Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot
process and this is provided with a set of four functions:
malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release.The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement
free. This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding
allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena.This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying
all the malloc/free implementations.The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses:
- free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which
allocations should be made
- free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which
allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on
the number of allocations, it just grows as much as neededThe architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog()
function call. This function will be called several times during the
decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is
still running. If an architecture provides such a call, then it must
define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls
arch_decomp_wdog().Work initially done by Matt Mackall, updated to a recent version of the
kernel and improved by me.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

arch/mips/kernel/stacktrace.c: Heiko can't type
kthread: reduce stack pressure in create_kthread and kthreadd
fix core/stacktrace changes on avr32, mips, sh -
This patch introduces the new syscall pipe2 which is like pipe but it also
takes an additional parameter which takes a flag value. This patch implements
the handling of O_CLOEXEC for the flag. I did not add support for the new
syscall for the architectures which have a special sys_pipe implementation. I
think the maintainers of those archs have the chance to go with the unified
implementation but that's up to them.The implementation introduces do_pipe_flags. I did that instead of changing
all callers of do_pipe because some of the callers are written in assembler.
I would probably screw up changing the assembly code. To avoid breaking code
do_pipe is now a small wrapper around do_pipe_flags. Once all callers are
changed over to do_pipe_flags the old do_pipe function can be removed.The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The goal of this patchset is to support multiple hugetlb page sizes. This
is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which
encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg. huge page
size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc).The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these
fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they
are operating on.This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it
(default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the
hstate.Future patches will add more hstate structures to allow for different
hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

Flag platforms as HAVE_CLK (or not) in Kconfig, based on whether they
support calls, so that otherwise portable drivers which need
those calls can list that dependency.Something like this is a prerequisite for merging the musb_hdrc driver,
currently used on platforms including Davinci, OMAP2430, OMAP3xx ... and
the discrete TUSB6010 chip, which doesn't have a natural platform
dependency. (Used with OMAP 2420 in current Nokia N8x0 tablets.)Signed-off-by: David Brownell

This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.Runtime tested: x86-32, x86-64

Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
problem in the NOHZ code:scheduler switch to idle task
enable interruptsWindow starts here
----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
irq_exit() stops the tick----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)
return from schedule()
cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();
Window ends here
The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
disabled.The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
that we can not run into such a situation ever again.cpu_idle()

preempt_disable();while(1) {
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); ,

IRQ trigger type can be specified in the IRQ resource definition by
IORESOURCE_IRQ_*, we need only one way to specify this.This also fixes the following small issue:
To allow dynamic support for multiple platforms, when those relevant
macros are not defined for one specific platform, the default case
will be:- SMC_DYNAMIC_BUS_CONFIG defined
- and SMC_IRQ_FLAGS = IRQF_TRIGGER_RISINGWhile if "irq_flags" is missing when defining the smc91x_platdata,
usually as follows:static struct smc91x_platdata xxxx_smc91x_data = {
.flags = SMC91X_USE_XXBIT,
};The lp->cfg.irq_flags will always be overriden by the above structure
(due to a memcpy), thus rendering lp->cfg.irq_flags to be "0" always.
(regardless of the default SMC_IRQ_FLAGS or IORESOURCE_IRQ_* flags)Fixes this by forcing to use IORESOURCE_IRQ_* flags if present, and
make the only user of smc91x_platdata.irq_flags (renesas/migor) to
use IORESOURCE_IRQ_*.Signed-off-by: Eric Miao

Russell King did the following back in 2003:
[PCI] pci-9: Kill per-architecture pcibios_update_resource()
Kill pcibios_update_resource(), replacing it with pci_update_resource().
pci_update_resource() uses pcibios_resource_to_bus() to convert a
resource to a device BAR - the transformation should be exactly the
same as the transformation used for the PCI bridges.pci_update_resource "knows" about 64-bit BARs, but doesn't attempt to
set the high 32-bits to anything non-zero - currently no architecture
attempts to do something different. If anyone cares, please fix; I'm
going to reflect current behaviour for the time being.Ivan pointed out the following architectures need to examine their
pcibios_update_resource() implementation - they should make sure that
this new implementation does the right thing. #warning's have been
added where appropriate.ia64
