2009-09-21ixp4xx: arch_idle() documentation fixupMikael Pettersson
The body of the mach-ixp4xx arch_idle() is mysteriously disabled by an #if 0 .. #endif. Normally one would expect to find a call to cpu_do_idle() there, but that call is disabled, even though cpu_do_idle() is implemented for XScale cores (and ixp4xx is one). The explanation can be found in the ixp42x developer's manual which states that the XScale core clock and power management registers aren't implemented on ixp42x [3.5.2.2]. Also, the disabled code has suffered from bit rot: - it checks hlt_counter which is obsolete, as that variable and all related code now is private to kernel/process.c - it passes too many parameters to cpu_do_idle() So this patch: - adds a comment before the #if 0 to explain why cpu_do_idle() mustn't be called on ixp4xx - removes the obsolete test of hlt_counter and the obsolete parameter to cpu_do_idle() This is purely a documentation fixup and changes no generated code. Even so, it has been tested on an ixp420 machine (ds101). Signed-off-by: Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@it.uu.se> Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Hałasa <khc@pm.waw.pl>
2009-09-21ixp4xx: timer and clocks cleanupsMikael Pettersson
This patch does a few simple cleanups of the ixp4xx timer and clocksource/clockevent code in mach-ixp4xx/common.c: - ixp4xx_clocksource_init() is static and always returns 0, which is ignored by its only caller: make it return void - ixp4xx_clockevent_init(): ditto - ixp4xx_get_cycles() is only referenced locally: make it static - use the ixp4xx_timer_irq.dev_id field to pass &clockevent_ixp4xx to ixp4xx_timer_interrupt() via its dev_id parameter, allowing the code in ixp4xx_timer_interrupt() to be smaller and faster Tested on an ixp420 machine (ds101).

2009-09-21ARM: 5715/1: Make kprobes unregistration SMP safeFrederic Riss
ARM kprobes use an illegal instruction to trigger kprobes. In the current implementation, there's a race between the unregistration of a kprobe and the illegal instruction exception handler if they run at the same time on different cores. When reading the value of the undefined instruction, the exception handler might get the original legal instruction as just patched concurrently by arch_disarm_kprobe(). When this happen the kprobe handler won't run, and thus the exception handler will oops because it believe it just hit an undefined instruction in kernel space. The following patch synchronizes the code patching in the kprobes unregistration using stop_machine and thus avoids the above race.

2009-09-21trivial: doc: hpfall: reduce risk that hpfall can do harmChristian Thaeter
Improve the example code to be at least useable, as in not causing harm (as shown below). Code can still be improved further, but this adds some basic safeguards. 1. hpfall *MUST* mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE); itself! Since the Program sits and waits most of the time it becomes very likely swapped out. If it gets woken up when the laptop drops from the table while it is swapped out it actually triggers harddrive activity! 2. Daemonize hpfall using 'daemon(0,0)' (quick and dirty). 3. Give hpfall realtime priority. Should give a chance that it has less latency when woken up.
