Remove attribute((weak)) from sys_pipe/sys_pipe2

2009-01-18T18:43:51Z

commit 1134723e96f6e2abcf8bfd7a2d1c96fcc323ef35 upstream. Remove __attribute__((weak)) from common code sys_pipe implemantation. IA64, ALPHA, SUPERH (32bit) and SPARC (32bit) have own implemantations with the same name. Just rename them. For sys_pipe2 there is no architecture specific implementation.

[IA64] Clear up section mismatch with arch_unregister_cpu()

The generic_defconfig has three section mismatches. This clears arch_unregister_cpu() Signed-off-by: Robin Holt Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

[IA64] ia64/pv_ops/pv_cpu_ops: fix _IA64_REG_IP case.

2008-11-20T21:41:20Z

pv_cpu_ops.getreg(_IA64_REG_IP) returned constant. But the returned ip valued should be the one in the caller, not of the callee. This patch fixes that. Signed-off-by: Isaku Yamahata Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

[IA64] remove duplicate include iommu.h

arch/ia64/kernel/pci-dma.c only needs to include iommu once. Signed-off-by: Huang Weiyi Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

[IA64] use mprintk instead of printk, in ia64_mca_modify_original_stack

2008-11-20T21:31:10Z

Using printk from MCA/INIT context is unsafe since it can cause deadlock. The ia64_mca_modify_original_stack is called from both of mca handler and init handler, so it should use mprintk instead of printk. Signed-off-by: Hidetoshi Seto Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

[IA64] Rationalize kernel mode alignment checking

2008-11-20T21:27:12Z

Itanium processors can handle some misaligned data accesses. They also provide a mode where all such accesses are forced to trap. The kernel was schizophrenic about use of this mode: * Base kernel code ran in permissive mode where the only traps generated were from those cases that the h/w could not handle. * Interrupt, syscall and trap code ran in strict mode where all unaligned accesses caused traps to the 0x5a00 unaligned reference vector. Use strict alignment checking throughout the kernel, but make sure that we continue to let user mode use more relaxed mode as the default. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

[IA64] Reserve elfcorehdr memory in CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP

2008-11-07T17:51:55Z

IA64 kdump kernel failed to initialize /proc/vmcore in 2.6.28-rc2. A bug was introduced in this patch commit: d9a9855d0b06ca6d6cc92596fedcc03f8512e062 always reserve elfcore header memory in crash kernel The problem was that the call to reserve_elfcorehdr() should be placed in CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP rather than in CONFIG_CRASH_KERNEL, which does not exist.

[IA64] fix boot panic caused by offline CPUs

2008-11-06T17:28:27Z

This fixes a regression introduced by 2c6e6db41f01b6b4eb98809350827c9678996698 "Minimize per_cpu reservations." That patch incorrectly used information about what CPUs are possible that was not yet initialized by ACPI. The end result was that per_cpu structures for offline CPUs were not initialized causing a NULL pointer reference. Since we cannot do the full acpi_boot_init() call any earlier, the simplest fix is to just parse the MADT for SAPIC entries early to find the CPU info. This should also allow for some cleanup of the code added by the "Minimize per_cpu reservations". This patch just fixes the regressions, the cleanup will come in a later patch.

saner FASYNC handling on file close

2008-11-01T16:49:46Z

As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync() need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget. So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set. And lose that crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we don't have to bother anymore. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
