[PATCH] perf: expose event__process function
event__process is useful in processing /proc/<pid>/maps. All of the functions that are called from event__process are defined in util/event.c. Though its defined in builtin-top.c, it could be reused for perf probe for uprobes. Hence moving it to util/event.c and exporting the function. Signed-off-by: Srikar Dron... 2 Aug 2010 09:13

watchdog: Add watchdog driver for OCTEON SOCs (v2).
Hi David, Ralf, The OCTEON is a MIPS64 based SOC family with an on chip watchdog unit. The driver is split into two source files one for the C code and one for assembly. Assembly is needed to handle the NMI and then print the machine state before the reboot is triggered. v2: Stylistic changes ... 2 Aug 2010 09:13

a Great Idea - include Kademlia networking protocol in kernel
Kademlia protocol is widely used by many p2p applications, if kernel support the Kademlia protocol and its p2p network infrastracture. it will be easier to bring us into a new stage of network with much more freedom and equality. 1.systems could get public identity on network much more easier, and need not depen... 3 Aug 2010 08:08
