powerpc: remove non-required uses of include

2011-10-31T23:30:44+00:00

None of the files touched here are modules, and they are not
exporting any symbols either -- so there is no need to be including
the module.h.  Builds of all the files remains successful.

Even kernel/module.c does not need to include it, since it includes
linux/moduleloader.h instead.

mm: arch: rename in_gate_area_no_task to in_gate_area_no_mm

2011-03-23T20:36:55+00:00

Now that gate vma's are referenced with respect to a particular mm and not a
particular task it only makes sense to propagate the change to this predicate as
well.

mm: arch: make in_gate_area take an mm_struct instead of a task_struct

2011-03-23T20:36:54+00:00

Morally, the question of whether an address lies in a gate vma should be asked
with respect to an mm, not a particular task.  Moreover, dropping the dependency
on task_struct will help make existing and future operations on mm's more
flexible and convenient.

mm: arch: make get_gate_vma take an mm_struct instead of a task_struct

2011-03-23T20:36:54+00:00

Morally, the presence of a gate vma is more an attribute of a particular mm than
a particular task.  Moreover, dropping the dependency on task_struct will help
make both existing and future operations on mm's more flexible and convenient.

lmb: rename to memblock

2010-07-14T07:14:00+00:00

via following scripts

      FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

      sed -i \
        -e 's/lmb/memblock/g' \
        -e 's/LMB/MEMBLOCK/g' \
        $FILES

      for N in $(find . -name lmb.[ch]); do
        M=$(echo $N | sed 's/lmb/memblock/g')
        mv $N $M
      done

and remove some wrong change like lmbench and dlmb etc.

also move memblock.c from lib/ to mm/

tree-wide: fix a very frequent spelling mistake

2009-11-09T08:40:54+00:00

something-bility is spelled as something-blity
so a grep for 'blit' would find these lines

this is so trivial that I didn't split it by subsystem / copy
additional maintainers - all changes are to comments
The only purpose is to get fewer false positives when grepping
around the kernel sources.

powerpc/perf_counter: Fix vdso detection

2009-09-24T05:31:45+00:00

perf_counter uses arch_vma_name() to detect a vdso region which in turn uses
current->mm->context.vdso_base. We need to initialise this before doing
the mmap or else we fail to detect the vdso.

Use macros for .data.page_aligned section.

2009-09-21T04:27:08+00:00

This patch changes the remaining direct references to
.data.page_aligned in C and assembly code to use the macros in
include/linux/linkage.h.
