      PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architectures · 27ac792c
      Andrea Righi 提交于
      On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
      boundary. For example:
      
      	u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);
      
      always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.
      
      The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
      example):
      
      #define PAGE_SHIFT      12
      #define PAGE_SIZE       (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
      #define PAGE_MASK       (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
      ...
      #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr)       (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)
      
      The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
      PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
      Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
      typeof(addr) for the mask.
      
      Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
      include/linux/mm.h.

      calibrate_delay() must be __cpuinit · 6c81c32f
      Adrian Bunk 提交于
      calibrate_delay() must be __cpuinit, not __{dev,}init.
      
      I've verified that this is correct for all users.
      
      While doing the latter, I also did the following cleanups:
      - remove pointless additional prototypes in C files
      - ensure all users #include <linux/delay.h>
      
      This fixes the following section mismatches with CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n,
      CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y:
      
      WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1128d): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text.1:calibrate_delay (between 'check_cx686_slop' and 'set_cx86_reorder')
      WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x25102): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text.1:calibrate_delay (between 'smp_callin' and 'cpu_coregroup_map')

      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.

      [XTENSA] Remove non-rt signal handling · 29c4dfd9
      Chris Zankel 提交于
      The non-rt signal handling was never really used, so we don't break
      anything. This patch also cleans up the signal stack-frame to make
      it independent from the processor configuration. It also improves
      the method used for controlling single-stepping. We now save and
      restore the 'icountlevel' register that controls single stepping
      and set or clear the saved state to enable or disable it.
