Revision efff0471b0dd8b08ca3830b06a9083f6d6cef44e authored by Linus Torvalds on 01 June 2012, 22:46:46 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 01 June 2012, 22:46:46 UTC
Pull arm fixes for ux500 mismerge mishap from Arnd Bergmann:
 "The device tree conversion for arm/ux500 in 3.5 turns out to be
  incomplete because of a mismerge done by Linus Walleij that I failed
  to notice early enough and that Lee Jones as the original author of
  those patches did not manage to fix during the -next cycle.  While we
  originally to get a much larger set of ux500 device tree enablement
  patches merged, this did not happen in time.

  After some discussion at Linaro Connect conference this week, Lee has
  been able to do damage control and provide a series to put the broken
  platform back into usable shape for both DT and non-DT based booting.

  This series has not been part of linux-next and is based on top of the
  current state of the upstream kernel rather than an -rc, but this is
  the best we could manage given the earlier breakage."

REPORTING-BUGS
[Some of this is taken from Frohwalt Egerer's original linux-kernel FAQ]

     What follows is a suggested procedure for reporting Linux bugs. You
aren't obliged to use the bug reporting format, it is provided as a guide
to the kind of information that can be useful to developers - no more.

     If the failure includes an "OOPS:" type message in your log or on
screen please read "Documentation/oops-tracing.txt" before posting your
bug report. This explains what you should do with the "Oops" information
to make it useful to the recipient.

      Send the output to the maintainer of the kernel area that seems to
be involved with the problem, and cc the relevant mailing list. Don't
worry too much about getting the wrong person. If you are unsure send it
to the person responsible for the code relevant to what you were doing.
If it occurs repeatably try and describe how to recreate it. That is
worth even more than the oops itself.  The list of maintainers and
mailing lists is in the MAINTAINERS file in this directory.  If you
know the file name that causes the problem you can use the following
command in this directory to find some of the maintainers of that file:
     perl scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f <filename>

      If it is a security bug, please copy the Security Contact listed
in the MAINTAINERS file.  They can help coordinate bugfix and disclosure.
See Documentation/SecurityBugs for more information.

      If you are totally stumped as to whom to send the report, send it to
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org. (For more information on the linux-kernel
mailing list see http://www.tux.org/lkml/).

This is a suggested format for a bug report sent to the Linux kernel mailing
list. Having a standardized bug report form makes it easier for you not to
overlook things, and easier for the developers to find the pieces of
information they're really interested in. Don't feel you have to follow it.

      First run the ver_linux script included as scripts/ver_linux, which
reports the version of some important subsystems.  Run this script with
the command "sh scripts/ver_linux".

Use that information to fill in all fields of the bug report form, and
post it to the mailing list with a subject of "PROBLEM: <one line
summary from [1.]>" for easy identification by the developers.

[1.] One line summary of the problem:
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
[4.] Kernel information
[4.1.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
[4.2.] Kernel .config file:
[5.] Most recent kernel version which did not have the bug:
[6.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
     resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)
[7.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
     problem (if possible)
[8.] Environment
[8.1.] Software (add the output of the ver_linux script here)
[8.2.] Processor information (from /proc/cpuinfo):
[8.3.] Module information (from /proc/modules):
[8.4.] Loaded driver and hardware information (/proc/ioports, /proc/iomem)
[8.5.] PCI information ('lspci -vvv' as root)
[8.6.] SCSI information (from /proc/scsi/scsi)
[8.7.] Other information that might be relevant to the problem
       (please look in /proc and include all information that you
       think to be relevant):
[X.] Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds:
