  • * remove asm/atomic.h inclusion from linux/utsname.h --
    not needed after kref conversion
    * remove linux/utsname.h inclusion from files which do not need it

    NOTE: it looks like fs/binfmt_elf.c do not need utsname.h, however
    due to some personality stuff it _is_ needed -- cowardly leave ELF-related
    headers and files alone.

  • 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 My cross-compiler is now out of date (gcc4.2) so I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.

  • A number of architectures have identical asm/mman.h files so they can all
    be merged by using the new generic file.

    The remaining asm/mman.h files are substantially different from each
    other.

  • Add a flag for mmap that will be used to request a huge page region that
    will look like anonymous memory to user space. This is accomplished by
    using a file on the internal vfsmount. MAP_HUGETLB is a modifier of
    MAP_ANONYMOUS and so must be specified with it. The region will behave
    the same as a MAP_ANONYMOUS region using small pages.

    The patch also adds the MAP_STACK flag, which was previously defined only
    on some architectures but not on others. Since MAP_STACK is meant to be a
    hint only, architectures can define it without assigning a specific
    meaning to it.

  • Commit 96177299416dbccb73b54e6b344260154a445375 ("Drop free_pages()")
    modified nr_free_pages() to return 'unsigned long' instead of 'unsigned
    int'. This made the casts to 'unsigned long' in most callers superfluous,
    so remove them.

  • Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

    In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
    initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
    becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
    monitoring, analysis facility.

    Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
    'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
    code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
    less appropriate.

    All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
    events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
    and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

    The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
    it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

    Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
    suggested a rename.

    User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
    should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
    keep the size down.)

    This patch has been generated via the following script:

    FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

    sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

    for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
    done

    FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

    sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

    ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
    used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
    a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
    change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
    is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

    Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
    stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

    ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
    with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
    over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
    in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
    better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
    instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

  • Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
    installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
    to select a custom installkernel script when running make:

    make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install

    With this patch we are now more consistent across
    different architectures - they did not all support use
    of CROSS_COMPILE.

    The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
    to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
    just because we change toolchain.

    The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
    that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
    longer be installable.
    [Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint]

    This patch undos what Ian did in commit:

    0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46
    ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")

    The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes
    looks obvious.

    switched over to using 'tun->socket.sk' instead of the redundantly
