Merge branch 'work.poll2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull more poll annotation updates from Al Viro:
"This is preparation to solving the problems you've mentioned in the
original poll series.
After this series, the kernel is ready for running
for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
done
as a for bulk search-and-replace.
After that, the kernel is ready to apply the patch to unify
{de,}mangle_poll(), and then get rid of kernel-side POLL... uses
entirely, and we should be all done with that stuff.
Basically, that's what you suggested wrt KPOLL..., except that we can
use EPOLL... instead - they already are arch-independent (and equal to
what is currently kernel-side POLL...).
After the preparations (in this series) switch to returning EPOLL...
from ->poll() instances is completely mechanical and kernel-side
POLL... can go away. The last step (killing kernel-side POLL... and
unifying {de,}mangle_poll() has to be done after the
search-and-replace job, since we need userland-side POLL... for
unified {de,}mangle_poll(), thus the cherry-pick at the last step.
After that we will have:
- POLL{IN,OUT,...} *not* in __poll_t, so any stray instances of
->poll() still using those will be caught by sparse.
- eventpoll.c and select.c warning-free wrt __poll_t
- no more kernel-side definitions of POLL... - userland ones are
visible through the entire kernel (and used pretty much only for
mangle/demangle)
- same behavior as after the first series (i.e. sparc et.al. epoll(2)
working correctly)"
* 'work.poll2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
annotate ep_scan_ready_list()
ep_send_events_proc(): return result via esed->res
preparation to switching ->poll() to returning EPOLL...
add EPOLLNVAL, annotate EPOLL... and event_poll->event
use linux/poll.h instead of asm/poll.h
xen: fix poll misannotation
smc: missing poll annotations
