* [PATCH] reduce sizeof(struct file)Eric Dumazet2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that RCU applied on 'struct file' seems stable, we can place f_rcuhead in a memory location that is not anymore used at call_rcu(&f->f_rcuhead, file_free_rcu) time, to reduce the size of this critical kernel object. The trick I used is to move f_rcuhead and f_list in an union called f_u The callers are changed so that f_rcuhead becomes f_u.fu_rcuhead and f_list becomes f_u.f_list Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] lib/string.c cleanup: remove pointless register keywordJesper Juhl2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Removes a few pointless register keywords. register is merely a compiler hint that access to the variable should be optimized, but gcc (3.3.6 in my case) generates the exact same code with and without the keyword, and even if gcc did something different with register present I think it is doubtful we would want to optimize access to these variables - especially since this is generic library code and there are supposed to be optimized versions in asm/ for anything that really matters speed wise. (akpm: iirc, keyword register is a gcc no-op unless using -O0) Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] Don't uselessly export task_struct to userspace in core dumpsEric W. Biederman2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | task_struct is an internal structure to the kernel with a lot of good information, that is probably interesting in core dumps. However there is no way for user space to know what format that information is in making it useless. I grepped the GDB 6.3 source code and NT_TASKSTRUCT while defined is not used anywhere else. So I would be surprised if anyone notices it is missing. In addition exporting kernel pointers to all the interesting kernel data structures sounds like the very definition of an information leak. I haven't a clue what someone with evil intentions could do with that information, but in any attack against the kernel it looks like this is the perfect tool for aiming that attack. So since NT_TASKSTRUCT is useless as currently defined and is potentially dangerous, let's just not export it. (akpm: Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org> "would be amazed" if anything was using NT_TASKSTRUCT). Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove timer_list.magic and associated debugging code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the problem (BUG 4964) with unmapped buffers in transaction's t_sync_data list. The problem is we need to call filesystem's own invalidatepage() from block_write_full_page(). block_write_full_page() must call filesystem's invalidatepage(). Otherwise following nasty race can happen: proc 1 proc 2 ------ ------ - write some new data to 'offset' => bh gets to the transactions data list - starts truncate => i_size set to new size - mpage_writepages() - ext3_ordered_writepage() to 'offset' - block_write_full_page() - page->index > end_index+1 - block_invalidatepage() - discard_buffer() - clear_buffer_mapped() - commit triggers and finds unmapped buffer - BOOM!

* [PATCH] i386: use -mcpu, not -mtune, for GCCs older than 3.4Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I just noted that -mtune is used, which is only supported on recent GCCs; by reading http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html, you see "-mcpu has been renamed to -mtune.", so for GCC < 3.4 we're not using any specific tuning in the appropriate cases. However -mcpu is deprecated, so use -mtune when possible. This was introduced by commit e9d4dce954a60dc23dd1d967766ca2347b780e54 of the old tree (between 2.6.10-rc3 and 2.6.10) by Linus Torvalds, to remove the use of -march, since that could trigger gcc using SSE on its own. But no attention was used about using -mcpu vs. -mtune. And btw, the old 2.6.4 code (for instance) was: cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMII) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium2,-march=i686) cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMIII) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium3,-march=i686) cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMM) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium3,-march=i686) cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUM4) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium4,-march=i686) Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Also, UML relies on GCC optimization for things like memcpy and such more than i386, so specifying the correct -march and -mtune should be enough. Later, we may want to correct some other stuff. For instance, since FPU context switching, for us, is done (at least partially, i.e. between our kernelspace and userspace) by the host, we may allow usage of FPU operations by GCC. This doesn't hold for kernelspace vs. kernelspace, but we don't support preemption.

The patch does not change the code. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] swsusp: rework image freeingRafael J. Wysocki2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch makes swsusp use PG_nosave and PG_nosave_free flags to mark pages that should be freed after the state of the system has been restored from the image (or in case of an error during suspend). This allows us to avoid storing metadata in swap twice and to reduce the amount of memory needed by swsusp.  Additionally, it allows us to simplify the code by removing a couple of functions that are no longer necessary.

* [PATCH] create and destroy cpufreq sysfs entries based on cpu notifiersAshok Raj2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cpufreq entries in sysfs should only be populated when CPU is online state. When we either boot with maxcpus=x and then boot the other cpus by echoing to sysfs online file, these entries should be created and destroyed when CPU_DEAD is notified. Same treatement as cache entries under sysfs. We place the processor in the lowest frequency, so hw managed P-State transitions can still work on the other threads to save power. Primary goal was to just make these directories appear/disapper dynamically. There is one in this patch i had to do, which i really dont like myself but probably best if someone handling the cpufreq infrastructure could give this code right treatment if this is not acceptable. I guess its probably good for the first cut. - Converting lock_cpu_hotplug()/unlock_cpu_hotplug() to disable/enable preempt. The locking was smack in the middle of the notification path, when the hotplug is already holding the lock. I tried another solution to avoid this so avoid taking locks if we know we are from notification path. The solution was getting very ugly and i decided this was probably good for this iteration until someone who understands cpufreq could do a better job than me. (akpm: export cpucontrol to GPL modules: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.c now does lock_cpu_hotplug()) Signed-off-by: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Cc: Dave Jones <davej@codemonkey.org.uk> Cc: Zwane Mwaikambo <zwane@holomorphy.com> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] create and destroy cache sysfs entries based on cpu notifiersAshok Raj2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cpu cache entries should be populated only when cpu is online and removed when they are logically offlined. Without which entries are not removed when cpu is offlined, or dont appear when we boot with maxcpus=1 and then kick the rest of the cpus via echo 1 to the sysfs online file. - Changed __devinit to __cpuinit for consistency. - Changed sysfs_driver_register to register_cpu_notifier.

* [PATCH] introduce get_cpu_sysdev() to retrieve a sysfs entry for a cpu.Ashok Raj2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some modules creating sysfs entries under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/ need to know the parent sysfs entry to make devices under them. This will just return the sysfs entry for a given cpu. sysfs entries showing under each cpu sysfs can be easily created if such entries can be created by registering a sysfs driver for cpuclass. The issue is when the entry is created the CPU may not be online, hence we would need to defer the creation until the online notification comes. Current users: cache entries for Intel CPU's and cpufreq subsystem.
