2007-10-19pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()Serge E. Hallyn
is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init(). This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a bug rather than force a kernel panic.

2007-10-17x86: rename .i assembler includes to .hAdrian Bunk
.i is an ending used for preprocessed stuff. This patch therefore renames assembler include files to .h and guards the contents with an #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__.

2007-10-17i386: Remove strrchr assembler implementationAndi Kleen
The constraints in the inline assembler implementation of i386 strrchr() were incorrect and break the build with recent gcc 4.3. Since there are only very few callers of strrchr() and none of them are performance relevant just remove the assembler implementation and use the C fallback instead.

2007-10-12x86: fence oostores on 64-bitNick Piggin
movnt* instructions are not strongly ordered with respect to other stores, so if we are to assume stores are strongly ordered in the rest of the 64 bit code, we must fence these off (see similar examples in 32 bit code). [ The AMD memory ordering document seems to say that nontemporal stores can also pass earlier regular stores, so maybe we need sfences _before_ movnt* everywhere too? ] Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
