Pull btrfs fixes from Chris Mason: "This has two last minute fixes. The highest priority here is a regression fix for the decompression code, but we also fixed up a problem with the 32-bit compat ioctls. The decompression bug could hand back the wrong data on big reads when zlib was used. I have a larger cleanup to make the math here less error prone, but at this stage in the release Omar's patch is the best choice" * 'for-linus-4.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs: btrfs: fix btrfs_decompress_buf2page() btrfs: fix btrfs_compat_ioctl failures on non-compat ioctls
README
Linux kernel release 2.4.xx for the IA-64 Platform
These are the release notes for Linux version 2.4 for IA-64
platform. This document provides information specific to IA-64
ONLY, to get additional information about the Linux kernel also
read the original Linux README provided with the kernel.
INSTALLING the kernel:
- IA-64 kernel installation is the same as the other platforms, see
original README for details.
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
Compiling and running this kernel requires an IA-64 compliant GCC
compiler. And various software packages also compiled with an
IA-64 compliant GCC compiler.
CONFIGURING the kernel:
Configuration is the same, see original README for details.
COMPILING the kernel:
- Compiling this kernel doesn't differ from other platform so read
the original README for details BUT make sure you have an IA-64
compliant GCC compiler.
IA-64 SPECIFICS
- General issues:
o Hardly any performance tuning has been done. Obvious targets
include the library routines (IP checksum, etc.). Less
obvious targets include making sure we don't flush the TLB
needlessly, etc.
o SMP locks cleanup/optimization
o IA32 support. Currently experimental. It mostly works.
