I noticed that sysctl_check.o was the largest object file in
a allnoconfig build in kernel/*.36243 0 0 36243 8d93 kernel/sysctl_check.o
This is because it was default y and && EMBEDDED. But I don't
really see a need for a non kernel developer to have their
sysctls checked all the time.So move the Kconfig into the kernel debugging section and
also drop the default y and the EMBEDDED check.Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen

The idea of the implementation of this fix is from Michael Ellerman.
This function has two loops, but they each interpret the memory_limit
value differently. The first loop interprets it as a "size limit"
whereas the second loop interprets it as an "address limit".Before the second loop runs, reset memory_limit to lmb_end_of_DRAM()
so that it all works out.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot
since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in
text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them. This needs to
be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code
instead of bad examples.Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir.
Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol.Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the
Documentation/ sources. Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system.
However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need
to be installed (for userspace builds).Built (using cross-tools) for x86-64, i386, alpha, ia64, sparc32,
sparc64, powerpc, sh, m68k, & mips.Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap

Short enough reads from /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity return -EINVAL for no
good reason.This became noticed with NR_CPUS=4096 patches, when length of printed
representation of cpumask becase 1152, but cat(1) continued to read with
1024-byte chunks. bitmap_scnprintf() in good faith fills buffer, returns
1023, check returns -EINVAL.Fix it by switching to seq_file, so handler will just fill buffer and
doesn't care about offsets, length, filling EOF and all this crap.For that add seq_bitmap(), and wrappers around it -- seq_cpumask() and
seq_nodemask().Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan

Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated.A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.This patch:
dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix sge]

Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot
process and this is provided with a set of four functions:
malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release.The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement
free. This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding
allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena.This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying
all the malloc/free implementations.The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses:
- free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which
allocations should be made
- free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which
allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on
the number of allocations, it just grows as much as neededThe architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog()
function call. This function will be called several times during the
decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is
still running. If an architecture provides such a call, then it must
define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls
arch_decomp_wdog().Work initially done by Matt Mackall, updated to a recent version of the
kernel and improved by me.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

Extend memparse() to allow the caller to use a NULL second parameter, which
would represent no interest in returning the address of the end of the parsed
string.In numerous cases, callers invoke memparse() to parse a possibly-suffixed
string (such as "64K" or "2G" or whatever) and define a character pointer to
accept the end pointer being returned by memparse() even though they have no
interest in it and promptly throw it away.This (backward-compatible) enhancement allows callers to use NULL in the cases
where they just don't care about getting back that end pointer.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

This updates to define the key routines as constant
functions, which the macros will then call. Newer code can now call
bcd2bin() instead of SCREAMING BCD2BIN() TO THE FOUR WINDS.This lets each driver shrink their codespace by using N function calls to
a single (global) copy of those routines, instead of N inlined copies of
these functions per driver.These routines aren't used in speed-critical code. Almost all callers are
in the RTC framework. Typical per-driver savings is near 300 bytes.Signed-off-by: David Brownell
