      alpha: AGP update (fixes compile failure) · d68721eb
      Ivan Kokshaysky authored 
      

This brings Alpha AGP platforms in sync with the change to struct
agp_memory (unsigned long *memory => struct page **pages).

Only compile tested (I don't have titan/marvel hardware), but this change
looks pretty straightforward, so hopefully it's ok.

      sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handler · 8d65af78
      Alexey Dobriyan authored 
      

It's unused.

It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl
shouldn't care about the rest.

It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

      fcntl: add F_[SG]ETOWN_EX · ba0a6c9f
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      

In order to direct the SIGIO signal to a particular thread of a
multi-threaded application we cannot, like suggested by the manpage, put a
TID into the regular fcntl(F_SETOWN) call.  It will still be send to the
whole process of which that thread is part.

Since people do want to properly direct SIGIO we introduce F_SETOWN_EX.

The need to direct SIGIO comes from self-monitoring profiling such as with
perf-counters.  Perf-counters uses SIGIO to notify that new sample data is
available.  If the signal is delivered to the same task that generated the
new sample it can augment that data by inspecting the task's user-space
state right after it returns from the kernel.  This is esp.  convenient
for interpreted or virtual machine driven environments.

Both F_SETOWN_EX and F_GETOWN_EX take a pointer to a struct f_owner_ex
as argument:

struct f_owner_ex {
	int   type;
	pid_t pid;
};

Where type is one of F_OWNER_TID, F_OWNER_PID or F_OWNER_GID.

      x86: Remove redundant non-NUMA topology functions · b0c6fbe4
      Rusty Russell authored 
      

arch/x86/include/asm/topology.h declares inline fns cpu_to_node and
cpumask_of_node for !NUMA, even though they are then declared as
macros by asm-generic/topology.h, which is #included just below.

The macros (which are the same) end up being used; these functions
are just confusing.

If you use the kernel argument:

Instead warn the end user that they specified the device
a second time, and ignore that second console.

      x86: Reduce verbosity of "PAT enabled" kernel message · e23a8b6a
      Roland Dreier authored 
      

On modern systems, the kernel prints the message

    x86 PAT enabled: cpu 0, old 0x7040600070406, new 0x7010600070106

once for every CPU.

This gets kind of ridiculous on huge systems; for example, on a
64-thread system I was lucky enough to get:

    dmesg| grep 'PAT enabled' | wc
         64     704    5174

There is already a BUG() if non-boot CPUs have PAT capabilities
that don't match the boot CPU, so just print the message on the
boot CPU. (I kept the print after the wrmsrl() that enables PAT,
so that the log output continues to mean that the system survived
enabling PAT on the boot CPU)

      Roland Dreier authored 
      

On modern systems, the kernel prints the message

This gets kind of ridiculous on huge systems; for example, on a

There's no point to doing this for every CPU, since the code is
just checking the boot CPU anyway, so change this to a
printk_once() to make the message appears only once.

In the unaligned kernel exception fixup case the printk() was ordered
before the copy_from_user(), resulting in a nonsensical instruction
value. This fixes up the ordering properly.

      microblaze: Support simpleImage.dts make target · f05131cd
      Michal Simek authored 
      

Instead of remembering to specify DTB= on the make commandline, this commit
allows the much friendlier make simpleImage.<dts>
where <dts>.dts is expected to be found in arch/microblaze/boot/dts/
The resulting vmlinux, with the compiled DTS linked in, will be copied to
boot/simpleImage.<dts>

This mirrors the same functionality as on PowerPC,
albeit achieving it in a slightly different way.

+ strip simpleImage file
The size of output file is very similar to linux.bin.

vmlinux - full elf without fdt blob
simpleImage.<dtb name>.unstrip - full elf with fdt blob
simpleImage.<dtb name> - stripped elf with fdt blob

Add symlink to generic system.dts in platform folder
