      x86: setup_smep needs to be __cpuinit · 82da65da
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The setup_smep function gets calle at resume time too, and is thus not a
      pure __init function.  When marked as __init, it gets thrown out after
      the kernel has initialized, and when the kernel is suspended and
      resumed, the code will no longer be around, and we'll get a nice "kernel
      tried to execute NX-protected page" oops because the page is no longer
      marked executable.

      Remove prefetch() from <linux/skbuff.h> and "netlabel_addrlist.h" · a1e4891f
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit e66eed65 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
      iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h.  The skbuff
      list traversal still had them.
      
      Quoth David Miller:
        "Please just remove the prefetches.
      
        Those are modelled after list.h as I intend to eventually convert
        SKB list handling to "struct list_head" but we're not there yet.
      
        Therefore if we kill prefetches from list.h we should kill it from
        these things in skbuff.h too."

      Add appropriate <linux/prefetch.h> include for prefetch users · 70c71606
      Paul Gortmaker authored
      After discovering that wide use of prefetch on modern CPUs
      could be a net loss instead of a win, net drivers which were
      relying on the implicit inclusion of prefetch.h via the list
      headers showed up in the resulting cleanup fallout.  Give
      them an explicit include via the following $0.02 script.
      
       =========================================
       #!/bin/bash
       MANUAL=""
       for i in `git grep -l 'prefetch(.*)' .` ; do
       	grep -q '<linux/prefetch.h>' $i
       	if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
       		continue
       	fi
      
       	(	echo '?^#include <linux/?a'
       		echo '#include <linux/prefetch.h>'
       		echo .
       		echo w
       		echo q
       	) | ed -s $i > /dev/null 2>&1
       	if [ $? != 0 ]; then
       		echo $i needs manual fixup
       		MANUAL="$i $MANUAL"
       	fi
       done
       echo ------------------- 8\<----------------------
       echo vi $MANUAL
