linux.git/drivers/base/node.c, branch v3.3-rc2

Merge branch 'driver-core-next' into Linux 3.2

2012-01-06T19:42:52+00:00

This resolves the conflict in the arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/s3c6400.c file,
and it fixes the build error in the arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c
file, that the merge did not catch.

The microcode_core.c patch was provided by Stephen Rothwell
 who was invaluable in the merge issues involved
with the large sysdev removal process in the driver-core tree.

convert 'memory' sysdev_class to a regular subsystem

2011-12-21T22:48:43+00:00

This moves the 'memory sysdev_class' over to a regular 'memory' subsystem
and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
implemented as subsystem interfaces now.

After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

cpu: convert 'cpu' and 'machinecheck' sysdev_class to a regular subsystem

2011-12-21T22:29:42+00:00

This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem
and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
implemented as subsystem interfaces now.

After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

mm: per-node vmstat: show proper vmstats

2011-05-25T15:39:07+00:00

commit 2ac390370a ("writeback: add
/sys/devices/system/node//vmstat") added vmstat entry.  But
strangely it only show nr_written and nr_dirtied.

        # cat /sys/devices/system/node/node20/vmstat
        nr_written 0
        nr_dirtied 0

Of course, It's not adequate.  With this patch, the vmstat show all vm
stastics as /proc/vmstat.

memory hotplug: Update phys_index to [start|end]_section_nr

2011-02-04T00:08:57+00:00

Update the 'phys_index' property of a the memory_block struct to be
called start_section_nr, and add a end_section_nr property.  The
data tracked here is the same but the updated naming is more in line
with what is stored here, namely the first and last section number
that the memory block spans.

The names presented to userspace remain the same, phys_index for
start_section_nr and end_phys_index for end_section_nr, to avoid breaking
anything in userspace.

This also updates the node sysfs code to be aware of the new capability for
a memory block to contain multiple memory sections and be aware of the memory
block structure name changes (start_section_nr).  This requires an additional
parameter to unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes so that we know which memory
section of the memory block to unregister.

writeback: add /sys/devices/system/node//vmstat

2010-10-26T23:52:06+00:00

For NUMA node systems it is important to have visibility in memory
characteristics.  Two of the /proc/vmstat values "nr_written" and
"nr_dirtied" are added here.

	# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node20/vmstat

driver core: Convert link_mem_sections to use find_memory_block_hinted.

2010-10-22T17:16:44+00:00

Modify link_mem_sections() to pass in the previous mem_block as a hint to
locating the next mem_block.  Since they are typically added in order this
results in a massive saving in time during boot of a very large system.
For example, on a 16TB x86_64 machine, it reduced the total time spent
linking all node's memory sections from 1 hour, 27 minutes to 46 seconds.

Fix it by splitting the sprintf() into three parts.  It has no functional
