      [PATCH] FRV: Make the FRV arch work again · 8080f231
      David Howells authored
      The attached patch implements a bunch of small changes to the FRV arch to
      make it work again.
      
      It deals with the following problems:
      
       (1) SEM_DEBUG should be SEMAPHORE_DEBUG.
      
       (2) The argument list to pcibios_penalize_isa_irq() has changed.
      
       (3) CONFIG_HIGHMEM can't be used directly in #if as it may not be defined.
      
       (4) page->private is no longer directly accessible.
      
       (5) linux/hardirq.h assumes asm/hardirq.h will include linux/irq.h
      
       (6) The IDE MMIO access functions are given pointers, not integers, and so
           get type casting errors.
      
       (7) __pa() is passed an explicit u64 type in drivers/char/mem.c, but that
           can't be cast directly to a pointer on a 32-bit platform.
      
       (8) SEMAPHORE_DEBUG should not be contingent on WAITQUEUE_DEBUG as that no
           longer exists.
      
       (9) PREEMPT_ACTIVE is too low a value.

      Don't do that - it does GFP_KERNEL allocations, for a start.

      [PATCH] clean up lock_cpu_hotplug() in cpufreq · a9d9baa1
      Ashok Raj authored
      There are some callers in cpufreq hotplug notify path that the lowest
      function calls lock_cpu_hotplug().  The lock is already held during
      cpu_up() and cpu_down() calls when the notify calls are broadcast to
      registered clients.
      
      Ideally if possible, we could disable_preempt() at the highest caller and
      make sure we dont sleep in the path down in cpufreq->driver_target() calls
      but the calls are so intertwined and cumbersome to cleanup.
      
      Hence we consistently use lock_cpu_hotplug() and unlock_cpu_hotplug() in
      all places.
      
       - Removed export of cpucontrol semaphore and made it static.
       - removed explicit uses of up/down with lock_cpu_hotplug()
         so we can keep track of the the callers in same thread context and
         just keep refcounts without calling a down() that causes a deadlock.
       - Removed current_in_hotplug() uses
       - Removed PF_HOTPLUG_CPU in sched.h introduced for the current_in_hotplug()
         temporary workaround.
      
      Tested with insmod of cpufreq_stat.ko, and logical online/offline
      to make sure we dont have any hang situations.

      [PATCH] Workaround for gcc 2.96 (undefined references) · e0f39591
      Alan Stern authored
        LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
      mm/built-in.o(.text+0x100d6): In function `copy_page_range':
      : undefined reference to `__pud_alloc'
      mm/built-in.o(.text+0x1010b): In function `copy_page_range':

      : undefined reference to `__pud_alloc'
      make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
      
      Those missing references in mm/memory.c arise from this code in
      include/linux/mm.h, combined with the fact that __PGTABLE_PMD_FOLDED and
      __PGTABLE_PUD_FOLDED are both set and __ARCH_HAS_4LEVEL_HACK is not:
      
      /*
       * The following ifdef needed to get the 4level-fixup.h header to work.
       * Remove it when 4level-fixup.h has been removed.
       */
      #if defined(CONFIG_MMU) && !defined(__ARCH_HAS_4LEVEL_HACK)
      static inline pud_t *pud_alloc(struct mm_struct *mm, pgd_t *pgd, unsigned long address)
      {
              return (unlikely(pgd_none(*pgd)) && __pud_alloc(mm, pgd, address))?
                      NULL: pud_offset(pgd, address);
      }
      
      static inline pmd_t *pmd_alloc(struct mm_struct *mm, pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
      {
              return (unlikely(pud_none(*pud)) && __pmd_alloc(mm, pud, address))?
                      NULL: pmd_offset(pud, address);
      }
      #endif /* CONFIG_MMU && !__ARCH_HAS_4LEVEL_HACK */
      
      With my configuration the pgd_none and pud_none routines are inlines
      returning a constant 0.  Apparently the old compiler avoids generating
      calls to __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc but still lists them as undefined
      references in the module's symbol table.
      
      I don't know which change caused this problem.  I think it was added
      somewhere between 2.6.14 and 2.6.15-rc1, because I remember building
      several 2.6.14-rc kernels without difficulty.  However I can't point to an
      individual culprit.

      mm: re-architect the VM_UNPAGED logic · 6aab341e
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This replaces the (in my opinion horrible) VM_UNMAPPED logic with very
      explicit support for a "remapped page range" aka VM_PFNMAP.  It allows a
      VM area to contain an arbitrary range of page table entries that the VM
      never touches, and never considers to be normal pages.
      
      Any user of "remap_pfn_range()" automatically gets this new
      functionality, and doesn't even have to mark the pages reserved or
      indeed mark them any other way.  It just works.  As a side effect, doing
      mmap() on /dev/mem works for arbitrary ranges.
      
      Sparc update from David in the next commit.
