Paul Bolle c8c3f7d621 Documentation/Changes: clean up mcelog paragraph
The paragraph on mcelog currently describes kernel v2.6.31. In that
kernel the mce code (for i386, that is) was in transition. Ever since
v2.6.32 the situation is much simpler (eg, mcelog is now needed to
process events on almost all x86 machines, i386 and x86-64). Since this
"document is designed to provide a list of the minimum levels of
software necessary to run the 3.0 kernels" let's just describe that
situation.

Linus Torvalds 5adaf851d2 Documentation/Changes: remove some really obsolete text
That file harkens back to the days of the big 2.4 -> 2.6 version jump,
and was based even then on older versions.  Some of it is just obsolete,
and Jesper Juhl points out that it talks about kernel versions 2.6 and
should be updated to 3.0.

Remove some obsolete text, and re-phrase some other to not be 2.6-specific.

Christian Kujau e06c374400 Documentation/Changes: minor corrections
I noticed the 'mcelog' program had no comment and then ended up "fixing"
a few more things:

  * reiserfsck -V does not print "reiserfsprogs" (any more?)
  * is "udevinfo" still shipped? udevd certainly is
  * grub2 doesn't have a 'grub' binary
  * add a "# how to get the mcelog version" comment

John Levon 0c0a400d1d [PATCH] oprofile: report anonymous region samples
The below patch passes samples from anonymous regions to userspace instead
of just dropping them.  This provides the support needed for reporting
anonymous-region code samples (today: basic accumulated results; later:
Java and other dynamically compiled code).

As this changes the format, an upgrade to the just-released 0.9 release of
the userspace tools is required.

This patch is based upon an earlier one by Will Cohen <wcohen@redhat.com>

using jadetex for everything.  This patch also reduces the number of

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
