Patch pm-acpi-hibernation-utilize-hardware-signature.patch in the 07/11 mmotm causes a link error: LD .tmp_vmlinux1 arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o: In function `acpi_sleep_setup': sleep.c:(.init.text+0x6854): undefined reference to `acpi_no_s4_hw_signature' Not at all surprising, since the patch doesn't actually include a body for the function, only references. Did a (hopefully) previous patch that added the body get lost along the way?

kernel-schedc-add-missing-attr-parameter.patch is my leading suspect, as it's the last thing to poke around in the failing code...

So it's been almost three months since 2.6.25 (87 days to be exact, I think), making this a longer-than-usual release cycle. Or maybe it just feels that way, and we're always getting close to three months these days. But it's out there now. Or rather, the git tree is out there, and the patch/tar-ball is still uploading as I write this. The diffs from -rc9 are pretty small, with with the bulk actually being Documentation updates (almost 80% is just added docs). The rest tensd to be one-line...

From: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Two small updates to the pcf857x driver: (a) the max732[89] chips are also second sources for the pcf8574/a, and (b) add a mutex to prevent trashing the cached state. Adding the lock is effectively a bugfix, although it seems unlikely that anyone would have run into the issue it protects against.

Hello, I'm interested in knowing how the cpu data from /proc/stat is gathered. Following my way from this function: http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.25.10/fs/proc/proc_misc.c#L459 I've figured that the time is probably gathered using those account_*_time on sched.c. I'm not sure where the times are read from, though. Anyhow, I thought I'd do a little test. I expected that if I added together all the values on the cpu line of /proc/stat, waited 1 second and added together all the values again...

This patch is disputed. See the rest of the thread. Maybe some subtle Commit bdb2b8cab4392ce41ddfbd6773a3da3334daf836. Linus --

Hi, We've seen a rather lot of fixes for cpu hotplug and the scheduler over the last few weeks. I'm suspecting that this one might also have been fixed unknowingly by one of the other commits (this is backed by the fact that I haven't been able to reproduce _any_ cpu-hotplug-related failure as of the latest mainline kernel), on the other hand I don't know exactly why. I guess I should run a longer test to see if this comes up again. (Oh, maybe it was an RCU-type thing? Nick Piggin recently h...

I tested a 2.6.26-rc kernel with forcedeth.c from 2.6.25 and it failed in the same way, so I don't think its a regression as such. In any case, with the -rc9 it still fails regularly.
