remove unused TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag

2007-07-31T22:39:38+00:00

Remove unused TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag for all processor architectures.  The
flag was not used excecpt on IA-64 where the patch replaces it with
TIF_PERFMON_WORK.

sh: Clear UBC when not in use.

2007-03-05T05:13:25+00:00

This takes care of tearing down the UBC so it's not inadvertently
left configured at the next context switch time. Failure to do
this results in spurious SIGTRAPs in certain debug sequences.

sh: More tidying for large base pages.

2007-02-13T01:54:44+00:00

There were a few more things that needed fixing up, namely THREAD_SIZE
and the TLB miss handler where certain PTRS_PER_PGD == PTRS_PER_PTE
assumptions were being made.

[PATCH] PM: Fix SMP races in the freezer

2006-12-13T17:05:49+00:00

Currently, to tell a task that it should go to the refrigerator, we set the
PF_FREEZE flag for it and send a fake signal to it.  Unfortunately there
are two SMP-related problems with this approach.  First, a task running on
another CPU may be updating its flags while the freezer attempts to set
PF_FREEZE for it and this may leave the task's flags in an inconsistent
state.  Second, there is a potential race between freeze_process() and
refrigerator() in which freeze_process() running on one CPU is reading a
task's PF_FREEZE flag while refrigerator() running on another CPU has just
set PF_FROZEN for the same task and attempts to reset PF_FREEZE for it.  If
the refrigerator wins the race, freeze_process() will state that PF_FREEZE
hasn't been set for the task and will set it unnecessarily, so the task
will go to the refrigerator once again after it's been thawed.

To solve first of these problems we need to stop using PF_FREEZE to tell
tasks that they should go to the refrigerator.  Instead, we can introduce a
special TIF_*** flag and use it for this purpose, since it is allowed to
change the other tasks' TIF_*** flags and there are special calls for it.

To avoid the freeze_process()-refrigerator() race we can make
freeze_process() to always check the task's PF_FROZEN flag after it's read
its "freeze" flag.  We should also make sure that refrigerator() will
always reset the task's "freeze" flag after it's set PF_FROZEN for it.

sh: Fixup various PAGE_SIZE == 4096 assumptions.

2006-12-06T01:45:39+00:00

There were a number of places that made evil PAGE_SIZE == 4k
assumptions that ended up breaking when trying to play with
8k and 64k page sizes, this fixes those up.

The most significant change is the way we load THREAD_SIZE,
previously this was done via:

	mov	#(THREAD_SIZE >> 8), reg
	shll8	reg

to avoid a memory access and allow the immediate load. With
a 64k PAGE_SIZE, we're out of range for the immediate load
size without resorting to special instructions available in
later ISAs (movi20s and so on). The "workaround" for this is
to bump up the shift to 10 and insert a shll2, which gives a
bit more flexibility while still being much cheaper than a
memory access.

sh: Add support for 4K stacks.

2006-09-27T09:22:14+00:00

This enables support for 4K stacks on SH.

Currently this depends on DEBUG_KERNEL, but likely all boards
will switch to this as the default in the future.

sh: Fixup __strnlen_user() behaviour.

2006-09-27T08:07:07+00:00

Drop TIF_USERSPACE and add addr_limit to the thread_info struct.
Subsequently, use that for address checking in strnlen_user() to
ward off bogus -EFAULTs.

Make __strnlen_user() return 0 on exception, rather than -EFAULT.
