2.6.1-rc3

2.6.1-rc3

[Linus Torvalds]

Not a lot to say, the ChangeLog says it all (and I include the -rc2 log 
too, since I forgot to actually ever post it). Mostly random smaller stuff 
all over. The big merges were all in rc1 and do not seem to have caused 
any huge headaches.

David Mosberger:
  o ia64: Fix a ptrace-bug that caused "strace -f" to crash the
    inferior process.  The root-cause of the problem was that ptrace()
    tried to copy the portion of the register backing store that landed
    on the kernel stack back to users-space, but the resulting state
    was inconsistent if the inferior process was in the middle of a
    system-call (as would always be the case for strace).
  o ia64: Rearrange ia64_do_signal() such that it is possible for a
    debugger to cancel system-call restart.
  o ia64: Allow system-call number to be changed during system-call
    tracing (both for native and x86 system call tracing).  This is
    needed by recent versions of strace and UML likes to do that, too.
  o ia64: Remove the old ia64_ni_syscall()/sys32_ni_syscall() routines
    which are overly verbose and replace them with calls to
    sys_ni_syscall().
  o ia64: fix perfmon bug causing lost samples
  o ia64: Merge patch by Arun Sharma: hook up lots of ia32 syscalls
  o ia64: Rename efi_get_time() in the simulator's firmware-emulator to
    avoid name-clash with declaration of routine of the same name in
    <linux/efi.h>.
  o ia64: Update defconfig

David S. Miller:
  o [TG3]: Do not drop existing GRC_MODE_HOST_STACKUP when writing to
    GRC_MODE
  o [TG3]: Do not set RX_MODE_KEEP_VLAN_TAG when ASF is enabled
  o [TG3]: Clear on-chip stats/status block after resetting
    flow-through queues
  o [TG3]: Update version and release date
  o [TG3]: Update to latest non-5705 TSO firmware
  o [TG3]: Update version and reldate
  o [MEDIA]: ttusb_dec.c needs linux/init.h
  o [SPARC64]: Update defconfig

François Romieu:
  o [TG3]: Fix bogus return value in tg3_init_one()

Hideaki Yoshifuji:
  o [NET]: Fix comment type in skbuff.h

James Bottomley:
  o MSI broke voyager build

Jeroen Vreeken:
  o [AX25]: Missing spin_unlock() and recvmsg reported dst instead of
    src

Linus Torvalds:
  o Remove generated files from revision control
  o Remove dead files
  o Fix IDE "PIO WRITE wait for ready" test under extreme interrupt
    load

  o DVB: Fixes for frontend drivers
  o DVB: Add static firmware compilation again
  o DVB: Revamp of the TTUSB-DEC driver
  o DVB: Fix memory usage of ttpci driver

Would you mind including this for final 2.6.1 ? I allows aicasm build
with different db versions:
