[PATCH -tip 3/4] kprobes: Check probe address is reserved
Check whether the address of new probe is already reserved by ftrace or alternatives (on x86) when registering new probe. If reserved, it returns an error and not register the probe.

[PATCH -tip 2/4] ftrace/alternatives: Introducing *_text_reserved functions
Introducing *_text_reserved functions for checking the text address range is partially reserved or not. This patch provides checking routines for x86 smp alternatives and dynamic ftrace. Since both functions modify fixed pieces of kernel text, they should reserve and protect those from other dynamic text modifier, ... 2 Feb 2010 22:20

[PATCH 6/6] x86: convert compat syscalls to use 'DEFINE_SYSCALL()' macros
Convert x86 compat syscalls to use SYSCALL_PREFIX_DEFINE#() macros. This allows us to hook the compat syscalls into the event tracer.

[PATCH 0/6] tracing: add compat syscall support
Hi, This series adds 'compat' syscall tracing support, and updates x86_64 to use this new functionality. Other arches still need to be implemented. To provide arch support 3 interfaces need to be defined: 1) int is_compat_task(void); - most arches seem to have this already 2) unsigned long arch_compat_sysca... 2 Feb 2010 22:19

[PATCH] HID: use multi input quirk for eTurboTouch touchscreen
This device generates ABS_Z and ABS_RX events, while it should be generating ABS_X and ABS_Y instead. Using the MULTI_INPUT quirk solves this issue.

[PATCH v2 16/18] IB/ucm: increase maximum devices supported
Some large systems may support more than IB_UCM_MAX_DEVICES (currently 32). This change allows us to support more devices in a backwards-compatible manner. the first IB_UCM_MAX_DEVICES keep the same major/minor device numbers they've always had. If there are more than IB_UCM_MAX_DEVICES, then we dynamically re... 2 Feb 2010 22:19
