Randy cleaned out the bulk of these stale references to the now long gone
Documentation/smp.tex back in 2004. I followed this up with a few more
sweeps. Somehow, these have managed to sneak back in since.I can't seem to figure out a contact point for M32R (no one listed in
MAINTAINERS!), but, these patches are only but trivial.Signed-off-by: Arthur Othieno

This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code. It does the following
things:- consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code
- simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files
- encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.- cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.
Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
located in lib/spinlock_debug.c. (previously we had one SMP debugging
variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
write-owners. There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
spin/rwlock lockups.The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
lives in the generic headers:include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h | 16
include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h | 16I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:SMP | UP
----------------------------|-----------------------------------
asm/spinlock_types_smp.h | linux/spinlock_types_up.h
linux/spinlock_types.h | linux/spinlock_types.h
asm/spinlock_smp.h | linux/spinlock_up.h
linux/spinlock_api_smp.h | linux/spinlock_api_up.h
linux/spinlock.h | linux/spinlock.h/*
* here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files:
*
* on SMP builds:
*
* asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the
* initializers
*
* linux/spinlock_types.h:
* defines the generic type and initializers
*
* asm/spinlock.h: contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel
* implementations, mostly inline assembly code
*
* (also included on UP-debug builds:)
*
* linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:
* contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs.
*
* linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs.
*
* on UP builds:
*
* linux/spinlock_type_up.h:
* contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type.
* (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds)
*
* linux/spinlock_types.h:
* defines the generic type and initializers
*
* linux/spinlock_up.h:
* contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP
* builds. (which are NOPs on non-debug, non-preempt
* builds)
*
* (included on UP-non-debug builds:)
*
* linux/spinlock_api_up.h:
* builds the _spin_*() APIs.
*
* linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs.

arm, i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390/s390x, x64 was build-tested via
crosscompilers. m32r, mips, sh, sparc, have not been tested yet, but should
be mostly fine.From: Grant Grundler
Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU).
Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested). I did not try to build
non-SMP kernels. That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary.I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t. Doing so avoids
some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files. Those particular locks
are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code. I do NOT
expect any new issues to arise with them.If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will
need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops
that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW
(load and clear word).From: "Luck, Tony"

This fixes the problem with "Averatec 6240 pcmcia_socket0: unable to
apply power", which was due to the CardBus IOMEM register region being
allocated at an address that was actually inside the RAM window that had
been reserved for video frame-buffers in an UMA setup.The BIOS _should_ have marked that region reserved in the e820 memory
descriptor tables, but did not.It is fixed by rounding up the default starting address of PCI memory
allocations, so that we leave a bigger gap after the final known memory
location. The amount of rounding depends on how big the unused memory
gap is that we can allocate IOMEM from.Based on example code by Linus.

um has it own set of files for asm-offsets. So for now the
gen-asm-offset macro is just duplicated in the um Makefile.This may well be the final solution since um is a bit special compared
to other architectures - time will tell.Also added a dummy arch/um/kernel/asm-offsets.h file to keep kbuild happy.

Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds -
In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must
be updated atomically. Instead of ensuring this through too many memory
barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure. This
patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate
structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct. It also changes all
the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro. Subsequent
applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.Signed-off-by: Dipankar Sarma

For architecture like ia64, the switch stack structure is fairly large
(currently 528 bytes). For context switch intensive application, we found
that significant amount of cache misses occurs in switch_to() function.
The following patch adds a hook in the schedule() function to prefetch
switch stack structure as soon as 'next' task is determined. This allows
maximum overlap in prefetch cache lines for that structure.Signed-off-by: Ken Chen

arch/alpha/kernel/module.c:process_reloc_for_got(), which figures out how big
the .got section for a module should be, appears to be confusing r_offset (the
file offset that the relocation needs to be applied to) with r_addend (the
offset of the relocation's actual target address from the address of the
relocation's symbol). Because of this, one .got entry is allocated for each
relocation instead of one each unique symbol/addend.In the module I am working with, this causes the .got section to be almost 10
times larger than it needs to be (75544 bytes instead of 7608 bytes). As the
.got is accessed with global-pointer-relative instructions, it needs to be
within the 64k gp "zone", and a 75544 byte .got clearly does not fit. The
result of this is that relocation overflows are detected during module load
and the load is aborted.Change struct got_entry/process_reloc_for_got to fix this.

This is the same issue as ppc64 before, when returning to userland we
shouldn't re-compute the seccomp check or the task could be killed during
sigreturn when orig_eax is overwritten by the sigreturn syscall. This was
found by Roland.This was harmless from a security standpoint, but some i686 users reported
failures with auditing enabled system wide (some distro surprisingly makes
it the default) and I reproduced it too by keeping the whole workload under
strace -f.Patch is tested and works for me under strace -f.

The following patch changes the usages of PVR_440* into strcmp's with the

briefly tested long ago. One benefit of moving from PVR-tests to string
tests in general is that not all CPUs can be on and be able to do this type
of comparison.See http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?id=1250 for the original
