      As the procfs export of ATAGS is not meant as a stable, general purpose
      ABI it shouldn't be an independent, general configuration option.

      [ARM] 4736/1: Export atags to userspace and allow kexec to use customised atags · 4cd9d6f7
      Richard Purdie 提交于
      Currently, the atags used by kexec are fixed to the ones originally used
      to boot the kernel. This is less than ideal as changing the commandline,
      initrd and other options would be a useful feature.
      
      This patch exports the atags used for the current kernel to userspace
      through an "atags" file in procfs. The presence of the file is
      controlled by its own Kconfig option and cleans up several ifdef blocks
      into a separate file. The tags for the new kernel are assumed to be at
      a fixed location before the kernel image itself. The location of the
      tags used to boot the original kernel is unimportant and no longer
      saved.

      After seeing the filename I'd have expected something about the

      configuration and building trivialities noone would search at this

      Linus:
      
      On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have
      internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like
      
              depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32
      
      really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation.
      
      It would be much better to do
      
              depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
      
      in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just
      have a
      
              bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
                      default y
      
      in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical,
      and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no
      clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support
      which interface...
      
      Changelog:
      
      Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see
      it, I realize that I should have told you to just use
      
              config KPROBES_SUPPORT
                      def_bool y
      
      instead, which is a bit denser.
      
      We seem to use both kinds of syntax for these things, but this is really
      what "def_bool" is there for...
      
      - Use HAVE_KPROBES
      - Use a select
      
      - Yet another update :
      Moving to HAVE_* now.
      
      - Update ARM for kprobes support.

      Fix ARM to play nicely with generic Instrumentation menu · c0ffa3a9
      Mathieu Desnoyers 提交于
      The conflicting commit for
      move-kconfiginstrumentation-to-arch-kconfig-and-init-kconfig.patch
      is the ARM fix from Linus :
      
      commit 38ad9aeb
      
      He just seemed to agree that my approach (just putting the missing ARM
      config options in arch/arm/Kconfig) works too. The main advantage it has
      is that it is smaller, does not need a cleanup in the future and does
      not break the following patches unnecessarily.
      
      It's just been discussed here
      
      http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/15/267
      
      However, Linus might prefer to stay with his own patch and I would
      totally understand it that late in the release cycle. Therefore I submit
      this for the next release cycle.

      spinlock: lockbreak cleanup · 95c354fe
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty.
      Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to
      a potentially less optimal trylock.
      
      Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a
      __raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether
      there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
      not set.
      
      Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
      decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks
      do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up
      with that break_lock then?).
