      sysctl arm: Remove binary sysctl support · 50469619
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Now that sys_sysctl is a generic wrapper around /proc/sys  .ctl_name
      and .strategy members of sysctl tables are dead code.  Remove them.
      
      Remove a smattering of ctl_names used in sysctl paths,
      and kill the ctl_names in the recently added mach-bcmring.
      
      mach-bcmring never should have had sysctl entries with
      .ctl_name set.  The binary sysctl interface has been frozen
      for a long time before that code was merged, to prevent
      probmes with conflicts and lack of testing.   The sysctl_check
      code would have caught this if anyone had ever tested it that way.
      So I have simply dropped the binary sysctl support instead of
      adding another compat entry into sysctl_binary.c.  Going through
      /proc/sys/reboot/warm will still work.

      net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscall · a2e27255
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
      net stack entry/exit operations.
      
      Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
      optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.
      
      This takes into account comments made by:
      
      . Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
        sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.
      
      . Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
        works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.
      
        If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
        will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
        one) it has received so far.
      
      . Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
        datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
        the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
        in the next call.
      
      This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
      where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
      every underlying recvmsg call.

      ARM: Fix __cpuexit section mismatch warnings · 90140c30
      Russell King 提交于
      Fix:
      
      WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x247c): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_idle() to the function .cpuexit.text:cpu_die()
      The function cpu_idle() references a function in an exit section.
      Often the function cpu_die() has valid usage outside the exit section
      and the fix is to remove the __cpuexit annotation of cpu_die.
      
      WARNING: vmlinux.o(.cpuexit.text+0x3c): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_die() to the function .cpuinit.text:secondary_start_kernel()
      The function __cpuexit cpu_die() references
      a function __cpuinit secondary_start_kernel().
      This is often seen when error handling in the exit function
      uses functionality in the init path.
      The fix is often to remove the __cpuinit annotation of
      secondary_start_kernel() so it may be used outside an init section.
      
      Sam says:
      > The annotation of cpu_die() is wrong.
      > To be annotated __cpuexit the function shall:
      > - be used in exit context and only in exit context with HOTPLUG_CPU=n
      > - be used outside exit context with HOTPLUG_CPU=y
      
      So, this also means __cpu_disable(), __cpu_die() and twd_timer_stop() are
      also wrong.  However, removing __cpuexit from cpu_die() creates:
      
      WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x6834): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_die() to the function .cpuinit.text:secondary_start_kernel()
      The function cpu_die() references
      the function __cpuinit secondary_start_kernel().
      This is often because cpu_die lacks a __cpuinit
      annotation or the annotation of secondary_start_kernel is wrong.
      
      so fix this using __ref.

      We suffer an unfortunate combination of "features" which makes highmem

      - we need kmap_high_get() support for DMA cache coherence
      - this requires kmap_high() to take a spinlock with IRQs disabled
      - kmap_high() occasionally calls flush_all_zero_pkmaps() to clear
        out old mappings
      - flush_all_zero_pkmaps() calls flush_tlb_kernel_range(), which
        on s/w IPI'd systems eventually calls smp_call_function_many()

      ARM: 5715/1: Make kprobes unregistration SMP safe · 2003b7af
      Frederic Riss 提交于
      ARM kprobes use an illegal instruction to trigger kprobes. In the
      current implementation, there's a race between the unregistration of a
      kprobe and the illegal instruction exception handler if they run at the
      same time on different cores.
      
      When reading the value of the undefined instruction, the exception
      handler might get the original legal instruction as just patched
      concurrently by arch_disarm_kprobe(). When this happen the kprobe
      handler won't run, and thus the exception handler will oops because it
      believe it just hit an undefined instruction in kernel space.
      
      The following patch synchronizes the code patching in the kprobes
      unregistration using stop_machine and thus avoids the above race.

      perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events · cdd6c482
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
      
      In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
      initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
      becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
      monitoring, analysis facility.
      
      Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
      'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
      code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
      less appropriate.
      
      All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
      events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
      and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
      
      The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
      it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
      
      Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
      suggested a rename.
      
      User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
      should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
      keep the size down.)
      
      This patch has been generated via the following script:
      
        FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
          -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
          -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
          -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
          -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
          $FILES
      
        for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
          M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
          mv $N $M
        done
      
        FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
          -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
          -e 's/counter/event/g' \
          -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
          $FILES
      
      ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
      used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
      a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
      change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
      is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
      
      Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
      stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
      
      ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
        with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
        over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
        in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
        better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
        instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

      arm, cris, mips, sparc, powerpc, um, xtensa: fix build with bash 4.0 · 51b563fc
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported:
      
          Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
          This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
          This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
          build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
          or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)
      
      Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
      pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
      arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.
      
      This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
      it is used.
      
      Notes for the different architectures touched:
      
      arm - we use an already exported symbol
      cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
             [Not build tested]
      mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
             Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
             the linker script.
             [Not build tested]
      powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
                [not build tested]
      sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
      um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
      xtensa - added options to CPP invocation
               [not build tested]
