      extable, core_kernel_data(): Make sure all archs define _sdata · a2d063ac
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      A new utility function (core_kernel_data()) is used to determine if a
      passed in address is part of core kernel data or not. It may or may not
      return true for RO data, but this utility must work for RW data.
      
      Thus both _sdata and _edata must be defined and continuous,
      without .init sections that may later be freed and replaced by
      volatile memory (memory that can be freed).
      
      This utility function is used to determine if data is safe from
      ever being freed. Thus it should return true for all RW global
      data that is not in a module or has been allocated, or false
      otherwise.
      
      Also change core_kernel_data() back to the more precise _sdata condition
      and document the function.

      percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE · 0415b00d
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
      percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
      addresses should be aligned accordingly.  The calculation of the
      former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
      image.
      
      The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
      define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
      Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
      percpu memory alignment.
      
      This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
      PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE.  While at it,
      add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
      reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
      in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
      there.
      
      For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area.  As the area
      is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.
      
      This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot
      failure on mn10300.

      clean statfs-like syscalls up · c8b91acc
      Al Viro 提交于
      New helpers: user_statfs() and fd_statfs(), taking userland pathname and
      descriptor resp. and filling struct kstatfs.  Syscalls of statfs family
      (native, compat and foreign - osf and hpux on alpha and parisc resp.)
      switched to those.  Removes some boilerplate code, simplifies cleanup
      on errors...

      alpha: Change do_timer() to xtime_update() · 1340f3e0
      Torben Hohn 提交于
      xtime_update() takes the xtime_lock itself.
      
      timer_interrupt() is only called on the boot cpu. See do_entInt(). So
      "state" in timer_interrupt does not require protection by xtime_lock.

      alpha: use L1_CACHE_BYTES for cacheline size in the linker script · 0f06c063
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently the linker script uses 64 for cacheline size which isn't
      optimal for all cases.  Include asm/cache.h and use L1_CACHE_BYTES
      instead as suggested by Sam Ravnborg.

      percpu: align percpu readmostly subsection to cacheline · 19df0c2f
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently percpu readmostly subsection may share cachelines with other
      percpu subsections which may result in unnecessary cacheline bounce
      and performance degradation.
      
      This patch adds @cacheline parameter to PERCPU() and PERCPU_VADDR()
      linker macros, makes each arch linker scripts specify its cacheline
      size and use it to align percpu subsections.
      
      This is based on Shaohua's x86 only patch.
