"s390 does not even need (in|out)b(_p|). I wondered what else from
io.h do we not need. The answer is: almost nothing. With the devres
patch from Al and the dma-mapping patch from Heiko we can get rid of
iomem and all associated definitions."So we'll just need to replace NO_IOPORT with NO_IOMEM in Kconfig and
kill arch/s390/mm/ioremap.c.BTW, there's an annoying bit of junk in there - IO_SPACE_LIMIT. We
only need it for /proc/ioports, which AFAICS shouldn't even be there
on s390 (or uml). OTOH, removing that thing would mean a user-visible
change - we go from "empty file in /proc" to "no such file in /proc"...Signed-off-by: Al Viro

* Split the implementation-agnostic stuff in separate files.
* Make sure that targets using non-default request_irq() pull
kernel/irq/devres.o
* Introduce new symbols (HAS_IOPORT and HAS_IOMEM) defaulting to positive;
allow architectures to turn them off (we needed these symbols anyway for
dependencies of quite a few drivers).
* protect the ioport-related parts of lib/devres.o with CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Extend the set of "__attribute__" shortcut macros, and remove identical
(and now superfluous) definitions from a couple of source files.based on a page at robert love's blog:
http://rlove.org/log/2005102601
extend the set of shortcut macros defined in compiler-gcc.h with the
following:#define __packed __attribute__((packed))
#define __weak __attribute__((weak))
#define __naked __attribute__((naked))
#define __noreturn __attribute__((noreturn))
#define __pure __attribute__((pure))
#define __aligned(x) __attribute__((aligned(x)))
#define __printf(a,b) __attribute__((format(printf,a,b)))Once these are in place, it's up to subsystem maintainers to decide if they
want to take advantage of them. there is already a strong precedent for
using shortcuts like this in the source tree.The ones that might give people pause are "__aligned" and "__printf", but
shortcuts for both of those are already in use, and in some ways very
confusingly. note the two very different definitions for a macro named
"ALIGNED":drivers/net/sgiseeq.c:#define ALIGNED(x) ((((unsigned long)(x)) + 0xf) & ~(0xf))
drivers/scsi/ultrastor.c:#define ALIGNED(x) __attribute__((aligned(x)))also:
include/acpi/platform/acgcc.h:
#define ACPI_PRINTF_LIKE(c) __attribute__ ((__format__ (__printf__, c, c+1)))Given the precedent, then, it seems logical to at least standardize on a
consistent set of these macros.Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day

fix-rmmod-read-write-races-in-proc-entries.patch doesn't want dynamically
allocated ->proc_fops, because it will set it to NULL at module unload time.Regardless of module status, switch to statically allocated ->proc_fops which
leads to simpler code without wrappers.AFAICS, also fix the following bug: "sn_force_interrupt" proc entry set
->write for itself, but was created with 0444 permissions. Change to 0644.Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan

I noticed that almost all architectures implemented exactly the same
sys32_sysinfo... except parisc, where a bug was to be found in handling of
the uptime. So let's remove a whole whack of code for fun and profit.
Cribbed compat_sys_sysinfo from x86_64's implementation, since I figured it
would be the best tested.This patch incorporates Arnd's suggestion of not using set_fs/get_fs, but
instead extracting out the common code from sys_sysinfo.Cc: Christoph Hellwig

The line discipline numbers N_* are currently defined for each architecture
individually, but (except for a seeming mistake) identically, in
asm/termios.h. There is no obvious reason why these numbers should be
architecture specific, nor any apparent relationship with the termios
structure. The total number of these, NR_LDISCS, is defined in linux/tty.h
anyway. So I propose the following patch which moves the definitions of
the individual line disciplines to linux/tty.h too.Three of these numbers (N_MASC, N_PROFIBUS_FDL, and N_SMSBLOCK) are unused
in the current kernel, but the patch still keeps the complete set in case
there are plans to use them yet.Signed-off-by: Tilman Schmidt

This patch fixes some missing ptrace bits on x86_64. PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL is
hooked up and implemented. This required generalizing arch_prctl_skas
slightly to take a task_struct to modify. Previously, it always operated on
current.Reading and writing the debug registers is also enabled by un-ifdefing the
code that implements that. It turns out that x86_64 is identical to i386, so
the same code can be used.Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike

x86_64 needs some TLS fixes. What was missing was remembering the child
thread id during clone and stuffing it into the child during each context
switch.The %fs value is stored separately in the thread structure since the host
controls what effect it has on the actual register file. The host also needs
to store it in its own thread struct, so we need the value kept outside the
register file.arch_prctl_skas was fixed to call PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL appropriately. There is
some saving and restoring of registers in the ARCH_SET_* cases so that the
correct set of registers are changed on the host and restored to the process
when it runs again.Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike

The startup code panics a lot if anything goes wrong early on. This is wrong
for several reasons, like the kernel isn't running, so you can't really be
calling into it yet, but the harm comes from useful error messages being
trapped in the printk ring where no one will ever see them.This patch changes these panics to perror and printf in wrappers which also
exit. Normal, informational, prints are also wrapped so that fflush(stdout)
is called after each one. This is so the output appears in the correct
sequence in the event of an error.Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike

We shouldn't be using the os wrappers from os code - we can use libc directly.

Replace global queue and lock with per-device queues and locks. Mostly a
straightforward replacement of ubd_io_lock with dev->lock and ubd_queue with
dev->queue.Complications -
There was no way to get a request struct (and queue) from the
structure sent to the io_thread, so a pointer to the request was
added. This is needed in ubd_handler in order to kick do_ubd_request
to process another request.
Queue initialization is moved from ubd_init to ubd_add.Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike
