Merge branch 'signal-cleanup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rw/misc

2014-08-09T16:58:12+00:00

Pull arch signal handling cleanup from Richard Weinberger:
 "This patch series moves all remaining archs to the get_signal(),
  signal_setup_done() and sigsp() functions.

  Currently these archs use open coded variants of the said functions.
  Further, unused parameters get removed from get_signal_to_deliver(),
  tracehook_signal_handler() and signal_delivered().

  At the end of the day we save around 500 lines of code."

arm64,ia64,ppc,s390,sh,tile,um,x86,mm: remove default gate area

2014-08-08T22:57:27+00:00

The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on
FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if
!defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR).

This default is only useful for ia64.  arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit
UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it.  arm, 32-bit UML,
and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations.

This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64.

This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now
possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.

arch, locking: Ciao arch_mutex_cpu_relax()

2014-07-17T10:32:47+00:00

The arch_mutex_cpu_relax() function, introduced by 34b133f, is
hacky and ugly. It was added a few years ago to address the fact
that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus
impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays
we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and
lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header,
any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well.

This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency  ("relax, but
only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in
each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax
functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax,
and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant,
I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific
logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to
transparently define it, similarly to System Z.
