kbuild failed to locate Makefile for external modules.
This brought to my attention how the variables for directories
have different values in different usage scenarios.
Different kbuild usage scenarios:
make - plain make in same directory where kernel source lives
make O= - kbuild is told to store output files in another directory
make M= - building an external module
make O= M= - building an external module with kernel output seperate from src
Value assigned to the different variables:
|$(src) |$(obj) |$(srctree) |$(objtree)
make |reldir to k src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to k src
make O= |reldir to k src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to output dir
make M= |abs path to src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to k src
make O= M= |abs path to src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to k output
path to kbuild file:
make | $(srctree)/$(src), $(src)
make O= | $(srctree)/$(src)
make M= | $(src)
make O= M= | $(src)
From the table above it can be seen that the only good way to find the
home directory of the kbuild file is to locate the one of the two variants
that is an absolute path. If $(src) is an absolute path (starts with /)
then use it, otherwise prefix $(src) with $(srctree).

Suggestion from Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
It causes all driver families to be displayed aligned immediately under the
main network drivers heading (in menuconfig/xconfig/gconfig) instead of
not being subordinate to (i.e., not indented) the Network device support
heading at all.
The improved network driver families are:
token ring, wireless, PCMCIA, WAN, ATM, and S390.

Under heavy load, hot metadata pages are often locked by non-committed
transactions, making them difficult to flush to disk. This prevents
the sync point from advancing past a transaction that had modified the
page.
There is a point during the sync barrier processing where all
outstanding transactions have been committed to disk, but no new
transaction have been allowed to proceed. This is the best time
to write the metadata.

Convert parport_serial to use the new 8250_pci interface, converting

Re-jig the setup/removal/suspend/resume of 8250 pci ports so that they
know slightly less about how they're attached to a PCI device. Expose
this as the new interface for registering PCI serial ports, as well as

Pass the serial_private structure via the setup method instead of
the pci_dev. We don't want to assume that the pci_dev's driver
data is a pointer to serial_private. Instead, put the pci_dev
inside serial_private.

During last phase of the build the following message were displayed:
/bin/sh: +@: command not found
This message appears due to slightly changed semantics
of cmd and if_changed_rule.
The easy fix was to insert a dummy command first in rule_ksym_ld.
The alternative was to redo part of this processing in the top-level
Makefile - a volatile area that I try to avoid.

RLIMIT_RTPRIO is supposed to grant non privileged users the right to use
SCHED_FIFO/SCHED_RR scheduling policies with priorites bounded by the
RLIMIT_RTPRIO value via sched_setscheduler(). This is usually used by
audio users.
Unfortunately this is broken in 2.6.13rc3 as you can see in the excerpt
from sched_setscheduler below:
/*
* Allow unprivileged RT tasks to decrease priority:
*/
if (!capable(CAP_SYS_NICE)) {
/* can't change policy */
if (policy != p->policy)
return -EPERM;
After the above unconditional test which causes sched_setscheduler to
fail with no regard to the RLIMIT_RTPRIO value the following check is made:
/* can't increase priority */
if (policy != SCHED_NORMAL &&
param->sched_priority > p->rt_priority &&
param->sched_priority >
p->signal->rlim[RLIMIT_RTPRIO].rlim_cur)
return -EPERM;
Thus I do believe that the RLIMIT_RTPRIO value must be taken into
account for the policy check, especially as the RLIMIT_RTPRIO limit is
of no use without this change.
The attached patch fixes this problem.

Now that all of the code paths that call acpi_power_off
have been modified to call either call kernel_power_off
(which calls apci_sleep_prepare by way of acpi_shutdown)
or to call acpi_sleep_prepare directly it is redundant to call
acpi_sleep_prepare from acpi_power_off.
So simplify the code and simply don't call acpi_sleep_prepare.
In addition there is a little error handling done so if we
can't register the acpi class we don't hook pm_power_off.
I think I have done the right thing with the CONFIG_PM define
but I'm not certain. Can this code even be compiled if
CONFIG_PM is false?

machine_power_off on i386 and x86_64 now switch to the
boot cpu out of paranoia and because the MP Specification indicates it
is a good idea on reboot, so for those architectures it is a noop.
I can't see anything in the acpi spec that requires you to be on
the boot cpu to power off the system, so this should not be an issue
for ia64. In addition ia64 has the altix a massive multi-node
system where switching to the boot cpu sounds insane as we may
hot removed the boot cpu.

i386 machine_power_off was disabling the local apic
and all of it's users wanted to be on the boot cpu.
So call machine_shutdown which places us on the boot
cpu and disables the apics. This keeps us in sync
and reduces the number of cases we need to worry about in
the power management code.

Call machine_shutdown() to move to the boot cpu
and disable apics. Both acpi_power_off and
apm_power_off want to move to the boot cpu.
and we are already disabling the local apics
so calling machine_shutdown simply reuses
code.
ia64 doesn't have a special path in power_off
for efi so there is no reason i386 should. If
we really need to call the efi power off path
the efi driver can set pm_power_off like everyone
else.
