* [PATCH] PM: Fix SMP races in the freezerRafael J. Wysocki2006-12-131-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, to tell a task that it should go to the refrigerator, we set the PF_FREEZE flag for it and send a fake signal to it. Unfortunately there are two SMP-related problems with this approach. First, a task running on another CPU may be updating its flags while the freezer attempts to set PF_FREEZE for it and this may leave the task's flags in an inconsistent state. Second, there is a potential race between freeze_process() and refrigerator() in which freeze_process() running on one CPU is reading a task's PF_FREEZE flag while refrigerator() running on another CPU has just set PF_FROZEN for the same task and attempts to reset PF_FREEZE for it. If the refrigerator wins the race, freeze_process() will state that PF_FREEZE hasn't been set for the task and will set it unnecessarily, so the task will go to the refrigerator once again after it's been thawed. To solve first of these problems we need to stop using PF_FREEZE to tell tasks that they should go to the refrigerator. Instead, we can introduce a special TIF_*** flag and use it for this purpose, since it is allowed to change the other tasks' TIF_*** flags and there are special calls for it. To avoid the freeze_process()-refrigerator() race we can make freeze_process() to always check the task's PF_FROZEN flag after it's read its "freeze" flag. We should also make sure that refrigerator() will always reset the task's "freeze" flag after it's set PF_FROZEN for it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* sh: Fixup various PAGE_SIZE == 4096 assumptions.Paul Mundt2006-12-061-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There were a number of places that made evil PAGE_SIZE == 4k assumptions that ended up breaking when trying to play with 8k and 64k page sizes, this fixes those up. The most significant change is the way we load THREAD_SIZE, previously this was done via: mov #(THREAD_SIZE >> 8), reg shll8 reg to avoid a memory access and allow the immediate load. With a 64k PAGE_SIZE, we're out of range for the immediate load size without resorting to special instructions available in later ISAs (movi20s and so on). The "workaround" for this is to bump up the shift to 10 and insert a shll2, which gives a bit more flexibility while still being much cheaper than a memory access.

* sh: Add support for 4K stacks.Paul Mundt2006-09-271-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | This enables support for 4K stacks on SH. Currently this depends on DEBUG_KERNEL, but likely all boards will switch to this as the default in the future. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

* sh: Fixup __strnlen_user() behaviour.Paul Mundt2006-09-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | Drop TIF_USERSPACE and add addr_limit to the thread_info struct. Subsequently, use that for address checking in strnlen_user() to ward off bogus -EFAULTs. Make __strnlen_user() return 0 on exception, rather than -EFAULT. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

* [PATCH] bitops: sh: make thread_info.flags an unsigned longAkinobu Mita2006-03-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The test_bit() routines are defined to work on a pointer to unsigned long. But thread_info.flags is __u32 (unsigned int) on sh and it is passed to flag set/clear/test wrappers in include/linux/thread_info.h. So the compiler will print warnings. This patch changes to unsigned long instead.

* [PATCH] streamline preempt_count type across archsJesper Juhl2005-06-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The preempt_count member of struct thread_info is currently either defined as int, unsigned int or __s32 depending on arch. This patch makes the type of preempt_count an int on all archs. Having preempt_count be an unsigned type prevents the catching of preempt_count < 0 bugs, and using int on some archs and __s32 on others is not exactely "neat" - much nicer when it's just int all over. A previous version of this patch was already ACK'ed by Robert Love, and the only change in this version of the patch compared to the one he ACK'ed is that this one also makes sure the preempt_count member is consistently commented.

* [PATCH] sh: PREEMPT_ACTIVE fixPaul Mundt2005-05-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Port Paulus's ppc64 fix to sh: When the generic IRQ stuff went in, it seems that HARDIRQ_BITS got bumped from 9 (for ppc64) up to 12. Consequently, the PREEMPT_ACTIVE bit is now within HARDIRQ_MASK, and I get in_interrupt() falsely returning true when PREEMPT_ACTIVE is set, and thus a BUG_ON tripping in arch/ppc64/mm/tlb.c.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+102
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
