tile: normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds

2013-07-03T23:07:34+00:00

Normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds to conform usage
guidelines from include/asm-generic/sections.h.

1) Use _text to mark the start of the kernel image including the head
text, and _stext to mark the start of the .text section.
2) Export mandatory global variables __init_begin and __init_end.

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"

sched: Rename sched.c as sched/core.c in comments and Documentation

2013-06-19T10:58:42+00:00

Most of the stuff from kernel/sched.c was moved to kernel/sched/core.c long time
back and the comments/Documentation never got updated.

I figured it out when I was going through sched-domains.txt and so thought of
fixing it globally.

I haven't crossed check if the stuff that is referenced in sched/core.c by all
these files is still present and hasn't changed as that wasn't the motive behind
this patch.

Kconfig: consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS

2013-05-01T00:04:09+00:00

The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and
s390 Kconfig.debug files.  Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was
slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this
option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc.

To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug
and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to
this config.

Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option
enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit
warnings vs.  ones which emit errors.  The details of how an
architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the
concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls.

While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code
that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any
architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

  this went through a number of review and test iterations before it was
  committed, it was tested on various architectures, was exposed to
  linux-next for quite some time - nevertheless it might cause problems
  on architectures that don't read the mailing lists and don't regularly
  test linux-next.

  This cat herding excercise was motivated by the -rt kernel, and was
  brought to you by Thomas "the Whip" Gleixner."

mm/hugetlb: add more arch-defined huge_pte functions

2013-04-29T22:54:33+00:00

Commit abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement software dirty bits")
introduced another difference in the pte layout vs.  the pmd layout on
s390, thoroughly breaking the s390 support for hugetlbfs.  This requires
replacing some more pte_xxx functions in mm/hugetlbfs.c with a
huge_pte_xxx version.

This patch introduces those huge_pte_xxx functions and their generic
implementation in asm-generic/hugetlb.h, which will now be included on
all architectures supporting hugetlbfs apart from s390.  This change
will be a no-op for those architectures.
