Currently include/linux/kvm.h is not considered by make headers_install,
because Kbuild cannot handle " unifdef-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.h. This problem
was introduced bycommit fb56dbb31c4738a3918db81fd24da732ce3b4ae6
Author: Avi Kivity
Date: Sun Dec 2 10:50:06 2007 +0200KVM: Export include/linux/kvm.h only if $ARCH actually supports KVM
Currently, make headers_check barfs due to , which
includes, not existing. Rather than add a zillion s, export kvm.
only if the arch actually supports it.Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity
which makes this an 2.6.25 regression.
One way of solving the issue is to enhance Kbuild, but Avi and David conviced
me, that changing headers_install is not the way to go. This patch changes
the definition for linux/kvm.h to unifdef-y.If unifdef-y is used for linux/kvm.h "make headers_check" will fail on all
architectures without asm/kvm.h. Therefore, this patch also provides
asm/kvm.h on all architectures.Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger

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.Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin

struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all
architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an
a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers,
which is pointless -- is not exported to userspace, and it
just makes the code messy.Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer
on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof()
instead of hand-coded arithmetic.Cc: Linux Arch Mailing List

NULL when passed such an entry.It's thus important that sg table users use the proper accessors to get

The line discipline numbers N_* are currently defined for each architecture
individually, but (except for a seeming mistake) identically, in
asm/termios.h. There is no obvious reason why these numbers should be
architecture specific, nor any apparent relationship with the termios
structure. The total number of these, NR_LDISCS, is defined in linux/tty.h
anyway. So I propose the following patch which moves the definitions of
the individual line disciplines to linux/tty.h too.Three of these numbers (N_MASC, N_PROFIBUS_FDL, and N_SMSBLOCK) are unused
in the current kernel, but the patch still keeps the complete set in case
there are plans to use them yet.Signed-off-by: Tilman Schmidt

In order to sort out our struct termios and add proper speed control we need
to separate the kernel and user termios structures. Glibc is fine but the
other libraries rely on the kernel exported struct termios and we need to
extend this without breaking the ABI/APITo do so we add a struct ktermios which is the kernel view of a termios
structure and overlaps the struct termios with extra fields on the end for
now. (That limitation will go away in later patches). Some platforms (eg
alpha) planned ahead and thus use the same struct for both, others did not.This just adds the structures but does not use them, it seems a sensible
splitting point for bisect if there are compile failures (not that I expect
them)Signed-off-by: Alan Cox
