Tim Abbott 5f547f51a2 powerpc: remove unused __page_aligned definition.
There is already an architecture-independent __page_aligned_data macro
for this purpose, so removing the powerpc-specific macro should be
harmless.

Guennadi Liakhovetski f81b1be40c tags: include headers before source files
Currently looking up a structure definition in TAGS / tags takes one to
one of multiple "static struct X" definitions in arch sources, which makes
it for many structs practically impossible to get to the required header.
This patch changes the order of sources being tagged to first scan
architecture includes, then the top-level include/ directory, and only
then the rest. It also takes into account, that many architectures have
more than one include directory, i.e., not only arch/$ARCH/include, but
also arch/$ARCH/mach-X/include etc.

Andi Kleen d0679c7303 kbuild: move -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm to powerpc only
Better dwarf2 unwind information is a good thing, it allows better
debugging with kgdb and crash and helps systemtap.

Commit 003086497f ("Build with
-fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm") disabled some CFI information globally to work
around a module loader bug on powerpc.

But this disables the better unwind tables for all architectures, not just
powerpc.  Move the workaround to powerpc and also add a suitable comment
that's it really a workaround.

This improves dwarf2 unwind tables on x86 at least.

Hui Zhu 52e13e219d markup_oops.pl: add options to improve cross-sompilation environments
The markup_oops.pl have 3 troubles to support cross-compiler environment:
1.  It use objdump directly.
2.  It use modinfo to get the message of module.
3.  It use hex function that cannot support 64-bit number in 32-bit arch.

This patch add 3 options to markup_oops.pl:
1. -c CROSS_COMPILE	Specify the prefix used for toolchain.
2. -m MODULE_DIRNAME	Specify the module directory name.
3. Change hex function to Math::BigInt->from_hex.

After this patch, parse the x8664 oops in x86, we can:
cat amd64m | perl ~/kernel/tmp/m.pl -c /home/teawater/kernel/bin/x8664- -m ./e.ko vmlinux

It just set $center in next loop. So it cannot get the $center.

And even if $center is set to the right value 0.
if ($center == 0) {
	print "No matching code found \n";
	exit;
}
The first line $center will be 0, so I change the default value to -1.

Don Zickus 94a4708352 scripts: change scripts to use system python instead of env
Just a small change to a couple of scripts to go from

 #!/usr/bin/env python

to

 #!/usr/bin/python

This shouldn't effect anyone, unless they don't install python there.

In preparation for python3, Fedora is doing a big push to change the scripts
to use the system python.  This allows developers to put the python3 in
their path without fear of breaking existing scripts.

Now I am pretty sure anyone using python3 for testing purposes will probably
not run any of the scripts I changed, but Fedora has this automated tool
that checks for this stuff so I thought I would try to push it upstream.

Himanshu Chauhan 71d41aed94 scripts/kallsyms: suppress build warning
Suppress a warn_unused_result warning.

fgets is called as a part of error handling.  It is called just to drop a
line and return immediately.  read_map is reading the file in a loop and
read_symbol reads line by line.  So I think there is no point in using
return value for useful checking.  Other checks like 3 items were returned
or !EOF have already been done.

Andi Kleen e66f25d7d1 Improve kconfig symbol hashing
While looking for something else I noticed that the symbol
hash function used by kconfig is quite poor. It doesn't
use any of the standard hash techniques but simply
adds up the string and then uses power of two masking,
which is both known to perform poorly.

The current x86 kconfig has over 7000 symbols.

When I instrumented it showed that the minimum hash chain
length was 16 and a significant number of them was over
30.

It didn't help that the hash table size was only 256 buckets.

This patch increases the hash table size to a larger prime
and switches to a FNV32 hash. I played around with a couple of hash
functions, but that one seemed to perform best with reasonable
hash table sizes.

Increasing the hash table size even further didn't
seem like a good idea, because there are a couple of global
walks which walk the complete hash table.

I also moved the unnamed bucket to 0. It's still the longest
of all the buckets (44 entries), but hopefully it's not
often hit except for the global walk which doesn't care.

The result is a much nicer distribution:
(first column bucket length, second number of buckets with that length)

1: 3505
2: 1236
3: 294
4: 52
5: 3
47: 1		<--- this is the unnamed symbols bucket

There are still some 5+ buckets, but increasing the hash table
even more would be likely not worth it.

This also cleans up the code slightly by removing hard coded
magic numbers.

I didn't notice a big performance difference either way
on my Nehalem system, but I presume it'll help somewhat
on slower systems.

David Rientjes 85a256d8e0 kbuild: improve version string logic
The LOCALVERSION= string passed to "make" will now always be appended to
the kernel version after CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, if it exists, regardless of
whether CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is set or not.  This allows users to
uniquely identify their kernel builds with a string.

If CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is enabled, the unique SCM tag reported by
setlocalversion (or .scmversion) is appended to the kernel version, if it
exists.  When CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is not enabled, a `+' is appended
to the kernel version to represent that the kernel has been revised since
the last release unless "make LOCALVERSION=" was used to uniquely identify
the build.

The end result is this:

 - when LOCALVERSION= is passed to "make", it is appended to the kernel
   version,

 - when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is enabled, a unique SCM identifier is
   appended if the respository has been revised beyond a tagged commit,
   and

 - when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is disabled, a `+' is appended if the
   repository has been revised beyond a tagged commit and LOCALVERSION=
   was not passed to "make".

Examples:

With CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO: "make" results in
v2.6.32-rc4-00149-ga3ccf63.  If there are uncommited changes to the
respository, it results in v2.6.32-rc4-00149-ga3ccf63-dirty.  If
"make LOCALVERSION=kbuild" were used, it results in
v2.6.32-rc4-kbuild-00149-ga3ccf63-dirty.

Without CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO, "make" results in v2.6.32-rc4+
unless the repository is at the Linux v2.6.32-rc4 commit (in which
case the version would be v2.6.32-rc4).  If "make LOCALVERSION=kbuild"
were used, it results in v2.6.32-rc4-kbuild.

Also renames variables such as localver-auto and _localver-auto to more
accurately describe what they represent: localver-extra and
scm-identifier, respectively.

Help text for certain config options is very extensive (the text
includes the names of all  other options the option in question depends
on). Long lines are not wrapped, making it impossible to see the list
without scrolling horizontally.

This patch adds some logic which wraps help screen lines at word
boundaries to prevent truncating.

Tested by running

  ARCH=powerpc make menuconfig O=/tmp/build

which shows that the long lines are now wrapped, and

 ARCH=powerpc make xconfig O=/tmp/build

to demonstrate that it still compiles and operates as expected.

Rabin Vincent 5358db0b0e scripts: add ARM support to decodecode

The following things are handled:

 - ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE environment variables are respected.

 - The Code: in x86 oopses is in bytes, while it is in either words (4
   bytes) or halfwords for ARM.

 - Some versions of ARM objdump refuse to disassemble instructions
   generated by literal constants (".word 0x...").  The workaround is to
   strip the object file first.

 - The faulting instruction is marked (liked so) in ARM, but <like so>
   in x86.

 - ARM mnemonics may include characters such as [] which need to be
   escaped before being passed to sed for the "<- trapping instruction"
   substitution.

Roland McGrath 8433646601 kconfig CROSS_COMPILE option
This adds CROSS_COMPILE as a kconfig string so you can store it in
.config.  Then you can use plain "make" in the configured kernel build
directory to do the right cross compilation without setting the
command-line or environment variable every time.

With this, you can set up different build directories for different kernel
configurations, whether native or cross-builds, and then use the simple:

	make -C /build/dir M=module-source-dir

idiom to build modules for any given target kernel, indicating which one
by nothing but the build directory chosen.

I tried a version that defaults the string with env="CROSS_COMPILE" so
that in a "make oldconfig" with CROSS_COMPILE in the environment you can
just hit return to store the way you're building it.  But the kconfig
prompt for strings doesn't give you any way to say you want an empty
string instead of the default, so I punted that.

Uwe Kleine-König b75dcabd6c modpost: members of *driver structs should not point to __init functions
Either the functions referred to in a driver struct should live in
.devinit or the driver should be registered using platform_driver_probe
(or equivalent for different driver types) with ->probe being NULL.

Hugh Dickins a7016235a6 mm: fix migratetype bug which slowed swapping
After memory pressure has forced it to dip into the reserves, 2.6.32's
5f8dcc2121 "page-allocator: split per-cpu
list into one-list-per-migrate-type" has been returning MIGRATE_RESERVE
pages to the MIGRATE_MOVABLE free_list: in some sense depleting reserves.

Fix that in the most straightforward way (which, considering the overheads
of alternative approaches, is Mel's preference): the right migratetype is
already in page_private(page), but free_pcppages_bulk() wasn't using it.

How did this bug show up?  As a 20% slowdown in my tmpfs loop kbuild
swapping tests, on PowerMac G5 with SLUB allocator.  Bisecting to that
commit was easy, but explaining the magnitude of the slowdown not easy.

The same effect appears, but much less markedly, with SLAB, and even
less markedly on other machines (the PowerMac divides into fewer zones
than x86, I think that may be a factor).  We guess that lumpy reclaim
of short-lived high-order pages is implicated in some way, and probably
this bug has been tickling a poor decision somewhere in page reclaim.

But instrumentation hasn't told me much, I've run out of time and
imagination to determine exactly what's going on, and shouldn't hold up
the fix any longer: it's valid, and might even fix other misbehaviours.

H. Peter Anvin 05d43ed8a8 x86: get rid of the insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit
Now that the previous commit made it possible to do the personality
setting at the point of no return, we do just that for ELF binaries.
And suddenly all the reasons for that insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit go
away, and we can just make SET_PERSONALITY() just do the obvious thing
for a 32-bit compat process.

Everything becomes much more straightforward this way.

Linus Torvalds 221af7f87b Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions
'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and
it is pretty badly misnamed.  It doesn't just flush the old executable
environment, it also starts up the new one.

Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new
personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting
of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new
personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails.

As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this
insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit
(TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the
personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do
the actual personality magic.

This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the
'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail
(still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set
up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()).  All callers are changed
to trivially comply with the new world order.
