  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • This patch converts the cris architecture to use the generic
    read_persistent_clock and update_persistent_clock interfaces, reducing
    the amount of arch specific code we have to maintain, and allowing for
    further cleanups in the future.

    I have not built or tested this patch, so help from arch maintainers
    would be appreciated.

  • Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT,
    PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP. This implies defining
    arch_has_single_step in and implementing the
    user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also
    causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be
    considered a bug fix.

    Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which
    it previously wasn't which is consistent with all architectures using the
    modern ptrace code.

    The way breakpoints are disabled is entirely inconsistent currently, I
    tried to make some sense of it, but I suspect all of the content of
    ptrace_disable should be moved into user_disable_single_step, this
    defintively needs some revisting as the current patch changes behaviour in
    not quite designed ways.

  • Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall. Except for
    s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical.

    There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips
    and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned
    long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while
    it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters. frv goes even
    further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which
    is a pointer type everywhere. The change from int to unsigned long for
    "third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the
    in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar
    issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch
    maintainers looks over this in details.

    Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the
    semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have
    gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on
    x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.

  • On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file
    in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all
    copies. We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages
    uncacheable.

    This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we
    now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available
    for modification via update_mmu_cache().

    Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to
    update_mmu_cache():

    On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables
    to construct a pointer to the pte again. Passing a pte_t * is much
    more elegant. Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the
    pte_t?

    Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC:

    Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want. I want that
    -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases,
    for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the
    _PAGE_EXEC.

    So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and
    remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to
    suit.

    Includes a fix from Stephen Rothwell:
