* kconfig: incorrect 'len' field initialisation ?Christophe Jaillet2008-05-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | 1) The field 'len' of the 'gstr' structure seems to track the size of the memory already allocated for the "growable string". So the value of this field should be the same as the 'malloc()' just above, shouldn't it ?

* Remove *.rej pattern from .gitignoreS.Çağlar Onur2008-05-111-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With commit 3f1b0e1f287547903f11fa1e6de7d2765597766e ".gitignore update" Linus's current git tree starts to ignore any "*.rej" files. So "git status" no longer shows these files, but the ones who works with quilt patchsets, this not makes life easier as expected. Because sometimes a work flow (at least for me) requires "quilt push -f" followed by "git status" to see unresolved merge conflicts, work on these conflicts to correct them and finalize the patch with "quilt refresh". And if there are some "*.rej" files exists in tree, for whatever reason, this means something goes really wrong there and i think this situation not deserves to be ignored.

* kbuild: disable modpost warnings for linkonce sectionsAndi Kleen2008-05-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Disable modpost warnings for linkonce sections My build gives lots of warnings like WARNING: sound/core/snd.o (.gnu.linkonce.wi.mpspec_def.h.30779716): unexpected section name. The (.[number]+) following section name are ld generated and not expected. Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file? Note that for example <linux/init.h> contains section definitions for use in .S files. But for .linkonce. duplicated sections are actually ok and expected. So just disable the warning for this case.

* kbuild: escape meta characters in regular expression in make TAGSMasatake YAMATO2008-05-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> introduced a code adds menuconfig SOMETHING in Kconfig to tags output when you did "make tags". See http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=80ff26241623875636674a31c0540a78c0fb5433 "make tags" may work fine with his code. However make TAGS doesn't work well because etags command requires backslashes to escape meta characters like `(', `)' and `|'. Here is a patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A lot of stuff in spitz/akita/etc. depends on corgi_ssp to be initialised early. However corgi_ssp initialisation fails, because at that time pxa*-ssp devices don't have drivers. Move ssp earlier in the makefile so they are registered before corgi-ssp.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Related to d3930614e68bdf83a120d904c039a64e9f75dba1. RCSR is only present on PXA2xx CPUs, not on PXA3xx CPUs. Therefore, we should not be unconditionally writing to RCSR from generic code. Since we now clear the RCSR status from the SoC specific PXA PM code and before reset in the arch_reset() function, the duplication in the corgi, poodle, spitz and tosa code can be removed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes some two minor clk issues. The first is a comparison where a byte will probably wrap around to 0 instead of being saturated to 255, shouldn't be triggered very often but need fixing. The second is an attempt by the driver to adjust MCLK down to the maximum frequency according to the spec, so we don't accidentally overclock the PL18x block. None of the mach-{versatile|integrator|lh7a40x} that use it in-tree seem to have a problem with this (all are well below 100MHz, typically 33MHz), but some day there will be a problem. This is not applied on top of the earlier mmci patch for race condition but rather a clean 2.6.25, but I guess it applies without major protests anyway.

Its moved to addon_cpuid_features.c as this file is shared between 32 and 64 bit. Remove the manipulation of the PAT feature bit and just disable PAT in the PAT layer, based on the PAT bit provided by the CPU and the current CPU version/model white list. Change the boot CPU check so it works on Voyager somewhere in the future as well :) Also panic, when a secondary has PAT disabled but the primary one has alrady switched to PAT. We have no way to undo that. The white list is kept for now to ensure that we can rely on known to work CPU types and concentrate on the software induced problems instead of fighthing CPU erratas and subtle wreckage caused by not yet verified CPUs. Once the PAT code has stabilized enough, we can remove the white list and open the can of worms. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The generic semaphore rewrite had a huge performance regression on AIM7 (and potentially other BKL-heavy benchmarks) because the generic semaphores had been rewritten to be simple to understand and fair. The latter, in particular, turns a semaphore-based BKL implementation into a mess of scheduling. The attempt to fix the performance regression failed miserably (see the previous commit 00b41ec2611dc98f87f30753ee00a53db648d662 'Revert "semaphore: fix"'), and so for now the simple and sane approach is to instead just go back to the old spinlock-based BKL implementation that never had any issues like this. This patch also has the advantage of being reported to fix the regression completely according to Yanmin Zhang, unlike the semaphore hack which still left a couple percentage point regression. As a spinlock, the BKL obviously has the potential to be a latency issue, but it's not really any different from any other spinlock in that respect. We do want to get rid of the BKL asap, but that has been the plan for several years. These days, the biggest users are in the tty layer (open/release in particular) and Alan holds out some hope: "tty release is probably a few months away from getting cured - I'm afraid it will almost certainly be the very last user of the BKL in tty to get fixed as it depends on everything else being sanely locked." so while we're not there yet, we do have a plan of action.

Quoth Sven Wegener: "I'm currently investigating a regression that has showed up with my last git pull yesterday. Bisecting the commits showed bf726e "semaphore: fix" to be the culprit, reverting it fixed the issue. Symptoms: During heavy filesystem usage (e.g. a kernel compile) I get several compiler processes in uninterruptible sleep, blocking all i/o on the filesystem. System is an Intel Core 2 Quad running a 64bit kernel and userspace. Filesystem is xfs on top of lvm. See below for the output of sysrq-w." See http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/10/45 for full report. In the meantime, we can just fix the BKL performance regression by reverting back to the good old BKL spinlock implementation instead, since any sleeping lock will generally perform badly, especially if it tries to be fair.

Moving it to <linux/compiler.h> will allow some other cases that have open-coded the same logic to use the same helper function that RCU has used.
