2010-07-23vmlinux.lds: fix .data..init_task output section (fix popwerpc boot)Sam Ravnborg
The .data..init_task output section was missing a load offset causing a popwerpc target to fail to boot. Sean MacLennan tracked it down to the definition of INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION(). There are only two users of INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION() in the kernel today: cris and popwerpc. cris do not support relocatable kernels and is thus not impacted by this change. Fix INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION() to specify load offset like all other output sections.

2010-07-20tracing: Properly align linker defined symbolsSam Ravnborg
We define a number of symbols in the linker scipt like this: __start_syscalls_metadata = .; *(__syscalls_metadata) But we do not know the alignment of "." when we assign the __start_syscalls_metadata symbol. gcc started to uses bigger alignment for structs (32 bytes), so we saw situations where the linker due to alignment constraints increased the value of "." after the symbol assignment. This resulted in boot fails. Fix this by forcing a 32 byte alignment of "." before the assignment. This patch introduces the forced alignment for ftrace_events and syscalls_metadata. It may be required in more places.

2010-05-27numa: introduce numa_mem_id()- effective local memory node idLee Schermerhorn
Introduce numa_mem_id(), based on generic percpu variable infrastructure to track "nearest node with memory" for archs that support memoryless nodes. Define API in <linux/topology.h> when CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES defined, else stubs. Architectures will define HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES if/when they support them. Archs can override definitions of: numa_mem_id() - returns node number of "local memory" node set_numa_mem() - initialize [this cpus'] per cpu variable 'numa_mem' cpu_to_mem() - return numa_mem for specified cpu; may be used as lvalue Generic initialization of 'numa_mem' occurs in __build_all_zonelists(). This will initialize the boot cpu at boot time, and all cpus on change of numa_zonelist_order, or when node or memory hot-plug requires zonelist rebuild. Archs that support memoryless nodes will need to initialize 'numa_mem' for secondary cpus as they're brought on-line.

This is the first half of the attempt to use asm-generic/scatterlist.h on every architecture. There are only two ways to define scatterlist structure. So it's easy to convert every architecture to use asm-generic/scatterlist.h. This patch: The trick for ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD in asm-generic/scatterlist.h doesn't work for powerpc.

2010-05-27gpiolib: introduce set_debounce methodFelipe Balbi
A few architectures, like OMAP, allow you to set a debouncing time for the gpio before generating the IRQ. Teach gpiolib about that. Mark said: : This would be generally useful for embedded systems, especially where : the interrupt concerned is a wake source. It allows drivers to avoid : spurious interrupts from noisy sources so if the hardware supports it : the driver can avoid having to explicitly wait for the signal to become : stable and software has to cope with fewer events. We've lived without : it for quite some time, though. David said: : I looked at adding debounce support to the generic GPIO calls (and thus : gpiolib) some time back, but decided against it. I forget why at this : time (check list archives) but it wasn't because of lack of utility in : certain contexts. : : One thing to watch out for is just how variable the hardware capabilities : are. Atmel GPIOs have something like a fixed number of 32K clock cycles : for debounce, twl4030 had something odd, OMAPs were more like the Atmel : chips but with a different clock. In some cases debouncing had to be : ganged, not per-GPIO. And so forth.

2010-05-25asm-generic: don't warn that atomic_t is only 24 bitPeter Fritzsche
32-bit Sparc used to only allow usage of 24-bit of it's atomic_t type. This was corrected with linux 2.6.3 when Keith M Wesolowski changed the implementation to use the parisc approach of having an array of spinlocks to protect the atomic_t. These warnings were also removed from the sparc implementation when the new implementation was merged in BKrev:402e4949VThdc6D3iaosSFUgabMfvw, but the warning still remained in some other places without any 24-bit-only atomic_t implementation inside the kernel. We should remove these warnings to allow users to rely on the full 32-bit range of atomic_t.

2010-05-19panic: Allow warnings to set different taint flagsBen Hutchings
WARN() is used in some places to report firmware or hardware bugs that are then worked-around. These bugs do not affect the stability of the kernel and should not set the flag for TAINT_WARN. To allow for this, add WARN_TAINT() and WARN_TAINT_ONCE() macros that take a taint number as argument. Architectures that implement warnings using trap instructions instead of calls to warn_slowpath_*() now implement __WARN_TAINT(taint) instead of __WARN().

Commit 70867453092297be9afb2249e712a1f960ec0a09 ("printk_once(): use bool for boolean flag") changed printk_once() to use bool instead of int for its guard variable. Do the same change to WARN_ONCE() and WARN_ON_ONCE(), for the same reasons. This resulted in a reduction of 1462 bytes on a x86-64 defconfig: text data bss dec hex filename 8101271 1207116 992764 10301151 9d2edf vmlinux.before 8100553 1207148 991988 10299689 9d2929 vmlinux.after Signed-off-by: Cesar Eduardo Barros <cesarb@cesarb.net> Cc: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com> Cc: Daniel Walker <dwalker@fifo99.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-12-15nommu: fix malloc performance by adding uninitialized flagJie Zhang
The NOMMU code currently clears all anonymous mmapped memory. While this is what we want in the default case, all memory allocation from userspace under NOMMU has to go through this interface, including malloc() which is allowed to return uninitialized memory. This can easily be a significant performance penalty. So for constrained embedded systems were security is irrelevant, allow people to avoid clearing memory unnecessarily. This also alters the ELF-FDPIC binfmt such that it obtains uninitialised memory for the brk and stack region.

2009-12-15module: make MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX into a CONFIG optionAlan Jenkins
The next commit will require the use of MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX in .tmp_exports-asm.S. Currently it is mixed in with C structure definitions in "asm/module.h". Move the definition of this arch option into Kconfig, so it can be easily accessed by any code. This also lets modpost.c use the same definition. Previously modpost relied on a hardcoded list of architectures in mk_elfconfig.c. A build test for blackfin, one of the two MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX archs, showed the generated code was unchanged. vmlinux was identical save for build ids, and an apparently randomized suffix on a single "__key" symbol in the kallsyms data).

2009-12-14locking: Convert raw_spinlock to arch_spinlockThomas Gleixner
The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt. Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin, atomic_spin or whatever No functional change.
