  • …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.

  • Joe Perches noticed some printks in smp.c that needed fixing.

    While I was in there, I did the usual tidying in arch/um/kernel, which
    should be fairly style-clean at this point:
    copyright updates
    emacs formatting comments removal
    include tidying
    style fixes

  • Tidy kern_util.h. It turns out that most of the function declarations
    aren't used, so they can go away. os.h no longer includes
    kern_util.h, so files which got it through os.h now need to include it
    directly. A number of other files never needed it, so these includes
    are deleted.

    The structure which was used to pass signal handlers from the kernel
    side to the userspace side is gone. Instead, the handlers are
    declared here, and used directly from libc code. This allows
    arch/um/os-Linux/trap.c to be deleted, with its remnants being moved
    to arch/um/os-Linux/skas/trap.c.

    arch/um/os-Linux/tty.c had its inclusions changed, and it needed some
    style attention, so it got tidied.

  • This patch makes a number of simplifications enabled by the removal of
    CHOOSE_MODE. There were lots of functions that looked like

    int foo(args){
    foo_skas(args);
    }

    The bodies of foo_skas are now folded into foo, and their declarations (and
    sometimes entire header files) are deleted.

    In addition, the union uml_pt_regs, which was a union between the tt and skas
    register formats, is now a struct, with the tt-mode arm of the union being
    removed.

    It turns out that usr2_handler was unused, so it is gone.

  • The next stage after removing code which depends on CONFIG_MODE_TT is removing
    the CHOOSE_MODE abstraction, which provided both compile-time and run-time
    branching to either tt-mode or skas-mode code.

    This patch removes choose-mode.h and all inclusions of it, and replaces all
    CHOOSE_MODE invocations with the skas branch. This leaves a number of trivial
    functions which will be dealt with in a later patch.

    There are some changes in the uaccess and tls support which go somewhat beyond
    this and eliminate some of the now-redundant functions.

  • This patchset throws out tt mode, which has been non-functional for a while.

    This is done in phases, interspersed with code cleanups on the affected files.

    The removal is done as follows:
    remove all code, config options, and files which depend on
    CONFIG_MODE_TT
    get rid of the CHOOSE_MODE macro, which decided whether to
    call tt-mode or skas-mode code, and replace invocations with their
    skas portions
    replace all now-trivial procedures with their skas equivalents

    There are now a bunch of now-redundant pieces of data structures, including
    mode-specific pieces of the thread structure, pt_regs, and mm_context. These
    are all replaced with their skas-specific contents.

    As part of the ongoing style compliance project, I made a style pass over all
    files that were changed. There are three such patches, one for each phase,
    covering the files affected by that phase but no later ones.

    I noticed that we weren't freeing the LDT state associated with a process when
    it exited, so that's fixed in one of the later patches.

    The last patch is a tidying patch which I've had for a while, but which caused
    inexplicable crashes under tt mode. Since that is no longer a problem, this
    can now go in.

    This patch:

    Start getting rid of tt mode support.

    This patch throws out CONFIG_MODE_TT and all config options, code, and files
    which depend on it.

    CONFIG_MODE_SKAS is gone and everything that depends on it is included
    unconditionally.

    The few changed lines are in re-written Kconfig help, lines which needed
    something skas-related removed from them, and a few more which weren't
    strictly deletions.

  • Olaf Hering

    Olaf reported UML doesn't build for him with a clear analisys of what happened
    - we're using NR_CPUS in files linked against glibc headers. Seems like it
    defines CONFIG_SMP but not CONFIG_NR_CPUS, so we get CONFIG_NR_CPUS
    undeclared.

    The fix is to move the declaration away from that header file and move it in
    asm-um headers, and to add that header where needed.

  • The problem. It is expected that /sbin/halt -p works exactly like
    /sbin/halt, when the kernel does not implement power off functionality.

    The kernel can do a lot of work in the reboot notifiers and in
    device_shutdown before we even get to machine_power_off. Some of that
    shutdown is not safe if you are leaving the power on, and it definitely
    gets in the way of using sysrq or pressing ctrl-alt-del. Since the
    shutdown happens in generic code there is no way to fix this in
    architecture specific code :(

    Some machines are kernel oopsing today because of this.

    The simple solution is to turn LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_POWER_OFF into
    LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_HALT if power_off functionality is not implemented.

    This has the unfortunate side effect of disabling the power off
    functionality on architectures that leave pm_power_off to null and still
    implement something in machine_power_off. And it will break the build on
    some architectures that don't have a pm_power_off variable at all.

    On both counts I say tough.

    For architectures like alpha that don't implement the pm_power_off variable
    pm_power_off is declared in linux/pm.h and it is a generic part of our
    power management code, and all architectures should implement it.

    For architectures like parisc that have a default power off method in
    machine_power_off if pm_power_off is not implemented or fails. It is easy
    enough to set the pm_power_off variable. And nothing bad happens there,
    the machines just stop powering off.

    The current semantics are impossible without a flag at the top level so we
    can avoid the problem code if a power off is not implemented. pm_power_off
    is as good a flag as any with the bonus that it works without modification
    on at least x86, x86_64, powerpc, and ppc today.

    Andrew can you pick this up and put this in the mm tree. Kernels that
    don't compile or don't power off seem saner than kernels that oops or
    panic. Until we get the arch specific patches for the problem
    architectures this probably isn't smart to push into the stable kernel.
    Unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment to walk through every
    architecture and make them work. And even if I did I couldn't test it :(

  • machine_restart, machine_halt and machine_power_off are machine
    specific hooks deep into the reboot logic, that modules
    have no business messing with. Usually code should be calling
    kernel_restart, kernel_halt, kernel_power_off, or
    emergency_restart. So don't export machine_restart,
    machine_halt, and machine_power_off so we can catch buggy users.

  • kmalloc wasn't being disabled during panic. This patch ensures that, no
    matter how UML is exiting, it is disabled. This matters because part of the
    cleanup is to remove the umid file, which involves readdir, which calls
    malloc. This must map to libc malloc, rather than kmalloc or vmalloc.

  • 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!
