On ia64, only the EFI (fat) partition is available to boot from. The rpm
needs to install the kernel under /boot/efi to be useable on ia64.

When I recently submitted a Lindent patch, it turned out that my .indent.pro
options were also applied to the tree. This patch directs indent(1) to ignore
the .indent.pro directives and only use options specified on the command

Recently a change in the glibc elf.h header has been introduced causing
modpost to spawn tons of warnings (like the one below) building the kernel
on sparc:
[SNIP]
*** Warning: "current_thread_info_reg" [net/sunrpc/auth_gss/auth_rpcgss.ko] undefined!
*** Warning: "" [net/sunrpc/auth_gss/auth_rpcgss.ko] undefined!
*** Warning: "" [net/sunrpc/auth_gss/auth_rpcgss.ko] undefined!
[SNIP]
Ben Collins discovered that the STT_REGISTERED definition in glibc did change
and that this change needs to be propagated to modpost.
glibc change:
-#define STT_REGISTER 13 /* Global register reserved to app. */
+#define STT_SPARC_REGISTER 13 /* Global register reserved to app. */
I did and tested this simple patch to maintain compatibility with newer (>= 2.3.4)
and older (<= 2.3.2) glibc.

This converts the usage of struct of_match to struct of_device_id,
similar to pci_device_id. This allows a device table to be generated,
which can be parsed by depmod(8) to generate a map file for module
loading.
In order for hotplug to work with macio devices, patches to
module-init-tools and hotplug must be applied. Those patches are

Add better support for (non-incremental) 2.6.x.y patches; If an ending
version number if not specified, the script automatically increments the
SUBLEVEL (x in 2.6.x.y) until no more patch files are found; however,
EXTRAVERSION (y in 2.6.x.y) is never automatically incremented but must be
specified fully.
patch-kernel does not normally support reverse patching, but does so when
applying EXTRAVERSION (x.y) patches, so that moving from 2.6.11.y to
2.6.11.z is easy and handled by the script (reverse 2.6.11.y and apply
2.6.11.z).

The PPC32 kernel puts platform-specific functions into separate sections so
that unneeded parts of it can be freed when we've booted and actually
worked out what we're running on today.
This makes kallsyms ignore those functions, because they're not between
_[se]text or _[se]inittext. Rather than teaching kallsyms about the
various pmac/chrp/etc sections, this patch adds '_[se]extratext' markers
for kallsyms.

This patch adds i18n support for make *config, allowing users to have the
config process in their own language.
No printk was harmed in the process, don't worry, so all the bug reports,
kernel messages, etc, remain in english, just the user tools to configure
the kernel are internationalized.
Users not interested in translations can just unset the related LANG,
LC_ALL, etc env variables and have the config process in plain english,
something like:
LANG= make menuconfig
is enough for having the whole config process in english. Or just don't
install any translation file.
Translations for brazilian portuguese are being done by a team of
volunteers at:
http://www.visionflex.inf.br/kernel_ptbr/pmwiki.php/Principal/Traducoes
To start the translation process:
make update-po-config
This will generate the pot template named scripts/kconfig/linux.pot,
copy it to, say, ~/es.po, to start the translation for spanish.
To test your translation, as root issue this command:
msgfmt -o /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/linux.mo ~/es.po
Replace "es" with your language code.
Then execute, for instance:
make menuconfig
The current patch doesn't use any optimization to reduce the size of the
generated .mo file, it is possible to use the config option as a key, but
this doesn't prevent the current patch from being used or the translations
done under the current scheme to be in any way lost if we chose to do any
kind of keying.
Thanks to Fabricio Vaccari for starting the pt_BR (brazilian portuguese)
translation effort, Thiago Maciera for helping me with the gconf.cc (QT
frontent) i18n coding and to all the volunteers that are already working on
the first translation, to pt_BR.
I left the question on whether to ship the translations with the stock kernel
sources to be discussed here, please share your suggestions.

I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our
university students again. The documentation could be extended for more
sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I
have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.
I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.
You can see result of the modified documentation build at
http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz
Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated
documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more
section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick
cleanup work.

Another attempt at that...
The attached patch fixes the longstanding problem with USB bcdDevice
numeric ranges incorrectly converted into patterns for MODULE_ALIAS
generation. Previously it put both the lower and the upper limits into
the pattern, dlXdhY, making it impossible to fnmatch against except for
a few special cases, like dl*dh* or dlXdhX.
The patch makes it generate multiple MODULE_ALIAS lines covering the
whole range with fnmatch-able patterns. E.g. for a range between 0x0001
and 0x8345 it gives the following patterns:
000[1-9]
00[1-9]*
0[1-9]*
[1-7]*
8[0-2]*
83[0-3]*
834[0-5]
Since bcdDevice is 2 bytes wide = 4 digits in hex representation, the
max no. of patters is 2 * 4 - 1 = 7.
The values are BCD (binary-coded decimals) and not hex, so patterns
using a dash seem to be safe regardless of locale collation order.
The patch changes bcdDevice part of the alias from dlXdhY to dZ, but
this shouldn't have big compatibility issues because fnmatch()-based
modprobing hasn't yet been widely used. Besides, the most common (and
almost the only working) case of dl*dh* becomes d* and thus continues to
work.
The patch is against 2.6.12-rc2, applies to -mm3 with an offset. The
matching patch to fix the MODALIAS environment variable now generated by
the usb hotplug function follows.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
