Hi there!
I download git snapshots regularly. With kernels 2.6.23-rc1-git8 through
git10 the machine
hung while booting the kernel, right after the message "Marking TSC
unstable due to..."
With -git8 I didn't know how to debug the problem, so I used the
previous kernel that worked.

Rather than sign direct radix-tree pointers with a special bit, sign
the indirect one that hangs off the root. This means that, given a
lookup_slot operation, the invalid result will be differentiated from
the valid (previously, valid results could have the bit either set or
clear).

Both pointing devices work for a while, but eventually start to 'stick'. The
cursor won't move for about a second, and then it jerks all over the screen,
clicking.

I think users should be able to set max_user_freq values for rtc and
hpet during kernel configuration. The default value is set to 1024
with this patch.
The default value of 64 is really too small for modern multimedia apps.
Besides, this patch fixes link on intel hpet spec.

Hi,
Currently scripts/ver_linux prints "Binutils" or other random
information for the version number in the "binutils" output line
on some distributions. This patch corrects that.
When I initially submitted a patch to correct that, I was not aware
that the output from "ld -v" could differ as m

First, did you confirm this behavior? Can you please explain that?
How could they possibly interact with one another?

This topic seems to come up periodically every since we first introduced
the NUMA scheduler, and every time we decide it's a bad idea. What's
changed? What workloads does this improve (aside from some artificial
benchmark like stream)?

Looks like the same problem with spinlock unfairness we've seen
elsewhere: it seems to be looping here? Or is everyone stuck
just waiting for writeout?
lock_timer_base():
for (;;) {
tvec_base_t *prelock_base = timer->base;
base = tbase_get_base(prelock_base)

depmod is working fine.
It's the interaction between your two patches that breaks it

Do you mean deprecate a.out interpreters?
I could imagine that there might be some people running some very old
statically linked programs from a decade or so ago, but I agree they
are pretty small in number. Is the fs/binfmt_aout.c causing problems?
It's only 562 lines of code...
