clocksource: pass clocksource to read() callback

2009-04-21T20:41:47+00:00

Pass clocksource pointer to the read() callback for clocksources.  This
allows us to share the callback between multiple instances.

uml: don't use a too long string literal

2009-04-01T15:59:16+00:00

uml uses a concatenated string literal to store the contents of .config,
but .config file content is varaible, it can be very long.

Use an array of string literals instead.

Merge branches 'irq/genirq' and 'linus' into irq/core

UML on UML fixed: it did not start

2009-03-12T23:20:23+00:00

It is currently impossible to run a user-mode linux machine inside another
user-mode linux (UML on UML).  It breaks after a few instructions.  When
it tries to check whether SYSEMU is installed (the inner) UML receives an
inconsistent result (from the outer UML).

This is the output of a broken attempt:
$ ./linux mem=256m ubd0=cow
Locating the bottom of the address space ... 0x0
Locating the top of the address space ... 0xc0000000
Core dump limits :
        soft - 0
        hard - NONE
Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...OK
Checking ptrace new tags for syscall emulation...unsupported
Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...check_sysemu : expected SIGTRAP, got status = 256
$

The problem is the following:

PTRACE_SYSCALL/SINGLESTEP is currently managed inside arch_ptrace for ARCH=um.

PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP is not captured in arch_ptrace's switch,
therefore it is erroneously passed back to ptrace_request (in
kernel/ptrace).

This simple patch simply forces ptrace to return an error on
PTRACE_SYSEMU/SUSEMU_SINGLESTEP as it is unsupported on ARCH=um, and fixes
the problem.

sparseirq: use kstat_irqs_cpu instead

So could move kstat_irqs array to irq_desc struct.

(s390, m68k, sparc) are not touched yet, because they don't support genirq

mm: invoke oom-killer from page fault

2009-01-06T23:58:58+00:00

Rather than have the pagefault handler kill a process directly if it gets
a VM_FAULT_OOM, have it call into the OOM killer.

With increasingly sophisticated oom behaviour (cpusets, memory cgroups,
oom killing throttling, oom priority adjustment or selective disabling,
panic on oom, etc), it's silly to unconditionally kill the faulting
process at page fault time.  Create a hook for pagefault oom path to call
into instead.

Only converted x86 and uml so far.
