ashmem for 2.6.27.

2011-12-01T05:37:55+00:00

Forward port of ashmem to 2.6.27.

ashmem: Don't install fault handler for private mmaps.

Ashmem is used to create named private heaps. If this heap is backed
by a tmpfs file it will allocate two pages for every page touched.
In 2.6.27, the extra page would later be freed, but 2.6.29 does not
scan anonymous pages when running without swap so the memory is not
freed while the file is referenced. This change changes the behavior
of private ashmem mmaps to match /dev/zero instead tmpfs.

ashmem: don't require a page aligned size

This makes ashmem more similar to shmem and mmap, by
not requiring the specified size to be page aligned,
instead rounding it internally as needed.

gcov: disable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS when not needed by CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL

2011-06-16T03:04:01+00:00

CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS controls support for running constructor functions at
kernel init time.  According to commit b99b87f70c7785ab ("kernel:
constructor support"), gcov (CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL) needs this.  However,
CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS currently defaults to y, with no option to disable it,
and CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL depends on it.  Instead, default it to n and have
CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL select it, so that the normal case of
CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=n will result in CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS=n.

Observed in the short list of =y values in a minimal kernel configuration.

uts: make default hostname configurable, rather than always using "(none)"

2011-06-16T03:04:00+00:00

The "hostname" tool falls back to setting the hostname to "localhost" if
/etc/hostname does not exist.  Distribution init scripts have the same
fallback.  However, if userspace never calls sethostname, such as when
booting with init=/bin/sh, or otherwise booting a minimal system without
the usual init scripts, the default hostname of "(none)" remains,
unhelpfully appearing in various places such as prompts ("root@(none):~#")
and logs.  Furthermore, "(none)" doesn't typically resolve to anything
useful.

Make the default hostname configurable.  This removes the need for the
standard fallback, provides a useful default for systems that never call
sethostname, and makes minimal systems that much more useful with less
configuration.  Distributions could choose to use "localhost" here to
avoid the fallback, while embedded systems may wish to use a specific
target hostname.

pcspkr: Cleanup Kconfig dependencies

2011-06-09T13:01:41+00:00

Lenghty lists of the kind "depends on ARCH1 || ARCH2 ... || ARCH123" are
usually either wrong or too coarse grained.  Or plain an ugly sin.

debug: Make CONFIG_EXPERT select CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL to unhide debug options

2011-06-06T22:05:15+00:00

Several debugging options currently default to y, such as
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA.  Embedded users
might want to turn those options off to save space; however,
turning them off requires turning on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL to
unhide them.  Since CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL exists specifically to
unhide debugging options, and CONFIG_EXPERT exists specifically
to unhide options potentially needed by experts and/or embedded
users, make CONFIG_EXPERT automatically imply
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL.
