AT91 NOMMU fails to compile 2.6.35-rc5
From Linus's tree, 2.6.35-rc5, attempting to compile gives errors in system.h, because the AT91x40 does not have useful performance management counters. This patch avoids that problem.

[RFC PATCH] Kconfig: Enable Kconfig fragments to be used for defconfig
This is a proof of concept at the moment, but if the corner cases can be sorted out, then this might be the best way to replace the defconfig functionality. This patch implements Linus' idea for using Kconfig fragments to replicate the *_defconfig functionality Essentially, this patch adds a new <board>_defconfi... 13 Jul 2010 19:44

[RFC][PATCH] xstat: Add an AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag to suppress terminal automount
[Based on the patch to add an automount dentry op] Add an AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag to suppress terminal automounting of directories with follow_link semantics. This can be used by fstatat()/xstat() users to permit the gathering of attributes on an automount point and also prevent mass-automounting of a directory o... 13 Jul 2010 19:44

[GIT PULL] x86 fixes for 2.6.35-rc6

Dmitry Torokhov has acked this series. -hpa The following changes since commit ... 13 Jul 2010 19:44

[PATCH] Yama: verify inode is symlink to avoid bind mounts
The inode_follow_link LSM hook is called in bind mount situations as well as for symlink situations, so we must explicitly check for the inode being a symlink to not reject bind mounts in 1777 directories, which seems to be a common NFSv4 configuration.
