* Merge branch 'kmem_death' of ↵Linus Torvalds2007-07-1911-16/+12
|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lethal/sh-2.6 * 'kmem_death' of master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lethal/sh-2.6: mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().
| * mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().Paul Mundt2007-07-2011-16/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either. This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create() completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves, or the documentation references).

* i386: Allow KVM on i386 nonpaeAvi Kivity2007-07-193-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 both enables boot-time checking of the cmpxchg64b feature and enables compilation of the set_64bit() family. Since the option is dependent on PAE, and since KVM depends on set_64bit(), this effectively disables KVM on i386 nopae. Simplify by removing the config option altogether: the boot check is made dependent on CONFIG_X86_PAE directly, and the set_64bit() family is exposed without constraints. It is up to users to check for the feature flag (KVM does not as virtualiation extensions imply its existence).

* fix spufs build after ->fault changesChristoph Hellwig2007-07-191-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 83c54070ee1a2d05c89793884bea1a03f2851ed4 broke spufs by incorrectly updating the code, this patch gets it to compile again. It's probably still broken due to the scheduler changes, but this at least makes sure cell kernels can still be built.

Here's the reworked patch. I added an EDAC stub to the kernel so we can have variables that are in the kernel even if EDAC is a module. I also implemented the idea of using the chip driver to select error detection mode via module parameter and eliminate the kernel compile option. Please review/test. Thx! Also, I only made changes to some of the chipset drivers since I am unfamiliar with the other ones. We can add similar changes as we go.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Work around a possible bug in the FRV compiler. What appears to be happening is that gcc resolves the __builtin_constant_p() in kmalloc() to true, but then fails to reduce the therefore constant conditions in the if-statements it guards to constant results. When compiling with -O2 or -Os, one single spurious error crops up in cpuup_callback() in mm/slab.c. This can be avoided by making the memsize variable const.

One set which is exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu, but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus. One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the interface to achieve this is not clean. This patch: Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

* | | jprobes: make jprobes a little safer for usersMichael Ellerman2007-07-192-4/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but that doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use. This guy I know once wrote code like this: struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" }; And then his kernel exploded. Oops. This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text address that it represents. We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random value.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TSEC/eTSEC can detect the interface to the PHY automatically, but it isn't able to detect whether the RGMII connection needs internal delay. So we need to detect that change in the device tree, propagate it to the platform data, and then check it if we're in RGMII. This fixes a bug on the 8641D HPCN board where the Vitesse PHY doesn't use the delay for RGMII. Signed-off-by: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com>

This will enable the CPU to scale between the speed of the high speed bus and the master clock and thus save some power. The patch also adds a parent to cpu_clk and a cpu_clk_set_rate to enable changing the CPU clock divider in a sane way. The driver does not check if the given rate is 0, thus resulting in a div by 0. I think this check should be go into the clk_set_rate framework, and not here. Tested on AT32AP7000/ATSTK1000. Hardware documentation can be found in the AT32AP7000 datasheet.
