Previous behavior was "bottom-up" in each section from the pattern "F:" entry that matched. Now information is entered into the various lists in the "as entered" order for each matched section. This also allows the F: entry to be put anywhere in a section, not just as the last entries in the section. And a couple of improvements: Don't alphabetically sort before outputting the matched scm, status, subsystem and web sections. Ignore content after a single email address so these entries are acceptable M: name <address> whatever other comment And a fix: Make an M: entry without a name again use the name from an immediately preceding P: line if it exists.

Allow control over the elimination of duplicate email names and addresses --remove-duplicates will use the first email name or address presented --noremove-duplicates will emit all names and addresses --remove-duplicates is enabled by default For instance: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/char/tty_ioctl.c Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f --noremove-duplicates drivers/char/tty_ioctl.c Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Using --remove-duplicates could eliminate multiple maintainers that share the same name but not the same email address.

--pattern-depth is used to control how many levels of directory traversal should be performed to find maintainers. default is 0 (all directory levels). For instance: MAINTAINERS currently has multiple M: and F: entries that match net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_app.c IPVS M: Wensong Zhang <wensong@linux-vs.org> M: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> M: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> [...] F: net/netfilter/ipvs/ NETFILTER/IPTABLES/IPCHAINS [...] M: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> [...] F: net/netfilter/ NETWORKING [GENERAL] M: "David S.

Before this change, matched sections were added in the order of appearance in the normally alphabetic section order of the MAINTAINERS file. For instance, finding the maintainer for drivers/scsi/wd7000.c would first find "SCSI SUBSYSTEM", then "WD7000 SCSI SUBSYSTEM", then "THE REST". before patch: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -f drivers/scsi/wd7000.c James E.J. Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> Miroslav Zagorac <zaga@fly.cc.fer.hr> linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org get_maintainer.pl now selects matched sections by longest pattern match. Longest is the number of "/"s and any specific file pattern. This changes the example output order of MAINTAINERS to whatever is selected in "WD7000 SUBSYSTEM", then "SCSI SYSTEM", then "THE REST". after patch: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -f drivers/scsi/wd7000.c Miroslav Zagorac <zaga@fly.cc.fer.hr> James E.J.

Julia Lawall suggested that get_maintainers.pl should have the ability to include signatories of commits that are modified by a particular patch. Vegard Nossum did something similar once. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/29/449 The modified script looks the commits for all lines in the patch, and includes the "-by:" signatories for those commits. It uses the same git-min-percent, git-max-maintainers, and git-min-signatures options. git-since is ignored. It can be used independently from the --git default, so ./scripts/get_maintainers.pl --nogit --git-blame <patch> or ./scripts/get_maintainers.pl --nogit --git-blame -f <file> is acceptable. If used with -f <file>, all lines/commits for the file are checked. --git-blame can be slow if used with -f <file> --git-blame does not work with -f <directory> Signed-off-by:

Move the state residency accounting and statistics computation off the hot exit path. On exit, the need to recompute statistics is recorded, and new statistics will be computed when menu_select is called again. The expected effect is to reduce processor wakeup latency from sleep (C-states). We are speaking of few hundreds of cycles reduction out of a several microseconds latency (determined by the hardware transition), so it is difficult to measure. Signed-off-by:

Fix the menu idle governor which balances power savings, energy efficiency and performance impact. The reason for a reworked governor is that there have been serious performance issues reported with the existing code on Nehalem server systems. To show this I'm sure Andrew wants to see benchmark results: (benchmark is "fio", "no cstates" is using "idle=poll") no cstates current linux new algorithm 1 disk 107 Mb/s 85 Mb/s 105 Mb/s 2 disks 215 Mb/s 123 Mb/s 209 Mb/s 12 disks 590 Mb/s 320 Mb/s 585 Mb/s In various power benchmark measurements, no degredation was found by our measurement&diagnostics team. Obviously a small percentage more power was used in the "fio" benchmark, due to the much higher performance. While it would be a novel idea to describe the new algorithm in this commit message, I cheaped out and described it in comments in the code instead.

Convert m68k to use GENERIC_TIME via the arch_getoffset() infrastructure, reducing the amount of arch specific code we need to maintain. I've taken my best swing at converting this, but I'm not 100% confident I got it right. My cross-compiler is now out of date (gcc4.2) so I wasn't able to check if it compiled. Any assistance from arch maintainers or testers to get this merged would be great. Signed-off-by:

Convert m32r to use GENERIC_TIME via the arch_getoffset() infrastructure, reducing the amount of arch specific code we need to maintain. I also noted that m32r doesn't seem to be taking the xtime write lock before calling do_timer()! That looks like a pretty bad bug to me. If folks agree, let me know and I can move the lock grab to the correct spot. Signed-off-by:

Converts alpha to use GENERIC_TIME via the arch_getoffset() infrastructure, reducing the amount of arch specific code we need to maintain. I suspect the alpha arch could even be further improved to provide and rpcc() based clocksource, but not having the hardware, I don't feel comfortable attempting the more complicated conversion (but I'd be glad to help if anyone else is interested).

Some architectures (like the Blackfin arch) implement some of the "simpler" features that one would expect out of a MMU such as memory protection. In our case, we actually get read/write/exec protection down to the page boundary so processes can't stomp on each other let alone the kernel. There is a performance decrease (which depends greatly on the workload) however as the hardware/software interaction was not optimized at design time. Signed-off-by:

When the mm being switched to matches the active mm, we don't need to increment and then drop the mm count. In a simple benchmark this happens in about 50% of time. Making that conditional reduces contention on that cacheline on SMP systems. Acked-by:

This patchset adds a flag to mmap that allows the user to request that an anonymous mapping be backed with huge pages. This mapping will borrow functionality from the huge page shm code to create a file on the kernel internal mount and use it to approximate an anonymous mapping. The MAP_HUGETLB flag is a modifier to MAP_ANONYMOUS and will not work without both flags being preset. A new flag is necessary because there is no other way to hook into huge pages without creating a file on a hugetlbfs mount which wouldn't be MAP_ANONYMOUS. To userspace, this mapping will behave just like an anonymous mapping because the file is not accessible outside of the kernel. This patchset is meant to simplify the programming model. Presently there is a large chunk of boiler platecode, contained in libhugetlbfs, required to create private, hugepage backed mappings. This patch set would allow use of hugepages without linking to libhugetlbfs or having hugetblfs mounted. Unification of the VM code would provide these same benefits, but it has been resisted each time that it has been suggested for several reasons: it would break PAGE_SIZE assumptions across the kernel, it makes page-table abstractions really expensive, and it does not provide any benefit on architectures that do not support huge pages, incurring fast path penalties without providing any benefit on these architectures. This patch: There are two means of creating mappings backed by huge pages: 1. mmap() a file created on hugetlbfs 2. Use shm which creates a file on an internal mount which essentially maps it MAP_SHARED The internal mount is only used for shared mappings but there is very little that stops it being used for private mappings. This patch extends hugetlbfs_file_setup() to deal with the creation of files that will be mapped MAP_PRIVATE on the internal hugetlbfs mount. This extended API is used in a subsequent patch to implement the MAP_HUGETLB mmap() flag. Signed-off-by:
