2009-06-09menu: fix embedded menu presentationRandy Dunlap
The STRIP_ASM_SYMS kconfig symbol mucks up the embedded menu because STRIP_ASM_SYMS is in the middle of the embedded menu items but it does not depend on EMBEDDED. Move it to beyond the end of the embedded menu so that the menu is presented correctly. Or if STRIP_ASM_SYMS should depend on EMBEDDED, that can also be fixed.

2009-05-06initramfs: clean up messages related to initramfs unpackingEric Piel
With the removal of duplicate unpack_to_rootfs() (commit df52092f3c97788592ef72501a43fb7ac6a3cfe0) the messages displayed do not actually correspond to what the kernel is doing. In addition, depending if ramdisks are supported or not, the messages are not at all the same. So keep the messages more in sync with what is really doing the kernel, and only display a second message in case of failure. This also ensure that the printk message cannot be split by other printk's. Signed-off-by: Eric Piel <eric.piel@tremplin-utc.net> Acked-by: H.

2009-04-16Driver Core: early platform driverMagnus Damm
V3 of the early platform driver implementation. Platform drivers are great for embedded platforms because we can separate driver configuration from the actual driver. So base addresses, interrupts and other configuration can be kept with the processor or board code, and the platform driver can be reused by many different platforms. For early devices we have nothing today. For instance, to configure early timers and early serial ports we cannot use platform devices. This because the setup order during boot. Timers are needed before the platform driver core code is available. The same goes for early printk support. Early in this case means before initcalls. These early drivers today have their configuration either hard coded or they receive it using some special configuration method. This is working quite well, but if we want to support both regular kernel modules and early devices then we need to have two ways of configuring the same driver. A single way would be better. The early platform driver patch is basically a set of functions that allow drivers to register themselves and architecture code to locate them and probe. Registration happens through early_param(). The time for the probe is decided by the architecture code. See Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt for more details.

2009-04-13initramfs: fix initramfs to work with hardlinked initRandy Robertson
Change cb6ff208076b5f434db1b8c983429269d719cef5 ("NOMMU: Support XIP on initramfs") seems to have broken booting from initramfs with /sbin/init being a hardlink. It seems like the logic required for XIP on nommu, i.e. ftruncate to reported cpio header file size (body_len) is broken for hardlinks, which have a reported size of 0, and the truncate thus nukes the contents of the file (in my case busybox), making boot impossible and ending with runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000 - and of course 0000 is not a valid binary format. My fix is to only call ftruncate if size is non-zero which fixes things for me, but I'm not certain whether this will break XIP for those files on nommu systems, although I would guess not.

Make it possible for the linker to discard local symbols from vmlinux as they cause vmlinux to balloon when CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y and they cause dump_stack() and get_wchan() to produce useless information under some circumstances. With this we add a config option (CONFIG_STRIP_ASM_SYMS) that will cause the build to supply -X to the linker to tell it to strip temporary local symbols. This doesn't seem to cause gdb any problems.

2009-04-03Create a dynamically sized pool of threads for doing very slow work itemsDavid Howells
Create a dynamically sized pool of threads for doing very slow work items, such as invoking mkdir() or rmdir() - things that may take a long time and may sleep, holding mutexes/semaphores and hogging a thread, and are thus unsuitable for workqueues. The number of threads is always at least a settable minimum, but more are started when there's more work to do, up to a limit. Because of the nature of the load, it's not suitable for a 1-thread-per-CPU type pool. A system with one CPU may well want several threads. This is used by FS-Cache to do slow caching operations in the background, such as looking up, creating or deleting cache objects.

Impact: cleanup (Thanks to Al Viro for reminding me of this, via Ingo) CPU_MASK_ALL is the (deprecated) "all bits set" cpumask, defined as so: #define CPU_MASK_ALL (cpumask_t) { { ... } } Taking the address of such a temporary is questionable at best, unfortunately 321a8e9d (cpumask: add CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR macro) added CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR: #define CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR (&CPU_MASK_ALL) Which formalizes this practice. One day gcc could bite us over this usage (though we seem to have gotten away with it so far). So replace everywhere which used &CPU_MASK_ALL or CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR with the modern "cpu_all_mask" (a real const struct cpumask *).

2009-03-25init,cpuset: fix initialize orderLai Jiangshan
Impact: cpuset_wq should be initialized after init_workqueues() When I read /debugfs/tracing/trace_stat/workqueues, I got this: # CPU INSERTED EXECUTED NAME # | | | | 0 0 0 cpuset 0 285 285 events/0 0 2 2 work_on_cpu/0 0 1115 1115 khelper 0 325 325 kblockd/0 0 0 0 kacpid 0 0 0 kacpi_notify 0 0 0 ata/0 0 0 0 ata_aux 0 0 0 ksuspend_usbd 0 0 0 aio/0 0 0 0 nfsiod 0 0 0 kpsmoused 0 0 0 kstriped 0 0 0 kondemand/0 0 1 1 hid_compat 0 0 0 rpciod/0 1 64 64 events/1 1 2 2 work_on_cpu/1 1 5 5 kblockd/1 1 0 0 ata/1 1 0 0 aio/1 1 0 0 kondemand/1 1 0 0 rpciod/1 I found "cpuset" is at the earliest. I found a create_singlethread_workqueue() is earlier than init_workqueues(): kernel_init() ->cpuset_init_smp() ->create_singlethread_workqueue() ->do_basic_setup() ->init_workqueues() I think it's better that create_singlethread_workqueue() is called after workqueue subsystem has been initialized.

2009-03-10menu: fix embedded menu snafuRandy Dunlap
The COMPAT_BRK kconfig symbol does not depend on EMBEDDED, but it is in the midst of the EMBEDDED menu symbols, so it mucks up the EMBEDDED menu. Fix by moving it to just after all of the EMBEDDED menu symbols. Also, ANON_INODES has a similar problem, so move it to just above the EMBEDDED menu items since it is used in the EMBEDDED menu.
