Problem Details: The 82875 EDAC driver enables an otherwise-hidden PCI device, but doesn't register it as a PCI device properly. Therefore, the device list in /proc/bus/pci/devices is different than the tree in /sys/bus/pci. This usually manifests as the X server failing to start, since it expects the two lists to be...

Analyze and fix the following issue in the Linux kernel code: time: SMP friendly alignment of struct clocksource
Problem Details: struct clocksource is a critical data structure. Most of its fields are read only, some of them are heavily modified at each timer interrupt. It makes sense to separate those fields and make sure they all share one cache line, or at least the minimum for machines with small cache lines. [akpm@linux-...
