  • Convert m68k to use GENERIC_TIME via the arch_getoffset() infrastructure,
    reducing the amount of arch specific code we need to maintain.

    I've taken my best swing at converting this, but I'm not 100% confident
    I got it right. My cross-compiler is now out of date (gcc4.2) so I
    wasn't able to check if it compiled. Any assistance from arch
    maintainers or testers to get this merged would be great.

  • We had a recursive dependency between MMU_MOTOROLA and MMU_SUN3
    Fix it by dropping the unused dependencies on MMU_MOTOROLA.

    MMU_MOTOROLA is set to y only using select so any dependencies
    are anyway ignored.

  • This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups
    framework. It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in
    a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem.

    The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named
    freezer.state. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks
    in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in
    the cgroup. Reading will return the current state.

    * Examples of usage :

    # mkdir /containers/freezer
    # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers
    # mkdir /containers/0
    # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks

    to get status of the freezer subsystem :

    # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
    RUNNING

    to freeze all tasks in the container :

    # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state
    # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
    FREEZING
    # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
    FROZEN

    to unfreeze all tasks in the container :

    # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state
    # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
    RUNNING

    This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space
    task in a simple scenario.

    It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete. In that case we
    return EBUSY. This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing
    something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this
    time. After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected
    by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read. The state will remain
    "FREEZING" until one of these things happens:

    1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to
    the freezer.state file
    2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to
    the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal
    and returns EIO)
    3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN"
    state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

  • Currently Sun 3 support is the first platform option, as the Sun 3 MMU is
    incompatible with standard Motorola MMUs. However, this means that
    `allmodconfig' enables support for Sun 3, and thus disables support for all
    other platforms.

    Reverse the logic and move Sun 3 last, so `allmodconfig' enables all
    platforms except for Sun 3, increasing compile-coverage.

  • When the conversion factor between jiffies and milli- or microseconds is
    not a single multiply or divide, as for the case of HZ == 300, we currently
    do a multiply followed by a divide. The intervening result, however, is
    subject to overflows, especially since the fraction is not simplified (for
    HZ == 300, we multiply by 300 and divide by 1000).

    This is exposed to the user when passing a large timeout to poll(), for
    example.

    This patch replaces the multiply-divide with a reciprocal multiplication on
    32-bit platforms. When the input is an unsigned long, there is no portable
    way to do this on 64-bit platforms there is no portable way to do this
    since it requires a 128-bit intermediate result (which gcc does support on
    64-bit platforms but may generate libgcc calls, e.g. on 64-bit s390), but
    since the output is a 32-bit integer in the cases affected, just simplify
    the multiply-divide (*3/10 instead of *300/1000).

    The reciprocal multiply used can have off-by-one errors in the upper half
    of the valid output range. This could be avoided at the expense of having
    to deal with a potential 65-bit intermediate result. Since the intent is
    to avoid overflow problems and most of the other time conversions are only
    semiexact, the off-by-one errors were considered an acceptable tradeoff.

    At Ralf Baechle's suggestion, this version uses a Perl script to compute
    the necessary constants. We already have dependencies on Perl for kernel
    compiles. This does, however, require the Perl module Math::BigInt, which
    is included in the standard Perl distribution starting with version 5.8.0.
    In order to support older versions of Perl, include a table of canned
    constants in the script itself, and structure the script so that
    Math::BigInt isn't required if pulling values from said table.

    Running the script requires that the HZ value is available from the
    Makefile. Thus, this patch also adds the Kconfig variable CONFIG_HZ to the
    architectures which didn't already have it (alpha, cris, frv, h8300, m32r,
    m68k, m68knommu, sparc, v850, and xtensa.) It does *not* touch the sh or
    sh64 architectures, since Paul Mundt has dealt with those separately in the
    sh tree.

  • Mark arches that support A.OUT format by including the following in their
    master Kconfig files:

    config ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT
    def_bool y

    This should also be set if the arch provides compatibility A.OUT support for
    an older arch, for instance x86_64 for i386 or sparc64 for sparc.

    I've guessed at which arches don't, based on comments in the code, however I'm
    sure that some of the ones I've marked as 'yes' actually should be 'no'.

    "It seems sad that this patch sources Kconfig.marker, a 7-line file,
    20-something times. Yes, you (we) don't want to put those 7 lines into
    20-something different files, so sourcing is the right thing.

    However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make
    _one_ Instrumentation support menu that includes PROFILING, OPROFILE, KPROBES,
    and MARKERS and then use (source) that in all of the arches."

  • Not directly related to x86, but I got tired of seeing these warnings on every
    kconfig update when building on a non m68k box:

    drivers/input/mouse/Kconfig:182:warning: 'select' used by config symbol 'MOUSE_ATARI' refers to undefined symbol 'ATARI_KBD_CORE'

    I moved the definition of ATARI_KBD_CORE into drivers/input/keyboard/Kconfig
    so it's always seen by Kconfig.

  • As Andi pointed out: CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA only disables the ISA DMA
    channel management. Other functionality may still expect GFP_DMA to
    provide memory below 16M. So we need to make sure that CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is
    set independent of CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA. Undo the modifications to
    mm/Kconfig where we made ZONE_DMA dependent on GENERIC_ISA_DMA and set
    theses explicitly in each arches Kconfig.

    Reviews must occur for each arch in order to determine if ZONE_DMA can be
    switched off. It can only be switched off if we know that all devices
    supported by a platform are capable of performing DMA transfers to all of
    memory (Some arches already support this: uml, avr32, sh sh64, parisc and
    IA64/Altix).

    In order to switch ZONE_DMA off conditionally, one would have to establish
    a scheme by which one can assure that no drivers are enabled that are only
    capable of doing I/O to a part of memory, or one needs to provide an
    alternate means of performing an allocation from a specific range of memory
    (like provided by alloc_pages_range()) and insure that all drivers use that
    call. In that case the arches alloc_dma_coherent() may need to be modified
    to call alloc_pages_range() instead of relying on GFP_DMA.

  • 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.

  • Please, please now delete the Atari CONFIG_STRAM_SWAP code. It may be
    excellent and ingenious code, but its reference to swap_vfsmnt betrays that it
    hasn't been built since 2.5.1 (four years old come December), it's delving
    deep into matters which are the preserve of core mm code, its only purpose is
    to give the more conscientious mm guys an anxiety attack from time to time;
    yet we keep on breaking it more and more.

    If you want to use RAM for swap, then if the MTD driver does not already
    provide just what you need, I'm sure David could be persuaded to add the
    extra. But you'd also like to be able to allocate extents of that swap for
    other use: we can give you a core interface for that if you need. But unbuilt
    for four years suggests to me that there's no need at all.

    I cannot swear the patch below won't break your build, but believe so.

    are *not* going to have floppy.c compile, let alone work).
