[PATCH] No arch-specific strpbrk implementations

2006-04-11T13:18:40+00:00

While cleaning up parisc_ksyms.c earlier, I noticed that strpbrk wasn't
being exported from lib/string.c.  Investigating further, I noticed a
changeset that removed its export and added it to _ksyms.c on a few more
architectures.  The justification was that "other arches do it."

I think this is wrong, since no architecture currently defines
__HAVE_ARCH_STRPBRK, there's no reason for any of them to be exporting it
themselves.  Therefore, consolidate the export to lib/string.c.

[PATCH] unify PFN_* macros

2006-03-27T16:44:48+00:00

Just about every architecture defines some macros to do operations on pfns.
 They're all virtually identical.  This patch consolidates all of them.

One minor glitch is that at least i386 uses them in a very skeletal header
file.  To keep away from #include dependency hell, I stuck the new
definitions in a new, isolated header.

Of all of the implementations, sh64 is the only one that varied by a bit.
It used some masks to ensure that any sign-extension got ripped away before
the arithmetic is done.  This has been posted to that sh64 maintainers and
the development list.

Compiles on x86, x86_64, ia64 and ppc64.

[PATCH] kill include/linux/platform.h, default_idle() cleanup

2006-03-24T15:33:21+00:00

include/linux/platform.h contained nothing that was actually used except
the default_idle() prototype, and is therefore removed by this patch.

This patch does the following with the platform specific default_idle()
functions on different architectures:
- remove the unused function:
  - parisc
  - sparc64
- make the needlessly global function static:
  - arm
  - h8300
  - m68k
  - m68knommu
  - s390
  - v850
  - x86_64
- add a prototype in asm/system.h:
  - cris
  - i386
  - ia64

[PATCH] more for_each_cpu() conversions

2006-03-23T15:38:17+00:00

When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch
the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all.  The correct way of doing this
is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu().

This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS.  I found very
few instances of this bug, if any.  But the patch converts lots of open-coded
test to use the preferred helper macros.

[PATCH] drive_info removal outside of arch/i386

drive_info is used only by hd.c and that happens under #ifdef __i386__.

[PATCH] dump_thread() cleanup

2006-01-10T16:01:25+00:00


)

From: Adrian Bunk 

- create one common dump_thread() prototype in kernel.h

- dump_thread() is only used in fs/binfmt_aout.c and can therefore be
  removed on all architectures where CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT is not
  available

[PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasks

2005-11-09T15:56:33+00:00

Run idle threads with preempt disabled.

Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
How did it ever work before?

Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.

We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.

After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
into the idle thread and goes to sleep.  The CPU will continue executing
previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.

By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

[PATCH] fix missing includes

2005-10-31T01:37:32+00:00

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.

In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch.  This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other.  So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it.  My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

[PATCH] NTP: ntp-helper functions

2005-09-07T23:57:34+00:00

This patch cleans up a commonly repeated set of changes to the NTP state
variables by adding two helper inline functions:

ntp_clear(): Clears the ntp state variables

ntp_synced(): Returns 1 if the system is synced with a time server.

This was compile tested for alpha, arm, i386, x86-64, ppc64, s390, sparc,
sparc64.
