Commit d5dc77bfeeab ("consolidate compat lookup_dcookie()") coverted all
architectures to the new compat_sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.The "len" paramater of the new compat syscall must have the type
compat_size_t in order to enforce zero extension for architectures where
the ABI requires that the caller of a function performed zero and/or
sign extension to 64 bit of all parameters.Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

The lockdep warning below detects a possible A->B/B->A locking
dependency of mm->mmap_sem and dcookie_mutex. The order in
sync_buffer() is mm->mmap_sem/dcookie_mutex, while in
sys_lookup_dcookie() it is vice versa.Fixing it in sys_lookup_dcookie() by unlocking dcookie_mutex before
copy_to_user().oprofiled/4432 is trying to acquire lock:

System calls with an unsigned long long argument can't be converted with
the standard wrappers since that would include a cast to long, which in
turn means that we would lose the upper 32 bit on 32 bit architectures.
Also semctl can't use the standard wrapper since it has a 'union'
parameter.So we handle them as special case and add some extra wrappers instead.

struct dentry is one of the most critical structures in the kernel. So it's
sad to see it going neglected.With CONFIG_PROFILING turned on (which is probably the common case at least
for distros and kernel developers), sizeof(struct dcache) == 208 here
(64-bit). This gives 19 objects per slab.I packed d_mounted into a hole, and took another 4 bytes off the inline
name length to take the padding out from the end of the structure. This
shinks it to 200 bytes. I could have gone the other way and increased the
length to 40, but I'm aiming for a magic number, read on...I then got rid of the d_cookie pointer. This shrinks it to 192 bytes. Rant:
why was this ever a good idea? The cookie system should increase its hash
size or use a tree or something if lookups are a problem. Also the "fast
dcookie lookups" in oprofile should be moved into the dcookie code -- how
can oprofile possibly care about the dcookie_mutex? It gets dropped after
get_dcookie() returns so it can't be providing any sort of protection.At 192 bytes, 21 objects fit into a 4K page, saving about 3MB on my system
with ~140 000 entries allocated. 192 is also a multiple of 64, so we get
nice cacheline alignment on 64 and 32 byte line systems -- any given dentry
will now require 3 cachelines to touch all fields wheras previously it
would require 4.I know the inline name size was chosen quite carefully, however with the
reduction in cacheline footprint, it should actually be just about as fast
to do a name lookup for a 36 character name as it was before the patch (and
faster for other sizes). The memory footprint savings for names which are
36 bytes long should more than make up for the memory cost for
33-36 byte names.Performance is a feature...

Remove fs.h from mm.h. For this,
1) Uninline vma_wants_writenotify(). It's pretty huge anyway.
2) Add back fs.h or less bloated headers (err.h) to files that need it.As result, on x86_64 allyesconfig, fs.h dependencies cut down from 3929 files
rebuilt down to 3444 (-12.3%).Cross-compile tested without regressions on my two usual configs and (sigh):

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.
The patch was generated using the following script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
#set -e
for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
quilt add $file
sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
mv /tmp/$$ $file
quilt refresh
doneThe script was run like this
sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

I discovered on oprofile hunting on a SMP platform that dentry lookups were
slowed down because d_hash_mask, d_hash_shift and dentry_hashtable were in
a cache line that contained inodes_stat. So each time inodes_stats is
changed by a cpu, other cpus have to refill their cache line.This patch moves some variables to the __read_mostly section, in order to
avoid false sharing. RCU dentry lookups can go full speed.Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet

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!
