Adrian Bunk f346f4b373 [PATCH] let MAGIC_SYSRQ no longer depend on DEBUG_KERNEL
I know several people using MAGIC_SYSRQ not for kernel debugging but for
trying to do a halfway normal shutdown in case of problems.

Since there's no technical reason why MAGIC_SYSRQ would have to depend on
DEBUG_KERNEL, I'm therefore suggesting to drop this dependency.

Martin Schwidefsky 347a8dc3b8 [PATCH] s390: cleanup Kconfig
Sanitize some s390 Kconfig options.  We have ARCH_S390, ARCH_S390X,
ARCH_S390_31, 64BIT, S390_SUPPORT and COMPAT.  Replace these 6 options by
S390, 64BIT and COMPAT.

Nick Piggin 13e7444b0e [PATCH] mm: remove bad_range
bad_range is supposed to be a temporary check.  It would be a pity to throw it
out.  Make it depend on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM instead.

CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE systems were relying on this to check pfn_valid in the
page allocator.  Add that to page_is_buddy instead.

Paul E. McKenney a241ec65ae [PATCH] RCU torture-testing kernel module
This patch is a rewrite of the one submitted on October 1st, using modules
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112819093522998&w=2).

This rewrite adds a tristate CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST, which enables an
intense torture test of the RCU infratructure.  This is needed due to the
continued changes to the RCU infrastructure to accommodate dynamic ticks,
CPU hotplug, realtime, and so on.  Most of the code is in a separate file
that is compiled only if the CONFIG variable is set.  Documentation on how
to run the test and interpret the output is also included.

This code has been tested on i386 and ppc64, and an earlier version of the
code has received extensive testing on a number of architectures as part of
the PREEMPT_RT patchset.

Ingo Molnar 8446f1d391 [PATCH] detect soft lockups
This patch adds a new kernel debug feature: CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP.

When enabled then per-CPU watchdog threads are started, which try to run
once per second.  If they get delayed for more than 10 seconds then a
callback from the timer interrupt detects this condition and prints out a
warning message and a stack dump (once per lockup incident).  The feature
is otherwise non-intrusive, it doesnt try to unlock the box in any way, it
only gets the debug info out, automatically, and on all CPUs affected by
the lockup.

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso 37fce857be [PATCH] uml: split CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER from DEBUG_INFO
Until now, FRAME_POINTER was set = DEBUG_INFO for UML.  Change it to be the
default way, so that it can be enabled alone (for instance to get better
backtraces on crashes).  The call-trace dumper which uses the frame pointer is
not yet in, I'm going to introduce it in a separate patch.

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!
