mm/arch: use __free_reserved_page() to simplify the code

2013-11-13T03:09:03+00:00

Use __free_reserved_page() to simplify the code in arch.

It used split_page() in consistent_alloc()/__dma_alloc_coherent()/dma_alloc_coherent(),
so page->_count == 1, and we can free it safely.

__free_reserved_page()
	ClearPageReserved()
	init_page_count()  // it won't change the value
	__free_page()

Pull devicetree updates from Rob Herring:
"DeviceTree updates for 3.13. This is a bit larger pull request than
usual for this cycle with lots of clean-up.

- Cross arch clean-up and consolidation of early DT scanning code.
- Clean-up and removal of arch prom.h headers. Makes arch specific
prom.h optional on all but Sparc.
- Addition of interrupts-extended property for devices connected to
multiple interrupt controllers.
- Refactoring of DT interrupt parsing code in preparation for
deferred probe of interrupts.
- ARM cpu and cpu topology bindings documentation.
- Various DT vendor binding documentation updates"

Merge tag 'metag-for-v3.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jhogan/metag

2013-11-12T05:25:33+00:00

Pull metag architecture changes from James Hogan:
 - A change to remove the last dependence on bootloader exception
   handlers so that QEMU can more easily boot an SMP Linux/Meta kernel
   image directly.
 - A fix for a minor off by one error in a BUG_ON condition found by Dan
   Carpenter.

metag: handle low level kicks directly

2013-11-06T10:40:02+00:00

Kick interrupts trigger the LWK (low level kick) signal, usually handled
by the __TBIDoStdLWK() function which is the only handler inherited from
the bootloader. The LWK signal is converted either to a SWK (plain
software kick) or a SWS (software kick with an attached message).

Linux has kick_handler() to handle SWK and call registered kick handlers
(IPIs and inter-thread comms), but SWS is as far as I'm aware unused
with Linux.

Therefore remove that abstraction and have Linux handle LWK directly.
This will reduce kick latency slightly, and reduce our dependence on the
bootloader, which makes it easier to directly boot a kernel in QEMU
(particularly for SMP).

irq: Consolidate do_softirq() arch overriden implementations

2013-10-01T10:53:25+00:00

All arch overriden implementations of do_softirq() share the following
common code: disable irqs (to avoid races with the pending check),
check if there are softirqs pending, then execute __do_softirq() on
a specific stack.

Consolidate the common parts such that archs only worry about the
stack switch.

metag: delete __cpuinit usage from all metag files

2013-07-14T23:36:54+00:00

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the arch/metag uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files.  Currently metag does not have any __CPUINIT used in
assembly files.
