3a0f69d59b [PATCH] common compat_sys_timer_create
The comment in compat.c is wrong, every architecture provides a
get_compat_sigevent() for the IPC compat code already.

This basically moves the x86_64 version to common code and removes all the
others.

4ae362be50 [PATCH] kdump: read previous kernel's memory
- Moving the crash_dump.c file to arch dependent part as kmap_atomic_pfn is
  specific to i386 and highmem may not exist in other archs.

- Use ioremap for x86_64 to map the previous kernel memory.

- In copy_oldmem_page(), we now directly copy to the user/kernel buffer and
  avoid the unneccesary copy to a kmalloc'd page.

e996e58133 [PATCH] kdump: save registers early (inline functions)
- If system panics then cpu register states are captured through funciton
  crash_get_current_regs().  This is not a inline function hence a stack frame
  is pushed on to the stack and then cpu register state is captured.  Later
  this frame is popped and new frames are pushed (machine_kexec).

- In theory this is not very right as we are capturing register states for a
  frame and that frame is no more valid.  This seems to have created back
  trace problems for ppc64.

- This patch fixes it up.  The very first thing it does after entering
  crash_kexec() is to capture the register states.  Anyway we don't want the
  back trace beyond crash_kexec().  crash_get_current_regs() has been made
  inline

- crash_setup_regs() is the top architecture dependent function which should
  be responsible for capturing the register states as well as to do some
  architecture dependent tricks.  For ex.  fixing up ss and esp for i386.
  crash_setup_regs() has also been made inline to ensure no new call frame is
  pushed onto stack.

51be5606d9 [PATCH] kdump: export per cpu crash notes pointer through sysfs
- Kexec on panic functionality allocates memory for saving cpu registers in
  case of system crash event.  Address of this allocated memory needs to be
  exported to user space, which is used by kexec-tools.

- Previously, a single /sys/kernel/crash_notes entry was being exported as
  memory allocated was a single continuous array.  Now memory allocation being
  dyanmic and per cpu based, address of per cpu buffer is exported through
  "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/crash_notes"

cc57165874 [PATCH] kdump: dynamic per cpu allocation of memory for saving cpu registers
- In case of system crash, current state of cpu registers is saved in memory
  in elf note format.  So far memory for storing elf notes was being allocated
  statically for NR_CPUS.

- This patch introduces dynamic allocation of memory for storing elf notes.
  It uses alloc_percpu() interface.  This should lead to better memory usage.

- Introduced based on Andi Kleen's and Eric W. Biederman's suggestions.

- This patch also moves memory allocation for elf notes from architecture
  dependent portion to architecture independent portion.  Now crash_notes is
  architecture independent.  The whole idea is that size of memory to be
  allocated per cpu (MAX_NOTE_BYTES) can be architecture dependent and
  allocation of this memory can be architecture independent.

dbc1651f0c [PATCH] rcu: don't set ->next_pending in rcu_start_batch()
I think it is better to set ->next_pending in the caller, when
it is needed. This saves one parameter, and this coincides with
cpu_quiet() beahaviour, which sets ->completed = ->cur itself.
