* sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to ↵Ingo Molnar2017-03-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | <linux/sched/signal.h> We are going to split <linux/sched/signal.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/signal.h> file that just maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

* signal: turn dequeue_signal_lock() into kernel_dequeue_signal()Oleg Nesterov2015-11-061-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. Rename dequeue_signal_lock() to kernel_dequeue_signal(). This matches another "for kthreads only" kernel_sigaction() helper. 2. Remove the "tsk" and "mask" arguments, they are always current and current->blocked. And it is simply wrong if tsk != current. 3. We could also remove the 3rd "siginfo_t *info" arg but it looks potentially useful. However we can simplify the callers if we change kernel_dequeue_signal() to accept info => NULL. 4. Remove _irqsave, it is never called from atomic context.

* signals: jffs2: fix the wrong usage of disallow_signal()Oleg Nesterov2014-06-061-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | jffs2_garbage_collect_thread() does disallow_signal(SIGHUP) around jffs2_garbage_collect_pass() and the comment says "We don't want SIGHUP to interrupt us". But disallow_signal() can't ensure that jffs2_garbage_collect_pass() won't be interrupted by SIGHUP, the problem is that SIGHUP can be already pending when disallow_signal() is called, and in this case any interruptible sleep won't block. Note: this is in fact because disallow_signal() is buggy and should be fixed, see the next changes. But there is another reason why disallow_signal() is wrong: SIG_IGN set by disallow_signal() silently discards any SIGHUP which can be sent before the next allow_signal(SIGHUP). Change this code to use sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK/SIG_BLOCK, SIGHUP). This even matches the old (and wrong) semantics allow/disallow had when this logic was written.

* [JFFS2] force the jffs2 GC daemon to behave a bit betterAndres Salomon2009-02-141-7/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've noticed some pretty poor behavior on OLPC machines after bootup, when gdm/X are starting. The GCD monopolizes the scheduler (which in turns means it gets to do more nand i/o), which results in processes taking much much longer than they should to start. As an example, on an OLPC machine going from OFW to a usable X (via auto-login gdm) takes 2m 30s. The majority of this time is consumed by the switch into graphical mode. With this patch, we cut a full 60s off of bootup time. After bootup, things are much snappier as well. Note that we have seen a CRC node error with this patch that causes the machine to fail to boot, but we've also seen that problem without this patch.

| * Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki2007-07-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In particular, remove the bit in the LICENCE file about contacting Red Hat for alternative arrangements. Their errant IS department broke that arrangement a long time ago -- the policy of collecting copyright assignments from contributors came to an end when the plug was pulled on the servers hosting the project, without notice or reason. We do still dual-license it for use with eCos, with the GPL+exception licence approved by the FSF as being GPL-compatible. It's just that nobody has the right to license it differently.

* [JFFS2] Use yield() between GC passes in background thread.David Woodhouse2007-03-081-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The garbage collection thread is strictly an optimisation. Everything it does would also be done just-in-time in the context of something in userspace trying to access the file system. Sometimes, however, it's a pessimisation. Especially during early boot when it's checksumming nodes and scanning inodes which are shortly going to be pulled in by read_inode anyway. We end up building the rbtree of node coverage twice for the same inode. By switching to yield() instead of cond_resched() in the main loop, we observe boot times on the OLPC system going down from about 100 seconds to 60.

* [PATCH] fix missing includesTim Schmielau2005-10-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
