Revert quicklist need->flush fix

2007-12-27T06:04:09Z

Did not fix the reported issue. Apart from other weirdness this causes a bad link between the TLB flushing logic and the quicklists. If there is indeed an issue that an arch needs a tlb flush before free then the arch code needs to set tlb->need_flush before calling quicklist_free.

quicklist: Set tlb->need_flush if pages are remaining in quicklist 0

2007-12-18T03:28:17Z

This ensures that the quicklists are drained. Otherwise draining may only occur when the processor reaches an idle state. Fixes fatal leakage of pgd_t's on 2.6.22 and later. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Reported-by: Dhaval Giani Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

sched: fix RLIMIT_CPU comment

2007-11-26T20:21:49Z

Devan Lippman noticed that the RLIMIT_CPU comment in resource.h is incorrect: the field is in seconds, not msecs. We used msecs in earlier versions of the patch but that got changed. Found-by: Devan Lippman Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

Linux Kernel Markers

2007-10-19T18:53:54Z

The marker activation functions sits in kernel/marker.c. A hash table is used to keep track of the registered probes and armed markers, so the markers within a newly loaded module that should be active can be activated at module load time. marker_query has been removed. marker_get_first, marker_get_next and marker_release should be used as iterators on the markers.

define first set of BIT* macros

2007-10-19T18:53:42Z

define first set of BIT* macros - move BITOP_MASK and BITOP_WORD from asm-generic/bitops/atomic.h to include/linux/bitops.h and rename it to BIT_MASK and BIT_WORD - move BITS_TO_LONGS and BITS_PER_BYTE to bitops.h too and allow easily define another BITS_TO_something (e.g. in event.c) by BITS_TO_TYPE macro Remaining (and common) BIT macro will be defined after all occurences and conflicts will be sorted out in the patches.

forbid asm/bitops.h direct inclusion

2007-10-19T18:53:41Z

forbid asm/bitops.h direct inclusion Because of compile errors that may occur after bit changes if asm/bitops.h is included directly without e.g. linux/kernel.h which includes linux/bitops.h, forbid direct inclusion of asm/bitops.h.

bitops: introduce lock ops

remove include/asm-*/ipc.h

2007-10-17T15:42:55Z

All asm/ipc.h files do only #include . This patch therefore removes all include/asm-*/ipc.h files and moves the contents of include/asm-generic/ipc.h to include/linux/ipc.h. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

flush icache before set_pte() on ia64: flush icache at set_pte

2007-10-16T16:42:59Z

Current ia64 kernel flushes icache by lazy_mmu_prot_update() *after* set_pte(). This is too late. This patch removes lazy_mmu_prot_update and add modfied set_pte() for flushing if necessary. This patch flush icache of a page when new pte has exec bit. && new pte has present bit && new pte is user's page. && (old *ptep is not present || new pte's pfn is not same to old *ptep's ptn) && new pte's page has no Pg_arch_1 bit. Pg_arch_1 is set when a page is cache consistent. I think this condition checks are much easier to understand than considering "Where sync_icache_dcache() should be inserted ?". pte_user() for ia64 was removed by http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/12/67 as clean-up. So, I added it again. Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki Cc: "Luck, Tony" Cc: Christoph Lameter Cc: Hugh Dickins Cc: Nick Piggin Acked-by: David S.
