[PATCH] x86: add a comment to __pa_symbol
Until all supported versions of gcc recognize -fno-strict-overflow, we should keep the RELOC_HIDE magic on __pa_symbol(). Comment it.

[PATCH v5 3/3] cgroups: make procs file writable

Adds functionality to read/write lock CLONE_THREAD fork()ing per-threadgroup From: Ben Blum <bblum(a)andrew.cmu.edu> This patch adds an rwsem that lives in a threadgroup's signal_struct that's taken for reading in the fork path, under CONFIG_CGROUPS.

[git pull] more vfs stuff
Misc stuff missed in the previous pile (including fixup for 9p breakage). The last part in sysvfs series replaced with akpm's version (with its whitespace fixes) with bogus include _not_ added. Freeze stuff still pending; unfortunately, I've found a hole in my variant ;-/ I know how to fix that, but I'd rather n... 11 Aug 2010 01:42
