      vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it · 91a27b2a
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
      kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
      however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
      the string.
      
      For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
      amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
      we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
      need to recopy it from userspace.
      
      This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
      a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
      string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
      
      Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
      convenient.

      nohz: Remove tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() / tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu() · 1268fbc7
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of
      tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single
      irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would
      needlessly process any RCU job.
      
      Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
      have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple
      idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.

      nohz: Allow rcu extended quiescent state handling seperately from tick stop · 2bbb6817
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless
      mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always
      true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after
      the tick is stopped.
      
      To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs:
      tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu().
      
      If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between
      tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch
      must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't
      need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit().
      
      Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and
      tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly:
      
      - rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put
      to sleep.
      - rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken
      up.

      nohz: Separate out irq exit and idle loop dyntick logic · 280f0677
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay
      the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two
      places:
      
      - From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode
      - From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick
      idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in
      case the irq changed some internal state that requires this
      action.
      
      There are only few minor differences between both that
      are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle
      cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees
      that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually
      interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended
      quiescent state from idle loop entry only.
      
      Split this function into:
      
      - tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters
      dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU
      extended quiescent state.
      
      - tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode
      when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called).
      
      To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed
      into tick_nohz_idle_exit().
      
      This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need
      for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between
      dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to
      further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle
      loop.

      memblock: Kill memblock_init() · fe091c20
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      memblock_init() initializes arrays for regions and memblock itself;
      however, all these can be done with struct initializers and
      memblock_init() can be removed.  This patch kills memblock_init() and
      initializes memblock with struct initializer.
      
      The only difference is that the first dummy entries don't have .nid
      set to MAX_NUMNODES initially.  This doesn't cause any behavior
      difference.

      openrisc: don't use pt_regs in struct sigcontext · d7cb6667
      Jonas Bonn 提交于
      As it was decided not to export struct pt_regs to userspace, struct
      sigcontext shouldn't be using it either.  The pt_regs struct for OpenRISC
      is kernel internal and the layout of the registers may change in the
      future.  The struct user_regs_struct is what is guaranteed to remain
      stable, so struct sigcontext may use that instead.
      
      This patch removes the usage of struct pt_regs in struct sigcontext and
      makes according changes in signal.c to get the register layout right.
      
      The usp field is removed from the sigcontext structure as this information
      is already contained in the user_regs_struct.
