      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      uml: start fixing os_read_file and os_write_file · 3d564047
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      This patch starts the removal of a very old, very broken piece of code.  This
      stems from the problem of passing a userspace buffer into read() or write() on
      the host.  If that buffer had not yet been faulted in, read and write will
      return -EFAULT.
      
      To avoid this problem, the solution was to fault the buffer in before the
      system call by touching the pages that hold the buffer by doing a copy-user of
      a byte to each page.  This is obviously bogus, but it does usually work, in tt
      mode, since the kernel and process are in the same address space and userspace
      addresses can be accessed directly in the kernel.
      
      In skas mode, where the kernel and process are in separate address spaces, it
      is completely bogus because the userspace address, which is invalid in the
      kernel, is passed into the system call instead of the corresponding physical
      address, which would be valid.  Here, it appears that this code, on every host
      read() or write(), tries to fault in a random process page.  This doesn't seem
      to cause any correctness problems, but there is a performance impact.  This
      patch, and the ones following, result in a 10-15% performance gain on a kernel
      build.
      
      This code can't be immediately tossed out because when it is, you can't log
      in.  Apparently, there is some code in the console driver which depends on
      this somehow.
      
      However, we can start removing it by switching the code which does I/O using
      kernel addresses to using plain read() and write().  This patch introduces
      os_read_file_k and os_write_file_k for use with kernel buffers and converts
      all call locations which use obvious kernel buffers to use them.  These
      include I/O using buffers which are local variables which are on the stack or
      kmalloc-ed.  Later patches will handle the less obvious cases, followed by a
      mass conversion back to the original interface.

      [PATCH] uml: add and use generic hw_controller_type->release · dbce706e
      Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso 提交于
      With Chris Wedgwood <cw@f00f.org>
      
      Currently UML must explicitly call the UML-specific
      free_irq_by_irq_and_dev() for each free_irq call it's done.
      
      This is needed because ->shutdown and/or ->disable are only called when the
      last "action" for that irq is removed.
      
      Instead, for UML shared IRQs (UML IRQs are very often, if not always,
      shared), for each dev_id some setup is done, which must be cleared on the
      release of that fd.  For instance, for each open console a new instance
      (i.e.  new dev_id) of the same IRQ is requested().
      
      Exactly, a fd is stored in an array (pollfds), which is after read by a
      host thread and passed to poll().  Each event registered by poll() triggers
      an interrupt.  So, for each free_irq() we must remove the corresponding
      host fd from the table, which we do via this -release() method.
      
      In this patch we add an appropriate hook for this, and remove all uses of
      it by pointing the hook to the said procedure; this is safe to do since the
      said procedure.
      
      Also some cosmetic improvements are included.
      
      This is heavily based on some work by Chris Wedgwood, which however didn't
      get the patch merged for something I'd call a "misunderstanding" (the need
      for this patch wasn't cleanly explained, thus adding the generic hook was
      felt as undesirable).

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
