* [PATCH] mm: rename kmem_cache_s to kmem_cachePekka J Enberg2005-11-07

* [PATCH] slab: don't BUG on duplicated cacheAndrew Morton2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | slab presently goes BUG if someone tries to register an already-registered cache. But this can happen if the user accidentally loads a module which is already statically linked into the kernel. Nuking the kernel is rather a harsh reaction. Change it into a warning, and just fail the kmem_cache_alloc() attempt. If the module is well-behaved, the modprobe will fail and all is well. Notes: - Swaps the ranking of cache_chain_sem and lock_cpu_hotplug(). Doesn't seem important.

| | | | | | | | | | | The zImage wrapper has a bug where it doesn't claim() the memory for the kernel properly, it forgets to take into account the offset between the ELF header and the kernel itself.

* [PATCH] ppc64: Fix bug in SLB miss handler for hugepagesDavid Gibson2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch, however, should be applied on top of the 64k-page-size patch to fix some problems with hugepage (some pre-existing, another introduced by this patch). The patch fixes a bug in the SLB miss handler for hugepages on ppc64 introduced by the dynamic hugepage patch (commit id c594adad5653491813959277fb87a2fef54c4e05) due to a misunderstanding of the srd instruction's behaviour (mea culpa). The problem arises when a 64-bit process maps some hugepages in the low 4GB of the address space (unusual). In this case, as well as the 256M segment in question being marked for hugepages, other segments at 32G intervals will be incorrectly marked for hugepages. In the process, this patch tweaks the semantics of the hugepage bitmaps to be more sensible. Previously, an address below 4G was marked for hugepages if the appropriate segment bit in the "low areas" bitmask was set *or* if the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap was set (which would mark all addresses below 1TB for hugepage). With this patch, any given address is governed by a single bitmap. Addresses below 4GB are marked for hugepage if and only if their bit is set in the "low areas" bitmap (256M granularity). Addresses between 4GB and 1TB are marked for hugepage iff the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set. Higher addresses are marked for hugepage iff their bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set (1TB granularity). To avoid conflicts, this patch must be applied on top of BenH's pending patch for 64k base page size [0]. As such, this patch also addresses a hugepage problem introduced by that patch. That patch allows hugepages of 1MB in size on hardware which supports it, however, that won't work when using 4k pages (4 level pagetable), because in that case hugepage PTEs are stored at the PMD level, and each PMD entry maps 2MB. This patch simply disallows hugepages in that case (we can do something cleverer to re-enable them some other day). Built, booted, and a handful of hugepage related tests passed on POWER5 LPAR (both ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Include autoconf.h into every kernel compilation via the gcc command line using -imacros. This ensures that we have the kernel configuration included from the start, rather than relying on each file having #include <linux/config.h> as appropriate. History has shown that this is something which is difficult to get right. Since we now include the kernel configuration automatically, make configcheck becomes meaningless, so remove it.

The patch configures the CSR register closely following the directives in [1], paragraph 4.1, page 19. According to the considerations in [1], page 11, while the AHB bus supports both endian modes, on the IXP4XX it always uses big-endian. The PCI bus is connected to the South AHB. A wrong setting in the CSR register will thus cause a malfunctional PCI bus. A schematic diagram of the bus interconnections on the IXP4XX can be found in [1], page 18. The patch has been verified to work on the NSLU2 in both LE and BE modes. The author is Peter Korsgaard.

| * | [PATCH] drivers/net/wireless/airo.c unsigned comparasonGabriel A. Devenyi2005-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fid is declared as a u32 (unsigned int), and then a few lines later, it is checked for a value < 0, which is clearly useless. In the two locations this function is used, in one it is *explicitly* given a negative number, which would be ignored with the current definition. Thanks to LinuxICC (http://linuxicc.sf.net).
