The patchset contains mainly performance, scalability and NUMA stuff, and anything else that stops things from irritating me. It's meant to be pretty stable, not so much a testing ground for new stuff.
I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone willing to test on any platform, however large or small.
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mbligh/2.6.0-test11/patch-2.6.0-test11-mjb2.bz2
Since 2.6.0-test11-mjb1 (~ = changed, + = added, - = dropped)
Notes: Major resync with akpm, and merged 4/4 split
Now in Linus' tree:
Dropped:
- nolock Dave McCracken Not really dropped, but folded into the objrmap patch
New:
~ kgdb Various Grabbed updated version from akpm
+ ppc64_bar_0_fix Anton Blanchard + ppc64_reloc_hide Anton Blanchard / Paul Mackerras + ppc64_sched_clock_fix Anton Blanchard / Paul Mackerras + ppc64_use_statfs64 Anton Blanchard + ppc64_compat_clock Olaf Hering + ppc64_numa_sign_extn Anton Blanchard + ppc64_IRQ_INPROGRESS_fix Anton Blanchard PPC 64 fixups
~ lockmeter John Hawkes / Hanna Linder Updated version from akpm + rolled in fixes
+ vm86_sysenter_fix Brian Gerst Re-enable sysenter after task switch
+ oops_dump_preceding_code Andrew Morton dump opcodes preceding and after the offending EIP.
+ 4g4g Ingo Molnar Provide a 4G/4G user/kernel split for 32 bit memory lushes.
~ emulex Emulex / Pat Mansfield New version that can be compiled in (not a module)
~ implicit_huge_pages Adam Litke / wli / Brian T. New version to fix up some bogons on PPC64.
~ kcg Adam Litke Seemed we lost the PPC64 support somehow. put it back.
+ multiple_emulex Jose Santos Performance fix for multiple emulex cards.
Pending: lotsa_sds config_numasched list_of_lists Hyperthreaded scheduler (Ingo Molnar) scheduler callers profiling (Anton or Bill Hartner) Child runs first (akpm) Kexec e1000 fixes pidmaps_nodepages (Dave Hansen)
