  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • Not all systems require Mac-style button emulation, however distributions
    enable it by default so it is readily available. Allow compiling it as a
    module so it can be loaded only on systems that actually require it.

  • Current implementation of Mac mouse button emulation plugs into legacy
    keyboard driver, converts certain keys into button events on a separate
    device, and suppresses the real events from reaching tty. This worked
    well enough until user space started using evdev which was completely
    unaware of this arrangement and kept sending original key presses to
    its users. Change the implementation to use newly added input filter
    framework so that original key presses are not transmitted to any
    handlers.

    As a bonus remove SYSCTL dependencies from the code and use Kconfig
    instead; also do not create the emulated mouse device until user
    activates emulation.

  • The mouse button emulation calls input device methods from an input
    device. This causes funny lock nesting which is harmless as each
    device has its own locks.

    Give the nesting device its own lock classes so that lockdep will not
    consider them the same.

  • get rid of input BIT* duplicate defines

    use newly global defined macros for input layer. Also remove includes of
    input.h from non-input sources only for BIT macro definiton. Define the
    macro temporarily in local manner, all those local definitons will be
    removed further in this patchset (to not break bisecting).
    BIT macro will be globally defined (1<

    drivers/char/keyboard.c: In function 'kbd_keycode':
    drivers/char/keyboard.c:1142: error: implicit declaration of function 'mac_hid_mouse_emulate_buttons'

    The forward declaration of mac_hid_mouse_emulate_buttons() is not visible on
    m68k because it's hidden in the middle of a big #ifdef block.

    Move it to , correct the type of the second parameter, and
    include where needed.

  • The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
    sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is
    pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

    I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
    register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
    duplicate sysctl entries.

    So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
    the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
    enhancments harder.

  • 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!
