      [PATCH] mm: arches skip ptlock · b462705a
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Convert those few architectures which are calling pud_alloc, pmd_alloc,
      pte_alloc_map on a user mm, not to take the page_table_lock first, nor drop it
      after.  Each of these can continue to use pte_alloc_map, no need to change
      over to pte_alloc_map_lock, they're neither racy nor swappable.
      
      In the sparc64 io_remap_pfn_range, flush_tlb_range then falls outside of the
      page_table_lock: that's okay, on sparc64 it's like flush_tlb_mm, and that has
      always been called from outside of page_table_lock in dup_mmap.

      [PATCH] core remove PageReserved · b5810039
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED
      handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality.
      
      PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page.
      
      All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged
      in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount
      based freeing of Reserved pages.
      
      MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being
      deprecated.  We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be
      reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept).
      
      Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all
      arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can
      be trivially removed.
      
      Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to
      determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not.  This still
      needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work).
      
      A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and
      thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss).  These writes to the struct
      page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems.  There are a
      number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue.

      [PATCH] spinlock consolidation · fb1c8f93
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
      de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code.  It does the following
      things:
      
       - consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code
      
       - simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files
      
       - encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
         features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.
      
       - cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.
      
      Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
      located in lib/spinlock_debug.c.  (previously we had one SMP debugging
      variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)
      
      Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
      write-owners.  There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
      All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
      spin/rwlock lockups.
      
      The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
      subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
      lives in the generic headers:
      
       include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h       |   16
       include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h     |   16
      
      I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
      making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:
      
         SMP                         |  UP
         ----------------------------|-----------------------------------
         asm/spinlock_types_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_types_up.h
         linux/spinlock_types.h      |  linux/spinlock_types.h
         asm/spinlock_smp.h          |  linux/spinlock_up.h
         linux/spinlock_api_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_api_up.h
         linux/spinlock.h            |  linux/spinlock.h
      
      /*
       * here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files:
       *
       * on SMP builds:
       *

       *
       *   (also included on UP-debug builds:)
       *
       *  linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:
       *                        contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs.
       *

       *                        contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type.
       *                        (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds)
       *
       *  linux/spinlock_types.h:
       *                        defines the generic type and initializers
       *
       *  linux/spinlock_up.h:
       *                        contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP
       *                        builds. (which are NOPs on non-debug, non-preempt
       *                        builds)

        Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU).
        Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested).  I did not try to build
        non-SMP kernels.  That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary.
      
        I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t.  Doing so avoids
        some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files.  Those particular locks
        are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code.  I do NOT
        expect any new issues to arise with them.
      
       If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will
        need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops
        that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW
        (load and clear word).

      [PATCH] Kconfig fix (BLK_DEV_FD dependencies) · a08b6b79
      viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk 提交于
      Sanitized and fixed floppy dependencies: split the messy dependencies for
      BLK_DEV_FD by introducing a new symbol (ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC), making
      BLK_DEV_FD depend on that one and taking declarations of ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC
      to arch/*/Kconfig.  While we are at it, fixed several obvious cases when
      BLK_DEV_FD should have been excluded (architectures lacking asm/floppy.h
      are *not* going to have floppy.c compile, let alone work).
      
      If you can come up with better name for that ("this architecture might
      have working PC-compatible floppy disk controller"), you are more than
      welcome - just s/ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC/your_prefered_name/g in the patch

      [PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes. · 69be8f18
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
      not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it.  I've written a
      program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
      several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
      confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.
      
      The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:
      
      1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.
      
      2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
      still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
      NetBSD 2.0 *).
      
      The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:
      
      1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
      sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).
      
      2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
      handled is not blocked.
      
      The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
      the way most Unix boxes work.
      
      Unix boxes that were tested:  DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
      3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.
      
      * NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
      main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
      Linux.  So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
      behaves differently here with #2.

      [PATCH] sparc: Fix PTRACE_CONT bogosity · fb65b961
      David S. Miller 提交于
      SunOS aparently had this weird PTRACE_CONT semantic which
      we copied.  If the addr argument is something other than
      1, it sets the process program counter to whatever that
      value is.
      
      This is different from every other Linux architecture, which
      don't do anything with the addr and data args.
      
      This difference in particular breaks the Linux native GDB support
      for fork and vfork tracing on sparc and sparc64.
      
      There is no interest in running SunOS binaries using this weird
      PTRACE_CONT behavior, so just delete it so we behave like other
      platforms do.
