      [PATCH] remove remaining errno and __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ references · 135ab6ec
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The last in-kernel user of errno is gone, so we should remove the definition
      and everything referring to it.  This also removes the now-unused lib/execve.c
      file that was introduced earlier.
      
      Also remove every trace of __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ that still remained in the
      kernel.

      [PATCH] Directed yield: cpu_relax variants for spinlocks and rw-locks · ef6edc97
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      On systems running with virtual cpus there is optimization potential in
      regard to spinlocks and rw-locks.  If the virtual cpu that has taken a lock
      is known to a cpu that wants to acquire the same lock it is beneficial to
      yield the timeslice of the virtual cpu in favour of the cpu that has the
      lock (directed yield).
      
      With CONFIG_PREEMPT="n" this can be implemented by the architecture without
      common code changes.  Powerpc already does this.
      
      With CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" the lock loops are coded with _raw_spin_trylock,
      _raw_read_trylock and _raw_write_trylock in kernel/spinlock.c.  If the lock
      could not be taken cpu_relax is called.  A directed yield is not possible
      because cpu_relax doesn't know anything about the lock.  To be able to
      yield the lock in favour of the current lock holder variants of cpu_relax
      for spinlocks and rw-locks are needed.  The new _raw_spin_relax,
      _raw_read_relax and _raw_write_relax primitives differ from cpu_relax
      insofar that they have an argument: a pointer to the lock structure.

      [PATCH] Standardize pxx_page macros · 46a82b2d
      Dave McCracken 提交于
      One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
      pxx_page macros.  pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
      page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
      have returned the kernel virtual address.  pud_page and pgd_page, on the
      other hand, return the kernel virtual address.
      
      Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
      structures.  There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
      simple to standardize their usage.
      
      Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone
      patch.  Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the
      pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.

      [PATCH] libata: rework legacy handling to remove much of the cruft · 2ec7df04
      Alan Cox 提交于
      Kill host_set->next
      Fix simplex support
      Allow per platform setting of IDE legacy bases
      
      Some of this can be tidied further later on, in particular all the
      legacy port gunge belongs as a PCI quirk/PCI header decode to understand
      the special legacy IDE rules in the PCI spec.
      
      Longer term Jeff also wants to move the request_irq/free_irq out of core
      which will make this even cleaner.
      
      tj: folded in three followup patches - ata_piix-fix, broken-arch-fix
      and fix-new-legacy-handling, and separated per-dev xfermask into
      separate patch preceding this one.  Folded in fixes are...
      
      * ata_piix-fix: fix build failure due to host_set->next removal
      * broken-arch-fix: add missing include/asm-*/libata-portmap.h
      * fix-new-legacy-handling:
      	* In ata_pci_init_legacy_port(), probe_num was incorrectly
                incremented during initialization of the secondary port and
                probe_ent->n_ports was incorrectly fixed to 1.
      
      	* Both legacy ports ended up having the same hard_port_no.
      
      	* When printing port information, both legacy ports printed
      	  the first irq.

      [PATCH] remove set_wmb - arch removal · 52393ccc
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      set_wmb should not be used in the kernel because it just confuses the
      code more and has no benefit.  Since it is not currently used in the
      kernel this patch removes it so that new code does not include it.
      
      All archs define set_wmb(var, value) to do { var = value; wmb(); }
      while(0) except ia64 and sparc which use a mb() instead.  But this is
      still moot since it is not used anyway.

      [AF_UNIX]: Datagram getpeersec · 877ce7c1
      Catherine Zhang 提交于
      This patch implements an API whereby an application can determine the
      label of its peer's Unix datagram sockets via the auxiliary data mechanism of
      recvmsg.
      
      Patch purpose:
      
      This patch enables a security-aware application to retrieve the
      security context of the peer of a Unix datagram socket.  The application
      can then use this security context to determine the security context for
      processing on behalf of the peer who sent the packet.
      
      Patch design and implementation:
      
      The design and implementation is very similar to the UDP case for INET
      sockets.  Basically we build upon the existing Unix domain socket API for
      retrieving user credentials.  Linux offers the API for obtaining user
      credentials via ancillary messages (i.e., out of band/control messages
      that are bundled together with a normal message).  To retrieve the security
      context, the application first indicates to the kernel such desire by
      setting the SO_PASSSEC option via getsockopt.  Then the application
      retrieves the security context using the auxiliary data mechanism.
      
      An example server application for Unix datagram socket should look like this:
      
      toggle = 1;
      toggle_len = sizeof(toggle);
      
      setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PASSSEC, &toggle, &toggle_len);
      recvmsg(sockfd, &msg_hdr, 0);
      if (msg_hdr.msg_controllen > sizeof(struct cmsghdr)) {
          cmsg_hdr = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg_hdr);
          if (cmsg_hdr->cmsg_len <= CMSG_LEN(sizeof(scontext)) &&
              cmsg_hdr->cmsg_level == SOL_SOCKET &&
              cmsg_hdr->cmsg_type == SCM_SECURITY) {
              memcpy(&scontext, CMSG_DATA(cmsg_hdr), sizeof(scontext));
          }
      }
      
      sock_setsockopt is enhanced with a new socket option SOCK_PASSSEC to allow
      a server socket to receive security context of the peer.
      
      Testing:
      
      We have tested the patch by setting up Unix datagram client and server
      applications.  We verified that the server can retrieve the security context
      using the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.

      [SPARC64]: of_device layer IRQ resolution · 2b1e5978
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Do IRQ determination generically by parsing the PROM properties,
      and using IRQ controller drivers for final resolution.
      
      One immediate positive effect is that all of the IRQ frobbing
      in the EBUS, ISA, and PCI controller layers has been eliminated.
      We just look up the of_device and use the properly computed
      value.
      
      The PCI controller irq_build() routines are gone and no longer
      used.  Unfortunately sbus_build_irq() has to remain as there is
      a direct reference to this in the sunzilog driver.  That can be
      killed off once the sparc32 side of this is written and the
      sunzilog driver is transformed into an "of" bus driver.

      [PATCH] sched: mc/smt power savings sched policy · 5c45bf27

      sysfs entries 'sched_mc_power_savings' and 'sched_smt_power_savings' in

      Based on the values (1-enable, 0-disable) for these controls, sched groups
      cpu power will be determined for different domains.  When power savings
      policy is enabled and under light load conditions, scheduler will minimize
      the physical packages/cpu cores carrying the load and thus conserving
      power(with a perf impact based on the workload characteristics...  see OLS
