	Revert this June 17 patch: it broke persistence of timers across execve(). Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: george anzinger <george@mvista.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-07-28	[PATCH] posix timers: fix normalization problem	George Anzinger	1	-14/+3
	(We found this (after a customer complained) and it is in the kernel.org kernel. Seems that for CLOCK_MONOTONIC absolute timers and clock_nanosleep calls both the request time and wall_to_monotonic are subtracted prior to the normalize resulting in an overflow in the existing normalize test. This causes the result to be shifted ~4 seconds ahead instead of ~2 seconds back in time.) The normalize code in posix-timers.c fails when the tv_nsec member is ~1.2 seconds negative. This can happen on absolute timers (and clock_nanosleeps) requested on CLOCK_MONOTONIC (both the request time and wall_to_monotonic are subtracted resulting in the possibility of a number close to -2 seconds.) This fix uses the set_normalized_timespec() (which does not have an overflow problem) to fix the problem and as a side effect makes the code cleaner.

2005-06-23	[PATCH] posix-timers: use try_to_del_timer_sync()	Oleg Nesterov	1	-27/+7
	sys_timer_settime/sys_timer_delete needs to delete k_itimer->real.timer synchronously while holding ->it_lock, which is also locked in posix_timer_fn. This patch removes timer_active/set_timer_inactive which plays with timer_list's internals in favour of using try_to_del_timer_sync(), which was introduced in the previous patch.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+1584
	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!
