Remove fs.h from mm.h

2007-07-30T00:09:29+00:00

Remove fs.h from mm.h. For this,
 1) Uninline vma_wants_writenotify(). It's pretty huge anyway.
 2) Add back fs.h or less bloated headers (err.h) to files that need it.

As result, on x86_64 allyesconfig, fs.h dependencies cut down from 3929 files
rebuilt down to 3444 (-12.3%).

Cross-compile tested without regressions on my two usual configs and (sigh):

define new percpu interface for shared data

2007-07-19T17:04:44+00:00

per cpu data section contains two types of data.  One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus.  In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out.  This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.

One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end.  Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.

This patch:

Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

PTRACE_POKEDATA consolidation

AFAICS, fix bug on xtensa where successful PTRACE_POKEDATA will nevertheless

FRV: Remove some dead code

2007-07-16T16:05:37+00:00

Remove some dead chunks of code that are bounded by preprocessor conditionals
controlled by apparently no-longer available config options.

These are:

	CONFIG_BLK_DEV_BLKMEM
	CONFIG_CHR_DEV_FLASH
	CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FLASH
	CONFIG_CONSOLE

FRV: Be (self-)consistent and use CONFIG_GDB_CONSOLE everywhere

2007-07-16T16:05:37+00:00

Be (self-)consistent and use CONFIG_GDB_CONSOLE everywhere rather than using
CONFIG_GDBSTUB_CONSOLE in some places and not others.  This is also then
consistent with other archs.

Also remove the gdbstub console device() op which doesn't seem to be necessary
now (especially as it doesn't compile).
