dma-mapping: always provide the dma_map_ops based implementation

2016-01-21T01:09:18+00:00

Move the generic implementation to  now that all
architectures support it and remove the HAVE_DMA_ATTR Kconfig symbol now
that everyone supports them.

Kconfig: remove HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT

2016-01-16T19:17:23+00:00

As illustrated by commit a3afe70b83fd ("[S390] latencytop s390
support."), HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT is defined by an architecture to
advertise an implementation of save_stack_trace_tsk.

However, as of 9212ddb5eada ("stacktrace: provide save_stack_trace_tsk()
weak alias") a dummy implementation is provided if STACKTRACE=y.  Given
that LATENCYTOP already depends on STACKTRACE_SUPPORT and selects
STACKTRACE, we can remove HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT altogether.

Pull livepatching updates from Jiri Kosina:

 - RO/NX attribute fixes for patch module relocations from Josh
   Poimboeuf.  As part of this effort, module.c has been cleaned up as
   well and livepatching is piggy-backing on this cleanup.  Rusty is OK
   with this whole lot going through livepatching tree.

 - symbol disambiguation support from Chris J Arges.  That series is
   also

        Reviewed-by: Miroslav Benes 

   but this came in only after I've alredy pushed out.  Didn't want to
   rebase because of that, hence I am mentioning it here.

metag: define __smp_xxx

2016-01-12T18:46:55+00:00

This defines __smp_xxx barriers for metag,
for use by virtualization.

smp_xxx barriers are removed as they are
defined correctly by asm-generic/barriers.h

Note: as __smp_XX macros should not depend on CONFIG_SMP, they can not
use the existing fence() macro since that is defined differently between
SMP and !SMP.  For this reason, this patch introduces a wrapper
metag_fence() that doesn't depend on CONFIG_SMP.
fence() is then defined using that, depending on CONFIG_SMP.

metag: reuse asm-generic/barrier.h

2016-01-12T18:46:50+00:00

On metag dma_rmb, dma_wmb, smp_store_mb, read_barrier_depends,
smp_read_barrier_depends, smp_store_release and smp_load_acquire  match
the asm-generic variants exactly. Drop the local definitions and pull in
asm-generic/barrier.h instead.

This is in preparation to refactoring this code area.

metag: ftrace: Fix the comments for ftrace_modify_code

2015-12-23T19:27:25+00:00

There is no need to worry about module and __init text disappearing
case, because that ftrace has a module notifier that is called when
a module is being unloaded and before the text goes away and this
code grabs the ftrace_lock mutex and removes the module functions
from the ftrace list, such that it will no longer do any
modifications to that module's text, the update to make functions
be traced or not is done under the ftrace_lock mutex as well.
And by now, __init section codes should not been modified
by ftrace, because it is black listed in recordmcount.c and
ignored by ftrace.

module: use a structure to encapsulate layout.

2015-12-04T21:46:25+00:00

Makes it easier to handle init vs core cleanly, though the change is
fairly invasive across random architectures.

It simplifies the rbtree code immediately, however, while keeping the
core data together in the same cachline (now iff the rbtree code is
enabled).
