      [PATCH] modules: add version and srcversion to sysfs · c988d2b2
      Matt Domsch 提交于
      This patch adds version and srcversion files to
      /sys/module/${modulename} containing the version and srcversion fields
      of the module's modinfo section (if present).
      
      /sys/module/e1000
      |-- srcversion
      `-- version
      
      This patch differs slightly from the version posted in January, as it
      now uses the new kstrdup() call in -mm.
      
      Why put this in sysfs?
      
      a) Tools like DKMS, which deal with changing out individual kernel
         modules without replacing the whole kernel, can behave smarter if they
         can tell the version of a given module.  The autoinstaller feature, for
         example, which determines if your system has a "good" version of a
         driver (i.e.  if the one provided by DKMS has a newer verson than that
         provided by the kernel package installed), and to automatically compile
         and install a newer version if DKMS has it but your kernel doesn't yet
         have that version.
      
      b) Because sysadmins manually, or with tools like DKMS, can switch out
         modules on the file system, you can't count on 'modinfo foo.ko', which
         looks at /lib/modules/${kernelver}/...  actually matching what is loaded
         into the kernel already.  Hence asking sysfs for this.
      
      c) as the unbind-driver-from-device work takes shape, it will be
         possible to rebind a driver that's built-in (no .ko to modinfo for the
         version) to a newly loaded module.  sysfs will have the
         currently-built-in version info, for comparison.
      
      d) tech support scripts can then easily grab the version info for what's
         running presently - a question I get often.
      
      There has been renewed interest in this patch on linux-scsi by driver
      authors.
      
      As the idea originated from GregKH, I leave his Signed-off-by: intact,
      though the implementation is nearly completely new.  Compiled and run on
      x86 and x86_64.

      [PATCH] smp_processor_id() cleanup · 39c715b7
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that
      Arjan van de Ven and I came up with.
      
      The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API
      spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the
      usage side.
      
      Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the
      complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined
      __smp_processor_id.
      
      In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols:
      
       - smp_processor_id(): debug variant.
      
       - raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing
         uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined
         by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h.
      
      There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT:
      
       - debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to
                                   smp_processor_id().
      
      Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new
      lib/smp_processor_id.c file.  All related comments got updated and/or
      clarified.
      
      I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86:
      
       {SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT}
      
      I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT.  (Other
      architectures are untested, but should work just fine.)

      [PATCH] flush icache in correct context · ae92ef8a
      Roman Zippel 提交于
      flush_icache_range() is used in two different situation - in binfmt_elf.c &
      co for user space mappings and module.c for kernel modules.  On m68k
      flush_icache_range() doesn't know which data to flush, as it has separate
      address spaces and the pointer argument can be valid in either address
      space.
      
      First I considered splitting flush_icache_range(), but this patch is
      simpler.  Setting the correct context gives flush_icache_range() enough
      information to flush the correct data.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      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!
