initramfs issue with console missing
I am trying to use initramfs to run an embedded linux device. I am getting a kern warning printed during bootup that the kernel is unable to open an initial console. My rootfs does not contain a /dev/console node; I was expecting to be able to create the /dev/console node in my init script before the kernel tries... 23 Apr 2010 17:41

[PATCH 1/2] mm: fix bugs of mpol_rebind_nodemask()
- local variable might be an empty nodemask, so must be checked before setting pol->v.nodes to it. - nodes_remap() may cause the weight of pol->v.nodes being monotonic decreasing. and never become large even we pass a nodemask with large weight after ->v.nodes become little. this patch fixes these two pr... 23 Apr 2010 17:41

[PATCH 0/2] fix oom happening when changing cpuset'mems(was: [regression] cpuset,mm: update tasks' mems_allowed in time (58568d2))
Nick Piggin reported that the allocator may see an empty nodemask when changing cpuset's mems. The problem is that: Cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all old unallowed bits later. But the allocator may load a word of the mask before settin... 23 Apr 2010 17:41

[PATCH 5/5] x86, cacheinfo: Disable index in all four subcaches
From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov(a)amd.com> When disabling an L3 cache index, make sure we disable that index in all four subcaches of the L3. Clarify nomenclature while at it, wrt to disable slots versus disable index and rename accordingly. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov(a)amd.com> --- a... 23 Apr 2010 17:41

[PATCH 1/5] x86, cacheinfo: Unify AMD L3 cache index disable checking
From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov(a)amd.com> All F10h CPUs starting with model 8 resp. 9, stepping 1, support L3 cache index disable.

[PATCH -v2 0/5] AMD L3 cache index disable fixes for .35
From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov(a)amd.com> Hi, here's the dynamic allocation version in 4/5. The small amount of NUM_NODES * 8 Bytes is not being freed because we don't have an exit callback but I guess this is ok since we want to free it only when shutting down anyway. -v2: Allocate l3_caches descr... 23 Apr 2010 17:41

init: Provide a kernel start parameter to increase pid_max v2
