[PATCH] x86: clear XD_DISABLED flag on Intel to regain NX
This will clear the MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE_XD_DISABLE bit so that NX cannot be inappropriately controlled by the BIOS on Intel CPUs. If NX actually needs to be disabled, "noexec=off" can be used.

gpiolib and sleeping gpios
Hi, Currently implementors of gpiolib must provide implementations for gpio_get_value, gpio_set_value and gpio_cansleep. Most of the implementations just #define these to the double underscore prefixed versions in drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c. A few implementations have a simple wrapper function which provides a fast ... 29 Jun 2010 05:17

[PATCH 2/2] mmc: make sdhci work with ricoh mmc controller
The current way of disabling it is not well tested by vendor and has all kinds of bugs that show up on resume from ram/disk. A very good example is a dead SDHCI controller. Old way of disabling is still supported by continuing to use CONFIG_MMC_RICOH_MMC. Based on 'http://list.drzeus.cx/pipermail/sdhci-devel/2... 17 Jun 2010 17:53

[PATCH 2/7] perf symbols: Function descriptor symbol lookup
From: Eric B Munson <ebmunson(a)us.ibm.com> Currently symbol resolution does not work for 64-bit programs on architectures that use function descriptors such as ppc64. The problem is that a symbol doesn't point to a text address, it points to a data area that contains (amongst other things) a pointer to the text ... 17 Jun 2010 17:52

[PATCH 7/7] perf session: fix error message on failure to open perf.data
From: Andy Isaacson <adi(a)hexapodia.org> If we cannot open our data file, print strerror(errno) for a more comprehensible error message; and only suggest 'perf record' on ENOENT. In particular, this fixes the nonsensical advice when: % sudo perf record sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write ... 17 Jun 2010 17:52
