arch: Use <linux/capability.h> where capable() is used. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-01-08[PATCH] Make apm buildable without legacy pmDave Jones
APM doesn't _need_ the PM_LEGACY junk, so remove it's dependancy from Kconfig, and ifdef the junk in the code. Whilst the ifdefs are ugly, when the legacy stuff gets ripped out so will the ifdefs.

2006-01-06[PATCH] APM Screen Blanking fixJordan Crouse
- Fix screen blanking on BIOSes that return APM_NOT_ENGAGED when APM enabled screen blanking is not turned on. The original code only tried to set the state on device 0x100, and then 0x1FF, and I added 0x101 to the mix too. - Clean up logic in apm_console_blank(). - Prevent the error message from printing out twice.

2006-01-06[PATCH] x86: Apm is on cpu zero onlyZachary Amsden
APM BIOS code has a protective wrapper that runs it only on CPU zero. Thus, no need to set APM BIOS segments in the GDT for other CPUs.

2006-01-06[PATCH] x86: Apm seg in gdtZachary Amsden
Since APM BIOS segment limits are now fixed, set them in head.S GDT and don't use the complicated _set_limit() macro expansion.

2006-01-06[PATCH] x86: Always relax segmentsZachary Amsden
APM BIOSes have many bugs regarding proper representation of the appropriate segment limits for calling the BIOS. By default, APM_RELAX_SEGMENTS is always turned on to support running the APM BIOS on these buggy machines. Keeping 64k limits poses very little danger to the kernel, because the pages where the APM BIOS is located will always be in low physical memory BIOS areas, which should already be marked reserved, and only buggy BIOSes would possibly overstep the segment bounds with writes to data anyway. Since forcing stricter limits breaks many machines and is not default behavior, it seems reasonable to deprecate the older code which may cause APM BIOS to fault. If you really have a badly enough broken APM BIOS that you have to turn off APM_RELAX_SEGMENTS, seems like the best recourse here would be to disable the APM BIOS and / or not compile it into your kernel to begin with, and / or add your system to the known bad list. The reason I want to deprecate this code is there is underlying brokenness with the set_limit macros, and getting rid of many of the call sites rather than rewriting them seems to be the simplest and most correct course of action.

2006-01-06[PATCH] x86: GDT alignment fixZachary Amsden
Make GDT page aligned and page padded to support running inside of a hypervisor. This prevents false sharing of the GDT page with other hot data, which is not allowed in Xen, and causes performance problems in VMware. Rather than go back to the old method of statically allocating the GDT (which wastes unneded space for non-present CPUs), the GDT for APs is allocated dynamically.

2005-11-13[PATCH] move pm_register/etc. to CONFIG_PM_LEGACY, pm_legacy.hJeff Garzik

2005-11-09[PATCH] sched: resched and cpu_idle reworkNick Piggin
Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce confusion, and make their semantics rigid. Improves efficiency of resched_task and some cpu_idle routines. * In resched_task: - TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held, and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe. - If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off. - If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required. - If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI. Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of POLLING_NRFLAG. * In idle routines: - Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer (IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet. - Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching to the idle thread. - Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into a halt requiring interrupt wakeup. Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling the idle task. POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
