parisc: fix ldcw inline assembler

2009-07-30T21:40:07Z

commit 7d17e2763129ea307702fcdc91f6e9d114b65c2d upstream. There are two reasons to expose the memory *a in the asm: 1) To prevent the compiler from discarding a preceeding write to *a, and 2) to prevent it from caching *a in a register over the asm. The change has had a few days testing with a SMP build of 2.6.22.19 running on a rp3440. This patch is about the correctness of the __ldcw() macro itself. The use of the macro should be confined to small inline functions to try to limit the effect of clobbering memory on GCC's optimization of loads and stores.

parisc: ensure broadcast tlb purge runs single threaded

2009-07-30T21:40:07Z

commit e82a3b75127188f20c7780bec580e148beb29da7 upstream. The TLB flushing functions on hppa, which causes PxTLB broadcasts on the system bus, needs to be protected by irq-safe spinlocks to avoid irq handlers to deadlock the kernel. The deadlocks only happened during I/O intensive loads and triggered pretty seldom, which is why this bug went so long unnoticed.

Allow rwlocks to re-enable interrupts

2009-04-03T02:05:11Z

Pass the original flags to rwlock arch-code, so that it can re-enable interrupts if implemented for that architecture. Initially, make __raw_read_lock_flags and __raw_write_lock_flags stubs which just do the same thing as non-flags variants.

parisc: move dereference_function_descriptor to process.c

2009-04-02T04:16:27Z

Commit deac93df26b20cf8438339b5935b5f5643bc30c9 fixed up printing of %pF on parisc, but added the dereference_function_descriptor prototype to module.c... this isn't a particularly wise idea as module.c might not always be compiled. Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin

When we build for PA8X00, we define ARCH_HAS_KMAP, which results in the kmap_types.h include in highmem.h getting skipped...
