What is 2.6.34-git1 and how to it it? And whether to eat it?
Hello, I have a habit of building each new git version of the kernel. Is 2.6.34-git1 something like pre-rc1 version? And when will be a rc1 version?

[GIT PULL] first round of SCSI updates for the 2.6.35 merge window
This is actually the scsi-misc tree plus one fix for 2.6.34 I didn't manage to send in time (now tagged for stable). It contains the usual driver updates (qla2, qla4, lpfc, bfa, zfcp, fusion, mpt2sas, zfcp) plus one non marvell update for mvsas which seems to ease some of that driver's current problems. This patc... 18 May 2010 11:27

collecting static data related to tracing
Hi, We've got some tracing in the wireless subsystem that allows us to find out what's going on quite well. I frequently ask users to use trace-cmd to record data and send me the resulting file. (Oh and please ... I don't care if perf could do this as well, trace-cmd works great for me) However, in all of this... 19 May 2010 11:33

[PATCH 0/5] Optimize perf ring-buffer
This patch-set optimizes the perf ring-buffer by removing IRQ disable and all LOCK ops from the fast paths. There's also an RFC patch that adds perf_output_addr() which will allow you to write directly to the buffer, however I'm not sure how to go about using it for the trace events since we need to multiplex ev... 18 May 2010 10:21
