  • At over 4000 #includes, is the 9th most
    #included header file in the Linux kernel. It does not need
    , so drop that header and explicitly add
    to source files that need it.

    4146 #include

    After this patch, there are 225 files that use ,
    for a reduction of around 3900 times that
    does not have to be read & parsed.

    225 #include

    This patch was build-tested on 20 different arch-es.

    It also makes these drivers SubmitChecklist#1 compliant.

  • Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For
    now, this is just documenting that the function returns
    a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno. Once all instances
    are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type.

    vm_fault_t")

  • This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
    variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
    L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
    for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

    with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

    NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
    values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost".
    For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
    actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

    The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
    should be all done.

  • Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
    "Yet another big pile of changes:

    - More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we
    need to think about the syscalls themself.

    - A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer
    only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner
    than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
    multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
    time at the call site.

    - A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp
    work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required.

    - A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got
    collected here because either maintainers requested so or they
    simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few
    trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was
    unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort.

    - Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing.

    - Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their
    hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5
    seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs.
    No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately.

    - The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers. Nothing
    really exciting"

  • Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
    makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

    By default all files without license information are under the default
    license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

    Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
    SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
    shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

    This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
    Philippe Ombredanne.

    How this work was done:

    Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
    the use cases:
    - file had no licensing information it it.
    - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
    - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

    Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
    where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
    had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

    The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
    a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
    output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
    tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
    base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

    The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
    assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
    results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
    to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
    immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

    Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
    - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
    - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
    lines of source
    - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

  • ->fault(), ->page_mkwrite(), and ->pfn_mkwrite() calls do not need to
    take a vma and vmf parameter when the vma already resides in vmf.

    Remove the vma parameter to simplify things.

    hsi/clients/ssi_protocol:
    - use core MTU range checking
    - remove now redundant ssip_pn_set_mtu

    ipoib:
    - set a default max MTU value
    - Note: ipoib's actual max MTU can vary, depending on if the device is in
    connected mode or not, so we'll just set the max_mtu value to the max
    possible, and let the ndo_change_mtu function continue to validate any new
    MTU change requests with checks for CM or not. Note that ipoib has no
    min_mtu set, and thus, the network core's mtu > 0 check is the only lower
    bounds here.

    mptlan:
    - use net core MTU range checking
    - remove now redundant mpt_lan_change_mtu

    fddi:
    - min_mtu = 21, max_mtu = 4470
    - remove now redundant fddi_change_mtu (including export)

    fjes:
    - min_mtu = 8192, max_mtu = 65536
    - The max_mtu value is actually one over IP_MAX_MTU here, but the idea is to
    get past the core net MTU range checks so fjes_change_mtu can validate a
    new MTU against what it supports (see fjes_support_mtu in fjes_hw.c)
