[PATCH RFC] vhost: fix barrier pairing
According to memory-barriers.txt, an smp memory barrier should always be paired with another smp memory barrier, and I quote "a lack of appropriate pairing is almost certainly an error". In case of vhost, failure to flush out used index update before looking at the interrupt disable flag could result in missed ... 11 May 2010 14:31

[PATCH] vfs: fix RCU-lockdep false positive due to /proc access
If a single-threaded process does a file-descriptor operation, and some other process accesses that same file descriptor via /proc, the current rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() can give a false-positive RCU-lockdep splat due to the reference count being increased by the /proc access after the reference-count check i... 11 May 2010 14:31

[PATCH 3/3] power/ds2760_battery: use factor of 20 for rated_capacity
In the ds2760 driver, the currently used factor of 10 to store the rated battery capacity internally is not sufficient for batteries > 2.55 Ah, as the 8-bit register will overflow for bigger values. Change the factor to 20 to broaden that range. Note that due to RATED_CAPACITY_FACTOR, the external interface won't... 11 May 2010 13:24

[PATCH 2/3] power/ds2760_battery: make charge_now and charge_full writeable
For userspace tools and daemons, it might be necessary to adjust the charge_now and charge_full properties of the ds2760 battery monitor, for example for unavoidable corrections due to aging batteries. For better readbility and to avoid magic numbers in conversion calculations, RATED_CAPACITY_FACTOR is introduced... 11 May 2010 13:24

[PATCH 3/3] perf symbols: allow forcing use of cplus_demangle
From: Kyle McMartin <kyle(a)mcmartin.ca> For Fedora, I want to force perf to link against libiberty.a for cplus_demangle, rather than libbfd.a for bfd_demangle due to licensing insanity on binutils. (libiberty is LGPL2, libbfd is GPL3.) If we just rely on autodetection, we'll end up with libbfd linked against us,... 11 May 2010 13:24

[PATCH 2/3] perf probe: Check older elfutils and set NO_DWARF
From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat(a)redhat.com> Check whether elfutils is older than 0.138 (from which version checking routine has been introduced). And if so, set NO_DWARF because it is hard to check the API dependency without version checking. Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat(a)redhat.com> Reported-by: ... 11 May 2010 13:24
