      WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data · 65f27f38
      David Howells 提交于
      Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
      The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
      
      For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
      pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
      structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
      
      To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
      work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
      
      Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
      scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
      work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
      that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
      else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
      problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
      
      However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
      function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
      with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
      work_struct by calling work_release().
      
      In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
      initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

      WorkStruct: Separate delayable and non-delayable events. · 52bad64d
      David Howells 提交于
      Separate delayable work items from non-delayable work items be splitting them
      into a separate structure (delayed_work), which incorporates a work_struct and
      the timer_list removed from work_struct.
      
      The work_struct struct is huge, and this limits it's usefulness.  On a 64-bit
      architecture it's nearly 100 bytes in size.  This reduces that by half for the
      non-delayable type of event.

      [PATCH] x86: Refactor thermal throttle processing · 15d5f839
      Dmitriy Zavin 提交于
      Refactor the event processing (syslog messaging and rate limiting)
      into separate file therm_throt.c. This allows consistent reporting
      of CPU thermal throttle events.
      
      After ACK'ing the interrupt, if the event is current, the user
      (p4.c/mce_intel.c) calls therm_throt_process to log (and rate limit)
      the event. If that function returns 1, the user has the option to log
      things further (such as to mce_log in x86_64).

      [PATCH] Remove safe_smp_processor_id() · 151f8cc1
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      And replace all users with ordinary smp_processor_id.  The function
      was originally added to get some basic oops information out even
      if the GS register was corrupted. However that didn't
      work for some anymore because printk is needed to print the oops
      and it uses smp_processor_id() already. Also GS register corruptions
      are not particularly common anymore.
      
      This also helps the Xen port which would otherwise need to
      do this in a special way because it can't access the local APIC.

      [PATCH] Don't pass boot parameters to argv_init[] · 9b41046c
      OGAWA Hirofumi 提交于
      The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and
      parse_args(,unknown_bootoption).
      
      And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup().
      
      	start_kernel()
      		-> parse_args()
      			-> unknown_bootoption()
      				-> obsolete_checksetup()
      
      If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in
      obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was
      handled.
      
      If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other
      ->setup_func().  If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0,
      a parameter is seted to argv_init[].
      
      Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app.
      If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit.
      
      This patch fixes a wrong usage of it, however fixes obvious one only.

      [PATCH] x86_64: {set,clear,test}_bit() related cleanup and pci_mmcfg_init() fix · 3d1712c9
      Akinobu Mita 提交于
      While working on these patch set, I found several possible cleanup on x86-64
      and ia64.
      
      akpm: I stole this from Andi's queue.
      
      Not only does it clean up bitops.  It also unrelatedly changes the prototype
      of pci_mmcfg_init() and removes its arch_initcall().  It seems that the wrong
      two patches got joined together, but this is the one which has been tested.
      
      This patch fixes the current x86_64 build error (the pci_mmcfg_init()
      declaration in arch/i386/pci/pci.h disagrees with the definition in
      arch/x86_64/pci/mmconfig.c)
      
      This also means that x86_64's pci_mmcfg_init() gets called in the same (new)
      manner as x86's: from arch/i386/pci/init.c:pci_access_init(), rather than via
      initcall.
      
      The bitops cleanups came along for free.
      
      All this worked OK in -mm testing (since 2.6.16-rc4-mm1) because x86_64 was
      tested with both patches applied.

      The logging for boot errors was turned off because it was broken

      [PATCH] RCU: clean up a few remaining synchronize_kernel() calls · b2b18660
      Paul E. McKenney 提交于
      2.6.12-rc6-mm1 has a few remaining synchronize_kernel()s, some (but not
      all) in comments.  This patch changes these synchronize_kernel() calls (and
      comments) to synchronize_rcu() or synchronize_sched() as follows:
      
      - arch/x86_64/kernel/mce.c mce_read(): change to synchronize_sched() to
        handle races with machine-check exceptions (synchronize_rcu() would not cut
        it given RCU implementations intended for hardcore realtime use.
      
      - drivers/input/serio/i8042.c i8042_stop(): change to synchronize_sched() to
        handle races with i8042_interrupt() interrupt handler.  Again,
        synchronize_rcu() would not cut it given RCU implementations intended for
        hardcore realtime use.
      
      - include/*/kdebug.h comments: change to synchronize_sched() to handle races
        with NMIs.  As before, synchronize_rcu() would not cut it...
      
      - include/linux/list.h comment: change to synchronize_rcu(), since this
        comment is for list_del_rcu().
      
      - security/keys/key.c unregister_key_type(): change to synchronize_rcu(),
        since this is interacting with RCU read side.
      
      - security/keys/process_keys.c install_session_keyring(): change to
        synchronize_rcu(), since this is interacting with RCU read side.

      [PATCH] x86_64: Change init sections for CPU hotplug support · e6982c67
      Ashok Raj 提交于
      This patch adds __cpuinit and __cpuinitdata sections that need to exist past
      boot to support cpu hotplug.
      
      Caveat: This is done *only* for EM64T CPU Hotplug support, on request from
      Andi Kleen.  Much of the generic hotplug code in kernel, and none of the other
      archs that support CPU hotplug today, i386, ia64, ppc64, s390 and parisc dont
      mark sections with __cpuinit, but only mark them as __devinit, and
      __devinitdata.
      
      If someone is motivated to change generic code, we need to make sure all
      existing hotplug code does not break, on other arch's that dont use __cpuinit,
      and __cpudevinit.
