*	sched: group scheduling, sysfs tunables	Dhaval Giani	2007-10-15
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Add tunables in sysfs to modify a user's cpu share. A directory is created in sysfs for each new user in the system. /sys/kernel/uids/<uid>/cpu_share Reading this file returns the cpu shares granted for the user. Writing into this file modifies the cpu share for the user. Only an administrator is allowed to modify a user's cpu share. Ex: # cd /sys/kernel/uids/ # cat 512/cpu_share 1024 # echo 2048 > 512/cpu_share # cat 512/cpu_share 2048 # Signed-off-by: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
*	FRV: Fix linkage problems	David Howells	2007-07-20
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Make it possible to use __start_notes and __stop_notes without getting a GPREL overflow error from the FRV linker. Small variables that would otherwise be in .data or .bss may, depending on the arch, be placed in special sections (.sdata or .sbss) that permit single instruction references on fixed instruction width machines. __start_notes and __stop_notes aren't really char variables, and certainly don't refer to data in .data or .bss. Making them type "void" fools the compiler into not assuming anything about them. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
*	Add /sys/kernel/notes	Roland McGrath	2007-07-19
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	This patch adds the /sys/kernel/notes magic file. Reading this delivers the contents of the kernel's .notes section. This lets userland easily glean any detailed information about the running kernel's build that was stored there at compile time.

*	remove "struct subsystem" as it is no longer needed	Greg Kroah-Hartman	2007-05-02
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	We need to work on cleaning up the relationship between kobjects, ksets and ktypes. The removal of 'struct subsystem' is the first step of this, especially as it is not really needed at all. Thanks to Kay for fixing the bugs in this patch.

*	[PATCH] Add a sysfs file to determine if a kexec kernel is loaded	Jeff Moyer	2006-06-23
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Create two files in /sys/kernel, kexec_loaded and kexec_crash_loaded. Each file contains a simple boolean value indicating whether the relevant kernel has been loaded into memory. The motivation for this is geared around support.

*	[PATCH] fix build error if CONFIG_SYSFS=n	Andrew Morton	2006-03-24
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	uevent_seqnum and uevent_helper are only defined if CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y, CONFIG_NET=n. (I stole this back from Greg's tree - it makes allnoconfig work).

*	[PATCH] kdump: export per cpu crash notes pointer through sysfs	Vivek Goyal	2006-01-10
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	- Kexec on panic functionality allocates memory for saving cpu registers in case of system crash event. Address of this allocated memory needs to be exported to user space, which is used by kexec-tools. - Previously, a single /sys/kernel/crash_notes entry was being exported as memory allocated was a single continuous array. Now memory allocation being dyanmic and per cpu based, address of per cpu buffer is exported through "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/crash_notes" Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

*	[PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"	Kay Sievers	2006-01-04
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports the state to userspace and generates events.

*	[PATCH] add uevent_helper control in /sys/kernel/	Kay Sievers	2006-01-04
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	This deprecates the /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug file, as all this stuff should be in /sys some day, right? :) In /sys/kernel/ we have now uevent_seqnum and uevent_helper. The seqnum is no longer used by udev, as the version for this kernel depends on netlink which events will never get out-of-order. Recent udev versions disable the /sbin/hotplug helper with an init script, cause it leads to OOM on big boxes by running hundreds of shells in parallel. It should be done now by: echo "" > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper (Note that "-n" does not work, cause neighter proc nor sysfs support truncate().)

*	Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	2005-04-16
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
