Add a kconfig submenu to select the default I/O scheduler, in case
anticipatory is not compiled in or another default is preferred. Also,
since no-op is always available, we should use it whenever the selected
default is not.Signed-off-by: Nate Diller

The majority of the sys_tkill() and sys_tgkill() function code is
duplicated between the two of them. This patch pulls the duplication out
into a separate function -- do_tkill() -- and lets sys_tkill() and
sys_tgkill() be simple wrappers around it. This should make it easier to
maintain in light of future changes.Signed-off-by: Vadim Lobanov

This lock is used in sigqueue_free(), but it is always equal to
current->sighand->siglock, so we don't need to keep it in the struct

de_thread() calls del_timer_sync(->real_timer) under ->sighand->siglock.
This is deadlockable, it_real_fn sends a signal and needs this lock too.Also, delete unneeded ->real_timer.data assignment.

Now that RCU applied on 'struct file' seems stable, we can place f_rcuhead
in a memory location that is not anymore used at call_rcu(&f->f_rcuhead,
file_free_rcu) time, to reduce the size of this critical kernel object.The trick I used is to move f_rcuhead and f_list in an union called f_u
The callers are changed so that f_rcuhead becomes f_u.fu_rcuhead and f_list
becomes f_u.f_listSigned-off-by: Eric Dumazet

Removes a few pointless register keywords. register is merely a compiler
hint that access to the variable should be optimized, but gcc (3.3.6 in my
case) generates the exact same code with and without the keyword, and even
if gcc did something different with register present I think it is doubtful
we would want to optimize access to these variables - especially since this
is generic library code and there are supposed to be optimized versions in
asm/ for anything that really matters speed wise.(akpm: iirc, keyword register is a gcc no-op unless using -O0)

The only call to ide_cdrom_capacity is in code protected by
CONFIG_PROC_FS, so when that is not enabled, the compiler complains:drivers/ide/ide-cd.c:3259: warning: `ide_cdrom_capacity' defined but not used
Here is a patch that fixes that. It provides some space savings for
embedded systems that are not using procfs, as well:text data bss dec hex filename

task_struct is an internal structure to the kernel with a lot of good
information, that is probably interesting in core dumps. However there is
no way for user space to know what format that information is in making it
useless.I grepped the GDB 6.3 source code and NT_TASKSTRUCT while defined is not
used anywhere else. So I would be surprised if anyone notices it is
missing.In addition exporting kernel pointers to all the interesting kernel data
structures sounds like the very definition of an information leak. I
haven't a clue what someone with evil intentions could do with that
information, but in any attack against the kernel it looks like this is the
perfect tool for aiming that attack.So since NT_TASKSTRUCT is useless as currently defined and is potentially
dangerous, let's just not export it.(akpm: Daniel Jacobowitz "would be amazed" if anything was
using NT_TASKSTRUCT).Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

Remove timer_list.magic and associated debugging code.
I originally added this when a spinlock was added to timer_list - this meant
that an all-zeroes timer became illegal and init_timer() was required.That spinlock isn't even there any more, although timer.base must now be
initialised.I'll keep this debugging code in -mm.

This patch makes the workqueus use alloc_percpu instead of an array. The
workqueues are placed on nodes local to each processor.The workqueue structure can grow to a significant size on a system with
lots of processors if this patch is not applied. 64 bit architectures with
all debugging features enabled and configured for 512 processors will not
be able to boot without this patch.Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter

Fix bizarre 4-space coding style in the NTP code.

Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds -
Create a macro shift_right() that avoids the numerous ugly conditionals in the
NTP code that look like:if(a < 0)
b = -(-a >> shift);
else
b = a >> shift;Replacing it with:
b = shift_right(a, shift);
This should have zero effect on the logic, however it should probably have
a bit of testing just to be sure.Also replace open-coded min/max with the macros.

TIOCSTART and TIOCSTOP are defined in asm/ioctls.h and asm/termios.h by
various architectures but not actually implemented anywhere but in the IRIX
compatibility layer, so remove their COMPATIBLE_IOCTL from parisc, ppc64
and sparc64.Move the TIOCSLTC COMPATIBLE_IOCTL to common code, guided by an ifdef to
only show up on architectures that support it (same as the code handling it
in tty_ioctl.c), aswell as it's brother TIOCGLTC that wasn't handled so
far.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

We're trying to get rid of as much as possible tasklist walks, or at
least moving them to core code. This patch falls into the second
category.Instead of walking the tasklist in cfq-iosched move that into
elv_unregister. The added benefit is that with this change the as
ioscheduler might be might unloadable more easily aswell.The new code uses read_lock instead of read_lock_irq because the
tasklist_lock only needs irq disabling for writers.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Fix the problem (BUG 4964) with unmapped buffers in transaction's
t_sync_data list. The problem is we need to call filesystem's own
invalidatepage() from block_write_full_page().block_write_full_page() must call filesystem's invalidatepage(). Otherwise
following nasty race can happen:proc 1 proc 2
------ ------
- write some new data to 'offset'
=> bh gets to the transactions data list
- starts truncate
=> i_size set to new size
- mpage_writepages()
- ext3_ordered_writepage() to 'offset'
- block_write_full_page()
- page->index > end_index+1
- block_invalidatepage()
- discard_buffer()
- clear_buffer_mapped()- commit triggers and finds unmapped buffer - BOOM!

I just noted that -mtune is used, which is only supported on recent GCCs; by
reading http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html, you see "-mcpu has been
renamed to -mtune.", so for GCC < 3.4 we're not using any specific tuning in
the appropriate cases. However -mcpu is deprecated, so use -mtune when
possible.This was introduced by commit e9d4dce954a60dc23dd1d967766ca2347b780e54 of the
old tree (between 2.6.10-rc3 and 2.6.10) by Linus Torvalds, to remove the use
of -march, since that could trigger gcc using SSE on its own. But no
attention was used about using -mcpu vs. -mtune.And btw, the old 2.6.4 code (for instance) was:
cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMII) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium2,-march=i686)
cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMIII) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium3,-march=i686)
cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMM) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium3,-march=i686)
cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUM4) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium4,-march=i686)Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso

Remove RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK, it's now defined (only if needed) by the

Make UML share the underlying cpu-specific tuning done on i386.
Actually, for now many config options aren't used a lot - but that can be done
later. Also, UML relies on GCC optimization for things like memcpy and such
more than i386, so specifying the correct -march and -mtune should be enough.
Later, we may want to correct some other stuff.For instance, since FPU context switching, for us, is done (at least
partially, i.e. between our kernelspace and userspace) by the host, we may
allow usage of FPU operations by GCC. This doesn't hold for kernelspace vs.
kernelspace, but we don't support preemption.Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
