      SL*B: drop kmem cache argument from constructor · 51cc5068
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      Kmem cache passed to constructor is only needed for constructors that are
      themselves multiplexeres.  Nobody uses this "feature", nor does anybody uses
      passed kmem cache in non-trivial way, so pass only pointer to object.
      
      Non-trivial places are:
      	arch/powerpc/mm/init_64.c
      	arch/powerpc/mm/hugetlbpage.c
      
      This is flag day, yes.

      dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error() · 8d8bb39b
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
      architecture does:
      
      This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
      are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).
      
      I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
      KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
      difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread).  So I
      CC'ed this to KVM camp.  Comments are appreciated.
      
      A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added.  If the
      pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it.  If it's
      NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.
      
      If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
      a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
      with hot plugging).  It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
      dma_mapping_ops per device.
      
      The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
      device unlike other DMA operations.  So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
      device.  Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
      so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
      dma_mapping_error functions.
      
      The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error.  The patch
      is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
      all the architecture.
      
      This patch:
      
      dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
      operations.  So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.
      
      Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
      IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function.  x86 IOMMUs use device
      argument.

      gpiolib: allow user-selection · 7444a72e
      Michael Buesch 提交于
      This patch adds functionality to the gpio-lib subsystem to make it
      possible to enable the gpio-lib code even if the architecture code didn't
      request to get it built in.
      
      The archtitecture code does still need to implement the gpiolib accessor
      functions in its asm/gpio.h file.  This patch adds the implementations for
      x86 and PPC.
      
      With these changes it is possible to run generic GPIO expansion cards on
      every architecture that implements the trivial wrapper functions.  Support
      for more architectures can easily be added.

      nohz: prevent tick stop outside of the idle loop · b8f8c3cf
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
      problem in the NOHZ code:
      
      	scheduler switch to idle task
      	enable interrupts
      
      Window starts here
      
      	----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
      	      	irq_exit() stops the tick
      
      	----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)
      
      	return from schedule()
      	
      	cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();
      
      Window ends here
      
      The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
      first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
      rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
      disabled.
      
      The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
      NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
      hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.
      
      Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
      that we can not run into such a situation ever again.
      
      cpu_idle()
      {
      	preempt_disable();
      
      	while(1) {
      		 tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
      		 			          are in the idle loop
      
      		 while (!need_resched())
      		       halt();
      
      		 tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
      		 preempt_enable_no_resched();
      		 schedule();
      		 preempt_disable();
      	}
      }
      
      In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ... 
      
      /me grabs a large brown paperbag.
