dma-mapping: always provide the dma_map_ops based implementation

2016-01-21T01:09:18+00:00

Move the generic implementation to now that all architectures support it and remove the HAVE_DMA_ATTR Kconfig symbol now that everyone supports them.

sparc: use generic dma_set_mask

2016-01-21T01:09:18+00:00

Sparc already uses the same code as the generic code for the PCI implementation but just fails the call sbus. This moves to the generic implemenation which eventually return -EIO due to the NULL dma_mask pointer in the device. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Cc: "David S.

Kconfig: remove HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT

2016-01-16T19:17:23+00:00

As illustrated by commit a3afe70b83fd ("[S390] latencytop s390 support."), HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT is defined by an architecture to advertise an implementation of save_stack_trace_tsk. However, as of 9212ddb5eada ("stacktrace: provide save_stack_trace_tsk() weak alias") a dummy implementation is provided if STACKTRACE=y. Given that LATENCYTOP already depends on STACKTRACE_SUPPORT and selects STACKTRACE, we can remove HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT altogether.

mm: drop tail page refcounting

2016-01-16T01:56:32+00:00

Tail page refcounting is utterly complicated and painful to support. It uses ->_mapcount on tail pages to store how many times this page is pinned. get_page() bumps ->_mapcount on tail page in addition to ->_count on head. This information is required by split_huge_page() to be able to distribute pins from head of compound page to tails during the split. We will need ->_mapcount to account PTE mappings of subpages of the compound page. We eliminate need in current meaning of ->_mapcount in tail pages by forbidding split entirely if the page is pinned. The only user of tail page refcounting is THP which is marked BROKEN for now. Let's drop all this mess. It makes get_page() and put_page() much simpler. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

sparc64: Fix numa node distance initialization

2016-01-14T21:58:59+00:00

Orabug: 22495713 Currently, NUMA node distance matrix is initialized only when a machine descriptor (MD) exists. However, sun4u machines (e.g. Sun Blade 2500) do not have an MD and thus distance values were left uninitialized. The initialization is now moved such that it happens on both sun4u and sun4v.

sparc64: fix incorrect sign extension in sys_sparc64_personality

2016-01-14T18:06:09+00:00

The value returned by sys_personality has type "long int". It is saved to a variable of type "int", which is not a problem yet because the type of task_struct->pesonality is "unsigned int". The problem is the sign extension from "int" to "long int" that happens on return from sys_sparc64_personality. For example, a userspace call personality((unsigned) -EINVAL) will result to any subsequent personality call, including absolutely harmless read-only personality(0xffffffff) call, failing with errno set to EINVAL.
