um: ubd: Fix for processes stuck in D state forever

2014-11-14T18:10:24Z

commit 2a2361228c5e6d8c1733f00653481de918598e50 upstream. Starting with Linux 3.12 processes get stuck in D state forever in UserModeLinux under sync heavy workloads. This bug was introduced by commit 805f11a0d5 (um: ubd: Add REQ_FLUSH suppport). Fix bug by adding a check if FLUSH request was successfully submitted to the I/O thread and keeping the FLUSH request on the request queue on submission failures.

irq_work: Introduce arch_irq_work_has_interrupt()

2014-10-15T10:29:23Z

commit c5c38ef3d70377dc504a6a3f611a3ec814bc757b upstream. The nohz full code needs irq work to trigger its own interrupt so that the subsystem can work even when the tick is stopped. Lets introduce arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() that archs can override to tell about their support for this ability. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Paul E.

Merge branch 'signal-cleanup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rw/misc

2014-08-09T16:58:12Z

Pull arch signal handling cleanup from Richard Weinberger: "This patch series moves all remaining archs to the get_signal(), signal_setup_done() and sigsp() functions. Currently these archs use open coded variants of the said functions. Further, unused parameters get removed from get_signal_to_deliver(), tracehook_signal_handler() and signal_delivered(). At the end of the day we save around 500 lines of code." * 'signal-cleanup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rw/misc: (43 commits) powerpc: Use sigsp() openrisc: Use sigsp() mn10300: Use sigsp() mips: Use sigsp() microblaze: Use sigsp() metag: Use sigsp() m68k: Use sigsp() m32r: Use sigsp() hexagon: Use sigsp() frv: Use sigsp() cris: Use sigsp() c6x: Use sigsp() blackfin: Use sigsp() avr32: Use sigsp() arm64: Use sigsp() arc: Use sigsp() sas_ss_flags: Remove nested ternary if Rip out get_signal_to_deliver() Clean up signal_delivered() tracehook_signal_handler: Remove sig, info, ka and regs ...

arm64,ia64,ppc,s390,sh,tile,um,x86,mm: remove default gate area

2014-08-08T22:57:27Z

The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if !defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR). This default is only useful for ia64. arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it. arm, 32-bit UML, and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations. This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64. This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.

lib/scatterlist: make ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN an actual Kconfig

2014-08-08T22:57:26Z

Rather than have architectures #define ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN in an architecture specific scatterlist.h, make it a proper Kconfig option and use that instead. At same time, remove the header files are are now mostly useless and just include asm-generic/scatterlist.h.
