* sysrq: add show-backtrace-on-all-cpus functionRik van Riel2008-04-291-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SysRQ-P is not always useful on SMP systems, since it usually ends up showing the backtrace of a CPU that is doing just fine, instead of the backtrace of the CPU that is having problems. This patch adds SysRQ show-all-cpus(L), which shows the backtrace of every active CPU in the system. It skips idle CPUs because some SMP systems are just too large and we already know what the backtrace of the idle task looks like.

* Documentation: sysrq, description of 'h' slightly inaccurateJesper Juhl2007-08-121-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | In Documentation/sysrq.txt, the description of 'h' says that any key not listed *above* will generate help. That's obviously not true since all the keys listed below 'h' will do what they are described to do, not display help. So change the text so that it says that any key not listed in the table will generate help, which is what really happens.

* [PATCH] Documentation/sysrq.txt: added short description for 'Q' (timerlist)Johannes Weiner2007-03-231-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | I added the 'Q' to list. A short description in the `Ok, so what can I use them for'-section, on when or why to use it would be nice!

* [PATCH] sysrq: showBlockedTasks is sysrq-WRandy Dunlap2007-02-021-31/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change SysRq showBlockedTasks from sysrq-X to sysrq-W and show that in the Help message. It was previously done via X, but X is already used for Xmon on ppc & powerpc platforms and this collision needs to be avoided. All callers of register_sysrq_key() are now marked in the sysrq op/key table. I didn't mark 'h' as Help because Help is just printed for any unknown key, such as '?'. Added some omitted sysrq key entries in the sysrq.txt file.

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!
