One question about the positions of flush_dcache_page and bounce_copy_vec methods in copy_to_high_bio_irq
����Recently, I read the kernel codes from 2.6.32 to 2.6.35. I have a question about the positions of flush_dcache_page and bounce_copy_vec methods in copy_to_high_bio_irq function in mm/bounce.c file. In my opinion, flush_dcache_page is written before bounce_copy_vec in order to set the destination page in bounce_... 11 Jul 2010 23:47

[PATCH 1/2] Add a common struct clk
We currently have 21 definitions of struct clk in the ARM architecture, each defined on a per-platform basis. This makes it difficult to define platform- (or architecture-) independent clock sources without making assumptions about struct clk, and impossible to compile two platforms with different struct clks into ... 11 Jul 2010 22:42

[PATCH 2/2] clk: Generic support for fixed-rate clocks
Since most platforms will need a fixed-rate clock, add one. This will also serve as a basic example of an implementation of struct clk.

[PATCH 0/2] Common struct clk implementation, v6
Hi all, These patches are an attempt to allow platforms to share clock code. At present, the definitions of 'struct clk' are local to platform code, which makes allocating and initialising cross-platform clock sources difficult, and makes it impossible to compile a single image containing support for two ARM pla... 11 Jul 2010 22:42

perf: Add DWARF register lookup for SH
Matt Fleming wrote: Implement get_arch_regstr() for SH so that, given a DWARF register number, the corresponding symbolic name of that register can be looked up. OK, the patch itself looks good, but I don't know whether SH kernel supports KPROBE_EVENT which is required for perf-probe. Or, SH kernel reposi... 12 Jul 2010 14:03
