Subject: + kconfig-update-flightly-outdated-config_smp-documentation.patch added to -mm tree To: psquid@xxxxxxxxxx From: akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Mon, 06 Jan 2014 15:25:32 -0800 The patch titled Subject: Kconfig: update flightly outdated CONFIG_SMP documentation has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is kconfig-update-flightly-outdated-config_smp-documentation.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/kconfig-update-flightly-outdated-config_smp-documentation.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/kconfig-update-flightly-outdated-config_smp-documentation.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Robert Graffham <psquid@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Kconfig: update flightly outdated CONFIG_SMP documentation Remove an outdated reference to "most personal computers" having only one CPU, and change the use of "singleprocessor" and "single processor" in CONFIG_SMP's documentation to "uniprocessor" across all arches where that documentation is present.
