Linux 3.3 release

Linux 3.3 release

[Linus Torvalds]

So after the extra -rc release last weekend, now the final 3.3 is out
there in the usual locations.

Things did indeed calm down during the last week, and the shortlog
looks pretty boring. The diffstat from -rc7 is dominated by the
arch/tile defconfig changes, the rest is pretty small, although there
are changes spread out in various subsystem s(drivers, filesystem,
networking, perf tools).

The shortlog (from -rc7) is appended, and for a more high-level view
of at least parts of the changes since 3.2 it's probably worth going
to kernelnewbies:

  http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.3

which tends to be pretty good about these kinds of things.

And obviously, the 3.3 release means that the merge window for 3.4 is
now open, although I may keep of pulling stuff for a day or so to
encourage people to test the actual release.

I did want to mention that with spring break for my kids coming up
during this merge window, I will be gone a couple of days to the
Oregon coast, probably without any real internet access. We'll see.
It's mostly during next weekend, so it's probably not that noticeable,
but if it means that I fall behind I might spend a few extra days
doing merging. But even if that means that -rc1 might be slightly
delayed, I'll use the normal two-week cut-off for actual pull
requests.

And who knows - it's entirely possible that it won't be an issue at
all, and everything will be on schedule. But I thought I'd mention the
possibility so that it doesn't take anybody by surprise.

Re: Linux 3.3 release

[Romain Francoise]

There seems to be a regression in the final release compared to -rc7,
specifically this commit:

> Matthew Garrett (1):
>       PCI: ignore pre-1.1 ASPM quirking when ASPM is disabled

causes an early kernel panic on my machine (Intel DP67BG). Reverting the
change fixes it. Unfortunately it crashes before setting up the video mode
so I don't have the full stack trace, but RIP points to
pcie_aspm_init_link_state().

When the machine boots successfully, dmesg contains the following related
to ASPM:

[    0.382384] ACPI FADT declares the system doesn't support PCIe ASPM, so disable it
[    0.433016] pci 0000:06:00.0: disabling ASPM on pre-1.1 PCIe device.  You can enable it with 'pcie_aspm=force'

This commit is also breaking boot on one of my boxes; it's causing the
pata_jmicron driver to fail to detect my IDE boot drive. This was
reported in this thread as well:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/22/6

Apparently, using the 'pcie_aspm=force' may work around the issue, from
some reports that I've seen when searching around. Haven't tried it
myself, yet.

(Coming back to this thread late)

This issue should be fixed by commit c9651e70ad0a ("ASPM: Fix pcie
devices with non-pcie children") in mainline, and it's in the stable
queue too.

I can confirm that v3.4-rc1 boots fine on my machine. Thanks!
