Kernel

ACPI spam
On one machine I've used using a recent kernel I see tons of messages like Mar 16 10:54:52 intel-d3cf1-01 kernel: ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_EXIST, while evaluating GPE method [_L01] (20090903/evgpe-568) Mar 16 10:54:53 intel-d3cf1-01 kernel: ACPI Error: No handler for Region [ECF2] (ffff88013b69c978) [EmbeddedContro... 16 Mar 2010 23:13

[PATCH 2/3] SCSI: lpfc, fix lock imbalances
Stanse found that two error paths in lpfc_bsg_rport_els_cmp and lpfc_issue_ct_rsp_cmp omits to unlock phba->ct_ev_lock. It is because they wrongly unlock phba->hbalock instead. Fix that.

Enhance perf to collect KVM guest os statistics from host side
Ingo Molnar <mingo(a)elte.hu> writes: [...] I.e. we really want to be able users to: 1) have it all working with a single guest, without having to specify 'which' guest (qemu PID) to work with. That is the dominant usecase both for developers and for a fair portion of testers.... 23 Mar 2010 11:18

[PATCH] perf: x86: fix callgraphs of 32-bit processes on 64-bit kernels V2.
When profiling a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel, callgraph tracing stopped after the first function, because it has seen a garbage memory address (tried to interpret the frame pointer, and return address as a 64-bit pointer). Fix this by using a struct stack_frame with 32-bit pointers when the TIF_IA32 flag is ... 16 Mar 2010 11:22

[Regression] 2.6.34-rc1 sky2 mtu on second port defaults to 576
Haven't bisected - problem seemed to have started around 2.6.34-rc1-0933 (not seen before the rc1 tag). On boot, eth1 ends up with MTU of 576 (eth0 is 1500). My f12 startup scripts are not setting MTU (never have). Nothing of note in dmesg No change to .config No mtu change reported in log. Basically, ... 16 Mar 2010 11:22
