[PATCH] arch/tile: Fix a couple of issues with the COMPAT code for TILE-Gx.
First, the siginfo preamble wasn't quite right; we need to indicate that we are padding up to 4 ints of preamble for 64-bit code, and then for compat mode we need to pad differently, using only 3 ints. Second, the C ABI requires a save area of two registers, not two pointers, since in compat mode we have 64-bit r... 13 Aug 2010 10:18

[patch] usb/serial/ssu100: uninitialized variable
GCC complains about the original code, because we're using an unintialized variable "flag". I think we should be setting flag based on the UART_LSR_BRK_ERROR_BITS but I'm not sure... I don't have this hardware. Probably passing TTY_NORMAL is better than the current code? Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <error27@g... 13 Aug 2010 09:12

[PATCHv4 1/2] lib: vsprintf: optimised put_dec() function
The put_dec() and family of functions were based on a code optimised for processors with 8-bit ALU but since we don't need to limit ourselves to such small ALUs, the code was optimised and used capacities of an 16-bit ALU anyway. This patch goes further and uses the full capacity of the processor's ALU. On 64... 13 Aug 2010 09:12

block: replace barrier with sequenced flush
The patchset looks functionally correct to me, and with a small patch to make use of WRITE_FUA_FLUSH survives xfstests, and instrumenting the underlying qemu shows that we actually get the flush requests where we should. No performance or power fail testing done yet. But I do not like the transition very much. ... 13 Aug 2010 11:24
