Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2003 19:45:33 +0200 User-Agent: KMail/1.5.1 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200304141945.33929.schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi Linus, the s390 patch set keeps growing: 16 patches against bitkeeper of 2003/04/14. This patch set includes a nice one: the removal (!!) of the s390x architecture files. I hope this makes Christoph Hellwig happy who has been nagging us to do so. In fact it was easier than I thought it would be. Arnd did some Makefile magic that allowed us to remove one file after the other. This sped up the process quite a bit. Short descriptions: 1) s390 architecture changes and bug fixes. There is one fix that affects common code: invoke_softirq. For s390 we want to switch to the async. interrupt stack in local_bh_enable. 2) Add support for system call numbers > 255. 3) Common i/o layer changes. 4) Bug fixes for the sclp and 3215 console drivers. 5) Bug fixes for the ctc, lcs and iucv network drivers. 6) Make uni-processor kernels compile & work again. 7) Bug fixes & small improvements for the dasd driver. 8) Coding style adaptions for the dasd driver. This patch is big but it doesn't do much. I removed outdated comments and most of the structure typedefs. No real code change in this one. 9) Part 2 of the dasd coding style adaptions. 10-16) The patches 10-16 belong together. They merge the s390x architecture bits into the s390 files. 31/64 bit is now a configuration option. The effect of this is that the files in include/asm-s390x and arch/s390x can be removed. If you apply the patches 10-16 please do so. I didn't want to send another huge patch just to remove the two directories. blue skies, Martin.
