Christoph Lameter 8c5a09082f [PATCH] x86/x86_64: pcibus_to_node
Define pcibus_to_node to be able to figure out which NUMA node contains a
given PCI device.  This defines pcibus_to_node(bus) in
include/linux/topology.h and adjusts the macros for i386 and x86_64 that
already provided a way to determine the cpumask of a pci device.

x86_64 was changed to not build an array of cpumasks anymore.  Instead an
array of nodes is build which can be used to generate the cpumask via
node_to_cpumask.

Abhijit Karmarkar b4955ce3dd [PATCH] msync: check pte dirty earlier
It's common practice to msync a large address range regularly, in which
often only a few ptes have actually been dirtied since the previous pass.

sync_pte_range then goes much faster if it tests whether pte is dirty
before locating and accessing each struct page cacheline; and it is hardly
slowed by ptep_clear_flush_dirty repeating that test in the opposite case,
when every pte actually is dirty.

But beware, s390's pte_dirty always says false, since its dirty bit is kept
in the storage key, located via the struct page address.  So skip this
optimization in its case: use a pte_maybe_dirty macro which just says true
if page_test_and_clear_dirty is implemented.

David Woodhouse 075d6eb16d [PATCH] ppc32: platform-specific functions missing from kallsyms.
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.

Al Viro b1ecb4c3a9 [PATCH] asm/signal.h unification
New file - asm-generic/signal.h.  Contains declarations of
__sighandler_t, __sigrestore_t, SIG_DFL, SIG_IGN, SIG_ERR and default
definitions of SIG_BLOCK, SIG_UNBLOCK and SIG_SETMASK.

asm-*/signal.h switched to including it.  The only exception is
asm-parisc/signal.h that wants its own declaration of __sighandler_t;
that one is left as-is.

asm-ppc64/signal.h required one more thing - unlike everybody else it
used __sigrestorer_t instead of usual __sigrestore_t.  PPC64 switched to
common spelling.

Stephen Rothwell a71c1ab50a [PATCH] consolidate SIGEV_PAD_SIZE
Discussing with Matthew Wilcox some of his outstanding patches lead me to
this patch (among others).

The preamble in struct sigevent can be expressed independently of the
architecture.

Also use __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE on ia64.

Joe Korty 4750e2c0c5 [PATCH] add EOWNERDEAD and ENOTRECOVERABLE version 2
Add EOWNERDEAD and ENOTRECOVERABLE to all architectures.  This is to
support the upcoming patches for robust mutexes.

We normally don't reserve parts of the name/number space for external
patches, but robust mutexes are sufficiently popular and important to
justify it in this case.

Matt Mackall e43379f10b [PATCH] nice and rt-prio rlimits
Add a pair of rlimits for allowing non-root tasks to raise nice and rt
priorities. Defaults to traditional behavior. Originally written by
Chris Wright.

The patch implements a simple rlimit ceiling for the RT (and nice) priorities
a task can set.  The rlimit defaults to 0, meaning no change in behavior by
default.  A value of 50 means RT priority levels 1-50 are allowed.  A value of
100 means all 99 privilege levels from 1 to 99 are allowed.  CAP_SYS_NICE is
blanket permission.

(akpm: see http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0503.1/1921.html for
tips on integrating this with PAM).

Al Viro 3106dbcd91 [PATCH] __get_unaligned() turned into macro
Turns __get_unaligned() and __put_unaligned into macros.  That is
definitely safe; leaving them as inlines breaks on e.g.  alpha [try to
build ncpfs there and you'll get unresolved symbols since we end up
getting __get_unaligned() not inlined].

Hugh Dickins 8f6c99c11a [PATCH] freepgt: remove arch pgd_addr_end
ia64 and sparc64 hurriedly had to introduce their own variants of
pgd_addr_end, to leapfrog over the holes in their virtual address spaces which
the final clear_page_range suddenly presented when converted from pgd_index to
pgd_addr_end.  But now that free_pgtables respects the vma list, those holes
are never presented, and the arch variants can go.

James Bottomley dae409a277 [PATCH] add Big Endian variants of ioread/iowrite
In the new io infrastructure, all of our operators are expecting the
underlying device to be little endian (because the PCI bus, their main
consumer, is LE).

However, there are a fair few devices and busses in the world that are
actually Big Endian.  There's even evidence that some of these BE bus and
chip types are attached to LE systems.  Thus, there's a need for a BE
equivalent of our io{read,write}{16,32} operations.

The attached patch adds this as io{read,write}{16,32}be.  When it's in,
I'll add the first consume (the 53c700 SCSI chip driver).

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
