The page allocator also needs the masking of gfp flags during boot, so this moves it out of slab/slub and uses it with the page allocator as well. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named "LinuxPPS". PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can use it to adjust system clock time. Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond synchronisation to UTC. To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing to these char devices. Signed-off-by:

Jack Steiner authored
Fix potential SGI GRU bug that could cause a use-after-free. If one thread in a task is flushing the GRU and another thread destroys the GRU context, there is the potential to access a table after it has been freed. Copy the gms pointer to a local variable before unlocking the gts table. Note that no refcnt is needed for the gms - the reference is held indirectly by the task's mm_struct. Signed-off-by:

Add user function to explicitly unload GRU kernel contexts from the GRU. Only contexts that are not in-use will be unloaded. This function is primarily for testing. It is not expected that this will be used in normal production systems. Signed-off-by:

Fix two problems related to GRU instruction failures. Cache coherency is not maintained for CBEs except when loading or unloading contexts. When reading a CBE to extract error information, the CBE must first be flushed from the cache. The function that reads kerrnel CBEs was reading the wrong CBE. Signed-off-by:

Check whether the gru state being loaded into a gru is from a new context or a previously unloaded context. If new, simply zero out the hardware context; if unloaded and valid, reload the old state.

Change the way GRU resources are assigned for kernel threads. GRU contexts for kernel threads are now allocated on demand and can be stolen by user processes when idle. This allows MPI jobs to use ALL of the GRU resources when the kernel is not using them. Signed-off-by:

Currently the sysrq-c handler is bit over-engineered. Its behavior is dependent on a few compile time and run time factors that alter its behavior which is really unnecessecary. If CONFIG_KEXEC is not configured, sysrq-c, crashes the system with a NULL pointer dereference. If CONFIG_KEXEC is configured, it calls crash_kexec directly, which implies that the kexec kernel will either be booted (if its been previously loaded), or it will simply do nothing (the no kexec kernel has been loaded). It would be much easier to just simplify the whole thing to dereference a NULL pointer all the time regardless of configuration. That way, it will always try to crash the system, and if a kexec kernel has been loaded into reserved space, it will still boot from the page fault trap handler (assuming panic_on_oops is set appropriately).

On embedded devices, sleep mode conditions can be tricky to handle, Especially when processors tend to pull-down the w1 bus during sleep. Bus slaves (such as the ds2760) may interpret this as a reason for power-down conditions and entirely switch off the device. This patch adds a callback function pointer to let users switch on and off the external pull-up resistor. This lets the outside world know whether the processor is currently actively driving the bus or not. When this callback is not provided, the code behaviour won't change. Signed-off-by:

We unified x86 and IA64's handling of multiple dma mapping operations (struct dma_map_ops in linux/dma-mapping.h) so we can remove duplication in their arch/include/asm/dma-mapping.h. This patchset adds include/asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h that provides some generic dma mapping function definitions for the users of struct dma_map_ops. This enables us to remove about 100 lines. This also enables us to easily add CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG support, which only x86 supports for now. The 4th patch adds CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG support to IA64 by adding only 8 lines. This patch: This header file provides some mapping function definitions that the users of struct dma_map_ops can use. Signed-off-by:

Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux kernel. gcov may be useful for: * debugging (has this code been reached at all?) * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?) * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the associated code is never run?) The profiling patch incorporates the following changes: * change kbuild to include profiling flags * provide functions needed by profiling code * present profiling data as files in debugfs Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option "-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/ run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and others which require adjustment of architecture code. For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes. This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help text). [1] http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Gcov.htmlSigned-off-by:
