hrtimer: hook compat_sys_nanosleep up to high res timer code

2007-10-18T20:54:18Z

Now we have high res timers on ppc64 I thought Id test them. It turns out compat_sys_nanosleep hasnt been converted to the hrtimer code and so is limited to HZ resolution. The follow patch converts compat_sys_nanosleep to use high res timers. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

[PATCH] Common compat_sys_sysinfo

2007-02-11T18:51:32Z

I noticed that almost all architectures implemented exactly the same sys32_sysinfo... except parisc, where a bug was to be found in handling of the uptime. So let's remove a whole whack of code for fun and profit. Cribbed compat_sys_sysinfo from x86_64's implementation, since I figured it would be the best tested. This patch incorporates Arnd's suggestion of not using set_fs/get_fs, but instead extracting out the common code from sys_sysinfo.

[PATCH] Create compat_sys_migrate_pages

2006-11-03T20:27:59Z

This is needed on bigendian 64bit architectures. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell Acked-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Constify compat_get_bitmap argument

2006-10-28T18:30:54Z

This means we can call it when the bitmap we want to fetch is declared const. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell Cc: Christoph Lameter Cc: Paul Jackson Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] BLOCK: Revert patch to hack around undeclared sigset_t in linux/compat.h

2006-10-02T15:03:31Z

Revert Andrew Morton's patch to temporarily hack around the lack of a declaration of sigset_t in linux/compat.h to make the block-disablement patches build on IA64. This got accidentally pushed to Linus and should be fixed in a different manner. Also make linux/compat.h #include asm/signal.h to gain a definition of sigset_t so that it can externally declare sigset_from_compat(). This has been compile-tested for i386, x86_64, ia64, mips, mips64, frv, ppc and ppc64 and run-tested on frv. Signed-off-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] BLOCK: Move extern declarations out of fs/*.c into header files [try #6]

2006-09-30T18:52:18Z

Create a new header file, fs/internal.h, for common definitions local to the sources in the fs/ directory. Move extern definitions that should be in header files from fs/*.c to fs/internal.h or other main header files where they span directories. Signed-Off-By: David Howells Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

[PATCH] posix-timers: Fix clock_nanosleep() doesn't return the remaining time in compatibility mode

2006-09-29T16:18:15Z

The clock_nanosleep() function does not return the time remaining when the sleep is interrupted by a signal. This patch creates a new call out, compat_clock_nanosleep_restart(), which handles returning the remaining time after a sleep is interrupted. This patch revives clock_nanosleep_restart(). It is now accessed via the new call out. The compat_clock_nanosleep_restart() is used for compatibility access. Since this is implemented in compatibility mode the normal path is virtually unaffected - no real performance impact.
