[PATCH] of/flattree: Use common ALIGN() macro instead of arch specific _ALIGN
There's no reason to use the powerpc-specific _ALIGN macro in the fdt code.

[PATCH] of/flattree: Fix crash when device tree absent
This patch fixes the condition where device tree support is compiled in, but no device tree was proved by firmware. It makes of_platform_bus_probe() explicitly check for a NULL device tree pointer, and adds an error message if the device tree was unable to be flattened.

arch/tile: Enable more sophisticated IRQ model for 32-bit chips.
Chris, On Fri, 25 Jun 2010, Chris Metcalf wrote: This model is based on the on-chip interrupt model used by the TILE-Gx next-generation hardware, and interacts much more cleanly with the Linux generic IRQ layer. The change includes modifications to the Tilera hypervisor, which are reflected in t... 25 Jun 2010 18:40

[PATCH] arch/tile: Shrink the tile-opcode files considerably.
The C file (tile-desc_{32,64}.c) was about 300KB before this change, and is now shrunk down to 100K. The original file included support for BFD in the binutils toolchain, which is not necessary in the kernel; the kernel version only needs to include enough support to enable the single-stepper and backtracer. Si... 25 Jun 2010 17:35

[PATCH] arch/tile: Split the icache flush code off to a generic <arch> header.
This code is used in other places in our system than in Linux, so to share it we now implement it as an inline function in our low-level <arch> headers, and instantiate it in one file in Linux's arch/tile/lib. The file is now cacheflush.c and is C code rather than the strangely-named and assembler-implemented __inv... 25 Jun 2010 17:35

[PATCH] arch/tile: Fix bug in support for atomic64_xx() ops.
This wasn't properly tested until the perf-event subsystem started to get brought up under the tile architecture. The bug caused bogus atomic64_cmpxchg() values to be returned, among other things.

network driver dev/debugging (sis190/sis191)
Hi, I have a sis191 network card and it has some problems under Fedora. So far all my pleas for help have gone unheeded, so I'm thinking I should try and fix it by myself. Could someone here help, at least by suggesting a starting point for debugging/developing a network device driver in Linux? Than... 6 Jul 2010 18:55

Regression caused by commit cc56f7de7f00d188c7c4da1e9861581853b9e92f
Hi, I have bisected a strange regression down to this commit that you made. If I apply the attached patch (which restores the original 2 lines of code), then everything works correctly. I apologize, but I don't have a simple reproducer. The gist of the problem is that Java cannot decrypt a file under certain... 25 Jun 2010 16:29
