kernel/Documentation, branch linux-2.6.12.y

Update DCO ("signoff") rules to 1.1

2005-06-14T00:51:55Z

This adds a clause that notes explicitly that the person doing the sign-off knows that the project (and his sign-off) is public and will possibly get archived and re-distributed.

[PATCH] x86_64: Add option to disable timer check

2005-05-20T22:48:21Z

This works around the too fast timer seen on some ATI boards. I don't feel confident enough about it yet to enable it by default, but give users the option. Patch and debugging from Christopher Allen Wing , with minor tweaks (renamed the option and documented it) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] cpusets+hotplug+preepmt broken

2005-05-20T22:48:19Z

This patch removes the entwining of cpusets and hotplug code in the "No more Mr. Nice Guy" case of sched.c move_task_off_dead_cpu(). Since the hotplug code is holding a spinlock at this point, we cannot take the cpuset semaphore, cpuset_sem, as would seem to be required either to update the tasks cpuset, or to scan up the nested cpuset chain, looking for the nearest cpuset ancestor that still has some CPUs that are online. So we just punt and blast the tasks cpus_allowed with all bits allowed. This reverts these lines of code to what they were before the cpuset patch. And it updates the cpuset Doc file, to match. The one known alternative to this that seems to work came from Dinakar Guniguntala, and required the hotplug code to take the cpuset_sem semaphore much earlier in its processing. So far as we know, the increased locking entanglement between cpusets and hot plug of this alternative approach is not worth doing in this case.
