      Change table chaining layout · 18dabf47
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Change the page member of the scatterlist structure to be an unsigned
      long, and encode more stuff in the lower bits:
      
      - Bits 0 and 1 zero: this is a normal sg entry. Next sg entry is located
        at sg + 1.
      - Bit 0 set: this is a chain entry, the next real entry is at ->page_link
        with the two low bits masked off.
      - Bit 1 set: this is the final entry in the sg entry. sg_next() will return
        NULL when passed such an entry.
      
      It's thus important that sg table users use the proper accessors to get
      and set the page member.

      move die notifier handling to common code · 1eeb66a1
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code.  Previous
      various architectures had exactly the same code for it.  Note that the new
      code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
      the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
      sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)
      
      arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
      arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
      declared and used at.  avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
      this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

      [PATCH] x86: PARAVIRT: add hooks to intercept mm creation and destruction · d6dd61c8
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Add hooks to allow a paravirt implementation to track the lifetime of
      an mm.  Paravirtualization requires three hooks, but only two are
      needed in common code.  They are:
      
      arch_dup_mmap, which is called when a new mmap is created at fork
      
      arch_exit_mmap, which is called when the last process reference to an
        mm is dropped, which typically happens on exit and exec.
      
      The third hook is activate_mm, which is called from the arch-specific
      activate_mm() macro/function, and so doesn't need stub versions for
      other architectures.  It's called when an mm is first used.

      [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)

      [PATCH] Directed yield: cpu_relax variants for spinlocks and rw-locks · ef6edc97
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      On systems running with virtual cpus there is optimization potential in
      regard to spinlocks and rw-locks.  If the virtual cpu that has taken a lock
      is known to a cpu that wants to acquire the same lock it is beneficial to
      yield the timeslice of the virtual cpu in favour of the cpu that has the
      lock (directed yield).
      
      With CONFIG_PREEMPT="n" this can be implemented by the architecture without
      common code changes.  Powerpc already does this.
      
      With CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" the lock loops are coded with _raw_spin_trylock,
      _raw_read_trylock and _raw_write_trylock in kernel/spinlock.c.  If the lock
      could not be taken cpu_relax is called.  A directed yield is not possible
      because cpu_relax doesn't know anything about the lock.  To be able to
      yield the lock in favour of the current lock holder variants of cpu_relax
      for spinlocks and rw-locks are needed.  The new _raw_spin_relax,
      _raw_read_relax and _raw_write_relax primitives differ from cpu_relax
      insofar that they have an argument: a pointer to the lock structure.

      [PATCH] Standardize pxx_page macros · 46a82b2d
      Dave McCracken 提交于
      One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
      pxx_page macros.  pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
      page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
      have returned the kernel virtual address.  pud_page and pgd_page, on the
      other hand, return the kernel virtual address.
      
      Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
      structures.  There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
      simple to standardize their usage.
      
      Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone
      patch.  Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the
      pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.
