      Detach sched.h from mm.h · e8edc6e0
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
      function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
      mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
      
      This patch
      a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
      b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
      c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
      d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
      e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
         getting them indirectly
      
      Net result is:
      a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
         they don't need sched.h
      b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
         on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
         after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).
      
      Cross-compile tested on
      
      	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
      	alpha alpha-up
      	arm

      Revert "ipmi: add new IPMI nmi watchdog handling" · faa8b6c3
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit f64da958.
      
      Andi Kleen is unhappy with the changes, and they really do not seem
      worth it.  IPMI could use DIE_NMI_IPI instead of the new callback, even
      though that ends up having its own set of problems too, mainly because
      the IPMI code cannot really know the NMI was from IPMI or not.
      
      Manually fix up conflicts in arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c and
      drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_watchdog.c.

      rename thread_info to stack · f7e4217b
      Roman Zippel 提交于
      This finally renames the thread_info field in task structure to stack, so that
      the assumptions about this field are gone and archs have more freedom about
      placing the thread_info structure.
      
      Nonbroken archs which have a proper thread pointer can do the access to both
      current thread and task structure via a single pointer.
      
      It'll allow for a few more cleanups of the fork code, from which e.g.  ia64
      could benefit.

      Use the APIC to determine the hardware processor id - x86_64 · dd988528
      Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao 提交于
      hard_smp_processor_id used to be just a macro that hard-coded
      hard_smp_processor_id to 0 in the non SMP case.  When booting non SMP kernels
      on hardware where the boot ioapic id is not 0 this turns out to be a problem.
      This is happens frequently in the case of kdump and once in a great while in
      the case of real hardware.
      
      Use the APIC to determine the hardware processor id in both UP and SMP kernels
      to fix this issue.
      
      Notice that hard_smp_processor_id is only used by SMP code or by code that
      works with apics so we do not need to handle the case when apics are not
      present and hard_smp_processor_id should never be called there.

      Remove hardcoding of hard_smp_processor_id on UP systems · 2f4dfe20
      Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao 提交于
      With the advent of kdump, the assumption that the boot CPU when booting an UP
      kernel is always the CPU with a particular hardware ID (often 0) (usually
      referred to as BSP on some architectures) is not valid anymore.  The reason
      being that the dump capture kernel boots on the crashed CPU (the CPU that
      invoked crash_kexec), which may be or may not be that particular CPU.
      
      Move definition of hard_smp_processor_id for the UP case to
      architecture-specific code ("asm/smp.h") where it belongs, so that each
      architecture can provide its own implementation.

      x86, serial: convert legacy COM ports to platform devices · 7e92b4fc
      Bjorn Helgaas 提交于
      Make x86 COM ports into platform devices and don't probe for them
      if we have PNP.
      
      This prevents double discovery, where a device was found both by
      the legacy probe and by 8250_pnp, e.g.,
      
          serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
          00:02: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
      
      This also means IRDA devices without a UART PNP ID will no longer be
      claimed by the serial driver, which might require changes in IRDA
      drivers and administration.
      
      In addition to this patch, you may need to configure a setserial init
      script, e.g., /etc/init.d/setserial, so it doesn't poke legacy UART
      stuff back in.  On Debian, "dpkg-reconfigure setserial" with the "kernel"
      option does this.
      
      To force the old legacy probe behavior even when we have PNPBIOS or
      ACPI, load the new legacy_serial module (or build 8250 static) with
      the "legacy_serial.force" option.

      x86: create asm/cmpxchg.h · a436ed9c
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      i386:
      
        Rearrange the cmpxchg code to allow atomic.h to get it without needing to
        include system.h.  This kills warnings in the UML build from atomic.h about
        implicit declarations of cmpxchg symbols.  The i386 build presumably isn't
        seeing this because a separate inclusion of system.h is covering it over.
      
        The cmpxchg stuff is moved to asm-i386/cmpxchg.h, with an include left in
        system.h for the benefit of generic code which expects cmpxchg there.
      
        Meanwhile, atomic.h includes cmpxchg.h.
      
        This causes no noticable damage to the i386 build.
      
      x86_64:
      
        Move cmpxchg into its own header.  atomic.h already included system.h, so
        this is changed to include cmpxchg.h.
      
        This is purely cleanup - it's not fixing any warnings - so if the x86_64
        system.h isn't considered as cleanup-worthy as i386, then this can be
        dropped.
      
        It causes no noticable damage to the x86_64 build.
      
      uml:
      
        The i386 and x86_64 cmpxchg patches require an asm-um/cmpxchg.h for the
        UML build.

      Mathieu Desnoyers 提交于
      atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency.
      I agree (with Andi Kleen) this typeof is not needed and more error
      prone. All the original atomic.h code that uses cmpxchg (which includes
      the atomic_add_unless) uses defines instead of inline functions,
      probably to circumvent a circular dependency between system.h and
      atomic.h on powerpc (which my patch addresses). Therefore, it makes
      sense to use inline functions that will provide type checking.
      
      atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency.
      Digging into the FRV architecture shows me that it is also affected by
      such a circular dependency. Here is the diff applying this against the
      rest of my atomic.h patches.
      
      It applies over the atomic.h standardization patches.

      utimensat implementation · 1c710c89
      Ulrich Drepper 提交于
      Implement utimensat(2) which is an extension to futimesat(2) in that it
      
      a) supports nano-second resolution for the timestamps
      b) allows to selectively ignore the atime/mtime value
      c) allows to selectively use the current time for either atime or mtime
      d) supports changing the atime/mtime of a symlink itself along the lines
         of the BSD lutimes(3) functions
      
      For this change the internally used do_utimes() functions was changed to
      accept a timespec time value and an additional flags parameter.
      
      Additionally the sys_utime function was changed to match compat_sys_utime
      which already use do_utimes instead of duplicating the work.
      
      Also, the completely missing futimensat() functionality is added.  We have
      such a function in glibc but we have to resort to using /proc/self/fd/* which
      not everybody likes (chroot etc).

      Clean up mostly unused IOSPACE macros · 0bb5e19d
      David Gibson 提交于
      Most architectures defined three macros, MK_IOSPACE_PFN(), GET_IOSPACE()
      and GET_PFN() in pgtable.h.  However, the only callers of any of these
      macros are in Sparc specific code, either in arch/sparc, arch/sparc64 or
      drivers/sbus.
      
      This patch removes the redundant macros from all architectures except
      sparc and sparc64.

      kdump/kexec: calculate note size at compile time · 6672f76a
      Simon Horman 提交于
      Currently the size of the per-cpu region reserved to save crash notes is
      set by the per-architecture value MAX_NOTE_BYTES.  Which in turn is
      currently set to 1024 on all supported architectures.
      
      While testing ia64 I recently discovered that this value is in fact too
      small.  The particular setup I was using actually needs 1172 bytes.  This
      lead to very tedious failure mode where the tail of one elf note would
      overwrite the head of another if they ended up being alocated sequentially
      by kmalloc, which was often the case.
      
      It seems to me that a far better approach is to caclculate the size that
      the area needs to be.  This patch does just that.
      
      If a simpler stop-gap patch for ia64 to be squeezed into 2.6.21(.X) is
      needed then this should be as easy as making MAX_NOTE_BYTES larger in
      arch/asm-ia64/kexec.h.  Perhaps 2048 would be a good choice.  However, I
      think that the approach in this patch is a much more robust idea.

      move die notifier handling to common code · 1eeb66a1
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code.  Previous
      various architectures had exactly the same code for it.  Note that the new
      code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
      the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
      sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)
      
      arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
      arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
      declared and used at.  avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
      this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

      NMI.  This add config options to know if there is the ability to receive NMIs
      and if it has an NMI post processing call.  Then it modifies the IPMI watchdog
      to take advantage of this so that it can know if an NMI comes in.

      Revert "[PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separation" · e3ebadd9
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This was broken.  It adds complexity, for no good reason.  Rather than
      separate __pa() and __pa_symbol(), we should deprecate __pa_symbol(),
      and preferably __pa() too - and just use "virt_to_phys()" instead, which
      is more readable and has nicer semantics.
      
      However, right now, just undo the separation, and make __pa_symbol() be
      the exact same as __pa().  That fixes the bugs this patch introduced,
      and we can do the fairly obvious cleanups later.
      
      Do the new __phys_addr() function (which is now the actual workhorse for
      the unified __pa()/__pa_symbol()) as a real external function, that way
      all the potential issues with compile/link-time optimizations of
      constant symbol addresses go away, and we can also, if we choose to, add
      more sanity-checking of the argument.
