      s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file names · a53c8fab
      Heiko Carstens authored
      Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
      cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.
      
      Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
      different statements and wanted to change them one after another
      whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
      people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
      for new files.
      So unify all of them in one go.

      [S390] kernel: Add z/VM LGR detection · 3ab121ab
      Michael Holzheu authored
      Currently the following mechanisms are available to move active
      Linux on System z instances between machines:
      * z/VM 6.2 SSI (Single System Image)
      * Suspend/resume
      For moving Linux instances in this patch the term LGR (Linux Guest
      Relocation) is used. Because such an operation is critical, it
      should be detectable from Linux. With this patch for both, a live
      system and a kernel dump, the information about LGRs is accessible.
      To identify a guest, stsi and stfle data is used. A new function
      lgr_info_log() compares the current data (lgr_info_cur) with the
      last recorded one (lgr_info_last). In case the two data sets differ,
      lgr_info_cur is logged to the "lgr" s390dbf.
      
      The following trigger points call lgr_info_log():
      * panic
      * die
      * kdump
      * LGR timer
      * PSW restart
      * QDIO recovery
      * resume
      
      This patch also changes the s390dbf hex_ascii view. Now only printable ASCII
      characters are shown.

      llseek: automatically add .llseek fop · 6038f373
      Arnd Bergmann authored
      All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
      nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
      .llseek pointer.
      
      The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
      and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
      the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
      the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
      
      New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
      and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
      to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
      relies on calling seek on the device file.
      
      The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
      comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
      chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
      be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
      seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
      
      Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
      the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
      
      Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
      patch that does all this.

      tree-wide: convert open calls to remove spaces to skip_spaces() lib function · e7d2860b
      André Goddard Rosa authored
      Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading
      spaces from strings all over the tree.
      
      It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide:
         text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
        64688     584     592   65864   10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE)
        64641     584     592   65817   10119 (TOTALS-AFTER)
      
      Also, while at it, if we see (*str && isspace(*str)), we can be sure to
      remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also
      evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words,
      "a char equals zero is never a space".
      
      Julia Lawall tried the semantic patch (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr) below,
      and found occurrences of this pattern on 3 more files:
          drivers/leds/led-class.c

      [PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls · 5cbded58
      Robert P. J. Day authored
      Run this:
      
      	#!/bin/sh
      	for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
      	  echo "De-casting $f..."

      	done
      
      And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
      to non-pointers.
      
      And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

      [PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_private · 8e18e294
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
      on a UP x86.  (It would be more on an x86_64 system).  This is a 10% reduction
      in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
      (i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
      save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
      disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
      in the VFS inode structure).
      
      This patch:
      
      The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
      which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
      using the void pointer.  Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
      a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer.  This is just a
      cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
      the union will actually be used.

      [PATCH] s390: debug feature changes · 66a464db
      Michael Holzheu authored
      This patch changes the memory allocation method for the s390 debug feature.
      Trace buffers had been allocated using the get_free_pages() function before.
      Therefore it was not possible to get big memory areas in a running system due
      to memory fragmentation.  Now the trace buffers are subdivided into several
      subbuffers with pagesize.  Therefore it is now possible to allocate more
      memory for the trace buffers and more trace records can be written.
      
      In addition to that, dynamic specification of the size of the trace buffers is
      implemented.  It is now possible to change the size of a trace buffer using a
      new debugfs file instance.  When writing a number into this file, the trace
      buffer size is changed to 'number * pagesize'.
      
      In the past all the traces could be obtained from userspace by accessing files
      in the "proc" filesystem.  Now with debugfs we have a new filesystem which
      should be used for debugging purposes.  This patch moves the debug feature
      from procfs to debugfs.
      
      Since the interface of debug_register() changed, all device drivers, which use
      the debug feature had to be adjusted.

      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!
