panic: Allow taint flag for warnings to be changed from TAINT_WARN
Ben Hutchings <ben(a)decadent.org.uk> writes: WARN() is used in some places to report firmware or hardware bugs that are then worked-around. These bugs do not affect the stability of the kernel and should not set the usual TAINT_WARN flag. To allow for this, add WARN_TAINT() and WARN_TAINT_ONCE() macros t... 23 Mar 2010 04:32

[PATCH -mm 3/3] exit: move taskstats_tgid_free() from __exit_signal() to free_signal_struct()
Move taskstats_tgid_free() from __exit_signal() to free_signal_struct(). This way signal->stats never points to nowhere and we can read ->stats lockless.

[PATCH -mm 2/3] kill the obsolete thread_group_cputime_free() and taskstats_tgid_init() helpers
Trivial, but a separate patch for paranoid reasons. - Kill the empty thread_group_cputime_free() helper. It was needed to free the per-cpu data which we no longer have. - Kill taskstats_tgid_init(), unneeded since "copy_signal() cleanup: use zalloc and remove initializations" a56704ef6b0c5796c9ff38cc78aa... 21 Mar 2010 15:04

[PATCH -mm 1/3] exit: __exit_signal: use thread_group_leader() consistently
Cleanup: - Add the boolean, group_dead = thread_group_leader(), for clarity. - Do not test/set sig == NULL to detect the all-dead case, use this boolean. - Pass this boolen to __unhash_process() and use it instead of another thread_group_leader() call which needs ->group_leader. This can be consider... 21 Mar 2010 15:04
