  • Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
    cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.

    Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
    different statements and wanted to change them one after another
    whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
    people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
    for new files.
    So unify all of them in one go.

  • Currently the buffer for diagnose data is allocated in the open function
    of the debugfs file and is released in the close function. This has the
    drawback that a user (root) can pin that memory by not closing the file.
    This patch moves the buffer allocation to the read function. The buffer is
    automatically released after the buffer is copied to userspace.

  • All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
    nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
    .llseek pointer.

    The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
    and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
    the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
    the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

    New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
    and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
    to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
    relies on calling seek on the device file.

    The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
    comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
    chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
    be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
    seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

    Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
    the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

    Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
    patch that does all this.

  • …it 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.

  • Major cleanup of all s390 inline assemblies. They now have a common
    coding style. Quite a few have been shortened, mainly by using register
    asm variables. Use of the EX_TABLE macro helps as well. The atomic ops,
    bit ops and locking inlines new use the Q-constraint if a newer gcc
    is used. That results in slightly better code.

    Thanks to Christian Borntraeger for proof reading the changes.

  • On zSeries machines there exists an interface which allows the operating
    system to retrieve LPAR hypervisor accounting data. For example, it is
    possible to get usage data for physical and virtual cpus. In order to
    provide this information to user space programs, I implemented a new
    virtual Linux file system named 's390_hypfs' using the Linux 2.6 libfs
    framework. The name 's390_hypfs' stands for 'S390 Hypervisor Filesystem'.
    All the accounting information is put into different virtual files which
    can be accessed from user space. All data is represented as ASCII strings.

    When the file system is mounted the accounting information is retrieved and
    a file system tree is created with the attribute files containing the cpu
    information. The content of the files remains unchanged until a new update
    is made. An update can be triggered from user space through writing
    'something' into a special purpose update file.

    We create the following directory structure:

    /
    update
    cpus/

    type
    mgmtime

    ...
    hyp/
    type
    systems/

    cpus/

    type
    mgmtime
    cputime
    onlinetime

    ...

    cpus/
    ...

    - update: File to trigger update
    - cpus/: Directory for all physical cpus
    - cpus//: Directory for one physical cpu.
    - cpus//type: Type name of physical zSeries cpu.
    - cpus//mgmtime: Physical-LPAR-management time in microseconds.
    - hyp/: Directory for hypervisor information
    - hyp/type: Typ of hypervisor (currently only 'LPAR Hypervisor')
    - systems/: Directory for all LPARs
    - systems//: Directory for one LPAR.
    - systems//cpus//: Directory for the virtual cpus
    - systems//cpus//type: Typ of cpu.
    - systems//cpus//mgmtime:
    Accumulated number of microseconds during which a physical
    CPU was assigned to the logical cpu and the cpu time was
    consumed by the hypervisor and was not provided to
    the LPAR (LPAR overhead).

    - systems//cpus//cputime:
    Accumulated number of microseconds during which a physical CPU
    was assigned to the logical cpu and the cpu time was consumed
    by the LPAR.

    - systems//cpus//onlinetime:
    Accumulated number of microseconds during which the logical CPU
    has been online.

    As mount point for the filesystem /sys/hypervisor/s390 is created.

    The update process is triggered when writing 'something' into the
    'update' file at the top level hypfs directory. You can do this e.g.
    with 'echo 1 > update'. During the update the whole directory structure
    is deleted and built up again.
