2015-07-02T21:58:12Z

Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek: "Just a few kbuild core commits this time: - kallsyms fix for CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL - bashisms in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh fixed - workaround to make DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED more useful yet still space efficient - clang is not wrongly detected when cross-compiling" * 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild: kbuild: include core debug info when DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED scripts: link-vmlinux: Don't pass page offset to kallsyms if XIP Kernel scripts: fix link-vmlinux.sh bash-ism Makefile: Fix detection of clang when cross-compiling

Merge branch 'mvebu/drivers' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc

2015-06-19T14:07:07Z

Merge the mvebu/drivers branch of the arm-soc tree which contains just a single patch bfa1ce5f38938cc9e6c7f2d1011f88eba2b9e2b2 ("bus: mvebu-mbus: add mv_mbus_dram_info_nooverlap()") that happens to be a prerequisite of the new marvell/cesa crypto driver.

kbuild: include core debug info when DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED

2015-06-11T13:08:32Z

With CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED, we do get quite a lot of debug info (around 22.7 MB for a defconfig+DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED). However, the "basenames must match" rule used by -femit-struct-debug-baseonly option means that we miss some core data structures, such as struct {device, file, inode, mm_struct, page} etc. We can easily get these included as well, while still getting the benefits of CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED (faster build times and smaller individual object files): All it takes is a dummy translation unit including a few strategic headers and compiled with a flag overriding -femit-struct-debug-baseonly. This increases the size of .debug_info by ~0.3%, but these 90 KB contain some rather useful info. Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

lib: add software 842 compression/decompression

2015-05-11T07:06:43Z

Add 842-format software compression and decompression functions. Update the MAINTAINERS 842 section to include the new files. The 842 compression function can compress any input data into the 842 compression format. The 842 decompression function can decompress any standard-format 842 compressed data - specifically, either a compressed data buffer created by the 842 software compression function, or a compressed data buffer created by the 842 hardware compressor (located in PowerPC coprocessors). The 842 compressed data format is explained in the header comments. This is used in a later patch to provide a full software 842 compression and decompression crypto interface.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc

2015-04-17T20:19:26Z

Pull sparc updates from David Miller: "The PowerPC folks have a really nice scalable IOMMU pool allocator that we wanted to make use of for sparc. So here we have a series that abstracts out their code into a common layer that anyone can make use of. Sparc is converted, and the PowerPC folks have reviewed and ACK'd this series and plan to convert PowerPC over as well" * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc: iommu-common: Fix PARISC compile-time warnings sparc: Make LDC use common iommu poll management functions sparc: Make sparc64 use scalable lib/iommu-common.c functions sparc: Break up monolithic iommu table/lock into finer graularity pools and lock

lib: rename lib/find_next_bit.c to lib/find_bit.c

2015-04-17T13:03:54Z

This file contains implementation for all find_*_bit{,_le} So giving it more generic name looks reasonable.

lib: move find_last_bit to lib/find_next_bit.c

2015-04-17T13:03:54Z

Currently all 'find_*_bit' family is located in lib/find_next_bit.c, except 'find_last_bit', which is in lib/find_last_bit.c. It seems, there's no major benefit to have it separated.

sparc: Break up monolithic iommu table/lock into finer graularity pools and lock

2015-04-16T19:44:55Z

Investigation of multithreaded iperf experiments on an ethernet interface show the iommu->lock as the hottest lock identified by lockstat, with something of the order of 21M contentions out of 27M acquisitions, and an average wait time of 26 us for the lock. This is not efficient. A more scalable design is to follow the ppc model, where the iommu_table has multiple pools, each stretching over a segment of the map, and with a separate lock for each pool. This model allows for better parallelization of the iommu map search. This patch adds the iommu range alloc/free function infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Sowmini Varadhan Signed-off-by: David S.

lib: add kasan test module

2015-02-14T05:21:41Z

This is a test module doing various nasty things like out of bounds accesses, use after free. It is useful for testing kernel debugging features like kernel address sanitizer. It mostly concentrates on testing of slab allocator, but we might want to add more different stuff here in future (like stack/global variables out of bounds accesses and so on).
