Remove the arm26 port

2007-07-31T22:39:39+00:00

The arm26 port has been in a state where it was far from even compiling
for quite some time.

Ian Molton agreed with the removal.

take declarations of enable_irq() et.al. to linux/interrupt.h

2007-07-22T18:44:00+00:00

Now that the last inlined instances are gone, all that is left to do
is turning disable_irq_nosync on arm26 and m68k from defines to aliases
and we are all set - we can make these externs in linux/interrupt.h
uncoditional and kill remaining instances in asm/irq.h

mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().

2007-07-20T01:11:58+00:00

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

mm: fault feedback #2

2007-07-19T17:04:41+00:00

This patch completes Linus's wish that the fault return codes be made into
bit flags, which I agree makes everything nicer.  This requires requires
all handle_mm_fault callers to be modified (possibly the modifications
should go further and do things like fault accounting in handle_mm_fault --
however that would be for another patch).

PTRACE_POKEDATA consolidation

2007-07-17T17:23:03+00:00

Identical implementations of PTRACE_POKEDATA go into generic_ptrace_pokedata()
function.

AFAICS, fix bug on xtensa where successful PTRACE_POKEDATA will nevertheless
return EPERM.

Report that kernel is tainted if there was an OOPS

2007-07-17T17:23:02+00:00

If the kernel OOPSed or BUGed then it probably should be considered as
tainted.  Thus, all subsequent OOPSes and SysRq dumps will report the
tainted kernel.  This saves a lot of time explaining oddities in the
calltraces.

Remove the last few UMSDOS leftovers

2007-07-16T16:05:51+00:00

The UMSDOS filesystem was removed back in 2.6.11, but some tiny bits stuck
around.  This patch removes the few remaining leftovers.  The only things
left behind after this are the entries in the CREDITS file and the ioctl
number in Documentation/ioctl-number.txt as documentation.

This third (hopefully final) version of the patch doesn't edit the
arch/um/config.release file, since Jeff Dike pointed out to me that it
should die completely, and asked me to remove it from my patch as he'll
send in a seperate patch removing the file completely.

dma-mapping: prevent dma dependent code from linking on !HAS_DMA archs

2007-07-16T16:05:45+00:00

Continuing the work started in 411f0f3edc141a582190d3605cadd1d993abb6df ...

This enables code with a dma path, that compiles away, to build without
requiring additional code factoring.  It also prevents code that calls
dma_alloc_coherent and dma_free_coherent from linking whereas previously
the code would hit a BUG() at run time.  Finally, it allows archs that set
!HAS_DMA to delete their asm/dma-mapping.h file.
