I'd like to donate a MacBook Pro

Dear kernel developers, I have a MacBookPro12,1 A1502 with a very annoying problem. Every time it boots, the screen stays black for about 90 seconds, and the keyboard is unresponsive for an additional 40 seconds. Both the internal keyboard and (if present) external USB keyboard are unresponsive. T

[PATCH] SubmittingPatches: make Subject examples match the de facto standard

The examples should better match what kernel developers actually expect, so that they set a good example both for this project and for other projects with similar development processes. Signed-off-by: Alex Henrie --- Documentation/SubmittingPatches | 8 1 file changed, 4 insertions

ioperm is kept on fork

Hi, Could one of you knowledgeable kernel developers comment on https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99911 ? The man pages maintainer wants to know when this behavior changed. -Alex -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to major

Fwd: ioperm is preserved across fork and execve, but iopl is not

Dear kernel developers, The ioperm and iopl calls are both used to grant a process permission to access I/O devices directly. iopl(3) is equivalent to ioperm(0, 0x, 1). However, permissions granted through ioperm are preserved across fork and execve, and permissions granted through iopl are no
