Mike Galbraith c36264dfb2 [PATCH] remove the syslog interface when printk is disabled
Attempts to read() from the non-existent dmesg buffer will return zero and
userspace tends to get stuck in a busyloop.

So just remove /dev/kmsg altogether if CONFIG_PRINTK=n.

Thomas Gleixner cfd1893477 [PATCH] ktime: Fix signed / unsigned mismatch in ktime_to_ns
The 32 bit implementation of ktime_to_ns returns unsigned value, while the
64 bit version correctly returns an signed value.  There is no current user
affected by this, but it has to be fixed, as ktime values can be negative.

Andrey Savochkin b46be05004 [PATCH] retries in ext4_prepare_write() violate ordering requirements
In journal=ordered or journal=data mode retry in ext4_prepare_write()
breaks the requirements of journaling of data with respect to metadata.
The fix is to call commit_write to commit allocated zero blocks before
retry.

Kristian Kielhofner 0d75565f1e [PATCH] PCEngines WRAP LED Support
A driver for the PCEngines WRAP boards (http://www.pcengines.ch), which are
very similar to the Soekris net4801 (same NS SC1100 geode reference
design).

The LEDs on the WRAP are on different GPIO lines and I have modified and
copied the net48xx error led support for this.  It also includes support
for an "extra" led (in addition to error).  The three LEDs on the WRAP are
at GPIO lines 2,3,18 (WRAP LEDs from left to right).  This driver gives
access to the second and third LEDs by twiddling GPIO lines 3 & 18.

Because these boards are so similar to the net48xx, I basically sed-ed that
driver to form the basis for leds-wrap.c.  The only changes from
leds-net48xx.c are:

 - #define WRAP_EXTRA_LED_GPIO

 - name changes

 - duplicate relevant sections to provide support for the "extra" led

 - reverse the various *_led_set values.  The WRAP is "backwards" from the
   net48xx, and these needed to be updated for that.

Alan Cox 40fcfc8722 [PATCH] HZ: 300Hz support
Fix two things.  Firstly the unit is "Hz" not "HZ".  Secondly it is useful
to have 300Hz support when doing multimedia work.  250 is fine for us in
Europe but the US frame rate is 30fps (29.99 blah for pedants).  300 gives
us a tick divisible by both 25 and 30, and for interlace work 50 and 60.
It's also giving similar performance to 250Hz.

I'd argue we should remove 250 and add 300, but that might be excess
disruption for now.

Ingo Molnar ece8a684c7 [PATCH] sleep profiling
Implement prof=sleep profiling.  TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE sleeps will be taken
as a profile hit, and every millisecond spent sleeping causes a profile-hit
for the call site that initiated the sleep.

Sample readprofile output on i386:

   306 ps2_sendbyte                               1.3973
   432 call_usermodehelper_keys                   1.9548

   790 __driver_attach                            4.7879
  1593 msleep                                    44.2500
  3976 sync_buffer                               64.1290
  4076 do_lookup                                 12.4648
  8587 sync_page                                122.6714
 20820 total                                      0.0067

(NOTE: architectures need to check whether get_wchan() can be called from
deep within the wakeup path.)

akpm: we need to mark more functions __sched.  lock_sock(), msleep(), others..

akpm: the contention in do_lookup() is a surprise.  Presumably doing disk
reads for directory contents while holding i_mutex.

Phillip Lougher 8bb0269160 [PATCH] corrupted cramfs filesystems cause kernel oops
Steve Grubb's fzfuzzer tool (http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/
fsfuzzer-0.6.tar.gz) generates corrupt Cramfs filesystems which cause
Cramfs to kernel oops in cramfs_uncompress_block().  The cause of the oops
is an unchecked corrupted block length field read by cramfs_readpage().

This patch adds a sanity check to cramfs_readpage() which checks that the
block length field is sensible.  The (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE << 1) size check is
intentional, even though the uncompressed data is not going to be larger
than PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, gzip sometimes generates compressed data larger than
the original source data.  Mkcramfs checks that the compressed size is
always less than or equal to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE << 1.  Of course Cramfs could
use the original uncompressed data in this case, but it doesn't.

It turns out that the "-c" option of cpio is highly unportable even between
distros let alone unix variants, and may actually make the wrong type of
cpio archive.  I just wasted quite some time on this, and the kernel can
detect this and warn about it (it's __init memory so it gets thrown away
and thus there is no runtime overhead)

Derek Fults 22f2e28017 [PATCH] get_options to allow a hypenated range for isolcpus
This allows a hyphenated range of positive numbers in the string passed
to command line helper function, get_options.

Currently the command line option "isolcpus=" takes as its argument a
list of cpus.

Format: <cpu number>,...,<cpu number>
Valid values of <cpu_number>  include all cpus, 0 to "number of CPUs in
system - 1". This can get extremely long when isolating the majority of
cpus on a large system.  The kernel isolcpus code would not need any
changing to use this feature.  To use it, the change would be in the
command line format for 'isolcpus='
Format:
<cpu number>,...,<cpu number>
or
<cpu number>-<cpu number>  (must be a positive range in ascending
order.)
or a mixture
<cpu number>,...,<cpu number>-<cpu number>
