arc: get rid of superfluous __GFP_REPEAT

2016-06-25T00:23:52Z

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. pte_alloc_one_kernel uses __get_order_pte but this is obviously always zero because BITS_FOR_PTE is not larger than 9 yet the page size is always larger than 4K. This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

Revert "ARCv2: spinlock/rwlock/atomics: Delayed retry of failed SCOND with exponential backoff"

2016-06-02T05:29:23Z

This reverts commit e78fdfef84be13a5c2b8276e12203cdf24778596. The issue was fixed in hardware in HS2.1C release and there are no known external users of affected RTL so revert the whole delayed retry series ! Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

arch: fix has_transparent_hugepage()

2016-05-20T02:12:14Z

I've just discovered that the useful-sounding has_transparent_hugepage() is actually an architecture-dependent minefield: on some arches it only builds if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y, on others it's also there when not, but on some of those (arm and arm64) it then gives the wrong answer; and on mips alone it's marked __init, which would crash if called later (but so far it has not been called later). Straighten this out: make it available to all configs, with a sensible default in asm-generic/pgtable.h, removing its definitions from those arches (arc, arm, arm64, sparc, tile) which are served by the default, adding #define has_transparent_hugepage has_transparent_hugepage to those (mips, powerpc, s390, x86) which need to override the default at runtime, and removing the __init from mips (but maybe that kind of code should be avoided after init: set a static variable the first time it's called).

The default 256 bytes sometimes is just not enough. We usually provide earlycon=... and console=... and ip=... All this and more may need more room. Signed-off-by: Noam Camus Acked-by: Vineet Gupta
