The ipc64 data structures were originally meant to be architecture specific so that each architecture could add their own optimizations for padding. In the end, most of them just copied the x86 version, and most got that wrong. UClibc expects the x86 anyway, so we might just declare that the default and get rid of the extra copies.

This provides a reliable way for asm-generic/types.h and other files to find out if it is running on a 32 or 64 bit platform. We cannot use CONFIG_64BIT for this in headers that are included from user space because CONFIG symbols are not available there. We also cannot do it inside of asm/types.h because some headers need the word size but cannot include types.h. The solution is to introduce a new header <asm/bitsperlong.h> that defines both __BITS_PER_LONG for user space and BITS_PER_LONG for usage in the kernel. The asm-generic version falls back to 32 bit unless the architecture overrides it, which I did for all 64 bit platforms.

This patch is preparation for replacing all uses of ".head.text" or ".text.head" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel. Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the actual name. I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header, include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to appear in one place. I anticipate creating similar macro structures for a number of other section names. The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections. This requires renaming all magic sections with names of the form ".text.foo". Signed-off-by: NTim Abbott <tabbott@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU() does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between where the base register points and the per-CPU variable. On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws up the following errors: kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task': kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to be matched by variants on DECLARE.

This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'. The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface, (an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function, file, module, format string, and line number. for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack': echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control to disable them: echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

Impact: new feature This adds the generic support for syscalls tracing. This is currently exploited through a devoted tracer but other tracing engines can use it. (They just have to play with {start,stop}_ftrace_syscalls() and use the display callbacks unless they want to override them.) The syscalls prototypes definitions are abused here to steal some metadata informations: - syscall name, param types, param names, number of params The syscall addr is not directly saved during this definition because we don't know if its prototype is available in the namespace. But we don't really need it. The arch has just to build a function able to resolve the syscall number to its metadata struct. The current tracer prints the syscall names, parameters names and values (and their types optionally). Currently the value is a raw hex but higher level values diplaying is on my TODO list.

Impact: fix linker screwup on x86_32 Recent x86_64 zerobased patches introduced PERCPU_VADDR() to put .data.percpu to a predefined address and re-defined PERCPU() in terms of it. The new macro defined one extra symbol, __per_cpu_load, for LMA of the section so that the init data could be accessed. This new symbol introduced the following problems to x86_32. 1. If __per_cpu_load is defined outside of .data.percpu as an absolute symbol, relocation generation for relocatable kernel fails due to absolute relocation. 2. If __per_cpu_load is put inside .data.percpu with absolute address assignment to work around #1, linker gets confused and under certain configurations ends up relocating the symbol against .data.percpu such that the load address gets added on top of already set load address. As x86_32 doesn't use predefined address for .data.percpu, there's no need for it to care about the possibility of __per_cpu_load being different from __per_cpu_start. This patch defines PERCPU() separately so that __per_cpu_load is defined inside .data.percpu so that everything is ordinary linking-wise.

It is an optimization and a cleanup, and adds the following new generic percpu methods: percpu_read() percpu_write() percpu_add() percpu_sub() percpu_and() percpu_or() percpu_xor() and implements support for them on x86. (other architectures will fall back to a default implementation) The advantage is that for example to read a local percpu variable, instead of this sequence: return __get_cpu_var(var); ffffffff8102ca2b: 48 8b 14 fd 80 09 74 mov -0x7e8bf680(,%rdi,8),%rdx ffffffff8102ca32: 81 ffffffff8102ca33: 48 c7 c0 d8 59 00 00 mov $0x59d8,%rax ffffffff8102ca3a: 48 8b 04 10 mov (%rax,%rdx,1),%rax We can get a single instruction by using the optimized variants: return percpu_read(var); ffffffff8102ca3f: 65 48 8b 05 91 8f fd mov %gs:0x7efd8f91(%rip),%rax I also cleaned up the x86-specific APIs and made the x86 code use these new generic percpu primitives. tj: * fixed generic percpu_sub() definition as Roel Kluin pointed out * added percpu_and() for completeness's sake * made generic percpu ops atomic against preemption Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ] Currently pdas and percpu areas are allocated separately. %gs points to local pda and percpu area can be reached using pda->data_offset. This patch folds pda into percpu area. Due to strange gcc requirement, pda needs to be at the beginning of the percpu area so that pda->stack_canary is at %gs:40. To achieve this, a new percpu output section macro - PERCPU_VADDR_PREALLOC() - is added and used to reserve pda sized chunk at the start of the percpu area. After this change, for boot cpu, %gs first points to pda in the data.init area and later during setup_per_cpu_areas() gets updated to point to the actual pda. This means that setup_per_cpu_areas() need to reload %gs for CPU0 while clearing pda area for other cpus as cpu0 already has modified it when control reaches setup_per_cpu_areas(). This patch also removes now unnecessary get_local_pda() and its call sites. A lot of this patch is taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into per cpu area" patch.

[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ] This patch makes percpu symbols zerobased on x86_64 SMP by adding PERCPU_VADDR() to vmlinux.lds.h which helps setting explicit vaddr on the percpu output section and using it in vmlinux_64.lds.S. A new PHDR is added as existing ones cannot contain sections near address zero. PERCPU_VADDR() also adds a new symbol __per_cpu_load which always points to the vaddr of the loaded percpu data.init region. The following adjustments have been made to accomodate the address change. * code to locate percpu gdt_page in head_64.S is updated to add the load address to the gdt_page offset. * __per_cpu_load is used in places where access to the init data area is necessary. * pda->data_offset is initialized soon after C code is entered as zero value doesn't work anymore.

Unlike other alphas, marvel doesn't have real PC-style CMOS clock hardware - RTC accesses are emulated via PAL calls. Unfortunately, for unknown reason these calls work only on CPU #0. So current implementation for arbitrary CPU makes CMOS_READ/WRITE to be executed on CPU #0 via IPI. However, for obvious reason this doesn't work with standard get/set_rtc_time() functions, where a bunch of CMOS accesses is done with disabled interrupts. Solved by making the IPI calls for entire get/set_rtc_time() functions, not for individual CMOS accesses. Which is also a lot more effective performance-wise. The patch is largely based on the code from Jay Estabrook. My changes: - tweak asm-generic/rtc.h by adding a couple of #defines to avoid a massive code duplication in arch/alpha/include/asm/rtc.h; - sys_marvel.c: fix get/set_rtc_time() return values (Jay's FIXMEs). NOTE: this fixes *only* LIB_RTC drivers. Legacy (CONFIG_RTC) driver wont't work on marvel. Actually I think that we should just disable CONFIG_RTC on alpha (maybe in 2.6.30?), like most other arches - AFAIK, all modern distributions use LIB_RTC anyway.

While looking at reducing the amount of architecture namespace pollution in the generic kernel, I found that asm/irq.h is included in the vast majority of compilations on ARM (around 650 files.) Since asm/irq.h includes a sub-architecture include file on ARM, this causes a negative impact on the ccache's ability to re-use the build results from other sub-architectures, so we have a desire to reduce the dependencies on asm/irq.h. It turns out that a major cause of this is the needless include of linux/hardirq.h into asm-generic/local.h. The patch below removes this include, resulting in some 250 to 300 files (around half) of the kernel then omitting asm/irq.h. My test builds still succeed, provided two ARM files are fixed (arch/arm/kernel/traps.c and arch/arm/mm/fault.c) - so there may be negative impacts for this on other architectures. Note that x86 does not include asm/irq.h nor linux/hardirq.h in its asm/local.h, so this patch can be viewed as bringing the generic version into line with the x86 version.

Provide some basic advice about when to use BUG()/BUG_ON(): never, unless there's really no better option. This matches my understanding of the standard policy ... which seems not to be written down so far, outside of LKML messages that I haven't bookmarked.

No architectures use CONFIG_OUT_OF_LINE_PFN_TO_PAGE - it can be removed.
