* uml: remove page_size()Jeff Dike2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | userspace code used to have to call the kernelspace function page_size() in order to determine the value of the kernel's PAGE_SIZE. Since this is now available directly from kern_constants.h as UM_KERN_PAGE_SIZE, page_size() can be deleted and calls changed to use the constant.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clean up arch/um/kernel/process.c: - lots of return(x); -> return x; conversions - a number of the small functions are either unused, in which case they are gone, along any declarations in a header, or could be made static. - current_pid is ifdefed on CONFIG_MODE_TT and its declaration is ifdefed on both CONFIG_MODE_TT and UML_CONFIG_MODE_TT because we don't know whether it's being used in a userspace or kernel file.

* uml: speed up execJeff Dike2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | flush_thread doesn't need to do a full page table walk in order to clear the address space. It knows what the end result needs to be, so it can call unmap directly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch narrows the sigio interface. The boot-time SIGIO testing used to be in start_up.c, which meant that pty_output_sigio and pty_close_sigio needed to be global. By moving that code here, those can become static and the declarations moved from user_util.h. os_check_bugs is also here because it only does the SIGIO checking.

* uml: network interface hotplug error handlingJeff Dike2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a number of problems associated with network interface hotplug. The userspace initialization function can fail in some cases, but the failure was never passed back to eth_configure, which proceeded with the configuration. This results in a zombie device that is present, but can't work. This is fixed by allowing the initialization routines to return an error, which is checked, and the configuration aborted on failure. eth_configure failed to check for many failures. Even when it did check, it didn't undo whatever initializations has already happened, so a present, but partially initialized and non-working device could result. It now checks everything that can fail, and bails out, undoing whatever had been done. The return value of eth_configure was always ignored, so it is now just void.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a disk fails to open, i.e. its host file doesn't exist, it won't be removable because the hot-unplug code checks the existence of its gendisk. This won't exist because it is only allocated for successfully opened disks. Thus, a typo on the command line can result in a unusable and unfixable disk. This is fixed by freeing the gendisk if it's there, but not letting that affect the removal.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make swsusp use memory bitmaps instead of page flags for marking 'nosave' and free pages. This allows us to 'recycle' two page flags that can be used for other purposes. Also, the memory needed to store the bitmaps is allocated when necessary (ie. before the suspend) and freed after the resume which is more reasonable. The patch is designed to minimize the amount of changes and there are some nice simplifications and optimizations possible on top of it. I am going to implement them separately in the future.

Tinyboards. The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in December of 2000. Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin processor family of devices. The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean, orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set. It combines a dual-MAC (Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single instruction-set architecture. The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdf The Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at: http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete documentation, including "getting started" guides available at: http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for bfin-linux-uclibc This patch, as well as the other patches (toolchain, distribution, uClibc) are actively supported by Analog Devices Inc, at: http://blackfin.uclinux.org/ We have tested this on LTP, and our test plan (including pass/fails) can be found at: http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=testing_the_linux_kernel [m.kozlowski@tuxland.pl: balance parenthesis in blackfin header files] Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Mariusz Kozlowski <m.kozlowski@tuxland.pl> Signed-off-by: Aubrey Li <aubrey.li@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Jie Zhang <jie.zhang@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.

* get_unmapped_area handles MAP_FIXED on powerpcBenjamin Herrenschmidt2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current get_unmapped_area code calls the f_ops->get_unmapped_area or the arch one (via the mm) only when MAP_FIXED is not passed. That makes it impossible for archs to impose proper constraints on regions of the virtual address space. To work around that, get_unmapped_area() then calls some hugetlbfs specific hacks. This cause several problems, among others: - It makes it impossible for a driver or filesystem to do the same thing that hugetlbfs does (for example, to allow a driver to use larger page sizes to map external hardware) if that requires applying a constraint on the addresses (constraining that mapping in certain regions and other mappings out of those regions). - Some archs like arm, mips, sparc, sparc64, sh and sh64 already want MAP_FIXED to be passed down in order to deal with aliasing issues. The code is there to handle it... but is never called. This series of patches moves the logic to handle MAP_FIXED down to the various arch/driver get_unmapped_area() implementations, and then changes the generic code to always call them. The hugetlbfs hacks then disappear from the generic code. Since I need to do some special 64K pages mappings for SPEs on cell, I need to work around the first problem at least. I have further patches thus implementing a "slices" layer that handles multiple page sizes through slices of the address space for use by hugetlbfs, the SPE code, and possibly others, but it requires that serie of patches first/ There is still a potential (but not practical) issue due to the fact that filesystems/drivers implemeting g_u_a will effectively bypass all arch checks. This is not an issue in practice as the only filesystems/drivers using that hook are doing so for arch specific purposes in the first place. There is also a problem with mremap that will completely bypass all arch checks. I'll try to address that separately, I'm not 100% certain yet how, possibly by making it not work when the vma has a file whose f_ops has a get_unmapped_area callback, and by making it use is_hugepage_only_range() before expanding into a new area. Also, I want to turn is_hugepage_only_range() into a more generic is_normal_page_range() as that's really what it will end up meaning when used in stack grow, brk grow and mremap. None of the above "issues" however are introduced by this patch, they are already there, so I think the patch can go ini for 2.6.22. This patch: Handle MAP_FIXED in powerpc's arch_get_unmapped_area() in all 3 implementations of it.

* slab allocators: remove multiple alignment specificationsChristoph Lameter2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | It is not necessary to tell the slab allocators to align to a cacheline if an explicit alignment was already specified. It is rather confusing to specify multiple alignments. Make sure that the call sites only use one form of alignment.

* slab allocators: Remove obsolete SLAB_MUST_HWCACHE_ALIGNChristoph Lameter2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch was recently posted to lkml and acked by Pekka. The flag SLAB_MUST_HWCACHE_ALIGN is 1. Never checked by SLAB at all. 2. A duplicate of SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN for SLUB 3. Fulfills the role of SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN for SLOB. The only remaining use is in sparc64 and ppc64 and their use there reflects some earlier role that the slab flag once may have had. If its specified then SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN is also specified. The flag is confusing, inconsistent and has no purpose. Remove it.
