Merge second patch-bomb from Andrew Morton: - a couple of hotfixes - the rest of MM - a new timer slack control in procfs - a couple of procfs fixes - a few misc things - some printk tweaks - lib/ updates, notably to radix-tree. - add my and Nick Piggin's old userspace radix-tree test harness to tools/testing/radix-tree/. Matthew said it was a godsend during the radix-tree work he did. - a few code-size improvements, switching to __always_inline where gcc screwed up. - partially implement character sets in sscanf * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: (118 commits) sscanf: implement basic character sets lib/bug.c: use common WARN helper param: convert some "on"/"off" users to strtobool lib: add "on"/"off" support to kstrtobool lib: update single-char callers of strtobool() lib: move strtobool() to kstrtobool() include/linux/unaligned: force inlining of byteswap operations include/uapi/linux/byteorder, swab: force inlining of some byteswap operations include/asm-generic/atomic-long.h: force inlining of some atomic_long operations usb: common: convert to use match_string() helper ide: hpt366: convert to use match_string() helper ata: hpt366: convert to use match_string() helper power: ab8500: convert to use match_string() helper power: charger_manager: convert to use match_string() helper drm/edid: convert to use match_string() helper pinctrl: convert to use match_string() helper device property: convert to use match_string() helper lib/string: introduce match_string() helper radix-tree tests: add test for radix_tree_iter_next radix-tree tests: add regression3 test ... |

Documentation for /proc/sys/ kernel version 2.2.10 (c) 1998, 1999, Rik van Riel <riel@nl.linux.org> 'Why', I hear you ask, 'would anyone even _want_ documentation for them sysctl files? If anybody really needs it, it's all in the source...' Well, this documentation is written because some people either don't know they need to tweak something, or because they don't have the time or knowledge to read the source code. Furthermore, the programmers who built sysctl have built it to be actually used, not just for the fun of programming it :-) ============================================================== Legal blurb: As usual, there are two main things to consider: 1. you get what you pay for 2. it's free The consequences are that I won't guarantee the correctness of this document, and if you come to me complaining about how you screwed up your system because of wrong documentation, I won't feel sorry for you. I might even laugh at you... But of course, if you _do_ manage to screw up your system using only the sysctl options used in this file, I'd like to hear of it. Not only to have a great laugh, but also to make sure that you're the last RTFMing person to screw up. In short, e-mail your suggestions, corrections and / or horror stories to: <riel@nl.linux.org> Rik van Riel. ============================================================== Introduction: Sysctl is a means of configuring certain aspects of the kernel at run-time, and the /proc/sys/ directory is there so that you don't even need special tools to do it! In fact, there are only four things needed to use these config facilities: - a running Linux system - root access - common sense (this is especially hard to come by these days) - knowledge of what all those values mean As a quick 'ls /proc/sys' will show, the directory consists of several (arch-dependent?) subdirs. Each subdir is mainly about one part of the kernel, so you can do configuration on a piece by piece basis, or just some 'thematic frobbing'. The subdirs are about: abi/ execution domains & personalities debug/ <empty> dev/ device specific information (eg dev/cdrom/info) fs/ specific filesystems filehandle, inode, dentry and quota tuning binfmt_misc <Documentation/binfmt_misc.txt> kernel/ global kernel info / tuning miscellaneous stuff net/ networking stuff, for documentation look in: <Documentation/networking/> proc/ <empty> sunrpc/ SUN Remote Procedure Call (NFS) vm/ memory management tuning buffer and cache management These are the subdirs I have on my system. There might be more or other subdirs in another setup. If you see another dir, I'd really like to hear about it :-)
