[PATCH] free initrd mem adjustment

2005-09-13T15:22:28Z

Besides freeing initrd memory, also clear out the now dangling pointers to it, to make sure accidental late use attempts can be detected. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Add rdinit parameter to pick early userspace init

2005-09-07T23:57:28Z

Since early userspace was added, there's no way to override which init to run from it. Some people tack on an extra cpio archive with a link from /init depending on what they want to run, but that's sometimes impractical. Changing the "init=" to also override the early userspace isn't feasible, since it is still used to indicate what init to run from disk when early userspace has completed doing whatever it's doing (i.e. load filesystem modules and drivers). Instead, introduce "rdinit=" and make it override the default "/init" if specified. Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Add warning `init=' to init/main.c

2005-09-07T23:57:23Z

I passed init=/mylinuxrc to the kernel on the command line. The kernel silently dropped down to exec /sbin/init. It turned out that /mylinuxrc had improper permissions. Without any warning message from the kernel that something was wrong it took awhile to find the issue. The patch below adds a warning. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] detect soft lockups

2005-09-07T23:57:17Z

This patch adds a new kernel debug feature: CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP. When enabled then per-CPU watchdog threads are started, which try to run once per second. If they get delayed for more than 10 seconds then a callback from the timer interrupt detects this condition and prints out a warning message and a stack dump (once per lockup incident). The feature is otherwise non-intrusive, it doesnt try to unlock the box in any way, it only gets the debug info out, automatically, and on all CPUs affected by the lockup.

[PATCH] remove driverfs references from init/do_mounts.c

2005-09-02T07:57:31Z

This patch is against 2.6.10, but still applies cleanly. It's just s/driverfs/sysfs/ in this file. Signed-off-by: Rolf Eike Beer Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[NET]: Fix sparse warnings

2005-08-29T23:01:32Z

Of this type, mostly: CHECK net/ipv6/netfilter.c net/ipv6/netfilter.c:96:12: warning: symbol 'ipv6_netfilter_init' was not declared. Should it be static? net/ipv6/netfilter.c:101:6: warning: symbol 'ipv6_netfilter_fini' was not declared. Should it be static? Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[PATCH] kbuild: automatically append a short string to the version based upon the git commit

2005-08-10T19:11:23Z

If CONFIG_AUTO_LOCALVERSION is set, the user is using a git-based tree, and the current HEAD is not referred to by any tags in .git/refs/tags/, append -g and the first 8 characters of the commit to the version string. This makes it easier to use git-bisect, and/or to do a daily build, without trampling on your older, working builds, or accidentally setting up conflicting sets of modules.

kconfig: move initramfs options to General Setup

2005-08-10T18:44:50Z

Move initramfs options from Device Drivers | Block Drivers to General Setup This is a more natural place for this option. Furthermore separate out intramfs options to usr/Kconfig Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

[PATCH] x86_64: Some cleanup in setup64.c

2005-07-29T04:45:58Z

Minor cleanup. Move things into their include files, remove obsolete includes, fix indentation, remove obsolete special cases etc. I also added the per cpu section to asm-generic/sections.h and fixed init/main.c to use it.
