2006-10-02[PATCH] nsproxy: move init_nsproxy into kernel/nsproxy.cSerge E. Hallyn
Move the init_nsproxy definition out of arch/ into kernel/nsproxy.c. This avoids all arches having to be updated. Compiles and boots on s390. Signed-off-by: Serge E.

2006-10-02[PATCH] namespaces: add nsproxySerge E. Hallyn
This patch adds a nsproxy structure to the task struct. Later patches will move the fs namespace pointer into this structure, and introduce a new utsname namespace into the nsproxy. The vserver and openvz functionality, then, would be implemented in large part by virtualizing/isolating more and more resources into namespaces, each contained in the nsproxy.

2006-10-01[PATCH] kill wall_jiffiesAtsushi Nemoto
With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies. So we can kill wall_jiffies completely. This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1". This condition is never met so I suppose it is just a bug. I just remove that condition only instead of kill the whole "if" block.

2006-09-29[PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem)Atsushi Nemoto
Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change. Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky. This cleanup make a barrier added by 5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes it. As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really remove wall_jiffies. It would be another cleanup patch) Signed-off-by: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "Eric W.

2006-09-27[MIPS] get_wchan(): remove uses of mfinfo[64]Franck Bui-Huu
This array was used to 'cache' some frame info about scheduler functions to speed up get_wchan(). This array was 1Ko size and was only used when CONFIG_KALLSYMS was set but declared for all configs. Rather than make the array statement conditional, this patches removes this array and its uses. Indeed the common case doesn't seem to use this array and get_wchan() is not a critical path anyways. It results in a smaller bss and a smaller/cleaner code: text data bss dec hex filename 2543808 254148 139296 2937252 2cd1a4 vmlinux-new-get-wchan 2544080 254148 143392 2941620 2ce2b4 vmlinux~old Signed-off-by: Franck Bui-Huu <vagabon.xyz@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2006-09-27[MIPS] get_frame_info(): null function size means size is unknownFranck Bui-Huu
This patch adds 2 sanity checks. The first one test that the start address of the function to analyze has been set by the caller. If not return an error since nothing usefull can be done without. The second one checks that the function's size has been set. A null size can happen if CONFIG_KALLSYMS is not set and it means that we don't know the size of the function to analyze. In this case, we make it equal to 128 instructions by default. Signed-off-by: Franck Bui-Huu <vagabon.xyz@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

2006-09-27[MIPS] The o32 fstatat syscall behaves differently on 32 and 64 bit kernelsRichard Sandiford
While working on a glibc patch to support the fstatat() functions[1], I noticed that the o32 implementation behaves differently on 32-bit and 64-bit kernels; the former provides a stat64 while the latter provides a plain (o32) stat. I think the former is what's intended, as there is no separate fstatat64. It's also what x86 does. I think this is just a case of a compat too far.

2006-09-27[MIPS] Avoid double signal restarting.Ralf Baechle
In entry.S resume_userspace ... jal do_notify_resume form a loop through which the kernel will iterate as long as work is pending. If we iterate through this loop more than once with no signal pending for at least one but the last iteration we will take do the syscall restarting multiple times resulting in a syscall return prior to the the syscall instruction in userspace.
