kvm: provide kvm.h for all architecture: fixes headers_install

2008-04-02T22:28:18Z

Currently include/linux/kvm.h is not considered by make headers_install, because Kbuild cannot handle " unifdef-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.h. This problem was introduced by commit fb56dbb31c4738a3918db81fd24da732ce3b4ae6 Author: Avi Kivity Date: Sun Dec 2 10:50:06 2007 +0200 KVM: Export include/linux/kvm.h only if $ARCH actually supports KVM Currently, make headers_check barfs due to , which includes, not existing. Rather than add a zillion s, export kvm. only if the arch actually supports it. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity which makes this an 2.6.25 regression. One way of solving the issue is to enhance Kbuild, but Avi and David conviced me, that changing headers_install is not the way to go. This patch changes the definition for linux/kvm.h to unifdef-y. If unifdef-y is used for linux/kvm.h "make headers_check" will fail on all architectures without asm/kvm.h. Therefore, this patch also provides asm/kvm.h on all architectures.

[POWERPC] 8xx: fix swap

2008-03-07T14:42:28Z

This makes swap routines operate correctly on the ppc_8xx based machines. Code has been revalidated on mpc885ads (8M sdram) with recent kernel. Based on patch from Yuri Tikhonov to do the same on arch/ppc instance. Recent kernel's size makes swap feature very important on low-memory platforms, those are actually non-operable without it.

Kprobes: indicate kretprobe support in Kconfig

2008-03-05T00:35:11Z

Add CONFIG_HAVE_KRETPROBES to the arch//Kconfig file for relevant architectures with kprobes support. This facilitates easy handling of in-kernel modules (like samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c) that depend on kretprobes being present in the kernel. Thanks to Sam Ravnborg for helping make the patch more lean. Per Mathieu's suggestion, added CONFIG_KRETPROBES and fixed up dependencies.

percpu: fix DEBUG_PREEMPT per_cpu checking

2008-02-23T20:09:28Z

2.6.25-rc1 percpu changes broke CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT's per_cpu checking on several architectures. On s390, sparc64 and x86 it's been weakened to not checking at all; whereas on powerpc64 it's become too strict, issuing warnings from __raw_get_cpu_var in io_schedule and init_timer for example. Fix this by weakening powerpc's __my_cpu_offset to use the non-checking local_paca instead of get_paca (which itself contains such a check); and strengthening the generic my_cpu_offset to go the old slow way via smp_processor_id when CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT (debug_smp_processor_id is where all the knowledge of what's correct when lives).

[POWERPC] cell: fix spurious false return from spu_trap_data_{map,seg}

2008-02-20T03:57:36Z

At present, the __spufs_trap_data_map and __spu_trap_data_seq functions exit if spu->flags has the SPU_CONTEXT_SWITCH_ACTIVE set. This was resulting in suprious returns from these functions, as they may be legitimately called when we have this bit set. We only use it in these two sanity checks, so this change removes the flag completely. This fixes hangs in the page-fault path of SPE apps. Signed-off-by: Andre Detsch Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr

CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables.

2008-02-08T17:22:42Z

Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390. These sub-page page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization instruction with KVM. The SIE instruction requires that the page tables have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries (pgste). The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE instruction. The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking. To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return 1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE. Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K. That means the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct page. Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than 32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be accessible since its not kmapped). Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a pgtable_t. For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a later patch. For everybody else it will be a (struct page *). The additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and a destructor pgtable_page_dtor. The page table allocation and free functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or freed. pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer. To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added. It replaces the pmd_page call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

asm-*/posix_types.h: scrub GLIBC

2008-02-08T17:22:34Z

Some arches (like alpha and ia64) already have a clean posix_types.h header. This brings all the others in line by removing all references to __GLIBC__ (and some undocumented __USE_ALL).
