* Deprecate a.out ELF interpretersAndi Kleen2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Linux ELF loader is quite complicated and messy code (that could probably need a rewrite, but that's a different chapter). One particular messy part in it is the support for non ELF a.out ld.sos. This was originally added to make transition from a.out to ELF easier because an a.out ELF ld.so could be still build using an older a.out toolkit. But by now that should be fully obsolete and removing it would clean up binfmt_elf.c up a bit. I propose to deprecate this support and remove for 2.6.25. Drawback is that someone still runs their system with a.out ld.so they would need to update the ld.so when updating to a new kernel. This patch just adds an entry to the deprecation file and a printk warning users.

* softlockup: add a /proc tuning parameterRavikiran G Thirumalai2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Control the trigger limit for softlockup warnings. This is useful for debugging softlockups, by lowering the softlockup_thresh to identify possible softlockups earlier. This patch: 1. Adds a sysctl softlockup_thresh with valid values of 1-60s (Higher value to disable false positives) 2.

* oom: add oom_kill_allocating_task sysctlDavid Rientjes2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds a new sysctl, 'oom_kill_allocating_task', which will automatically kill the OOM-triggering task instead of scanning through the tasklist to find a memory-hogging target. This is helpful for systems with an insanely large number of tasks where scanning the tasklist significantly degrades performance.

| * kbuild: introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-ySam Ravnborg2007-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-y so we soon can deprecate use of EXTRA_CFLAGS, EXTRA_AFLAGS and EXTRA_LDFLAGS. This patch does not touch any in-tree users - thats next round. Lets get this committed first and then fix the users of the soon to be deprecated variants next. The rationale behind this change is to introduce support for makefile fragments like: ccflags-$(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG) := -DDEBUG As a replacement for the uglier: ifeq ($(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG),y) EXTRA_CFLAGS := -DDEBUG endif Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
