The DMA-API documentation sometimes refers to "physical addresses" when it
really means "bus addresses." Sometimes these are identical, but they may
be different if the bridge leading to the bus performs address translation.
Update the documentation to use "bus address" when appropriate.Also, consistently capitalize "DMA", use parens with function names, use
dev_printk() in examples, and reword a few sections for clarity.No functional change; documentation changes only.

test_set_oom_score_adj() and compare_swap_oom_score_adj() are used to
specify that current should be killed first if an oom condition occurs in
between the two calls.The usage is
short oom_score_adj = test_set_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX);
...
compare_swap_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX, oom_score_adj);to store the thread's oom_score_adj, temporarily change it to the maximum
score possible, and then restore the old value if it is still the same.This happens to still be racy, however, if the user writes
OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX to /proc/pid/oom_score_adj in between the two calls.
The compare_swap_oom_score_adj() will then incorrectly reset the old value
prior to the write of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX.To fix this, introduce a new oom_flags_t member in struct signal_struct
that will be used for per-thread oom killer flags. KSM and swapoff can
now use a bit in this member to specify that threads should be killed
first in oom conditions without playing around with oom_score_adj.This also allows the correct oom_score_adj to always be shown when reading
/proc/pid/oom_score.Signed-off-by: David Rientjes

Take a first step towards untangling Linux kernel header files by
placing the struct rcu_head definition into include/linux/types.h
and including include/linux/types.h in include/linux/rcupdate.h
where struct rcu_head used to be defined. The actual inclusion point
for include/linux/types.h is with the rest of the #include directives
rather than at the point where struct rcu_head used to be defined,
as suggested by Mathieu Desnoyers.Once this is in place, then header files that need only rcu_head
can include types.h rather than rcupdate.h.Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

We currently have a kernel internal type called aligned_u64 which aligns
__u64's on 8 bytes boundaries even on systems which would normally align
them on 4 byte boundaries. This patch creates a new type __aligned_u64
which does the same thing but which is exposed to userspace rather than
being kernel internal.[akpm: merge early as both the net and audit trees want this]
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: enhance the comment describing the reasons for using aligned_u64. Via Andreas and Andi.]

This allows a list_head (or hlist_head, etc.) to be used from places
that used to be impractical, in particular , which
used to cause include file recursion: includes
, which always includes for the
prefetch macros, as well as , which often includes
directly or indirectly.This avoids a lot of painful workaround hackery on the tile
architecture, where we use a list_head in the thread_struct to chain
together tasks that are activated on a particular hardwall.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

ago, but commit ea435467500612636f8f4fb639ff6e76b2496e4b (atomic_t: unify all

Use of ptrdiff_t in places like
- if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, u_tmp->rx_buf, u_tmp->len))
+ if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, (u8 __user *)
+ (ptrdiff_t) u_tmp->rx_buf,
+ u_tmp->len))is wrong; for one thing, it's a bad C (it's what uintptr_t is for; in general
we are not even promised that ptrdiff_t is large enough to hold a pointer,
just enough to hold a difference between two pointers within the same object).
For another, it confuses the fsck out of sparse.Use unsigned long or uintptr_t instead. There are several places misusing
ptrdiff_t; fixed.Signed-off-by: Al Viro
