fcc18e83e1 [PATCH] uclinux: use PER_LINUX_32BIT in binfmt_flat
binfmt_flat.c calls set_personality with PER_LINUX as the personality.
On the arm architecture this results in the program running in 26bit
usermode.  PER_LINUX_32BIT should be used instead.  This doesn't affect
other architectures that use binfmt_flat.

623f523cc0 [PATCH] m68knommu: improve syscall entry and fix strace
Here is a patch to the system call handling for 5307/5272/etc to:

- fix the strace support (one tested the wrong bit)
- make all system calls a little bit faster by inlining set_esp0 and
  supporting ENOSYS out of the critical path.
- remove extraneous spaces

7bf9a37d8d [PATCH] m68knommu: force stack alignment on ColdFire
This patch solve a bug triggered by execvp (this function use calloc to
store the argument list and gcc 3.4.x align the stack to word, not to dword).
This situation aren't related to signal handling and all 2.6.x have the bug.
On ColdFire targets we must force the stack to be aligned.

00212fef81 [PATCH] Fix kdump Crash Kernel boot memory reservation for NUMA machines
This patch will fix a boot memory reservation bug that trashes memory on
the ES7000 when loading the kdump crash kernel.

The code in arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c to reserve boot memory for the crash
kernel uses the non-numa aware "reserve_bootmem" function instead of the
NUMA aware "reserve_bootmem_generic".  I checked to make sure that no other
function was using "reserve_bootmem" and found none, except the ones that
had NUMA ifdef'ed out.

I have tested this patch only on an ES7000 with NUMA on and off (numa=off)
in a single (non-NUMA) and multi-cell (NUMA) configurations.

77787bfb44 [PATCH] pacct: none-delayed process accounting accumulation
In current 2.6.17 implementation, signal_struct refered from task_struct is
used for per-process data structure.  The pacct facility also uses it as a
per-process data structure to store stime, utime, minflt, majflt.  But those
members are saved in __exit_signal().  It's too late.

For example, if some threads exits at same time, pacct facility has a
possibility to drop accountings for a part of those threads.  (see, the
following 'The results of original 2.6.17 kernel') I think accounting
information should be completely collected into the per-process data structure
before writing out an accounting record.

This patch fixes this matter.  Accumulation of stime, utime, minflt and majflt
are done before generating accounting record.

f6ec29a42d [PATCH] pacct: avoidance to refer the last thread as a representation of the process
When pacct facility generate an 'ac_flag' field in accounting record, it
refers a task_struct of the thread which died last in the process.  But any
other task_structs are ignored.

Therefore, pacct facility drops ASU flag even if root-privilege operations are
used by any other threads except the last one.  In addition, AFORK flag is
always set when the thread of group-leader didn't die last, although this
process has called execve() after fork().

We have a same matter in ac_exitcode.  The recorded ac_exitcode is an exit
code of the last thread in the process.  There is a possibility this exitcode
is not the group leader's one.

0e4648141a [PATCH] pacct: add pacct_struct to fix some pacct bugs.
The pacct facility need an i/o operation when an accounting record is
generated.  There is a possibility to wake OOM killer up.  If OOM killer is
activated, it kills some processes to make them release process memory
regions.

But acct_process() is called in the killed processes context before calling
exit_mm(), so those processes cannot release own memory.  In the results, any
processes stop in this point and it finally cause a system stall.
