HOTPLUG

2013-06-03T21:20:18Z

Ever since commit 45f035ab9b8f ("CONFIG_HOTPLUG should be always on"), it has been basically impossible to build a kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG turned off. Remove all the remaining references to it.

Documentation/SubmitChecklist: add RCU debug config options

2011-07-26T03:57:17Z

There have been persistent lockdep RCU splats, indicating that submitters are not testing with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU. Add this config option to the list in Documentation/SubmitChecklist. Also add CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD for good measure. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

sched: Generalize sleep inside spinlock detection

2011-06-22T22:44:38Z

The sleeping inside spinlock detection is actually used for more general sleeping inside atomic sections debugging: preemption disabled, rcu read side critical sections, interrupts, interrupt disabled, etc... Change the name of the config and its help section to reflect its more general role. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Acked-by: Paul E.

Documentation: update SubmitChecklist for O=objdir and kconfig testing

2010-05-24T14:31:20Z

Add build testing using 'O=builddir'. Add build testing with various kconfig symbols disabled, listing common ones that are known to cause build problems. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Documentation/SubmitChecklist: add rule #1

2010-03-12T23:52:35Z

Add header file requirements. Compliments of Stephen Rothwell. Stephen calls this Rule #1, so I put it there, but I didn't want to demote any of the others in the list, so I made one of them number 2b.

doc: SubmitChecklist, add ioctls, remove OSDL reference

2009-12-16T15:20:06Z

If a patch adds ioctls, then Documentation/ioctl/ioctl-number.txt should also be updated. Remove reference to the OSDL PLM build farm. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

block: rename CONFIG_LBD to CONFIG_LBDAF

2009-06-19T06:08:50Z

Follow-up to "block: enable by default support for large devices and files on 32-bit archs". Rename CONFIG_LBD to CONFIG_LBDAF to: - allow update of existing [def]configs for "default y" change - reflect that it is used also for large files support nowadays Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

documentation: explain memory barriers

2008-10-16T18:21:32Z

We want all uses of memory barriers to be explained in the source code. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

SubmitChecklist: interfaces changes should CC linux-api@

2008-10-04T01:22:18Z

Mention that patches that change the kernel-userland interface should be CCed to the new list linux-api@vger.kernel.org. Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Documentation: prune redundant SubmitChecklist items

2008-02-14T00:21:18Z

Kernel style is mentioned twice, and the git apply trick is a bit redundant given the checkpatch.pl recommendation (which also checks for bad whitespace). Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields Cc: "Randy.Dunlap" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
