[S390] Fix sysdev class file creation.

2008-10-28T10:12:03Z

Use sysdev_class_create_file() to create create sysdev class attributes instead of sysfs_create_file(). Using sysfs_create_file() wasn't a very good idea since the show and store functions have a different amount of parameters for sysfs files and sysdev class files. In particular the pointer to the buffer is the last argument and therefore accesses to random memory regions happened. Still worked surprisingly well until we got a kernel panic.

kernel/cpu.c: create a CPU_STARTING cpu_chain notifier

2008-09-08T17:25:24Z

Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs. Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map. The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers. Tested on x86-64. All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got it right.

[S390] Remove unneeded spinlock initialization.

sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function

2008-07-22T04:55:02Z

This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things. I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86 machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups. I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections. Runtime tested: x86-32, x86-64 Compiled only: ia64, powerpc Not compile tested/only grep converted: sh, arm, avr32 Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

on_each_cpu(): kill unused 'retry' parameter

2008-06-26T09:24:38Z

It's not even passed on to smp_call_function() anymore, since that was removed. So kill it. Acked-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Reviewed-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

smp_call_function: get rid of the unused nonatomic/retry argument

2008-06-26T09:24:35Z

It's never used and the comments refer to nonatomic and retry interchangably. So get rid of it. Acked-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

[S390] Fix build failure in __cpu_up()

2008-06-10T08:03:28Z

The first argument to __ctl_store() should be the array to store stuff in, not just the first element of that array. With the current code in __cpu_up(), mainline GCC dies with an internal compiler error. I didn't diagnose that further, but just fixed the kernel bug.

[S390] Fix section mismatch warnings.

2008-05-30T08:03:34Z

This fixes the last remaining section mismatch warnings in s390 architecture code. It reveals also a real bug introduced by... me with git commit 2069e978d5a6e7b45d58027e3de7f879b8c5e488 ("[S390] sparsemem vmemmap: initialize memmap.") Calling the generic vmemmap_alloc_block() function to get initialized memory is a nice idea, however that function is __meminit annotated and therefore the function might be gone if we try to call it later. This can happen if a DCSS segment gets added. So basically revert the patch and clear the memmap explicitly to fix the original bug. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] smp: __smp_call_function_map vs cpu_online_map fix.

2008-05-15T14:52:40Z

Both smp_call_function() and __smp_call_function_map() access cpu_online_map. Both functions run with preemption disabled which protects for cpus going offline. However new cpus can be added and therefore the cpu_online_map can change unexpectedly. So use the call_lock to protect against changes to the cpu_online_map in start_secondary() and all smp_call_* functions. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
