[PATCH] vmlinux.lds: consolidate initcall sections

2006-10-27T22:34:51+00:00

Add a vmlinux.lds.h helper macro for defining the eight-level initcall table,
teach all the architectures to use it.

This is a prerequisite for a patch which performs initcall synchronisation for
multithreaded-probing.

[PATCH] provide kernel_execve on all architectures

2006-10-02T14:57:23+00:00

This adds the new kernel_execve function on all architectures that were using
_syscall3() to implement execve.

The implementation uses code from the _syscall3 macros provided in the
unistd.h header file.  I don't have cross-compilers for any of these
architectures, so the patch is untested with the exception of i386.

Most architectures can probably implement this in a nicer way in assembly or
by combining it with the sys_execve implementation itself, but this should do
it for now.

[PATCH] namespaces: utsname: switch to using uts namespaces

2006-10-02T14:57:21+00:00

Replace references to system_utsname to the per-process uts namespace
where appropriate.  This includes things like uname.

Changes: Per Eric Biederman's comments, use the per-process uts namespace
	for ELF_PLATFORM, sunrpc, and parts of net/ipv4/ipconfig.c

[PATCH] kill wall_jiffies

2006-10-01T07:39:27+00:00

With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies.
So we can kill wall_jiffies completely.

This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior
except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a
condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1".  This condition is never met so I
suppose it is just a bug.  I just remove that condition only instead of
kill the whole "if" block.

[PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem)

2006-09-29T16:18:15+00:00

Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390
timer interrupt handler with this change.

Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but
callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update.  Passing ticks
get rid of this redundant calculation.  Also there are another redundancy
pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky.

This cleanup make a barrier added by
5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless.  So this patch removes
it.

As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now
wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies.  (This patch does not really
remove wall_jiffies.  It would be another cleanup patch)

[PATCH] Change panic_on_oops message to "Fatal exception"

2006-08-14T19:54:29+00:00

Previously the message was "Fatal exception: panic_on_oops", as introduced
in a recent patch whith removed a somewhat dangerous call to ssleep() in
the panic_on_oops path.  However, Paul Mackerras suggested that this was
somewhat confusing, leadind people to believe that it was panic_on_oops
that was the root cause of the fatal exception.  On his suggestion, this
patch changes the message to simply "Fatal exception".  A suitable oops
message should already have been displayed.

[PATCH] panic_on_oops: remove ssleep()

2006-07-31T20:28:39+00:00

This patch is part of an effort to unify the panic_on_oops behaviour across
all architectures that implement it.

It was pointed out to me by Andi Kleen that if an oops has occured in
interrupt context, then calling sleep() in the oops path will only cause a
panic, and that it would be really better for it not to be in the path at
all.

This patch removes the ssleep() call and reworks the console message
accordinly.  I have a slght concern that the resulting console message is
too long, feedback welcome.

For powerpc it also unifies the 32bit and 64bit behaviour.

Fror x86_64, this patch only updates the console message, as ssleep() is
already not present.

[PATCH] tty: Remove include of screen_info.h from tty.h

2006-07-10T20:24:16+00:00

screen_info.h doesn't have anything to do with the tty layer and shouldn't be
included by tty.h.  This patches removes the include and modifies all users to
directly include screen_info.h.  struct screen_info is mainly used to
communicate with the console drivers in drivers/video/console.  Note that this
patch touches every arch and I have no way of testing it.  If there is a
mistake the worst thing that will happen is a compile error.
