export __get_user_pages_fast() function

2011-12-21T21:04:54Z

commit 45888a0c6edc305495b6bd72a30e66bc40b324c6 upstream. Backport for stable kernel v2.6.32.y to v2.6.36.y. Needed for next patch: oprofile, x86: Fix nmi-unsafe callgraph support This function is used by KVM to pin process's page in the atomic context. Define the 'weak' function to avoid other architecture not support it Acked-by: Nick Piggin Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti Signed-off-by: Robert Richter Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Merge branches 'slab/documentation', 'slab/fixes', 'slob/cleanups' and 'slub/fixes' into for-linus

mm: clean up get_user_pages_fast() documentation

2009-06-17T02:47:30Z

Move more documentation for get_user_pages_fast into the new kerneldoc comment. Add some comments for get_user_pages as well. Also, move get_user_pages_fast declaration up to get_user_pages. It wasn't there initially because it was once a static inline function.

slab: document kzfree() zeroing behavior

2009-06-01T06:22:46Z

As suggested by Alan Cox, document the fact that kzfree() can zero out a great deal more memory than the what the user requested from kmalloc(). Cc: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg

Merge branch 'linus' into tracing/core

2009-05-07T09:17:34Z

Merge reason: tracing/core was on a .30-rc1 base and was missing out on on a handful of tracing fixes present in .30-rc5-almost. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

tracing/events: move trace point headers into include/trace/events

2009-04-15T02:05:43Z

Impact: clean up Create a sub directory in include/trace called events to keep the trace point headers in their own separate directory. Only headers that declare trace points should be defined in this directory.

tracing: create automated trace defines

2009-04-14T16:57:28Z

This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point. This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name). Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/.h file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including of that file. #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS #include This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code necessary to implement the trace point. Note, if more than one trace/.h is used to create the C code it is best to list them all together. #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS #include #include #include Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers and Christoph Hellwig for coming up with the cleaner solution of the define above the includes over my first design to have the C code include a "special" header. This patch converts sched, irq and lockdep and skb to use this new method.

mm: document get_user_pages_fast()

2009-04-13T22:04:32Z

While better than get_user_pages(), the usage of gupf(), especially the return values and the fact that it can potentially only partially pin the range, warranted some documentation.

kmemtrace: use tracepoints

kmemtrace now uses tracepoints instead of markers. We no longer need to use format specifiers to pass arguments.
