Am Montag, dem 02. Januar war es wieder soweit und der Urvater des Linux Kernels, Linus Torvalds stellte mit den Worten "Hey, it's fifteen years today since I bought the machine that got Linux started. January 2nd is a good date." den neusten Linux Kernel, in der Version 2.6.15 vor.
Auch dieses mal erfuhr der Linux Kernel wieder zahlreiche Verbesserungen und Bugfixes. Diesmal sind es ganze 30 Patches, die die neue Version auszeichnen. Unter anderem wurden dabei verbesserte NTFS-Treiber, ein neuer ALSA-Treiber, der nun unter anderem auch NVIDIAs Soundstorm Chips unterstützt, sowie eine Überarbeitung des in den 2.6.14 integrierten 802.11 (W-LAN) Treiber hinzugefügt.
that changed the GART VM start offset. It fixed some machines, but seems to continually interact badly with some X versions.
Quoth Ben Herrenschmidt:
"So I think at this point, the best is that we keep the old bogus code that at least is consistent with the bug in the server. I'm working on a big patch to X that reworks the memory map stuff completely and fixes those issues on the server side, I'll do a DRM patch matching this X fix as well so that the memory map is only ever set in one place and with what I hope is a correct algorithm..."

[PATCH] ppc64: htab_initialize_secondary cannot be marked __init
Sonny has noticed hotplug CPU on ppc64 is broken in 2.6.15-*. One of the problems is that htab_initialize_secondary is called when a cpu is being brought up, but it is marked __init.

[PATCH] x86_64: Fix incorrect node_present_pages on NUMA
Currently, we do not pass the correct start_pfn to e820_hole_size, to calculate holes. Following patch fixes that.
The bug results in incorrect number of node_present_pages for each pgdat and causes ugly output in /sys and probably VM inbalances.

[PATCH] fix ia64 compile failure with gcc4.1
__get_unaligned creates a typeof the var its passed, and writes to it, which on gcc4.1, spits out the following error:
drivers/char/vc_screen.c: In function 'vcs_write': drivers/char/vc_screen.c:422: error: assignment of read-only variable 'val'

[PATCH] uml: fix compilation with CONFIG_MODE_TT disabled
Fix UML compilation when SKAS mode is disabled. Indeed, we were compiling SKAS-only object files, which failed due to some SKAS-only headers being excluded from the search path.
Thanks to the bug report from Pekka J Enberg.

[PATCH] Hostfs: update for new glibc - add missing symbol exports
Today, when compiling UML, I got warnings for two used unexported symbols: readdir64 and truncate64. Indeed, my glibc headers are aliasing readdir to readdir64 and truncate to truncate64 (and so on).
I'm then adding additional exports. Since I've no idea if the symbols where always provided in the supported glibc's, I've added weak definitions too.
