  • f0d1b0b30   [PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernel ... Browse Code »

    This facility provides three entry points:

    ilog2() Log base 2 of unsigned long
    ilog2_u32() Log base 2 of u32
    ilog2_u64() Log base 2 of u64

    These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:

    int do_something(long q)
    {
    ...;
    y = ilog2(x)
    ...;
    }

    Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:

    unsigned n = ilog2(27);

    When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
    initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
    something not reducible to a constant. They treat negative numbers as
    unsigned.

    When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
    them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
    x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

  • fd593d127   [PATCH] relocatable kernel: Kallsyms generate relocatable symbols ... Browse Code »

    Print the addresses of non-absolute symbols relative to _text
    so that ld will generate relocations. Allowing a relocatable
    kernel to relocate them. We can't actually use the symbol names
    because kallsyms includes static symbols that are not exported
    from their object files.

    Add the _text symbol definitions to the architectures which don't
    define it otherwise linker will fail.

    Add a vmlinux.lds.h helper macro for defining the eight-level initcall table,
    teach all the architectures to use it.

    This is a prerequisite for a patch which performs initcall synchronisation for
    multithreaded-probing.

  • fe74290d5   [PATCH] provide kernel_execve on all architectures ... Browse Code »

    This adds the new kernel_execve function on all architectures that were using
    _syscall3() to implement execve.

    The implementation uses code from the _syscall3 macros provided in the
    unistd.h header file. I don't have cross-compilers for any of these
    architectures, so the patch is untested with the exception of i386.

    Most architectures can probably implement this in a nicer way in assembly or
    by combining it with the sys_execve implementation itself, but this should do
    it for now.

    This patch adds a nsproxy structure to the task struct. Later patches will
    move the fs namespace pointer into this structure, and introduce a new utsname
    namespace into the nsproxy.

    The vserver and openvz functionality, then, would be implemented in large part
    by virtualizing/isolating more and more resources into namespaces, each
    contained in the nsproxy.

  • 8ef386092   [PATCH] kill wall_jiffies ... Browse Code »

    With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies.
    So we can kill wall_jiffies completely.

    This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior
    except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a
    condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1". This condition is never met so I
    suppose it is just a bug. I just remove that condition only instead of
    kill the whole "if" block.

  • 3171a0305   [PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem) ... Browse Code »

    Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390
    timer interrupt handler with this change.

    Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but
    callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks
    get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy
    pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky.

    This cleanup make a barrier added by
    5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes
    it.

    As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now
    wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really
    remove wall_jiffies. It would be another cleanup patch)
