This patch makes the IOMMU code not allocate a memory area spanning LLD's segment boundary. is_span_boundary() judges whether a memory area spans LLD's segment boundary. If iommu_arena_find_pages() finds such a area, it tries to find the next available memory area. Signed-off-by:

iommu_arena_find_pages duplicates the code to access to the bitmap for free space management. This patch convert the IOMMU code to have only one place to access the bitmap, in the popular way that other IOMMUs (e.g. POWER and SPARC) do. This patch is preparation for modifications to fix the IOMMU segment boundary problem. Signed-off-by:

Adrian Bunk reported another compile error with a SVN head GCC: ... CC arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/string.o /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/string.c:138: error: lvalue required as increment operand /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/string.c:138: error: lvalue required as increment operand /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/cris/arch-v10/lib/string.c:139: error: lvalue required as increment operand ... This is due to the use of the construct: *((long*)dst)++ = lc; Which isn't legal since casts don't return an lvalue. The solution is to import the implementation from newlib, which is continually autotested together with GCC mainline, and uses the construct: *(long *) dst = lc; dst += 4; Since this is an import of a file from newlib, I'm not touching the formatting or correcting any checkpatch errors. As for the earlier fix for memset.c, even if the two files for CRIS v10 and CRIS v32 are identical at the moment, it might be possible to tweak the CRIS v32 version. Thus, I'm not yet folding them into the same file, at least not until we've done some research on it. Signed-off-by:

We should be able to do ndelay(some_u64), but that can cause a call to __divdi3() to be emitted because the ndelay() macros does a divide. Fix it by switching to static inline which will force the u64 arg to be treated as an unsigned long. udelay() takes an unsigned long arg.

The patch replaces dev_dbg() by dev_err(), so the user could actually see the error, instead of wondering why w1 doesn't work. The root cause of the bus reset error isn't yet debugged though, but this sometimes happens on iPaq H5555. And while I'm at it, some cosmetic cleanups also made (few lines were using spaces instead of tabs). Signed-off-by:

People are adding `noinline' in various places to prevent excess stack consumption due to gcc inlining. But once this is done, it is quite unobvious why the `noinline' is present in the code. We can comment each and every site, or we can use noinline_for_stack. Signed-off-by:

Patch originally by Randy Dunlap. o Updated the patch to apply on 2.6.25-rc3 o Modified examples code to build on multiple architectures. Currently, the kprobe and jprobe examples code works for x86 and powerpc o Cleaned up unneeded #includes o Cleaned up Kconfig per Sam Ravnborg's suggestions to fix build break on archs that don't have kretprobes o Implemented suggestions by Mathieu Desnoyers on CONFIG_KRETPROBES o Included Andrew Morton's cleanup based on x86-git o Modified kretprobe_example to act as a arch-agnostic module to determine routine execution times: Use 'modprobe kretprobe_example func=<func_name>' to determine execution time of func_name in nanoseconds.

Add CONFIG_HAVE_KRETPROBES to the arch/<arch>/Kconfig file for relevant architectures with kprobes support. This facilitates easy handling of in-kernel modules (like samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c) that depend on kretprobes being present in the kernel. Thanks to Sam Ravnborg for helping make the patch more lean. Per Mathieu's suggestion, added CONFIG_KRETPROBES and fixed up dependencies. Signed-off-by:

VT notifier callbacks need to be aware of console switches. This is already partially done from console_callback(), but at that time fg_console, cursor positions, etc. are not yet updated and hence screen readers fetch the old values. This adds an update notify after all of the values are updated in redraw_screen(vc, 1). Signed-off-by:

Some oprofile results obtained while using tbench on a 2x2 cpu machine were very surprising. For example, loopback_xmit() function was using high number of cpu cycles to perform the statistic updates, supposed to be real cheap since they use percpu data pcpu_lstats = netdev_priv(dev); lb_stats = per_cpu_ptr(pcpu_lstats, smp_processor_id()); lb_stats->packets++; /* HERE : serious contention */ lb_stats->bytes += skb->len; struct pcpu_lstats is a small structure containing two longs. It appears that on my 32bits platform, alloc_percpu(8) allocates a single cache line, instead of giving to each cpu a separate cache line. Using the following patch gave me impressive boost in various benchmarks ( 6 % in tbench) (all percpu_counters hit this bug too) Long term fix (ie >= 2.6.26) would be to let each CPU allocate their own block of memory, so that we dont need to roudup sizes to L1_CACHE_BYTES, or merging the SGI stuff of course... Note : SLUB vs SLAB is important here to *show* the improvement, since they dont have the same minimum allocation sizes (8 bytes vs 32 bytes). This could very well explain regressions some guys reported when they switched to SLUB. Signed-off-by:Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Acked-by:

Add a <linux/gpio.h> defining fail/warn stubs for GPIO calls on platforms that don't support the GPIO programming interface. That includes the arch-specific implementation glue otherwise. This facilitates a new model for GPIO usage: drivers that can use GPIOs if they're available, but don't require them. One example of such a driver is NAND driver for various FreeScale chips. On platforms update with GPIO support, they can be used instead of a worst-case delay to verify that the BUSY signal is off. (Also includes a couple minor unrelated doc updates.) Signed-off-by:

Commit 2f569afd (CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables) introduced use of inc_zone_page_state and dec_zone_page_state in include/linux/mm.h. Those are defined in include/linux/vmstat.h, but after it includes mm.h, making it impossible to include vmstat.h since inc_zone_page_state and dec_zone_page_state then would be undefined. arch/cris/arch-v10/kernel/time.c does just this, which makes the CRIS v10 build break with the following error: ...
