[PATCH 10/28] kgdb,8250,pl011: Return immediately from console poll
The design of the kdb shell requires that every device that can provide input to kdb have a polling routine that exits immediately if there is no character available. This is required in order to get the page scrolling mechanism working. Changing the kernel debugger I/O API to require all polling character rout... 25 Feb 2010 17:06

[PATCH 14/28] kgdboc,keyboard: Keyboard driver for kdb with kgdb
This patch adds in the kdb PS/2 keyboard driver. This was mostly a direct port from the original kdb where I cleaned up the code against checkpatch.pl and added the glue to stitch it into kgdb. This patch also enables early kdb debug via kgdbwait and the keyboard. All the access to configure kdb using either a... 25 Feb 2010 17:06

[PATCH 05/28] kgdb,sh: update superh kgdb exception handling
Implement kgdb_arch_pc() which adjusts the pc if it needs to be adjusted after a software breakpoint trap. Implement kgdb_arch_set_pc() which is a new required function in the kgdb debug core. When processing a single step return zero in the error exception field so that the debug core can distinguish between ... 25 Feb 2010 17:06

What's in linux1394-2.6.git?
Hi all, if there are no objections, I will see to get the following pulled into the mainline early next week: - three cycle timer related enhancements (hence mostly audio related): hardware quirk fix for reliable cycle timer register access, "quirks" module parameter for firewire-ohci, choice of cloc... 25 Feb 2010 17:06

[PATCH v3 5/7] TCPCT part 2e: accept SYNACK data
When accompanied by cookie option, Initiator (client) queues incoming SYNACK transaction data. This is a straightforward re-implementation of an earlier (year-old) patch that no longer applies cleanly, with permission of the original author (Adam Langley). The patch was previously reviewed: http://thread.... 25 Feb 2010 17:05

[PATCH v5 3/7] tcp: harmonize tcp_vx_rcv header length assumptions
Harmonize tcp_v4_rcv() and tcp_v6_rcv() -- better document tcp doff and header length assumptions, and carefully compare implementations. Reduces multiply/shifts, marginally improving speed. Removes redundant tcp header length checks before checksumming. Instead, assumes (and documents) that any backlog proce... 25 Feb 2010 15:58

[PATCH 0/7] tcp: bugs and cleanup for 2.6.33
I'd have thought that there would be greater interest about patching crashing bugs, signed versus unsigned (underflow) bugs, TCP DoS bugs, TCP data corruption, and TCP performance problems.... Combination of patches reported in October, November, December, January, and February, for 2.6.32 and now 2.6.33. This... 25 Feb 2010 15:58
