[PATCH] x86/hpet: Use the FSEC_PER_SEC constant for femto-second periods
The current computation, introduced with f12a15be63, of FSEC_PER_SEC using the multiplication of (FSEC_PER_NSEC * NSEC_PER_SEC) is performed only with 32bit integers on small machines, resulting in an overflow and a *very* short intervals being programmed. An interrupt storm follows. Note that we also have to sp... 8 Aug 2010 09:04

KVM: Activate Virtualization On Demand
Hi! Since the above patch went in http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=10474ae8 I have exactly the same problem as Dieter. If that's the case I'd say you have a broken BIOS or bootloader. You are right, it seems to be always cpu0. I'll check my BIOS and flash... 8 Aug 2010 09:04

attempting to git bisect a panic - I must be doing something wrong...
The main issue: out-of-tree, proprietary broadcom-sta wireless works in 2.6.35-git1 and panics in following kernels tried (-git2, -git3, -git4, -git5) at load time; RIPs don't get logged on disk and have been different at least two out of three times (once in neigh_invalidate, once in acpi_enter_idle_bm).

[GIT PULL] (cleaned up) block/IO bits for 2.6.36-rc1
Hi Linus, Lets try this again. I based it off v2.6.35 and did the manual work required to get it to apply. The main issue was the ordering around the xen-blkfront and the block BKL removal patches. And I also dropped a patch that could be folded into another one. I did a test pull of this into your current HEA... 8 Aug 2010 06:55
