| Con Kolivas | Wrong cache size reported on Q6600
This is a Q6600 which has cache size of 8 MB. Unless it's reporting each
half's effective L2, I think it should be reporting 8192 instead of 4096.

There are two L2's, each of 4MB. Each L2 shared by two cores.

| Joshua Wise | [PATCH] Info dump on Oops or panic()
From: Joshua Wise <jwise@google.com>
Background:
When managing a large number of servers, as Google does, it's sometimes
useful to get an "at-a-glance" view of a machine when it crashes. When no
other post-mortem is possible, it's often useful to know how long the
machine has been powered on, which kernel it was running, and possibly
other information that a driver may have logged. Up until now, there was no
real way to do this other than to keep statistics outside to the machine....

woah woah woah. This could push critical bits of the register dump or

this should probably be dumped in the oops header, not trailing it where
it could hide critical debugging info.

I worry a bit about doing _anything_ extra at oops-time. It just decreases
the chances of the kernel generating the info which we want.
So... Please consider abandoning the notifier-chain and just go for a
simple function call.
If people want to add extra goodies later on, well, they need to patch the

No, it's correct. It simply says that this code can only be discarted
after initialization if it's not a module, since it's also used from
__exit code.
The idea behind __init_or_module is that __exit code is never executed
for non-modular code, and such cases where some function is executed
both by both __init and __exit and never from other code aren't that
unusual.
I'm not sure how realistic it is, but it would be best if we could at

This is the core implementation of the new VM_NOZERO page retirement
policy (and the associated MAP_NOZERO).
A new field owner_uid is added the the mm_struct, and it is kept set to
the effective UID of the task that own the mm_struct.
At the moment, the patch re-uses the _mapcount member of the struct page to
store the last owner UID. This avoids increasing the struct page size.
When pages exit (unmapped from) a vma, they are marked with the effective
UID of the mm_struct that owns it.

I run udev on an arm system, it costs you about 200kBytes,
and saves you all the trouble with creating device files.
Note that you don't need any rules files. If you want to write
rules, you can even implement a poor-man's hotplug without HAL.
If you can afford 200k, use udev.

Unfortunately, busybox mount is not very verbose. You get the above

You should check:
* Is the driver for your MMC actually loaded?
* Did it initialize correctly? Does it find your MMC card?
* Is support for the file system on the MMC in your kernel?
* /dev/mmcblk0p0 and /mnt/mmc really exist? (sorry, but...)
Check the output of dmesg for messages from the mmc driver.
