2008-02-18x86: zap invalid and unused pmds in early bootThomas Gleixner
The early boot code maps KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE (currently 40MB) starting from __START_KERNEL_map. The kernel itself only needs _text to _end mapped in the high alias. On relocatible kernels the ASM setup code adjusts the compile time created high mappings to the relocation. This creates invalid pmd entries for negative offsets: 0xffffffff80000000 -> pmd entry: ffffffffff2001e3 It points outside of the physical address space and is marked present. This starts at the virtual address __START_KERNEL_map and goes up to the point where the first valid physical address (0x0) is mapped. Zap the mappings before _text and after _end right away in early boot. This removes also the invalid entries. Furthermore it simplifies the range check for high aliases.

2008-02-18V4L/DVB (7133): Fix Kconfig dependenciesMauro Carvalho Chehab
As pointed by Adrian Bunk, with I2C=m and VIDEO_DEV=y, videodev brokes. This patch moves the functions that videodev needs from v4l2-common. It also fixes some Kconfig changes. After this patch, I2C=m / VIDEO_DEV=y will make v4l2 core statically linked into kernel. v4l2-common will be m, and all V4L drivers will also be m. This approach is very conservative, since it is possible to have V4L drivers that don't need I2C or v4l2-common. The better is to map what drivers really need v4l2-common, making them to select v4l2-common, and allowing the others to be 'y', 'm' and 'n'.

2008-02-14slub: Support 4k kmallocs again to compensate for page allocator slownessChristoph Lameter
Currently we hand off PAGE_SIZEd kmallocs to the page allocator in the mistaken belief that the page allocator can handle these allocations effectively. However, measurements indicate a minimum slowdown by the factor of 8 (and that is only SMP, NUMA is much worse) vs the slub fastpath which causes regressions in tbench. Increase the number of kmalloc caches by one so that we again handle 4k kmallocs directly from slub. 4k page buffering for the page allocator will be performed by slub like done by slab. At some point the page allocator fastpath should be fixed. A lot of the kernel would benefit from a faster ability to allocate a single page. If that is done then the 4k allocs may again be forwarded to the page allocator and this patch could be reverted.

2008-02-14hrtimer: check relative timeouts for overflowThomas Gleixner
Various user space callers ask for relative timeouts. While we fixed that overflow issue in hrtimer_start(), the sites which convert relative user space values to absolute timeouts themself were uncovered. Instead of putting overflow checks into each place add a function which does the sanity checking and convert all affected callers to use it. Thanks to Frans Pop, who reported the problem and tested the fixes. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Tested-by: Frans Pop <elendil@planet.nl>
2008-02-14[POWERPC] Fix arch/ppc compilation - add typedef for pgtable_tStefan Roese
Commit 2f569afd9ced9ebec9a6eb3dbf6f83429be0a7b4 ("CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables.") breaks compilation of arch/ppc since it introduces the pgtable_t type which was not added to arch/ppc. This adds the missing typedef. Signed-off-by: Stefan Roese <sr@denx.de> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
