      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      [PATCH] protect remove_proc_entry · 64a07bd8
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      It has been discovered that the remove_proc_entry has a race in the removing
      of entries in the proc file system that are siblings.  There's no protection
      around the traversing and removing of elements that belong in the same
      subdirectory.
      
      This subdirectory list is protected in other areas by the BKL.  So the BKL was
      at first used to protect this area too, but unfortunately, remove_proc_entry
      may be called with spinlocks held.  The BKL may schedule, so this was not a
      solution.
      
      The final solution was to add a new global spin lock to protect this list,
      called proc_subdir_lock.  This lock now protects the list in
      remove_proc_entry, and I also went around looking for other areas that this
      list is modified and added this protection there too.  Care must be taken
      since these locations call several functions that may also schedule.
      
      Since I don't see any location that these functions that modify the
      subdirectory list are called by interrupts, the irqsave/restore versions of
      the spin lock was _not_ used.

      [PATCH] ppc32/ppc64: cleanup /proc/device-tree · 5f64f739
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware
      device-tree on ppc and ppc64.  It does the following things:
      
       - Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may
         exist with the same name as a child node of the parent.  We now
         simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in
         /proc with random result...
      
       - Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit
         address is 0.  This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was
         buggy and didn't always work anyway.
      
       - Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a
         node.  These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of
         the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching
         dentry and inode cache bloat.
      
      This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more
      accurate view of the tree presented to userland.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
