      inflate: refactor inflate malloc code · 2d6ffcca
      Thomas Petazzoni 提交于
      Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot
      process and this is provided with a set of four functions:
      malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release.
      
      The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement
      free.  This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding
      allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena.
      
      This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying
      all the malloc/free implementations.
      
      The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses:
       - free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which
         allocations should be made
       - free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which
         allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on
         the number of allocations, it just grows as much as needed
      
      The architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog()
      function call.  This function will be called several times during the
      decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is
      still running.  If an architecture provides such a call, then it must
      define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls
      arch_decomp_wdog().
      
      Work initially done by Matt Mackall, updated to a recent version of the
      kernel and improved by me.

      flag parameters: pipe · ed8cae8b
      Ulrich Drepper 提交于
      This patch introduces the new syscall pipe2 which is like pipe but it also
      takes an additional parameter which takes a flag value.  This patch implements
      the handling of O_CLOEXEC for the flag.  I did not add support for the new
      syscall for the architectures which have a special sys_pipe implementation.  I
      think the maintainers of those archs have the chance to go with the unified
      implementation but that's up to them.
      
      The implementation introduces do_pipe_flags.  I did that instead of changing
      all callers of do_pipe because some of the callers are written in assembler.
      I would probably screw up changing the assembly code.  To avoid breaking code
      do_pipe is now a small wrapper around do_pipe_flags.  Once all callers are
      changed over to do_pipe_flags the old do_pipe function can be removed.
      
      The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
      x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

      hugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page size · a5516438
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      The goal of this patchset is to support multiple hugetlb page sizes.  This
      is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which
      encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg.  huge page
      size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc).
      
      The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these
      fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they
      are operating on.
      
      This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it
      (default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the
      hstate.
      
      Future patches will add more hstate structures to allow for different
      hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes.

      sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function · 4a0b2b4d
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
      functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
      by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
      passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
      and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.
      
      I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
      machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.
      
      I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
      huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

      nohz: prevent tick stop outside of the idle loop · b8f8c3cf
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
      problem in the NOHZ code:
      
      	scheduler switch to idle task
      	enable interrupts
      
      Window starts here
      
      	----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
      	      	irq_exit() stops the tick
      
      	----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)
      
      	return from schedule()
      	
      	cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();
      
      Window ends here
      
      The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
      first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
      rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
      disabled.
      
      The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
      NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
      hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.
      
      Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
      that we can not run into such a situation ever again.
      
      cpu_idle()
      {
      	preempt_disable();
      
      	while(1) {
      		 tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
      		 			          are in the idle loop
      
      		 while (!need_resched())
      		       halt();
      
      		 tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
      		 preempt_enable_no_resched();
      		 schedule();
      		 preempt_disable();
      	}
      }
      
      In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ...

      [NET] smc91x: remove "irq_flags" from "struct smc91x_platdata" · d280eadc
      Eric Miao 提交于
      IRQ trigger type can be specified in the IRQ resource definition by
      IORESOURCE_IRQ_*, we need only one way to specify this.
      
      This also fixes the following small issue:
      
      To allow dynamic support for multiple platforms, when those relevant
      macros are not defined for one specific platform, the default case
      will be:
      
      	- SMC_DYNAMIC_BUS_CONFIG defined
      	- and SMC_IRQ_FLAGS = IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING
      
      While if "irq_flags" is missing when defining the smc91x_platdata,
      usually as follows:
      
        static struct smc91x_platdata xxxx_smc91x_data = {
      	.flags	= SMC91X_USE_XXBIT,
        };
      
      The lp->cfg.irq_flags will always be overriden by the above structure
      (due to a memcpy), thus rendering lp->cfg.irq_flags to be "0" always.
      (regardless of the default SMC_IRQ_FLAGS or IORESOURCE_IRQ_* flags)
      
      Fixes this by forcing to use IORESOURCE_IRQ_* flags if present, and
      make the only user of smc91x_platdata.irq_flags (renesas/migor) to
      use IORESOURCE_IRQ_*.
