microblaze: fix clone syscall

2013-08-14T00:57:48+00:00

Fix inadvertent breakage in the clone syscall ABI for Microblaze that
was introduced in commit f3268edbe6fe ("microblaze: switch to generic
fork/vfork/clone").

The Microblaze syscall ABI for clone takes the parent tid address in the
4th argument; the third argument slot is used for the stack size.  The
incorrectly-used CLONE_BACKWARDS type assigned parent tid to the 3rd
slot.

This commit restores the original ABI so that existing userspace libc
code will work correctly.

All kernel versions from v3.8-rc1 were affected.

Merge branch 'next' of git://git.monstr.eu/linux-2.6-microblaze

Pull microblaze update from Michal Simek:
 "This Microblaze merge window is quite minimal.

  I have also added to my branch one xilinx systemace sparse fix because
  haven't got any reply from block maintainer."

* 'next' of git://git.monstr.eu/linux-2.6-microblaze:
  xilinx systemace: Fix sparse warnings
  microblaze: Move __NR_syscalls from uapi
  microblaze: Enable KGDB in defconfig
  microblaze: Don't mark arch_kgdb_ops as const.

microblaze: Move __NR_syscalls from uapi

2013-07-10T05:32:09+00:00

The reason is that other applications like strace
think that every __NR_xx is syscall.
Also __NR_syscalls is not used by user applications/libs.

mm: concentrate modification of totalram_pages into the mm core

2013-07-03T23:07:33+00:00

Concentrate code to modify totalram_pages into the mm core, so the arch
memory initialized code doesn't need to take care of it.  With these
changes applied, only following functions from mm core modify global
variable totalram_pages: free_bootmem_late(), free_all_bootmem(),
free_all_bootmem_node(), adjust_managed_page_count().

With this patch applied, it will be much more easier for us to keep
totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence.

mm: enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning memory with zero

2013-07-03T23:07:32+00:00

Address more review comments from last round of code review.
1) Enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning freed memory with
   pattern '0'. This could be used to get rid of poison_init_mem()
   on ARM64.
2) A previous patch has disabled memory poison for initmem on s390
   by mistake, so restore to the original behavior.
3) Remove redundant PAGE_ALIGN() when calling free_reserved_area().

Merge branch 'sched-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2013-07-02T23:19:24+00:00

Pull voluntary preemption fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree contains a speedup which is achieved through better
  might_sleep()/might_fault() preemption point annotations for uaccess
  functions, by Michael S Tsirkin:

  1. The only reason uaccess routines might sleep is if they fault.
     Make this explicit for all architectures.

  2. A voluntary preemption point in uaccess functions means compiler
     can't inline them efficiently, this breaks assumptions that they
     are very fast and small that e.g.  net code seems to make.  Remove
     this preemption point so behaviour matches with what callers
     assume.

  3. Accesses (e.g through socket ops) to kernel memory with KERNEL_DS
     like net/sunrpc does will never sleep.  Remove an unconditinal
     might_sleep() in the might_fault() inline in kernel.h (used when
     PROVE_LOCKING is not set).

  4. Accesses with pagefault_disable() return EFAULT but won't cause
     caller to sleep.  Check for that and thus avoid might_sleep() when
     PROVE_LOCKING is set.

  These changes offer a nice speedup for CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y
  kernels, here's a network bandwidth measurement between a virtual
  machine and the host:

   before:
        incoming: 7122.77   Mb/s
        outgoing: 8480.37   Mb/s

   after:
        incoming: 8619.24   Mb/s   [ +21.0% ]
        outgoing: 9455.42   Mb/s   [ +11.5% ]

  I kept these changes in a separate tree, separate from scheduler
  changes, because it's a mixed MM and scheduler topic"
