2009-02-24bootmem: clean up arch-specific bootmem wrappingTejun Heo
Impact: cleaner and consistent bootmem wrapping By setting CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE, archs can define arch-specific wrappers for bootmem allocation. However, this is done a bit strangely in that only the high level convenience macros can be changed while lower level, but still exported, interface functions can't be wrapped. This not only is messy but also leads to strange situation where alloc_bootmem() does what the arch wants it to do but the equivalent __alloc_bootmem() call doesn't although they should be able to be used interchangeably. This patch updates bootmem such that archs can override / wrap the backend function - alloc_bootmem_core() instead of the highlevel interface functions to allow simpler and consistent wrapping. Also, HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE is renamed to HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@saeurebad.de>

2009-01-06remove linux/hardirq.h from asm-generic/local.hRussell King
While looking at reducing the amount of architecture namespace pollution in the generic kernel, I found that asm/irq.h is included in the vast majority of compilations on ARM (around 650 files.) Since asm/irq.h includes a sub-architecture include file on ARM, this causes a negative impact on the ccache's ability to re-use the build results from other sub-architectures, so we have a desire to reduce the dependencies on asm/irq.h. It turns out that a major cause of this is the needless include of linux/hardirq.h into asm-generic/local.h. The patch below removes this include, resulting in some 250 to 300 files (around half) of the kernel then omitting asm/irq.h. My test builds still succeed, provided two ARM files are fixed (arch/arm/kernel/traps.c and arch/arm/mm/fault.c) - so there may be negative impacts for this on other architectures. Note that x86 does not include asm/irq.h nor linux/hardirq.h in its asm/local.h, so this patch can be viewed as bringing the generic version into line with the x86 version.

2009-01-06arch/avr32: Eliminate NULL test and memset after alloc_bootmemJulia Lawall
As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9e04d278316b2faddf276015fc06e3b, alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these functions is unnecessary. This was fixed using the following semantic patch.

2009-01-05avr32: Hammerhead board supportAlex Raimondi
The Hammerhead platform is built around a AVR32 32-bit microcontroller from Atmel. It offers versatile peripherals, such as ethernet, usb device, usb host etc. The board also incooperates a power supply and is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) Powered Device (PD). Additonally, a Cyclone III FPGA from Altera is integrated on the board. The FPGA is mapped into the 32-bit AVR memory bus. The FPGA offers two DDR2 SDRAM interfaces, which will cover even the most exceptional need of memory bandwidth. Together with the onboard video decoder the board is ready for video processing. This patch does include the basic support for the fpga device driver, but not the device driver itself.

2009-01-05avr: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(), dev_set_name()Kay Sievers
(I did not compile or test it, please let me know, or help fixing it, if something is wrong with the conversion) This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device". To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev) must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the name the registered device should have. At registration time, the init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to access the device name at a later time. We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch, and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id. We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from "struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array and does no longer have a size limitation.

2008-10-20container freezer: implement freezer cgroup subsystemMatt Helsley
This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups framework. It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem. The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named freezer.state. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in the cgroup. Reading will return the current state. * Examples of usage : # mkdir /containers/freezer # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers # mkdir /containers/0 # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks to get status of the freezer subsystem : # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING to freeze all tasks in the container : # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FREEZING # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FROZEN to unfreeze all tasks in the container : # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space task in a simple scenario. It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete. In that case we return EBUSY. This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this time. After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read. The state will remain "FREEZING" until one of these things happens: 1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to the freezer.state file 2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal and returns EIO) 3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN" state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

2008-10-20container freezer: add TIF_FREEZE flag to all architecturesMatt Helsley
This patch series introduces a cgroup subsystem that utilizes the swsusp freezer to freeze a group of tasks. It's immediately useful for batch job management scripts. It should also be useful in the future for implementing container checkpoint/restart. The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a cgroup file named freezer.state. Reading freezer.state will return the current state of the cgroup. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in the cgroup. * Examples of usage : # mkdir /containers/freezer # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers # mkdir /containers/0 # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks to get status of the freezer subsystem : # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING to freeze all tasks in the container : # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FREEZING # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FROZEN to unfreeze all tasks in the container : # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING This patch: The first step in making the refrigerator() available to all architectures, even for those without power management. The purpose of such a change is to be able to use the refrigerator() in a new control group subsystem which will implement a control group freezer.

The SET_PERSONALITY macro is always called with a second argument of 0. Remove the ibcs argument and the various tests to set the PER_SVR4 personality. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2008-10-15cpufreq: remove policy->governor setting in drivers initializationDominik Brodowski
As policy->governor is already set to CPUFREQ_DEFAULT_GOVERNOR in the (always built-in) cpufreq core, we do not need to set it in the drivers. This fixes the sparc64 allmodconfig build failure. Also, remove a totally useles setting of ->policy in cpufreq-pxa3xx.c. Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net> Acked-by: David S.
