* powerpc/mm: Add Strong Access Ordering supportDave Kleikamp2008-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow an application to enable Strong Access Ordering on specific pages of memory on Power 7 hardware. Currently, power has a weaker memory model than x86. Implementing a stronger memory model allows an emulator to more efficiently translate x86 code into power code, resulting in faster code execution. On Power 7 hardware, storing 0b1110 in the WIMG bits of the hpte enables strong access ordering mode for the memory page. This patchset allows a user to specify which pages are thus enabled by passing a new protection bit through mmap() and mprotect(). I have defined PROT_SAO to be 0x10.

* unified (weak) sys_pipe implementationUlrich Drepper2008-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with one unified implementation. This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated code. It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers) I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL isn't needed. The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really no obstacles. Signed-off-by: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* arch: Remove unnecessary inclusions of asm/semaphore.hMatthew Wilcox2008-04-18
| | | | | | | | | None of these files use any of the functionality promised by asm/semaphore.h. It's possible that they rely on it dragging in some unrelated header file, but I can't build all these files, so we'll have fix any build failures as they come up.

* remove include/asm-*/ipc.hAdrian Bunk2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | All asm/ipc.h files do only #include <asm-generic/ipc.h>. This patch therefore removes all include/asm-*/ipc.h files and moves the contents of include/asm-generic/ipc.h to include/linux/ipc.h.

* Remove fs.h from mm.hAlexey Dobriyan2007-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove fs.h from mm.h. For this, 1) Uninline vma_wants_writenotify(). It's pretty huge anyway. 2) Add back fs.h or less bloated headers (err.h) to files that need it. As result, on x86_64 allyesconfig, fs.h dependencies cut down from 3929 files rebuilt down to 3444 (-12.3%).

* [PATCH] powerpc: declare arch syscalls in <asm/syscalls.h>Arnd Bergmann2006-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | powerpc currently declares some of its own system calls in <asm/unistd.h>, but not all of them. That place also contains remainders of the now almost unused kernel syscall hack. - Add a new <asm/syscalls.h> with clean declarations - Include that file from every source that implements one of these - Get rid of old declarations in <asm/unistd.h> This patch is required as a base for implementing system calls from an SPU, but also makes sense as a general cleanup.

* [PATCH] ppc64: fix time syscallAnton Blanchard2006-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | ppc64 has its own version of sys_time. It looks pretty scary, touching a whole bunch of variables without any locking or memory ordering. In fact, a recent bugreport has shown it can actually go backwards. Time to remove it and just use the generic sys_time, which is implemented on top of do_gettimeofday.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Fix mmap returning 64 bit addressesMichael Ellerman2005-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The merge of syscalls.c & sys_ppc32.c (30286ef6e044bc3d9019c3d8b900572e3fa05e65) broke mmap, if the mmap returned a 64 bit address. do_mmap2 was taking the return value from do_mmap_pgoff (an unsigned long), and storing it in an int, before returning it to sys_mmap as an unsigned long. So we were losing the high bits of the address. You would have thought the compiler could catch this for us ...
