Retract MCE-specific UAPI exports which are unused and shouldn't be
used.

x86, boot: Define the 2.12 bzImage boot protocol

2013-01-27T23:56:37+00:00

Define the 2.12 bzImage boot protocol: add xloadflags and additional
fields to allow the command line, initramfs and struct boot_params to
live above the 4 GiB mark.

The xloadflags now communicates if this is a 64-bit kernel with the
legacy 64-bit entry point and which of the EFI handover entry points
are supported.

Avoid adding new read flags to loadflags because of claimed
bootloaders testing the whole byte for == 1 to determine bzImageness
at least until the issue can be researched further.

This is based on patches by Yinghai Lu and David Woodhouse.

x86, MCE: Retract most UAPI exports

2013-01-09T13:49:02+00:00

Retract back most macro definitions which went into the
user-visible mce.h header. Even though those bits are mostly
hardware-defined/-architectural, their naming is not. If we export them
to userspace, any kernel unification/renaming/cleanup cannot be done
anymore since those are effectively cast in stone. Besides, if userspace
wants those definitions, they can write their own defines and go crazy.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal

2012-12-21T02:05:28+00:00

Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
 "sigaltstack infrastructure + conversion for x86, alpha and um,
  COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE infrastructure.

  Note that there are several conflicts between "unify
  SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions" and UAPI patches in mainline;
  resolution is trivial - just remove definitions of SS_ONSTACK and
  SS_DISABLED from arch/*/uapi/asm/signal.h; they are all identical and
  include/uapi/linux/signal.h contains the unified variant."

Fixed up conflicts as per Al.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
  alpha: switch to generic sigaltstack
  new helpers: __save_altstack/__compat_save_altstack, switch x86 and um to those
  generic compat_sys_sigaltstack()
  introduce generic sys_sigaltstack(), switch x86 and um to it
  new helper: compat_user_stack_pointer()
  new helper: restore_altstack()
  unify SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions
  new helper: current_user_stack_pointer()
  missing user_stack_pointer() instances
  Bury the conditionals from kernel_thread/kernel_execve series
  COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE: infrastructure

Merge branch 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux

2012-12-18T20:34:29+00:00

Pull powertool update from Len Brown:
 "This updates the tree w/ the latest version of turbostat, which
  reports temperature and - on SNB and later - Watts."

Fix up semantic merge conflict as per Len.

* 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux:
  tools: Allow tools to be installed in a user specified location
  tools/power: turbostat: make Makefile a bit more capable
  tools/power x86_energy_perf_policy: close /proc/stat in for_every_cpu()
  tools/power turbostat: v3.0: monitor Watts and Temperature
  tools/power turbostat: fix output buffering issue
  tools/power turbostat: prevent infinite loop on migration error path
  x86 power: define RAPL MSRs
  tools/power/x86/turbostat: share kernel MSR #defines

create non-empty arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/ files

2012-12-18T01:15:11+00:00

patch(1) doesn't create zero-length files, so my kernel didn't compile.

Put something in these files so patch(1) actually creates them.
