2006-06-25	[PATCH] kernel/sys.c: cleanups	Adrian Bunk	1	-2/+2
	- proper prototypes for the following functions: - ctrl_alt_del() (in include/linux/reboot.h) - getrusage() (in include/linux/resource.h) - make the following needlessly global functions static: - kernel_restart_prepare() - kernel_kexec() [akpm@osdl.org: compile fix] Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-09-22	[PATCH] reboot: comment and factor the main reboot functions	Eric W. Biederman	1	-0/+4
	In the lead up to 2.6.13 I fixed a large number of reboot problems by making the calling conventions consistent. Despite checking and double checking my work it appears I missed an obvious one. This first patch simply refactors the reboot routines so all of the preparation for various kinds of reboots are in their own functions. Making it very hard to get the various kinds of reboot out of sync. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2005-07-26	[PATCH] Add emergency_restart()	Eric W. Biederman	1	-0/+7
	When the kernel is working well and we want to restart cleanly kernel_restart is the function to use. But in many instances the kernel wants to reboot when thing are expected to be working very badly such as from panic or a software watchdog handler. This patch adds the function emergency_restart() so that callers can be clear what semantics they expect when calling restart. emergency_restart() is expected to be callable from interrupt context and possibly reliable in even more trying circumstances. This is an initial generic implementation for all architectures. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-07-26	[PATCH] Refactor sys_reboot into reusable parts	Eric W. Biederman	1	-0/+9
	Because the factors of sys_reboot don't exist people calling into the reboot path duplicate the code badly, leading to inconsistent expectations of code in the reboot path. This patch should is just code motion. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-06-25	[PATCH] kdump: Use real pt_regs from exception	Alexander Nyberg	1	-1/+2
	Makes kexec_crashdump() take a pt_regs * as an argument. This allows to get exact register state at the point of the crash. If we come from direct panic assertion NULL will be passed and the current registers saved before crashdump. This hooks into two places: die(): check the conditions under which we will panic when calling do_exit and go there directly with the pt_regs that caused the fatal fault. die_nmi(): If we receive an NMI lockup while in the kernel use the pt_regs and go directly to crash_kexec(). We're probably nested up badly at this point so this might be the only chance to escape with proper information.

2005-06-25	[PATCH] kexec: add kexec syscalls	Eric W. Biederman	1	-0/+3
	This patch introduces the architecture independent implementation the sys_kexec_load, the compat_sys_kexec_load system calls. Kexec on panic support has been integrated into the core patch and is relatively clean. In addition the hopefully architecture independent option crashkernel=size@location has been docuemented. It's purpose is to reserve space for the panic kernel to live, and where no DMA transfer will ever be setup to access.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+56
	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!
