Setting up KGDB environment on MIPS Processor.
Hi All, I am trying to settup the KGDB settup, for my STB BRCM board. I have 3 UARTS -0,1,2 -- Boot the kdb enabled kernel.. but not able to get the --- gdb wait message -- I am setting up an environment for kernel debugging on my MIPS based processor.

net/wireless/libertas: do not call wiphy_unregister() w/o wiphy_register()
> The libertas driver calls wiphy_unregister() without a prior wiphy_register() when a devices fails initialization. Fix this by introducing a private flag. Nice. However, I wonder: do we really need a private variable? Does each driver introduce a private variable for this? -- To unsubscribe from this... 9 Apr 2010 11:08

[PATCH 6/6] procfs: Kill the bkl in ioctl
There are no more users of procfs that implement the ioctl callback. Drop the bkl from this path and warn on any use of this callback.

[PATCH 2/6] procfs: Use generic_file_llseek in /proc/kcore
/proc/kcore has no llseek and then falls down to use default_llseek. This is racy against read_kcore() that directly manipulates fpos but it doesn't hold the bkl there so using it in llseek doesn't protect anything. Let's use generic_file_llseek() instead.
