We duplicate alloc/free_thread_info defines on many platforms (the

defines and removes these duplicated defines.
__HAVE_ARCH_THREAD_INFO_ALLOCATOR is introduced for platforms that do

<title>[PATCH] PM: Fix SMP races in the freezer</title>
<updated>2006-12-13T17:05:49+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=8a102eed9c4e1d21bad07a8fd97bd4fbf125d966'/>
<id>8a102eed9c4e1d21bad07a8fd97bd4fbf125d966</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, to tell a task that it should go to the refrigerator, we set the
PF_FREEZE flag for it and send a fake signal to it.  Unfortunately there
are two SMP-related problems with this approach.  First, a task running on
another CPU may be updating its flags while the freezer attempts to set
PF_FREEZE for it and this may leave the task's flags in an inconsistent
state.  Second, there is a potential race between freeze_process() and
refrigerator() in which freeze_process() running on one CPU is reading a
task's PF_FREEZE flag while refrigerator() running on another CPU has just
set PF_FROZEN for the same task and attempts to reset PF_FREEZE for it.  If
the refrigerator wins the race, freeze_process() will state that PF_FREEZE
hasn't been set for the task and will set it unnecessarily, so the task
will go to the refrigerator once again after it's been thawed.

To solve first of these problems we need to stop using PF_FREEZE to tell
tasks that they should go to the refrigerator.  Instead, we can introduce a
special TIF_*** flag and use it for this purpose, since it is allowed to
change the other tasks' TIF_*** flags and there are special calls for it.

To avoid the freeze_process()-refrigerator() race we can make
freeze_process() to always check the task's PF_FROZEN flag after it's read
its "freeze" flag.  We should also make sure that refrigerator() will
always reset the task's "freeze" flag after it's set PF_FROZEN for it.

<title>[PATCH] Handle TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for FRV</title>

Handle TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as added by David Woodhouse's patch entitled:

        [PATCH] 2/3 Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK support for arch/powerpc
        [PATCH] 3/3 Generic sys_rt_sigsuspend

It does the following:

 (1) Declares TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for FRV.

 (2) Invokes it over to do_signal() when TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set.

 (3) Makes do_signal() support TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, using the signal mask saved
     in current-&gt;saved_sigmask.

 (4) Discards sys_rt_sigsuspend() from the arch, using the generic one instead.

 (5) Makes sys_sigsuspend() save the signal mask and set TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
     rather than attempting to fudge the return registers.

 (6) Makes sys_sigsuspend() return -ERESTARTNOHAND rather than looping
     intrinsically.

 (7) Makes setup_frame(), setup_rt_frame() and handle_signal() return 0 or
     -EFAULT rather than true/false to be consistent with the rest of the
      kernel.

Due to the fact do_signal() is then only called from one place:

 (8) Make do_signal() no longer have a return value is it was just being
     ignored; force_sig() takes care of this.

 (9) Discards the old sigmask argument to do_signal() as it's no longer
     necessary.

This patch depends on the FRV signalling patches as well as the
sys_rt_sigsuspend patch.

<title>[PATCH] FRV: Make the FRV arch work again</title>

<content type='text'>
The attached patch implements a bunch of small changes to the FRV arch to
make it work again.

It deals with the following problems:

 (1) SEM_DEBUG should be SEMAPHORE_DEBUG.

 (2) The argument list to pcibios_penalize_isa_irq() has changed.

 (3) CONFIG_HIGHMEM can't be used directly in #if as it may not be defined.

 (4) page-&gt;private is no longer directly accessible.

 (5) linux/hardirq.h assumes asm/hardirq.h will include linux/irq.h

 (6) The IDE MMIO access functions are given pointers, not integers, and so
     get type casting errors.

 (7) __pa() is passed an explicit u64 type in drivers/char/mem.c, but that
     can't be cast directly to a pointer on a 32-bit platform.

 (8) SEMAPHORE_DEBUG should not be contingent on WAITQUEUE_DEBUG as that no
     longer exists.

 (9) PREEMPT_ACTIVE is too low a value.
