2005-08-05	[PATCH] Fix semundo lock leakage	Ingo Molnar	1	-7/+3
	semundo->lock can leak if semundo->refcount goes from 2 to 1 while another thread has it locked. This causes major problems for PREEMPT kernels. The simplest fix for now is to undo the single-thread optimization. This bug was found via relentless testing by Dominik Karall.

2005-08-01	[PATCH] shm: CONFIG_SHMEM=n build fix	Andrew Morton	1	-1/+1
	Fix bug found by Grant Coady <lkml@dodo.com.au>'s autobuild setup. shmem_set_policy() and shmem_get_policy() are macros if !CONFIG_SHMEM, so this doesn't work. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-07-12	[PATCH] xtensa: remove old syscalls	Chris Zankel	1	-1/+1
	This patch fixes some minor bugs introduced by the previous patch (remove old syscalls). Both patches remove the obsolete syscalls. The changes in this patch were suggested by Arnd Bergmann. The vmlinux.lds.S changes are required for the latest gcc/binutils.

2005-07-07	[PATCH] put_compat_shminfo() warning fix	Jesse Millan	1	-0/+1
	GCC 4 complains because the function put_compat_shminfo() can't get to its return statement if there is no error... If the function does not return -EFAULT, it doesn't return anything at all. Looks like a typo.

2005-06-23	[PATCH] ipcsem: remove superflous decrease variable from sys_semtimedop	Manfred Spraul	1	-6/+3
	Patrick noticed that the initial scan of the semaphore operations logs decrease and increase operations seperately, but then both cases are or'ed together and decrease is never used. The attached patch removes the decrease parameter - it shrinks sys_semtimedop() by 56 bytes.

2005-05-01	[PATCH] convert that currently tests _NSIG directly to use valid_signal()	Jesper Juhl	1	-2/+2
	Convert most of the current code that uses _NSIG directly to instead use valid_signal(). This avoids gcc -W warnings and off-by-one errors. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <juhl-lkml@dif.dk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-05-01	[PATCH] use smp_mb/wmb/rmb where possible	akpm@osdl.org	1	-2/+2
	Replace a number of memory barriers with smp_ variants. This means we won't take the unnecessary hit on UP machines. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	10	-0/+6045
	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!
