alpha: AGP update (fixes compile failure)

2009-10-05T16:31:39+00:00

commit d68721eb339e9237c11c1fea5f73f86211d14918 upstream.

This brings Alpha AGP platforms in sync with the change to struct
agp_memory (unsigned long *memory => struct page **pages).

Only compile tested (I don't have titan/marvel hardware), but this change
looks pretty straightforward, so hopefully it's ok.

headers: smp_lock.h redux

2009-07-12T19:22:34+00:00

* Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!)
* Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it
* Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h
  It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT

  This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config
  (which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW)

alpha: bad macro expansion, parameter is member

2009-06-17T02:47:46+00:00

`for_each_mem_cluster(x, y, z)' will expand to
`for ((x) = (y)->x ...' but correct is `for ((x) = (y)->cluster ...'

alpha: remove obsolete hw_interrupt_type

2009-06-17T02:47:46+00:00

The defines and typedefs (hw_interrupt_type, no_irq_type, irq_desc_t) have
been kept around for migration reasons.  After more than two years it's
time to remove them finally.

This patch cleans up one of the remaining users.  When all such patches
hit mainline we can remove the defines and typedefs finally.

Impact: cleanup

Convert the last remaining users to struct irq_chip and remove the
define.

mm: consolidate init_mm definition

2009-06-17T02:47:28+00:00

* create mm/init-mm.c, move init_mm there
* remove INIT_MM, initialize init_mm with C99 initializer
* unexport init_mm on all arches:

  init_mm is already unexported on x86.

  One strange place is some OMAP driver (drivers/video/omap/) which
  won't build modular, but it's already wants get_vm_area() export.
  Somebody should look there.

time: move PIT_TICK_RATE to linux/timex.h

2009-06-17T02:47:27+00:00

PIT_TICK_RATE is currently defined in four architectures, but in three
different places.  While linux/timex.h is not the perfect place for it, it
is still a reasonable replacement for those drivers that traditionally use
asm/timex.h to get CLOCK_TICK_RATE and expect it to be the PIT frequency.

Note that for Alpha, the actual value changed from 1193182UL to 1193180UL.
 This is unlikely to make a difference, and probably can only improve
accuracy.  There was a discussion on the correct value of CLOCK_TICK_RATE
a few years ago, after which every existing instance was getting changed
to 1193182.  According to the specification, it should be
1193181.818181...

Merge branch 'x86/apic' into irq/numa

2009-05-12T10:17:36+00:00

Merge reason: both topics modify the APIC code but were able to do it in
              parallel so far. An upcoming patch generates a conflict so
              merge them to avoid the conflict.

alpha: binfmt_aout fix

2009-05-02T22:36:10+00:00

This fixes the problem introduced by commit 3bfacef412 (get rid of
special-casing the /sbin/loader on alpha): osf/1 ecoff binary segfaults
when binfmt_aout built as module.  That happens because aout binary
handler gets on the top of the binfmt list due to late registration, and
kernel attempts to execute the binary without preparatory work that must
be done by binfmt_loader.

Fixed by changing the registration order of the default binfmt handlers
using list_add_tail() and introducing insert_binfmt() function which
places new handler on the top of the binfmt list.  This might be generally
useful for installing arch-specific frontends for default handlers or just
for overriding them.
