      [PATCH] consolidate line discipline number definitions · 4564f9e5
      Tilman Schmidt 提交于
      The line discipline numbers N_* are currently defined for each architecture
      individually, but (except for a seeming mistake) identically, in
      asm/termios.h.  There is no obvious reason why these numbers should be
      architecture specific, nor any apparent relationship with the termios
      structure.  The total number of these, NR_LDISCS, is defined in linux/tty.h
      anyway.  So I propose the following patch which moves the definitions of
      the individual line disciplines to linux/tty.h too.
      
      Three of these numbers (N_MASC, N_PROFIBUS_FDL, and N_SMSBLOCK) are unused
      in the current kernel, but the patch still keeps the complete set in case
      there are plans to use them yet.

      [PATCH] Optimize D-cache alias handling on fork · ec8c0446
      Ralf Baechle 提交于
      Virtually index, physically tagged cache architectures can get away
      without cache flushing when forking.  This patch adds a new cache
      flushing function flush_cache_dup_mm(struct mm_struct *) which for the
      moment I've implemented to do the same thing on all architectures
      except on MIPS where it's a no-op.

      [PATCH] PM: Fix SMP races in the freezer · 8a102eed
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Currently, to tell a task that it should go to the refrigerator, we set the
      PF_FREEZE flag for it and send a fake signal to it.  Unfortunately there
      are two SMP-related problems with this approach.  First, a task running on
      another CPU may be updating its flags while the freezer attempts to set
      PF_FREEZE for it and this may leave the task's flags in an inconsistent
      state.  Second, there is a potential race between freeze_process() and
      refrigerator() in which freeze_process() running on one CPU is reading a
      task's PF_FREEZE flag while refrigerator() running on another CPU has just
      set PF_FROZEN for the same task and attempts to reset PF_FREEZE for it.  If
      the refrigerator wins the race, freeze_process() will state that PF_FREEZE
      hasn't been set for the task and will set it unnecessarily, so the task
      will go to the refrigerator once again after it's been thawed.
      
      To solve first of these problems we need to stop using PF_FREEZE to tell
      tasks that they should go to the refrigerator.  Instead, we can introduce a
      special TIF_*** flag and use it for this purpose, since it is allowed to
      change the other tasks' TIF_*** flags and there are special calls for it.
      
      To avoid the freeze_process()-refrigerator() race we can make
      freeze_process() to always check the task's PF_FROZEN flag after it's read
      its "freeze" flag.  We should also make sure that refrigerator() will
      always reset the task's "freeze" flag after it's set PF_FROZEN for it.

      [PATCH] tty: preparatory structures for termios revamp · be90038a
      Alan Cox 提交于
      In order to sort out our struct termios and add proper speed control we need
      to separate the kernel and user termios structures.  Glibc is fine but the
      other libraries rely on the kernel exported struct termios and we need to
      extend this without breaking the ABI/API
      
      To do so we add a struct ktermios which is the kernel view of a termios
      structure and overlaps the struct termios with extra fields on the end for
      now.  (That limitation will go away in later patches).  Some platforms (eg
      alpha) planned ahead and thus use the same struct for both, others did not.
      
      This just adds the structures but does not use them, it seems a sensible
      splitting point for bisect if there are compile failures (not that I expect
      them)
