      [NET]: Add netlink connector. · 7672d0b5
      Evgeniy Polyakov 提交于
      Kernel connector - new userspace <-> kernel space easy to use
      communication module which implements easy to use bidirectional
      message bus using netlink as it's backend.  Connector was created to
      eliminate complex skb handling both in send and receive message bus
      direction.
      
      Connector driver adds possibility to connect various agents using as
      one of it's backends netlink based network.  One must register
      callback and identifier. When driver receives special netlink message
      with appropriate identifier, appropriate callback will be called.
      
      From the userspace point of view it's quite straightforward:
      
      	socket();
      	bind();
      	send();
      	recv();
      
      But if kernelspace want to use full power of such connections, driver
      writer must create special sockets, must know about struct sk_buff
      handling...  Connector allows any kernelspace agents to use netlink
      based networking for inter-process communication in a significantly
      easier way:
      
      int cn_add_callback(struct cb_id *id, char *name, void (*callback) (void *));
      void cn_netlink_send(struct cn_msg *msg, u32 __groups, int gfp_mask);
      
      struct cb_id
      {
      	__u32			idx;
      	__u32			val;
      };
      
      idx and val are unique identifiers which must be registered in
      connector.h for in-kernel usage.  void (*callback) (void *) - is a
      callback function which will be called when message with above idx.val
      will be received by connector core.
      
      Using connector completely hides low-level transport layer from it's
      users.
      
      Connector uses new netlink ability to have many groups in one socket.

      [PATCH] MCA/INIT: use per cpu stacks · 7f613c7d
      Keith Owens 提交于
      The bulk of the change.  Use per cpu MCA/INIT stacks.  Change the SAL
      to OS state (sos) to be per process.  Do all the assembler work on the
      MCA/INIT stacks, leaving the original stack alone.  Pass per cpu state
      data to the C handlers for MCA and INIT, which also means changing the
      mca_drv interfaces slightly.  Lots of verification on whether the
      original stack is usable before converting it to a sleeping process.
