  • 5dfe4c964   [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 2 ... Browse Code »

    Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
    moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
    dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
    these shared resources.

    Bug: pnx8550 code creates directory but resets ->nlink to 1.

    create_proc_entry() et al will correctly set ->nlink for you.

  • 68402ddc6   [PATCH] mm: remove VM_LOCKED before remap_pfn_range and drop VM_SHM ... Browse Code »

    Remove VM_LOCKED before remap_pfn range from device drivers and get rid of
    VM_SHM.

    remap_pfn_range() already sets VM_IO. There is no need to set VM_SHM since
    it does nothing. VM_LOCKED is of no use since the remap_pfn_range does not
    place pages on the LRU. The pages are therefore never subject to swap
    anyways. Remove all the vm_flags settings before calling remap_pfn_range.

    After removing all the vm_flag settings no use of VM_SHM is left. Drop it.

  • e8222502e   [PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbers ... Browse Code »

    This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
    powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this,
    board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
    macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
    device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.

    We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
    _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also
    changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
    _machine.

  • a7f290dad   [PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernel ... Browse Code »
    2

    This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32
    bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds
    some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with
    support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same
    clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency.

    Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits
    returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever
    add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't
    have to change.

    I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and
    ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a
    64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was
    tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions.

  • d3d2176a0   [PATCH] powerpc: Move more ppc64 files with no ppc32 equivalent to powerpc ... Browse Code »

    This patch moves a bunch more files from arch/ppc64 and
    include/asm-ppc64 which have no equivalents in ppc32 code into
    arch/powerpc and include/asm-powerpc. The file affected are:
    hvcall.h
    proc_ppc64.c
    sysfs.c
    lparcfg.c
    rtas_pci.c

    The only changes apart from the move and corresponding Makefile
    changes are:
    - #ifndef/#define in includes updated to _ASM_POWERPC_ form
    - trailing whitespace removed
    - comments giving full paths removed

    Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64), built
    for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc).
