2006-01-06	[PATCH] s390: cleanup Kconfig	Martin Schwidefsky	1	-2/+2
	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.

2005-07-26	[PATCH] Call emergency_reboot from panic	Eric W. Biederman	1	-5/+4
	We know the system is in trouble so there is no question if this is an emergecy :) 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/+1
	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	-2/+21
	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.

2005-04-24	[SPARC]: Stop-A printk cleanup	Tom 'spot' Callaway	1	-2/+2
	This patch is incredibly trivial, but it does resolve some of the user confusion as to what "L1-A" actually is. Clarify printk message to refer to Stop-A (L1-A). Gentoo has a virtually identical patch in their kernel sources. Signed-off-by: Tom 'spot' Callaway <tcallawa@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+157
	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!
