• 2bc0414ee   [PATCH] x86_64: Only use asm/sections.h to declare section symbols ... Browse Code »

  Adding __initdata_* to asm-generic/sections.h
  Replaces a lot of open coded externs in arch/x86_64/*
  I had to change __bss_end to __bss_stop to match the other architectures.

• d0aaff979   [PATCH] Kprobes: prevent possible race conditions generic ... Browse Code »

  There are possible race conditions if probes are placed on routines within the
  kprobes files and routines used by the kprobes. For example if you put probe
  on get_kprobe() routines, the system can hang while inserting probes on any
  routine such as do_fork(). Because while inserting probes on do_fork(),
  register_kprobes() routine grabs the kprobes spin lock and executes
  get_kprobe() routine and to handle probe of get_kprobe(), kprobes_handler()
  gets executed and tries to grab kprobes spin lock, and spins forever. This
  patch avoids such possible race conditions by preventing probes on routines
  within the kprobes file and routines used by kprobes.

  I have modified the patches as per Andi Kleen's suggestion to move kprobes
  routines and other routines used by kprobes to a seperate section
  .kprobes.text.

  Also moved page fault and exception handlers, general protection fault to
  .kprobes.text section.

  These patches have been tested on i386, x86_64 and ppc64 architectures, also
  compiled on ia64 and sparc64 architectures.

• a940199f2   [PATCH] x86_64: Some cleanup in setup64.c ... Browse Code »

  Minor cleanup.

  Move things into their include files, remove obsolete includes, fix
  indentation, remove obsolete special cases etc.

  I also added the per cpu section to asm-generic/sections.h and fixed
  init/main.c to use it.

• 075d6eb16   [PATCH] ppc32: platform-specific functions missing from kallsyms. ... Browse Code »

  The PPC32 kernel puts platform-specific functions into separate sections so
  that unneeded parts of it can be freed when we've booted and actually
  worked out what we're running on today.

  This makes kallsyms ignore those functions, because they're not between
  _[se]text or _[se]inittext. Rather than teaching kallsyms about the
  various pmac/chrp/etc sections, this patch adds '_[se]extratext' markers
  for kallsyms.

  Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
  even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
  archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
  3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
  git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
  infrastructure for it.

  Let it rip!
