      vfs: Implement proper O_SYNC semantics · 6b2f3d1f
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until
      Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems,
      since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the
      great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give
      O_DSYNC" comment.  This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC
      semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics.  After Jan's O_SYNC
      patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly
      simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to
      vfs_fsync_range and when not.
      
      This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's
      numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC
      flag.  To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to
      both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make
      sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers.
      
      This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can
      just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only
      places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition.  Drivers and
      network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the
      full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set.  The few places setting O_SYNC for
      lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe.
      
      We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path
      to make sure we always get these sane options.
      
      Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a
      O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op.  We try to repair it by using it for
      the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional
      O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

      block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages · 2d4dc890
      Ilya Loginov 提交于
      Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
      this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
      the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.
      
      The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
      pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
      flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
      flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
      equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.
      
      See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
      on LKML for more information.

      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.

      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. )

      kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel script · caa27b66
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
      installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
      to select a custom installkernel script when running make:
      
          make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install
      
      With this patch we are now more consistent across
      different architectures - they did not all support use
      of CROSS_COMPILE.
      
      The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
      to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
      just because we change toolchain.
      
      The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
      that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
      longer be installable.
      [Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint]
      
      This patch undos what Ian did in commit:
      
        0f8e2d62
        ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")
      
      The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes
      looks obvious.
