      kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add additional options to CC · a0f97e06
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      The variable CFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by
      kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour.
      On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to
      pass in additional flags to gcc.
      
      This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the
      tree and enabling one to use:
      make CFLAGS=...
      to specify additional gcc commandline options.
      
      One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other
      use cases has been requested too.
      
      Patch was tested on following architectures:
      alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k
      
      Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check
      that nothing got rebuild.

      define new percpu interface for shared data · 5fb7dc37
      Fenghua Yu 提交于
      per cpu data section contains two types of data.  One set which is
      exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
      but also shared by remote cpus.  In the current kernel, these two sets are
      not clearely separated out.  This can potentially cause the same data
      cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
      unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.
      
      One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
      cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end.  Because of the padding at
      both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
      interface to achieve this is not clean.
      
      This patch:
      
      Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
      as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
      elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
      only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

      This patch completes Linus's wish that the fault return codes be made into
      bit flags, which I agree makes everything nicer.  This requires requires
      all handle_mm_fault callers to be modified (possibly the modifications
      should go further and do things like fault accounting in handle_mm_fault --
      however that would be for another patch).

      [PATCH] Change cpu_up and co from __devinit to __cpuinit · b282b6f8
      Gautham R Shenoy 提交于
      Compiling the kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG = y and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU = n
      with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE = y generates the following modpost warnings
      
      WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
      .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141b7d) and 'cpu_up'
      WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
      .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141b9c) and 'cpu_up'
      WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__cpu_up
      from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141bd8) and 'cpu_up'
      WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
      .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c05) and 'cpu_up'
      WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
      .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c26) and 'cpu_up'
      WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
      .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c37) and 'cpu_up'
      
      This is because cpu_up, _cpu_up and __cpu_up (in some architectures) are
      defined as __devinit
      AND
      __cpu_up calls some __cpuinit functions.
      
      Since __cpuinit would map to __init with this kind of a configuration,
      we get a .text refering .init.data warning.
      
      This patch solves the problem by converting all of __cpu_up, _cpu_up
      and cpu_up from __devinit to __cpuinit. The approach is justified since
      the callers of cpu_up are either dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or
      are of __init type.
      
      Thus when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, all these cpu up functions would land up
      in .text section, and when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, all these functions would
      land up in .init section.
      
      Tested on a i386 SMP machine running linux-2.6.20-rc3-mm1.

      [PATCH] mm: arch do_page_fault() vs in_atomic() · 6edaf68a
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      In light of the recent pagefault and filemap_copy_from_user work I've gone
      through all the arch pagefault handlers to make sure the inc_preempt_count()
      'feature' works as expected.
      
      Several sections of code (including the new filemap_copy_from_user) rely on
      the fact that faults do not take locks under increased preempt count.
