7bf2368742 [PATCH] swsusp: Do not fail if resume device is not set
In the kernels later than 2.6.19 there is a regression that makes swsusp
fail if the resume device is not explicitly specified.

It can be fixed by adding an additional parameter to
mm/swapfile.c:swap_type_of() allowing us to pass the (struct block_device
*) corresponding to the first available swap back to the caller.

a416aba637 [PATCH] kernelparams: detect if and which parameter parsing enabled irq's
The parsing of some kernel parameters seem to enable irq's at a stage that
irq's are not supposed to be enabled (Particularly the ide kernel parameters).

Having irq's enabled before the irq controller is initialized might lead to a
kernel panic.  This patch only detects this behaviour and warns about wich
parameter caused it.

241ceee0b4 [PATCH] restore ->pdeath_signal behaviour
Commit b2b2cbc4b2 introduced a user-
visible change: ->pdeath_signal is sent only when the entire thread
group exits.

While this change is imho good, it may break things.  So restore the
old behaviour for now.

9414232fa0 [PATCH] sched: fix cond_resched_softirq() offset
Remove the __resched_legal() check: it is conceptually broken.  The biggest
problem it had is that it can mask buggy cond_resched() calls.  A
cond_resched() call is only legal if we are not in an atomic context, with
two narrow exceptions:

 - if the system is booting
 - a reacquire_kernel_lock() down() done while PREEMPT_ACTIVE is set

But __resched_legal() hid this and just silently returned whenever
these primitives were called from invalid contexts. (Same goes for
cond_resched_locked() and cond_resched_softirq()).

Furthermore, the __legal_resched(0) call was buggy in that it caused
unnecessarily long softirq latencies via cond_resched_softirq().  (which is
only called from softirq-off sections, hence the code did nothing.)

The fix is to resurrect the efficiency of the might_sleep checks and to
only allow the narrow exceptions.

e1d9fd2e3d [PATCH] suspend: fix suspend on single-CPU systems
Clark Williams reported that suspend doesnt work on his laptop on
2.6.20-rc1-rt kernels. The bug was introduced by the following cleanup
commit:

 commit 112cecb2cc
 Author: Siddha, Suresh B <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com>
 Date:   Wed Dec 6 20:34:31 2006 -0800

    [PATCH] suspend: don't change cpus_allowed for task initiating the suspend

because with this change 'error' is not initialized to 0 anymore, if
there are no other online CPUs. (i.e. if the system is single-CPU).

the fix is the initialize it to 0. The really weird thing is that my
version of gcc does not warn about this non-initialized variable
situation ...

(also fix the kernel printk in the error branch, it was missing a
 newline)

b2b2cbc4b2 [PATCH] Fix reparenting to the same thread group. (take 2)
This patch fixes the case when we reparent to a different thread in the
same thread group.  This modifies the code so that we do not send
signals and do not change the signal to send to SIGCHLD unless we have
change the thread group of our parents.  It also suppresses sending
pdeath_sig in this cas as well since the result of geppid doesn't
change.

Thanks to Oleg for spotting my bug of only fixing this for non-ptraced
tasks.

01b2d93ca4 [PATCH] fdtable: Provide free_fdtable() wrapper
Christoph Hellwig has expressed concerns that the recent fdtable changes
expose the details of the RCU methodology used to release no-longer-used
fdtable structures to the rest of the kernel.  The trivial patch below
addresses these concerns by introducing the appropriate free_fdtable()
calls, which simply wrap the release RCU usage.  Since free_fdtable() is a
one-liner, it makes sense to promote it to an inline helper.

ba0084048a [PATCH] Conditionally check expected_preempt_count in __resched_legal()
Commit 2d7d253548 ("fix cond_resched() fix")
introduced an 'expected_preempt_count' parameter to __resched_legal() to
fix a bug where it was returning a false negative when called from
cond_resched_lock() and preemption was enabled.

Unfortunately this broke things for when preemption is disabled.
preempt_count() will always return zero, thus failing the check against any
value of expected_preempt_count not equal to zero.  cond_resched_lock() for
example, passes an expected_preempt_count value of 1.

So fix the fix for the cond_resched() fix by skipping the check of
preempt_count() against expected_preempt_count when preemption is disabled.

Credit should go to Sunil Mushran for spotting the bug during testing.

bc947631d1 [PATCH] sched: improve efficiency of sched_fork()
Problem:
  sched_fork() has always called scheduler_tick() in some (unlikely)
  circumstances in order to update the current task in light of those
  circumstances.  It has always been the case that the work done by
  scheduler_tick() was more than was required to handle the problem in
  hand but no harm was done except for the waste of a few CPU cycles.

  However, the splitting of scheduler_tick() into two procedures in
  2.6.20-rc1 enables the wasted cycles to be saved as the new procedure
  task_running_tick() does all the work that is required to rectify the
  problem being handled.

Solution:
  Replace the call to scheduler_tick() in sched_fork() with a call to
  task_running_tick().
