* [PATCH] Add printk_clock()Andrew Morton2005-09-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | ia64's sched_clock() accesses per-cpu data which isn't set up at boot time. Hence ia64 cannot use printk timestamping, because printk() will crash in sched_clock(). So make printk() use printk_clock(), defaulting to sched_clock(), overrideable by the architecture via attribute(weak).

* [PATCH] Provide better printk() support for SMP machinesDavid Howells2005-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch prevents oopses interleaving with characters from other printks on other CPUs by only breaking the lock if the oops is happening on the machine holding the lock. It might be better if the oops generator got the lock and then called an inner vprintk routine that assumed the caller holds the lock, thus making oops reports "atomic".

* [PATCH] CPU hotplug printk fixShaohua Li2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | In the cpu hotplug case, per-cpu data possibly isn't initialized even the system state is 'running'. As the comments say in the original code, some console drivers assume per-cpu resources have been allocated. radeon fb is one such driver, which uses kmalloc. After a CPU is down, the per-cpu data of slab is freed, so the system crashed when printing some info. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] CON_CONSDEV bit not set correctly on last consoleGreg Edwards2005-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to include/linux/console.h, CON_CONSDEV flag should be set on the last console specified on the boot command line: 86 #define CON_PRINTBUFFER (1) 87 #define CON_CONSDEV (2) /* Last on the command line */ 88 #define CON_ENABLED (4) 89 #define CON_BOOT (8) This does not currently happen if there is more than one console specified on the boot commandline. Instead, it gets set on the first console on the command line. This can cause problems for things like kdb that look for the CON_CONSDEV flag to see if the console is valid. Additionaly, it doesn't look like CON_CONSDEV is reassigned to the next preferred console at unregister time if the console being unregistered currently has that bit set. Example (from sn2 ia64): elilo vmlinuz root=<dev> console=ttyS0 console=ttySG0 in this case, the flags on ttySG console struct will be 0x4 (should be 0x6). Attached patch against bk fixes both issues for the cases I looked at. It uses selected_console (which gets incremented for each console specified on the command line) as the indicator of which console to set CON_CONSDEV on. When adding the console to the list, if the previous one had CON_CONSDEV set, it masks it out. Tested on ia64 and x86. The problem with the current behavior is it breaks overriding the default from the boot line. In the ia64 case, there may be a global append line defining console=a in elilo.conf. Then you want to boot your kernel, and want to override the default by passing console=b on the boot line. elilo constructs the kernel cmdline by starting with the value of the global append line, then tacks on whatever else you specify, which puts console=b last.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
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!
