As described in e6fa16ab ("signal: sigprocmask() should do
retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current-&gt;blocked is
incorrect as we need to check whether the signal we're about to block
is pending in the shared queue.

<title>PCI: UniCore: convert pcibios_set_master() to a non-inlined function</title>
<updated>2012-01-06T20:10:41+00:00</updated>
<author>

<id>b73224fdcf273956ee52c5c0975ee400231f6cdb</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch converts UniCore's architecture-specific
'pcibios_set_master()' routine to a non-inlined function.  This will
allow follow on patches to create a generic 'pcibios_set_master()'
function using the '__weak' attribute which can be used by all
architectures as a default which, if necessary, can then be over-
ridden by architecture-specific code.

Converting 'pci_bios_set_master()' to a non-inlined function will
allow UniCore's 'pcibios_set_master()' implementation to remain
architecture-specific after the generic version is introduced and
thus, not change current behavior.

No functional change.

This resolves the conflict in the arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/s3c6400.c file,
and it fixes the build error in the arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c
file, that the merge did not catch.

The microcode_core.c patch was provided by Stephen Rothwell
&lt;sfr@canb.auug.org.au&gt; who was invaluable in the merge issues involved
with the large sysdev removal process in the driver-core tree.

The sysdev.h file should not be needed by any in-kernel code, so remove
the .h file from these random files that seem to still want to include
it.

The sysdev code will be going away soon, so this include needs to be
removed no matter what.

Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of
tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single
irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would
needlessly process any RCU job.

Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple
idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.
