Venkatesh Pallipadi	911a62d423	[PATCH] x86: sutomatically enable bigsmp when we have more than 8 CPUs ... i386 generic subarchitecture requires explicit dmi strings or command line to enable bigsmp mode. The patch below removes that restriction, and uses bigsmp as soon as it finds more than 8 logical CPUs, Intel processors and xAPIC support.

Natalie Protasevich	ca05fea6db	[PATCH] Do not enforce unique IO_APIC_ID check for xAPIC systems (i386) ... This patch is per Andi's request to remove NO_IOAPIC_CHECK from genapic and use heuristics to prevent unique I/O APIC ID check for systems that don't need it. The patch disables unique I/O APIC ID check for Xeon-based and other platforms that don't use serial APIC bus for interrupt delivery. Andi stated that AMD systems don't need unique IO_APIC_IDs either.

Linus Torvalds	1da177e4c3	Linux-2.6.12-rc2 ... Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!	20 years ago
