Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions

2010-04-01T22:55:56+00:00

commit 221af7f87b97431e3ee21ce4b0e77d5411cf1549 upstream.

'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and
it is pretty badly misnamed.  It doesn't just flush the old executable
environment, it also starts up the new one.

Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new
personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting
of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new
personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails.

As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this
insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit
(TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the
personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do
the actual personality magic.

This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the
'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail
(still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set
up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()).  All callers are changed
to trivially comply with the new world order.

sh: sh7724 ddr self-refresh changes

2009-08-15T03:58:50+00:00

This patch updates the SuperH Mobile sleep assembly code with
support for DBSC memory controller found in the sh7724 processor.

Without this fix the memory hooked up to the sh7724 processor
will never enter self-refresh mode before suspending to ram. The
effect of this is that the memory contents most likeley will be
lost upon resume which may or may not be what you want.

sh: use in-soc KEYSC on se7724

2009-08-15T03:58:47+00:00

This patch updates the Solution Engine 7724 board code to use
in-SoC KEYSC resources for the keyboard platform device. Using
the in-SoC key scan controller fixes a crash-during-resume issue.

Without this patch the KEYSC hardware block located in the board
specific FPGA is used together with an external IRQ which is
routed through the FPGA and handled by some board specific demux
code. This board specific FPGA interrupt code does not implement
desc->set_wake() so the enable_irq_wake() call in the sh_keysc
driver will fail at suspend-to-ram time and the disable_irq_wake()
will bomb out when resuming.

Changing the platform data to use the in-SoC KEYSC hardware makes
the se7724 board support code less special which is a good thing.
Also, the board specific KEYSC pin setup code selects in-SoC pin
functions already which makes the current FPGA platform device data
look like a typo.

sh: convert processor device setup functions to arch_initcall()

2009-08-13T02:36:33+00:00

Convert the processor platform device setup
functions from __initcall() and sometimes
device_initcall() to arch_initcall().

This makes sure that the platform devices are
registered a bit earlier so the devices are
available when drivers register using initcall
levels earlier than device_initcall().

A good example is platform devices needed by
i2c-sh_mobile.c which registers a bit earlier
using subsys_initcall().

mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()

mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()

Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.

Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.

The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

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)

sched: INIT_PREEMPT_COUNT

2009-07-10T21:24:05+00:00

Pull the initial preempt_count value into a single
definition site.

Maintainers for: alpha, ia64 and m68k, please have a look,
your arch code is funny.

The header magic is a bit odd, but similar to the KERNEL_DS
one, CPP waits with expanding these macros until the
INIT_THREAD_INFO macro itself is expanded, which is in
arch/*/kernel/init_task.c where we've already included
sched.h so we're good.
