To: linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu From: torvalds@transmeta.com (Linus Torvalds) Subject: Linux-2.4.0-test5 Date: 27 Jul 2000 18:15:53 -0700 There's a 2.4.0-test5 kernel out there. The diff is pretty huge, to a large degree due to a bttv driver syntactic split-up and due to the NLS forward-port from 2.2.x. Other notable bugfixes: - the buggy Toshiba (and possibly others) BIOS memory reporting thing is fixed. Just ignore RAM that the BIOS reports in the 640k-1M range. The BIOS is confused. - Manfred Spraul found and fixed a SMP TLB invalidation problem with threads. - various architecture updates (arm, ia64, sparc, sh..) - MD driver cleanups - Toshiba floppy controller problem workaround - updated DRI code (works with XF86-4.0.1) - various driver updates (ToPIC CardBus should work, ide updates, etc) - "kfree_s()" is gone. It hasn't existed for several years, but people still used it. No more. - USB driver updates and fbcon cleanups - various othe rupdates I've repressed. Be happy.
