2008-08-21kobject: Replace ALL occurrences of '/' with '!' instead of only the first one.Ingo Oeser1-2/+1
A recent patch from Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> replaced the first occurrence of '/' with '!' as needed for block devices. Now do some cheap defensive coding and replace all of them to avoid future issues in this area.

2008-08-16Move sysctl check into debugging section and don't make it default yAndi Kleen1-0/+8
I noticed that sysctl_check.o was the largest object file in a allnoconfig build in kernel/*. 36243 0 0 36243 8d93 kernel/sysctl_check.o This is because it was default y and && EMBEDDED. But I don't really see a need for a non kernel developer to have their sysctls checked all the time. So move the Kconfig into the kernel debugging section and also drop the default y and the EMBEDDED check.

2008-08-15lmb: Fix reserved region handling in lmb_enforce_memory_limit().David S. Miller1-0/+2
The idea of the implementation of this fix is from Michael Ellerman. This function has two loops, but they each interpret the memory_limit value differently. The first loop interprets it as a "size limit" whereas the second loop interprets it as an "address limit". Before the second loop runs, reset memory_limit to lmb_end_of_DRAM() so that it all works out. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Acked-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au>
2008-08-12docsrc: build Documentation/ sourcesRandy Dunlap1-0/+9
Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them. This needs to be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code instead of bad examples. Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir. Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol. Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the Documentation/ sources. Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system. However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need to be installed (for userspace builds). Built (using cross-tools) for x86-64, i386, alpha, ia64, sparc32, sparc64, powerpc, sh, m68k, & mips.

2008-08-12seq_file: add seq_cpumask(), seq_nodemask()Alexey Dobriyan1-0/+11
Short enough reads from /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity return -EINVAL for no good reason. This became noticed with NR_CPUS=4096 patches, when length of printed representation of cpumask becase 1152, but cat(1) continued to read with 1024-byte chunks. bitmap_scnprintf() in good faith fills buffer, returns 1023, check returns -EINVAL. Fix it by switching to seq_file, so handler will just fill buffer and doesn't care about offsets, length, filling EOF and all this crap. For that add seq_bitmap(), and wrappers around it -- seq_cpumask() and seq_nodemask().

2008-07-26dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error()FUJITA Tomonori1-2/+2
Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER architecture does: This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423). I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated. A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before. If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate dma_mapping_ops per device. The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different dma_mapping_error functions. The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in all the architecture. This patch: dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device argument.

2008-07-25inflate: refactor inflate malloc codeThomas Petazzoni1-7/+45
Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot process and this is provided with a set of four functions: malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release. The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement free. This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena. This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying all the malloc/free implementations. The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses: - free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which allocations should be made - free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on the number of allocations, it just grows as much as needed The architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog() function call. This function will be called several times during the decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is still running. If an architecture provides such a call, then it must define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls arch_decomp_wdog(). Work initially done by Matt Mackall, updated to a recent version of the kernel and improved by me.

In numerous cases, callers invoke memparse() to parse a possibly-suffixed string (such as "64K" or "2G" or whatever) and define a character pointer to accept the end pointer being returned by memparse() even though they have no interest in it and promptly throw it away. This (backward-compatible) enhancement allows callers to use NULL in the cases where they just don't care about getting back that end pointer.

2008-07-24rtc: BCD codeshrinkDavid Brownell2-1/+15
This updates <linux/bcd.h> to define the key routines as constant functions, which the macros will then call. Newer code can now call bcd2bin() instead of SCREAMING BCD2BIN() TO THE FOUR WINDS. This lets each driver shrink their codespace by using N function calls to a single (global) copy of those routines, instead of N inlined copies of these functions per driver. These routines aren't used in speed-critical code. Almost all callers are in the RTC framework. Typical per-driver savings is near 300 bytes.

2008-07-24add a helper function to test if an object is on the stackFUJITA Tomonori1-3/+1
lib/debugobjects.c has a function to test if an object is on the stack. The block layer and ide needs it (they need to avoid DMA from/to stack buffers). This patch moves the function to include/linux/sched.h so that everyone can use it. lib/debugobjects.c uses current->stack but this patch uses a task_stack_page() accessor, which is a preferable way to access the stack.

2008-07-24mm: add a basic debugging framework for memory initialisationMel Gorman1-0/+12
Boot initialisation is very complex, with significant numbers of architecture-specific routines, hooks and code ordering. While significant amounts of the initialisation is architecture-independent, it trusts the data received from the architecture layer. This is a mistake, and has resulted in a number of difficult-to-diagnose bugs. This patchset adds some validation and tracing to memory initialisation. It also introduces a few basic defensive measures. The validation code can be explicitly disabled for embedded systems. This patch: Add additional debugging and verification code for memory initialisation. Once enabled, the verification checks are always run and when required additional debugging information may be outputted via a mminit_loglevel= command-line parameter. The verification code is placed in a new file mm/mm_init.c. Ideally other mm initialisation code will be moved here over time.

2008-07-23sg: reimplement sg mapping iteratorTejun Heo1-46/+130
This is alternative implementation of sg content iterator introduced by commit 83e7d317... from Pierre Ossman in next-20080716. As there's already an sg iterator which iterates over sg entries themselves, name this sg_mapping_iterator. Slightly edited description from the original implementation follows. Iteration over a sg list is not that trivial when you take into account that memory pages might have to be mapped before being used. Unfortunately, that means that some parts of the kernel restrict themselves to directly accesible memory just to not have to deal with the mess. This patch adds a simple iterator system that allows any code to easily traverse an sg list and not have to deal with all the details. The user can decide to consume part of the iteration. Also, iteration can be stopped and resumed later if releasing the kmap between iteration steps is necessary. These features are useful to implement piecemeal sg copying for interrupt drive PIO for example. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Pierre Ossman <drzeus@drzeus.cx>
