As a historyless patchset, this gets the merge all wrong. If the reason to put this in tree is to keep the kernel just working then there is a great big hole of 40 patches for git bisect to find.

If they are in the wrong order then that is not good enough. The patch names and descriptions are wrong because the are from the klibc git tree. > 01-add-klibckinit-to-maintainers-file.patch > 02-remove-root-mounting-code-from-the-kernel-.patch > 03-remove-parts-moved-to-kinit.patch > 04-support-klibcarch-being-different-from-the-main-arch.patch This looks to be 04-powerpc-set-klibc-arch > 05-need-to-export-ranlib-from-the-top-makefile.patch > 06-re-create-root-dev-too-many-architectures-need-it-.patch Make the "move stuff i need" and make it first > 07-eliminate-unnecessary-whitespace-delta-vs-linus-tree.patch I didn't look, this corrects whitespace before patching? ok early > 08-klibc-default-initramfs-content-stored-in-usrinitramfs-default.patch > 09-kbuild-support-single-targets-for-klibc-and-klibc-programs.patch > 10-remove-prototype-for-name-to-dev-t.patch > 11-enable-klibc-errlist.patch What does this do?

The description in the patch is worse. It looks like it should be 18-s390-set-klibcarch Hmm... i didn't find the patch removig usr/Makefile, just adding usr/Kbuild. usr/Kbuild should be a diff against the existing usr/Makefile, whcih can be renamed. As a guess here would be my order and renames: 07-eliminate-unnecessary-whitespace-delta-vs-linus-tree.patch This should be making the delta the right way 06-re-create-root-dev-too-many-architectures-need-it-.patch nee do-mounts-is-goiing-move-root-dev I think initramfs.c might be a temporary home 16-sparc64-transmit-arch-specific-options-to-kinit-via-arch-cmd.patch 17-sparc32-transfer-arch-specific-options-to-arch-cmd.patch keep the global varables, make the arch_initcall global, and keep the code in x86 and x86-64 setup.c "export-arch-set-ramdiskflags-to-early-userspace" 08-klibc-default-initramfs-content-stored-in-usrinitramfs-default.patch 05-need-to-export-ranlib-from-the-top-makefile.patch 15-default-klibcarch--arch.patch 04-support-klibcarch-being-different-from-the-main-arch.patch powerpc-set-klibcarch 18-klibc-inkernel-merge-s390s390x-4.patch s390-set-klibcarch 13-uml-the-klibc-architecture-is-the-underlying-architecture.patch xx-rename-usr-Makefile-usr-Kbuild 19-klibc-basic-build-infrastructure.patch 09-kbuild-support-single-targets-for-klibc-and-klibc-programs.patch 01-add-klibckinit-to-maintainers-file.patch 20-37,39 11-enable-klibc-errlist.patch 12-enable-config-klibc-zlib-now-required-to-build-kinit.patch 40,38,41-43 02-remove-root-mounting-code-from-the-kernel-.patch minus the x86 setup stuff 03-remove-parts-moved-to-kinit.patch remove-power-disk.c-resume-parts-moved ... 10-remove-prototype-for-name-to-dev-t.patch 14-remove-in-kernel-nfsroot-code.patch - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
