  • 4c35630cc   [POWERPC] Change rheap functions to use ulongs instead of pointers ... Browse Code »

    The rheap allocation functions return a pointer, but the actual value is based
    on how the heap was initialized, and so it can be anything, e.g. an offset
    into a buffer. A ulong is a better representation of the value returned by
    the allocation functions.

    This patch changes all of the relevant rheap functions to use a unsigned long
    integers instead of a pointer. In case of an error, the value returned is
    a negative error code that has been cast to an unsigned long. The caller can
    use the IS_ERR_VALUE() macro to check for this.

    All code which calls the rheap functions is updated accordingly. Macros
    IS_MURAM_ERR() and IS_DPERR(), have been deleted in favor of IS_ERR_VALUE().

    Also added error checking to rh_attach_region().

  • 6473d160b   PCI: Cleanup the includes of <linux/pci.h> ... Browse Code »

    I noticed that many source files include while they do
    not appear to need it. Here is an attempt to clean it all up.

    In order to find all possibly affected files, I searched for all
    files including but without any other occurence of "pci"
    or "PCI". I removed the include statement from all of these, then I
    compiled an allmodconfig kernel on both i386 and x86_64 and fixed the
    false positives manually.

    My tests covered 66% of the affected files, so there could be false
    positives remaining. Untested files are:

    arch/alpha/kernel/err_common.c
    arch/alpha/kernel/err_ev6.c
    arch/alpha/kernel/err_ev7.c
    arch/ia64/sn/kernel/huberror.c

    sound/oss/au1550_ac97.c

    I would welcome test reports for these files. I am fine with removing
    the untested files from the patch if the general opinion is that these
    changes aren't safe. The tested part would still be nice to have.

    Note that this patch depends on another header fixup patch I submitted
    to LKML yesterday:
    [PATCH] scatterlist.h needs types.h

  • 5dfe4c964   [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 2 ... Browse Code »

    Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
    moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
    dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
    these shared resources.

  • 5cbded585   [PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls ... Browse Code »

    Run this:

    #!/bin/sh
    for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
    echo "De-casting $f..."
    perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
    done

    And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
    to non-pointers.

    And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

  • d1bef4ed5   [PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chip ... Browse Code »

    This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
    various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
    functionality.

    While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
    generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
    smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
    the new 'irq chip' abstraction.

    The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
    driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
    straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
    (level/edge/etc.) type of details.

    This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
    architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
    The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
    converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.

    As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
    (master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.

    The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
    and more consolidation between architectures.

    We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
    layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.

    This patch:

    rename desc->handler to desc->chip.

    Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch. But having
    both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
    large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
    truly is.

    I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
    desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
    frequently.

    So lets get over with this quickly. The conversion was done automatically
    via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.

    This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
    remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
    without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

    Convert core 8xx drivers to use in_xxxbe/in_xxx macros instead of direct
    memory references.

    Other than making IO accesses explicit (which is a plus for readability), a
    common set of macros provides a unified place for the volatile flag to
    constraint compiler code reordering.

    There are several unlucky places at the moment which lack the volatile
    flag.

  • e6b6239f8   [PATCH] ppc32: add Freescale MPC885ADS board support ... Browse Code »

    This patch adds the Freescale MPC86xADS board support. The supported
    devices are SMC UART and 10Mbit ethernet on SCC1.

    The manual for the board says that it "is compatible with the MPC8xxFADS
    for software point of view". That's why this patch extends FADS instead of
    introducing a new platform.

    FEC is not supported as the "combined FCC/FEC ethernet driver" driver by
    Pantelis Antoniou should replace the current FEC driver.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
