This is at odds with my experience. Are you sure you've been talking to the right people? Is it possible you've only been talking to A/V vendors? I find it entirely plausible that there is such a consensus among A/V vendors, but I'm pretty skeptical that the rest of the security community would make this kind of claim. What I hear, instead, is quite a bit of skepticism about the future of A/V. Here's an experiment for you. Walk up to a random security expert and ask them what they think of bl...

Nice solution. Where is this relative to early boot option checking? -- Mathematics is the supreme nostalgia of our time. --

Ok, there are a couple weird outliers outside of that still, but that should make most people satisfied. -- Mathematics is the supreme nostalgia of our time. --

Different arches handle their command lines differently, but with some elbow grease (and some buy-in from the different arch maintainers), we could try unifying the approach here. One difficulty is that the other arches' command lines are not currently "broken", so there's no real incentive to change them. The only thing novel thing I'm adding here is the addition of the leading '!' to allow for an override. This is needed in some x86 cases I'm familiar with, but I've haven't seen any cases ...

I'd be OK implementing it with an option, rather than a magic char. I was trying to avoid adding too many options, since many kernel developers prefer fewer options where possible. But the magic char makes the code less straightforward. If we ever move towards supporting both prefix and suffice splicing (or even complicated in-the-middle splicing), then the magic char is easier to develop into that. But so far, I can only come up with reasonable cases for append and override, and I don't want t...

You're right, I had forgotten about the suffix splicing and my brain is Yes, though I doubt we're in danger of introducing any real backwards compatibility issues with the magic '!' at the beginning. -- Mathematics is the supreme nostalgia of our time. --

I must be honest, 2.6.27-rc1-00156-g94ad374 has made me entirely lazy with wanting to add any patches or taking anything out... but I guess I'll have to pull and add a patch that was sent to me yesterday. upon booting I saw this for the first time with isight: <dmesg below> [ 0.000000] Linux version 2.6.27-rc1-00156-g94ad374 (root@unix) (gcc version 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)) #5 SMP Mon Aug 4 08:40:33 PDT 2008 [ 0.000000] BIOS-provided physical RAM map: [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820...

This patch adds support for DTR/DSR hardware flow control on 8250 driver on x86 machines. It's done by adding a CDTRDSR flag to work just like CRTSCTS, which is not done on other architectures on purpose (so each maintainer can allocate it). This patch was tested with success with a serial printer configured with a small buffer and DTR/DSR flow control. This is based on the work of Michael Westermann (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/31/133) Comments more than welcome. Signed-off-by: Aristeu Rozan...

Hi Linus, Please pull hwmon subsystem updates for Linux 2.6.27 from: git://jdelvare.pck.nerim.net/jdelvare-2.6 hwmon-for-linus In the absence of a maintainer for the hwmon subsystem, I have gathered a number of patches which have been posted to the lm-sensors mailing list over the past few months and reviewed publicly. This will ensure that these patches, which I consider ready for upstream, aren't lost, so developers can spend their time to something else than resending these patches over and...
