2006-11-26	Revert "[PATCH] Enforce "unsigned long flags;" when spinlocking"	Linus Torvalds
	This reverts commit ee3ce191e8eaa4cc15c51a28b34143b36404c4f5, since it broke on at least ARM, MIPS and PA-RISC due to complicated header file dependencies. Conflicts in include/linux/spinlock.h (due to the "nested" variety fixes) fixed up by hand.

2006-11-25	[PATCH] Enforce "unsigned long flags;" when spinlocking	Alexey Dobriyan
	Make it break or warn if you pass to spin_lock_irqsave() and friends something different from "unsigned long flags;". Suprisingly large amount of these was caught by recent commit c53421b18f205c5f97c604ae55c6a921f034b0f6 and others. Idea is largely from FRV typechecking. Suggestions from Andrew Morton. All stupid typos in first version fixed. Passes allmodconfig on i386, x86_64, alpha, arm as well as my usual config. Note #1: checking with sparse is still needed, because a driver can save and pass around flags or something. So far patch is very intrusive. Note #2: techically, we should break only if sizeof(flags) < sizeof(unsigned long), however, the more pain for getting suspicious code into kernel, the better.

2006-07-03	[PATCH] lockdep: irqtrace subsystem, core	Ingo Molnar
	Accurate hard-IRQ-flags and softirq-flags state tracing. This allows us to attach extra functionality to IRQ flags on/off events (such as trace-on/off).
