vgacon, arch/*: remove unused screen_info definitions

2023-10-17T08:17:02+00:00

A number of architectures either kept the screen_info definition for
historical purposes as it used to be required by the generic VT code, or
they copied it from another architecture in order to build the VGA console
driver in an allmodconfig build. The mips definition is used by some
platforms, but the initialization on jazz is not needed.

Now that vgacon no longer builds on these architectures, remove the
stale definitions and initializations.

sparc64: Replace all non-returning strlcpy with strscpy

2023-06-14T19:04:06+00:00

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().
No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.

initrd: remove support for multiple floppies

2020-07-30T06:22:33+00:00

Remove the special handling for multiple floppies in the initrd code.
No one should be using floppies for booting these days. (famous last
words..)

mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already included

2020-06-09T16:39:13+00:00

Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.

The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once.  For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.

Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.

static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
        return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}

static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
        return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}

These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.

For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.

These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.

This patch (of 12):

The linux/mm.h header includes  to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g.  pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc().  So, there is no point to explicitly include 
in the files that include .

The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:

	for f in $(git grep -l "include ") ; do
		sed -i -e '/include / d' $f
	done

sparc: add checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*()

2019-03-12T17:04:02+00:00

Add panic() calls if memblock_alloc*() returns NULL.

Most of the changes are simply addition of

        if(!ptr)
                panic();

statements after the calls to memblock_alloc*() variants.

Exceptions are pcpu_populate_pte() and kernel_map_range() that were
slightly refactored to accommodate the change.

While checking boot log from SPARC qemu, I saw that the "ARCH: sunxx"

This patchs merge both line together.
In the meantime, thoses information need to be printed via pr_info
since printk print them by default via the warning loglevel.
