Documentation/printk-formats.txt says to use %zd for a ssize_t argument and some drivers do. Unfortunately this prints a positive number for negative values eg: tpm_tis 70030000.tpm_tis: tpm_transmit: tpm_send: error 4294967234 Add a case to va_args a ssize_t type if the interpretation should be signed. Tested on PPC32.

The boot_delay parameter affects all printk(), even if the log level prevents visible output from the call. It results in delays greater than the user intended without purpose. This patch changes the behaviour of boot_delay to only delay output.

The {in,out}s{b,w,l} functions are designed to operate on a stream of bytes and therefore should not perform any byte-swapping, regardless of the CPU byte order. This patch fixes the generic IO header so that {in,out}s{b,w,l} call the __raw_{read,write} functions directly rather than going via the endian-correcting accessors.

Jonathan Austin authored
Since userspace headers were moved to generated/uapi it possible to have a stale copy of linux/version.h at that file's old location. This causes confusion after building an older kernel version, then checking out and building a new one; the old (stale) version header will still get picked up until it is manually removed. This upsets the C library. Since the uapi changes, include/linux/version.h is no longer generated and should not be ignored, so this patch removes it from .gitignore.

Currently the __define_initcall() macro takes three arguments, fn, id and level. The level argument is exactly the same as the id argument but wrapped in quotes. To overcome this need to specify three arguments to the __define_initcall macro, where one argument is the stringification of another, we can just use the stringification macro instead.

This is especially dangerous for systems that have both msdos and efi partition tables, where you want to keep them in sync. - Cleanup of using -1 instead of the proper NUMA_NO_NODE - Export control of bdi flusher thread CPU mask and default to using the home node (if known) from Jeff. - Export unplug tracepoint for MD. - Core improvements from Shaohua. Reinstate the recursive merge, as the original bug has been fixed. Add plugging for discard and also fix a problem handling non pow-of-2 discard limits.

Andrea's autonuma-benchmark numa01 hits kernel BUG at huge_memory.c:1474! in change_huge_pmd called from change_protection from change_prot_numa from task_numa_work. That BUG, introduced in the huge zero page commit cad7f613 ("thp: change_huge_pmd(): make sure we don't try to make a page writable") was trying to verify that newprot never adds write permission to an anonymous huge page; but Automatic NUMA Balancing's 4b10e7d5 ("mm: mempolicy: Implement change_prot_numa() in terms of change_protection()") adds a new prot_numa path into change_huge_pmd(), which makes no use of the newprot provided, and may retain the write bit in the pmd.

Then the rest is mostly tiny cleanups and fixes, among which we have Mark's wm5xxx and wm8xxx patchset." Far amount of annoying but largely trivial conflicts.

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman: "There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree (balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and autonuma which is in aa.git. In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9. The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108 mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331 tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437 srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397 The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas' results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a large machine with imbalanced node sizes. My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally. We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of migration even when it shows that overall performance is better. There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration. These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks." * tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma: (50 commits) mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem mm: migrate: Account a transhuge page properly when rate limiting mm: numa: Account for failed allocations and isolations as migration failures mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case build fix mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case. mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled on a new node mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing if !SCHED_DEBUG mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing mm: sched: Adapt the scanning rate if a NUMA hinting fault does not migrate mm: numa: Use a two-stage filter to restrict pages being migrated for unlikely task<->node relationships mm: numa: migrate: Set last_nid on newly allocated page mm: numa: split_huge_page: Transfer last_nid on tail page mm: numa: Introduce last_nid to the page frame sched: numa: Slowly increase the scanning period as NUMA faults are handled mm: numa: Rate limit setting of pte_numa if node is saturated mm: numa: Rate limit the amount of memory that is migrated between nodes mm: numa: Structures for Migrate On Fault per NUMA migration rate limiting mm: numa: Migrate pages handled during a pmd_numa hinting fault mm: numa: Migrate on reference policy ...

While the mapping between I2C adapter functionality flags and i2c_smbus_*() helper functions is rather obvious, let's still document it for clarity. Also drop the reference to 2 command byte I2C block reads, there is no support for that in the kernel at the moment. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

dev_<level> calls take less code than dev_printk(KERN_<LEVEL> and reducing object size is good. Coalesce formats for easier grep. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

I did not receive a single bug report after interrupt support was added for a limited number of chips. So I'd say the code is good and should be enabled for all supported chips, that is: ICH5 and later. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Reviewed-by: Daniel Kurtz <djkurtz@chromium.org>
