2011-07-11Documentation/Changes: remove some really obsolete textLinus Torvalds
That file harkens back to the days of the big 2.4 -> 2.6 version jump, and was based even then on older versions. Some of it is just obsolete, and Jesper Juhl points out that it talks about kernel versions 2.6 and should be updated to 3.0. Remove some obsolete text, and re-phrase some other to not be 2.6-specific. Reported-by: Jesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2011-03-22Documentation/Changes: minor correctionsChristian Kujau
I noticed the 'mcelog' program had no comment and then ended up "fixing" a few more things: * reiserfsck -V does not print "reiserfsprogs" (any more?) * is "udevinfo" still shipped? udevd certainly is * grub2 doesn't have a 'grub' binary * add a "# how to get the mcelog version" comment Signed-off-by: Christian Kujau <lists@nerdbynature.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2010-07-11Documentation update broken web addressesJustin P. Mattock
I've found some web addresses not responding, giving the cannot connect error when trying to load them. The below patch updates the addresses that are not connecting with the best that I can find, and also fixes a couple of addresses, so people can either choose an older version of the package and/or a newer version(i.e. ppp).

Add some information useful for PCMCIA device driver authors to Documentation/pcmcia/, and reference it in dmesg in case of hash mismatches. Also add a reference to pcmciautils to Documentation/Changes. With recent changes, you don't need to concern yourself with pcmcia-cs even if you have PCMCIA hardware, so the example above the list needed to be adapted as well.

2005-06-24[PATCH] oprofile: report anonymous region samplesJohn Levon
The below patch passes samples from anonymous regions to userspace instead of just dropping them. This provides the support needed for reporting anonymous-region code samples (today: basic accumulated results; later: Java and other dynamically compiled code). As this changes the format, an upgrade to the just-released 0.9 release of the userspace tools is required.

2005-05-01[PATCH] DocBook: Use xmlto to process the DocBook files.Martin Waitz
xmlto uses standared XSLT templates to generate manpages, (x)html pages, and XML FO files which can be processed with passivetex. This is much faster than using jadetex for everything. This patch also reduces the number of kernel-specific scripts that are needed to generate documentation.

2005-01-06[PATCH] add printing of udev version to scripts/ver_linuxJesper Juhl
Since udev is starting to be used a lot of places and I've seen people get asked about their udev version a few times on lkml I figured it was perhaps time that scripts/ver_linux reported this info so it would get into more bugreports by default.

2004-02-24[PATCH] pty changes require procps 3.2Andrew Morton
From: Albert Cahalan <albert@users.sourceforge.net> Now that /dev/pts is using the 12:20 dev_t, a new procps is required.
2004-02-22[PATCH] Require GNU Make version 3.79.1 or laterAndrew Morton
From: Adrian Bunk <bunk@fs.tum.de> GNU make 3.78 reproducible segfaults when building kernel 2.6. See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107333742902438&w=2 Therefore, the minimum requirement for GNU make has to be raised in Documentation/Changes. GNU make 3.79.1 works.
2004-02-18[PATCH] Documentation: remove /etc/modules.conf refsAndrew Morton
From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Someone complained about the number of references to /etc/modules.conf in the documentation. While fixing them up (and examples where changed), removed those which are redundant due to MODULE_ALIAS.

2003-09-21[PATCH] NLS: Remove the nls modules for only aliasAndrew Morton
From: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> This does the following, 1) This removes the nls modules for only alias. For backward compatible, this adds ->alias, and ->alias provides alias of charset. 2) For autoloading the module by the alias, use MODULE_ALIAS mechanism. 3) From changelog of module-init-tools, looks like MODULE_ALIAS needs module-init-tools 0.9.10 or later. So change the "Documentation/Changes".
2003-09-20[PATCH] fix for hidden-task problemAlbert Cahalan
It's bad to make (CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_DETACHED) tasks be _completely_ hidden. Resource consumption is hard to track down if a user can hide a task from /bin/ps. This patch, supported by the procps-3.1.13 release, gives admins the ability to search for such tasks. The top-level /proc directory remains uncontaminated.
2003-09-04[PATCH] New version of jfsutils neededDave Kleikamp
A recent change to the 2.6.0 kernel has changed the behavior of opening a block device with the O_EXCL flag. This can cause fsck.jfs to fail to replay the journal when a file system is mounted read-only. The JFS utilities have been fixed, and it is recommended that any users of JFS update the utilities to version 1.1.3.
2003-07-31[PATCH] Require nfs-utils 1.0.5; document where to get itChip Salzenberg

2003-04-08[PATCH] Enforce gcc-2.95 as the minimum compiler requirementAndrew Morton
Now that sparc64 is using gcc-3.x we can disallow gcc-2.91, etc. Documentation/Changes already says 2.95.3, which is working fine for me. With this change, we no longer require that per-cpu data definitions be initialised. That was a workaround for a bug in older gccs. So remove the build infrastructure which was checking for that. Also, mention that nfs-utils-1.0.3 is required. It isn't required yet, but will be once we enable larger dev_t: there is an interface for exportfs which passes dev_t's into the kernel which breaks with larger dev_t. That interface is old, deprecated and is not used in nfs-utils-1.0.3.
2003-02-09[PATCH] Documentation_ChangesRusty Russell
From: Frank Davis <fdavis@si.rr.com> this was already mentioned on l-k by ramune@net-ronin.org, but isn't in 2.5.59. Placing on the trivial queue for inclusion.
2003-01-15kbuild/modules: Save space on symbol listKai Germaschewski
The current code reserves 60 bytes for the symbol string of every exported symbol, unnecessarily wasting kernel memory since most symbols are much shorter. We revert to the 2.4 solution where the actual strings are saved out of line and only the pointers are kept. The latest module-init-tools already handle this case, people who are using older versions need to update to make sure depmod works properly. Saves 80 KB in vmlinux with my .config.
2002-12-27[PATCH] Documentation/Changes for modulesDaniel A. Nobuto
the url for module-init-tools has been fixed, and all the references to modutils (outside source) has been updated if necessary. more patches to follow to fix up the modules.conf/conf.modules vs. modprobe.conf references.
2002-12-18[PATCH] oprofile updateJohn Levon
This makes the following changes : o headers cleanup o remove deprecated kernel_only o mention minimum oprofile version o correct initialise stats o remove racy debug check (wli saw this oops) o remove pointless simple_open o add dump functionality o remove pessimising FASTCALL It fixes a critical race.
