2.6.16-rc4-mm1

From: Andrew Morton

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.16-rc4/2.6.16-rc4-mm1/

- git-jfs.patch has been dropped due to its ongoing git problems.

- Added Al Viro's `bird' tree (what does that mean, anyway?) as
git-viro-bird.patch.

This tree had a lot of things dropped when it is merged into -mm, partly
because some of it appears to have been merged into other git trees.

- This kernel won't compile on ia64 (and possibly other architectures)
because the kbuild tree is using Elf_Rela in scripts/mod/modpost.c. Is OK
on x86, x86_64 and powerpc. Sam might send a hotfix?

- Many warnings are emitted at the link stage due to section mismatches and
duplicated symbol exports. Please don't report these. Patches are welcome,
but do them carefully - it's easy to make mistakes with these things.



Boilerplate:

- See the `hot-fixes' directory for any important updates to this patchset.

- To fetch an -mm tree using git, use (for example)

git fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git v2.6.16-rc2-mm1

- -mm kernel commit activity can be reviewed by subscribing to the
mm-commits mailing list.

echo "subscribe mm-commits" | mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

- If you hit a bug in -mm and it's not obvious which patch caused it, it is
most valuable if you can perform a bisection search to identify which patch
introduced the bug. Instructions for this process are at

http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/bisecting-mm-trees.txt

But beware that this process takes some time (around ten rebuilds and
reboots), so consider reporting the bug first and if we cannot immediately
identify the faulty patch, then perform the bisection search.

- When reporting bugs, please try to Cc: the relevant maintainer and mailing
list on any email.
