[PPPOE]: Advertise PPPoE MTU

2006-10-14T17:20:16+00:00

PPPoE must advertise the underlying device's MTU via the ppp channel descriptor structure, as multilink functionality depends on it. Signed-off-by: Michal Ostrowski Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

[SPARC64]: Kill bogus check from bootmem_init().

2006-10-14T08:35:26+00:00

There is an ancient and totally incorrect sanity check being done on the ramdisk location. The check assumes that the kernel is always loaded to physical address zero, which is wrong. It was trying to validate the ramdisk value by saying that if it fell within the kernel image address range it must be wrong. Anyways, kill this because it actually creates problems. The 'ramdisk_image' should always be adjusted down by KERNBASE. SILO can easily put the ramdisk in a location which causes this test to trigger, breaking things.

[SPARC64]: Fix sched_clock() wrapping every ~17 seconds.

2006-10-14T08:33:10+00:00

Unfortunately, sparc64 doesn't have an easy way to do a "64 X 64 --> 128" bit multiply like PowerPC and IA64 do. We were doing a "64 X 64 --> 64" bit multiple which causes overflow very quickly with a 30-bit quotient shift. So use a quotientshift count of 10 instead of 30, just like x86 and ARM do. This also fixes the wrapping of printk timestamp values every ~17 seconds. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk
