[PATCH] signalfd: fill in ssi_int for posix timers and message queues
If signalfd is used to consume a signal generated by a POSIX interval timer or POSIX message queue, the ssi_int field does not reflect the data (sigevent->sigev_value) supplied to timer_create(2) or mq_notify(3). (The ssi_ptr field, however, is filled in.) This behavior differs from signalfd's treatment of sigqu... 2 Jul 2010 21:14

[P2020] "Processor 1 is stuck" (introduced by 8b27f0b61)
Hello, I'm working on a new board port to a P2020-based system (e500v2) and I appear to be hitting a regression which causes the second core to fail to come up at boot with a "Processor 1 is stuck" message. In the successful case (my board support patches on top of v2.6.32): smp_85xx_kick_cpu: kick CPU #1 s... 2 Jul 2010 20:09

PCI: Default PCIe ASPM control to on and require !EMBEDDED to disable

2.6.34 rex64 sysret instruction setup not preserving flags (r11 contents and eflags do not match)
On an AMD64 based system executing int 1 exceptions across a rex64 sysret, if the debugger sets the trap flag, r11 which holds the eflags values for the sysret return from syscall, the flags do not appear to get set resutling in the int exception nesting by calling sysret over and over again until the kernel stack... 3 Jul 2010 01:33
