Convert over to the new NMI handling for getting IPMI watchdog
timeouts via an NMI. This add config options to know if there
is the ability to receive NMIs and if it has an NMI post processing
call. Then it modifies the IPMI watchdog to take advantage of
this so that it can know if an NMI comes

According to the lore(1) the reason that the kernel unconditionally

The issue is that if you force num lock on, then laptop users are messed
up since for most laptops your keyboard changes as follows:

Basically freeze_processes doesnt seem to work at the early stages of
bootup (during smp_init) and hence the hack.
One option is to investigate why it did

Its probably safe to take the workqueue (spin) lock here
Hello,
currently i'm trying to measure the cpu times for
numerical algorithms written in C using two calls of
getrusage() and then calculating the time difference.
According to the man page of getrusage i looked at the
user time of my process. Surprisingly the measured user
times vary strongly de
Hello,
I have an issue with latest 2.6.20 kernel..
my last kernel was a 2.6.18 and I wanted to upgrade to a 2.6.20, I
copied .config and did a make menuconfig, then save/quit. I compiled
new kernel, all went fine.
I installed it and at boot time, I had a hang just after "Freeing

The change to force legacy mode IDE channels' resources to fixed
non-zero values confuses (at least some versions of) X, because the
values reported by the kernel and those readable from PCI config space
aren't consistent anymore. Therefore, this patch arranges for the
respective BARs to also get u

Oleg,
This patch probably needs review for any races we may have
missed to account for. Also we have considered only workqueue.c present

use git-daemon to push changes into a repo, something very handy for

This patch rips out lock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel.
Good Riddance!! (hopefully :) )

This patch implements process_freezer based cpu-hotplug
core.
The sailent features are:
o No more (un)lock_cpu_hotplug.
o No more CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE and CPU_LOCK_RELEASE. Hence no per-subsystem
hotcpu mutexes.
o Calls freeze_process/thaw_processes at the beginning/end of
the hotplug operation.

Hello Everybody,
This is an experiment towards process_freezer based implementation

This is an absolute bare-minimal implementation to chec
