      Revert "tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes received" · 55db4c64
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit b1c43f82.
      
      It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues.
      
      It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can
      cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41: "tty: fix endless
      work loop when the buffer fills up").
      
      It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf()
      function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code,
      and didn't actually check for the error in the caller.
      
      And it didn't actually work at all.  BenH bisected down odd tty behavior
      to it:
        "It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X
         server for me, possibly related to PTYs.  For example, cat'ing a
         large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a
         loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace
         data in the quoted bits further down).
      
         ...
      
         Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the
         flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because
         the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop
         forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer
         process that could have emptied the PTY."
      
      which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41.
      
      Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

      arch/tile: finish enabling support for TILE-Gx 64-bit chip · 18aecc2b
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      This support was partially present in the existing code (look for
      "__tilegx__" ifdefs) but with this change you can build a working
      kernel using the TILE-Gx toolchain and ARCH=tilegx.
      
      Most of these files are new, generally adding a foo_64.c file
      where previously there was just a foo_32.c file.
      
      The ARCH=tilegx directive redirects to arch/tile, not arch/tilegx,
      using the existing SRCARCH mechanism in the top-level Makefile.
      
      Changes to existing files:
      
      - <asm/bitops.h> and <asm/bitops_32.h> changed to factor the
        include of <asm-generic/bitops/non-atomic.h> in the common header.
      
      - <asm/compat.h> and arch/tile/kernel/compat.c changed to remove
        the "const" markers I had put on compat_sys_execve() when trying
        to match some recent similar changes to the non-compat execve.
        It turns out the compat version wasn't "upgraded" to use const.
      
      - <asm/opcode-tile_64.h> and <asm/opcode_constants_64.h> were
        previously included accidentally, with the 32-bit contents.  Now
        they have the proper 64-bit contents.
      
      Finally, I had to hack the existing hacky drivers/input/input-compat.h
      to add yet another "#ifdef" for INPUT_COMPAT_TEST (same as x86_64).
