  • The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the
    EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else. Revector them
    onto the isolated export header for faster compile times.

    Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of:

    -#include
    +#include

    This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets
    will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc.

  • All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
    nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
    .llseek pointer.

    The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
    and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
    the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
    the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

    New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
    and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
    to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
    relies on calling seek on the device file.

    The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
    comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
    chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
    be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
    seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

    Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
    the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

    Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
    patch that does all this.

  • Callers of alloc_pages_node() can optionally specify -1 as a node to mean
    "allocate from the current node". However, a number of the callers in
    fast paths know for a fact their node is valid. To avoid a comparison and
    branch, this patch adds alloc_pages_exact_node() that only checks the nid
    with VM_BUG_ON(). Callers that know their node is valid are then
    converted.

    Commit c309b917cab55799ea489d7b5f1b77025d9f8462 "cpumask: convert
    kernel/profile.c" broke profiling. prof_cpu_mask was previously

    We need to copy cpu_possible_mask (cpu_online_mask is not enough).

  • Impact: Reduce kernel memory usage, use new cpumask API.

    Avoid a static cpumask_t for prof_cpu_mask, and an on-stack cpumask_t
    in prof_cpu_mask_write_proc. Both become cpumask_var_t.

    prof_cpu_mask is only allocated when profiling is on, but the NULL
    checks are optimized out by gcc for the !CPUMASK_OFFSTACK case.

    Also removed some strange and unnecessary casts.

  • …t_scnprintf to take pointers.

    Impact: change calling convention of existing cpumask APIs

    Most cpumask functions started with cpus_: these have been replaced by
    cpumask_ ones which take struct cpumask pointers as expected.

    These four functions don't have good replacement names; fortunately
    they're rarely used, so we just change them over.

  • Impact: fix section mismatch warning in kernel/profile.c

    Here, profile_nop function has been called from a non-init function
    create_hash_tables(void). Which generetes a section mismatch warning.
    Previously, create_hash_tables(void) was a init function. So, removing
    __init from create_hash_tables(void) requires profile_nop to be
    non-init.

    This patch makes profile_nop function inline and fixes the
    following warning:

    WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x6ebb6): Section mismatch in reference from
    the function create_hash_tables() to the function
    .init.text:profile_nop()
    The function create_hash_tables() references
    the function __init profile_nop().
    This is often because create_hash_tables lacks a __init
    annotation or the annotation of profile_nop is wrong.

  • profile_init() calls in to alloc_bootmem() on early initialization. While
    alloc_bootmem() is __init, the reference itself is safe in that it is
    tucked below a !slab_is_available() check. So, flag profile_init() as
    __ref.

  • Way too often, I have a machine that exhibits some kind of crappy
    behavior. The CPU looks wedged in the kernel or it is spending way too
    much system time and I wonder what is responsible.

    I try to run readprofile. But, of course, Ubuntu doesn't enable it by
    default. Dang!

    The reason we boot-time enable it is that it takes a big bufffer that we
    generally can only bootmem alloc. But, does it hurt to at least try and
    runtime-alloc it?

    To use:
    echo 2 > /sys/kernel/profile

    Then run readprofile like normal.

    This should fix the compile issue with allmodconfig. I've compile-tested
    on a bunch more configs now including a few more architectures.

  • Build kernel/profile.o only if CONFIG_PROFILING is enabled.

    This makes CONFIG_PROFILING=n kernels smaller.

    As a bonus, some profile_tick() calls and one branch from schedule() are
    now eliminated with CONFIG_PROFILING=n (but I doubt these are
    measurable effects).

    This patch changes the effects of CONFIG_PROFILING=n, but I don't think
    having more than two choices would be the better choice.

    This patch also adds the name of the first parameter to the prototypes
    of profile_{hits,tick}() since I anyway had to add them for the dummy
    functions.

  • gcc-4.2 is a lot more picky about its symbol handling. EXPORT_SYMBOL no
    longer works on symbols that are undefined or defined with static scope.

    For example, with CONFIG_PROFILE off, I see:

    kernel/profile.c:206: error: __ksymtab_profile_event_unregister causes a section type conflict
    kernel/profile.c:205: error: __ksymtab_profile_event_register causes a section type conflict

    This patch moves the EXPORTs inside the #ifdef CONFIG_PROFILE, so we
    only try to export symbols that are defined.

    Also, in kernel/kprobes.c there's an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for
    jprobes_return, which if CONFIG_JPROBES is undefined is a static
    inline and gives the same error.

    And in drivers/acpi/resources/rsxface.c, there's an
    ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOPL() for a static symbol. If it's static, it's not
    accessible from outside the compilation unit, so should bot be exported.

    These three changes allow building a zx1_defconfig kernel with gcc 4.2
    on IA64.

  • First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
    function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
    mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

    This patch
    a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
    b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
    c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
    d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
    e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
    getting them indirectly

    Net result is:
    a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
    they don't need sched.h
    b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
    on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
    after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

  • Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
    frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
    special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
    subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
    related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This
    patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
    suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the
    CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
    (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
    ones).

  • - move some file_operations structs into the .rodata section

    - move static strings from policy_types[] array into the .rodata section

    - fix generic seq_operations usages, so that those structs may be defined
    as "const" as well

  • There was lots of #ifdef noise in the kernel due to hotcpu_notifier(fn,
    prio) not correctly marking 'fn' as used in the !HOTPLUG_CPU case, and thus
    generating compiler warnings of unused symbols, hence forcing people to add
    #ifdefs.

    the compiler can skip truly unused functions just fine:
