2007-05-02[PATCH] x86: Allow percpu variables to be page-alignedJeremy Fitzhardinge
Let's allow page-alignment in general for per-cpu data (wanted by Xen, and Ingo suggested KVM as well). Because larger alignments can use more room, we increase the max per-cpu memory to 64k rather than 32k: it's getting a little tight.

2007-04-12[SPARC]: avoid CHILD_MAX and OPEN_MAX constantsRoland McGrath
I don't figure anyone really cares about SunOS syscall emulation, and I certainly don't. But I'm getting rid of uses of the OPEN_MAX and CHILD_MAX compile-time constant, and these are almost the only ones. OPEN_MAX is a bogus constant with no meaning about anything. The RLIMIT_NOFILE resource limit is what sysconf (_SC_OPEN_MAX) actually wants to return. The CHILD_MAX cases weren't actually using anything I want to get rid of, but I noticed that they are there and are wrong too. The CHILD_MAX value is not really unlimited as a -1 return from sysconf indicates. The RLIMIT_NPROC resource limit is what sysconf (_SC_CHILD_MAX) wants to return.

2007-03-02[SPARC]: Fix bus handling in build_device_resources().David S. Miller
We mistakedly modify 'bus' in the innermost loop. What should happen is that at each register index iteration, we start with the same 'bus'. So preserve it's value at the top level, and use a loop local variable 'dbus' for iteration. This bug causes registers other than the first to be decoded improperly. Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-02-12[SPARC]: Re-export saved_command_line to modules.David S. Miller
This reverts some bogosity from the dynamic command-line changes made on sparc32 and sparc64. Drivers such as drivers/sbus/char/openprom.c reference saved_command_line, and can be modular.

2007-02-11[PATCH] consolidate line discipline number definitionsTilman Schmidt
The line discipline numbers N_* are currently defined for each architecture individually, but (except for a seeming mistake) identically, in asm/termios.h. There is no obvious reason why these numbers should be architecture specific, nor any apparent relationship with the termios structure. The total number of these, NR_LDISCS, is defined in linux/tty.h anyway. So I propose the following patch which moves the definitions of the individual line disciplines to linux/tty.h too. Three of these numbers (N_MASC, N_PROFIBUS_FDL, and N_SMSBLOCK) are unused in the current kernel, but the patch still keeps the complete set in case there are plans to use them yet.

However, sparc vmlinux has plenty of relocatable sections because it is being built with 'ld -r' (to allow for btfixup processing). So for sparc, modpost does do a lot of checking. Sure enough, running modpost on arch/sparc/boot/image yields no output (i.e. all is well). modpost.c check_sec_ref() has: /* We want to process only relocation sections and not .init */ if (sechdrs[i].sh_type == SHT_RELA) { // check here } else if (sechdrs[i].sh_type == SHT_REL) { // check here } Signed-off-by: Martin Habets <errandir_news@mph.eclipse.co.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-10-03[PATCH] VFS: Make filldir_t and struct kstat deal in 64-bit inode numbersDavid Howells
These patches make the kernel pass 64-bit inode numbers internally when communicating to userspace, even on a 32-bit system. They are required because some filesystems have intrinsic 64-bit inode numbers: NFS3+ and XFS for example. The 64-bit inode numbers are then propagated to userspace automatically where the arch supports it. Problems have been seen with userspace (eg: ld.so) using the 64-bit inode number returned by stat64() or getdents64() to differentiate files, and failing because the 64-bit inode number space was compressed to 32-bits, and so overlaps occur. This patch: Make filldir_t take a 64-bit inode number and struct kstat carry a 64-bit inode number so that 64-bit inode numbers can be passed back to userspace. The stat functions then returns the full 64-bit inode number where available and where possible. If it is not possible to represent the inode number supplied by the filesystem in the field provided by userspace, then error EOVERFLOW will be issued. Similarly, the getdents/readdir functions now pass the full 64-bit inode number to userspace where possible, returning EOVERFLOW instead when a directory entry is encountered that can't be properly represented. Note that this means that some inodes will not be stat'able on a 32-bit system with old libraries where they were before - but it does mean that there will be no ambiguity over what a 32-bit inode number refers to. Note similarly that directory scans may be cut short with an error on a 32-bit system with old libraries where the scan would work before for the same reasons. It is judged unlikely that this situation will occur because modern glibc uses 64-bit capable versions of stat and getdents class functions exclusively, and that older systems are unlikely to encounter unrepresentable inode numbers anyway.
