  • 14d98cad8   [PATCH] x86_64: Add option to disable timer check ... Browse Code »

    This works around the too fast timer seen on some ATI boards.

    I don't feel confident enough about it yet to enable it by default, but give
    users the option.

    Patch and debugging from Christopher Allen Wing , with
    minor tweaks (renamed the option and documented it)

  • b39c4fab2   [PATCH] cpusets+hotplug+preepmt broken ... Browse Code »

    This patch removes the entwining of cpusets and hotplug code in the "No
    more Mr. Nice Guy" case of sched.c move_task_off_dead_cpu().

    Since the hotplug code is holding a spinlock at this point, we cannot take
    the cpuset semaphore, cpuset_sem, as would seem to be required either to
    update the tasks cpuset, or to scan up the nested cpuset chain, looking for
    the nearest cpuset ancestor that still has some CPUs that are online. So
    we just punt and blast the tasks cpus_allowed with all bits allowed.

    This reverts these lines of code to what they were before the cpuset patch.
    And it updates the cpuset Doc file, to match.

    The one known alternative to this that seems to work came from Dinakar
    Guniguntala, and required the hotplug code to take the cpuset_sem semaphore
    much earlier in its processing. So far as we know, the increased locking
    entanglement between cpusets and hot plug of this alternative approach is
    not worth doing in this case.

  • 0b405a0f7   [PATCH] Driver Core: remove driver model detach_state ... Browse Code »

    The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that:

    - Has never been used by any in-kernel drive;
    - Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing;
    - Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type;
    - Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts;
    - Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace.

    This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well
    as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.

    The patch updates the documentation for /proc. super-nr and super-max have
    been dropped from the kernel since 2.4.9 due to minor numbering issues.

    xmlto uses standared XSLT templates to generate manpages, (x)html pages, and
    XML FO files which can be processed with passivetex. This is much faster than
    using jadetex for everything. This patch also reduces the number of
    kernel-specific scripts that are needed to generate documentation.

  • 4dc3b16ba   [PATCH] DocBook: changes and extensions to the kernel documentation ... Browse Code »

    I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our
    university students again. The documentation could be extended for more
    sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I
    have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0
    time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel
    compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to
    some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
    So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
    not too much skewed.

    I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
    by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
    comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
    not bail out on errors. Changed to @pid in the description, moved some
    #ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.

    You can see result of the modified documentation build at
    http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz

    Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated
    documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more
    section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick
    cleanup work.

  • 66cf8f144   [PATCH] kernel/rcupdate.c: make the exports EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL ... Browse Code »

    The gpl exports need to be put back. Moving them to GPL -- but in a
    measured manner, as I proposed on this list some months ago -- is fine.
    Changing these particular exports precipitously is most definitely -not-
    fine. Here is my earlier proposal:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110520930301813&w=2

    See below for a patch that puts the exports back, along with an updated
    version of my earlier patch that starts the process of moving them to GPL.
    I will also be following this message with RFC patches that introduce two
    (EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL) interfaces to replace synchronize_kernel(), which then
    becomes deprecated.

  • f9ba70535   [PATCH] Increase number of e820 entries hard limit from 32 to 128 ... Browse Code »

    The specifications that talk about E820 map doesn't have an upper limit on
    the number of e820 entries. But, today's kernel has a hard limit of 32.
    With increase in memory size, we are seeing the number of E820 entries
    reaching close to 32. Patch below bumps the number upto 128.

    The patch changes the location of EDDBUF in zero-page (as it comes after E820).
    As, EDDBUF is not used by boot loaders, this patch should not have any effect
    on bootloader-setup code interface.

    Patch covers both i386 and x86-64.

    Tested on:
    * grub booting bzImage
    * lilo booting bzImage with EDID info enabled
    * pxeboot of bzImage

    Side-effect:
    bss increases by ~ 2K and init.data increases by ~7.5K
    on all systems, due to increase in size of static arrays.
