frv: Use core allocator for task_struct

2013-08-20T15:26:28+00:00

commit c6ae063aaf3786b9db7f19a90bf4ed8aaebb7f90 upstream.

There is no point having a copy of the core allocator.

frv: Use correct size for task_struct allocation

2013-08-20T15:26:28+00:00

commit cce4517f33384c3794c759e206cc8e1bb6df146b upstream.

alloc_task_struct_node() allocates THREAD_SIZE and maintains some
weird refcount in the allocated memory. This never blew up as
task_struct size on 32bit machines was always less than THREAD_SIZE

Allocate just sizeof(struct task_struct) and get rid of the magic
refcounting.

frv: Add missing RCU idle APIs on idle loop

2012-10-12T20:38:54+00:00

commit 41d8fe5bb3cf91ce2716ac8f43e4b40d802a99c8 upstream.

In the old times, the whole idle task was considered
as an RCU quiescent state. But as RCU became more and
more successful overtime, some RCU read side critical
section have been added even in the code of some
architectures idle tasks, for tracing for example.

So nowadays, rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() must
be called by the architecture to tell RCU about the part
in the idle loop that doesn't make use of rcu read side
critical sections, typically the part that puts the CPU
in low power mode.

This is necessary for RCU to find the quiescent states in
idle in order to complete grace periods.

Add this missing pair of calls in the Frv's idle loop.

All Arch: remove linkage for sys_nfsservctl system call

The nfsservctl system call is now gone, so we should remove all

frv, exec: remove redundant set_fs(USER_DS)

2011-07-26T23:49:41+00:00

The address limit is already set in flush_old_exec() so those calls to
set_fs(USER_DS) are redundant.

Also removed the dead code in flush_thread().

modules: make arch's use default loader hooks

2011-07-24T12:36:04+00:00

This patch removes all the module loader hook implementations in the
architecture specific code where the functionality is the same as that
now provided by the recently added default hooks.
