Detach sched.h from mm.h

2007-05-21T16:18:19+00:00

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
   getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
   they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
   on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
   after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Cross-compile tested on

	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
	alpha alpha-up
	arm
	i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig
	ia64 ia64-up
	m68k
	mips
	parisc parisc-up
	powerpc powerpc-up
	s390 s390-up
	sparc sparc-up
	sparc64 sparc64-up
	um-x86_64
	x86_64 x86_64-up x86_64-defconfig x86_64-allnoconfig

as well as my two usual configs.

all-archs: consolidate .data section definition in asm-generic

2007-05-19T07:11:57+00:00

With this consolidation we can now modify the .data
section definition in one spot for all archs.

rename thread_info to stack

2007-05-09T19:30:56+00:00

This finally renames the thread_info field in task structure to stack, so that
the assumptions about this field are gone and archs have more freedom about
placing the thread_info structure.

Nonbroken archs which have a proper thread pointer can do the access to both
current thread and task structure via a single pointer.

It'll allow for a few more cleanups of the fork code, from which e.g.  ia64
could benefit.

Simplify kallsyms_lookup()

2007-05-08T18:15:08+00:00

Several kallsyms_lookup() pass dummy arguments but only need, say, module's
name.  Make kallsyms_lookup() accept NULLs where possible.

Also, makes picture clearer about what interfaces are needed for all symbol
resolving business.

header cleaning: don't include smp_lock.h when not used

2007-05-08T18:15:07+00:00

Remove includes of  where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.

Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,
sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).

get_unmapped_area handles MAP_FIXED on parisc

2007-05-07T19:12:56+00:00

Handle MAP_FIXED in parisc arch_get_unmapped_area(), just return the address.
We might want to also check for possible cache aliasing issues now that we get
called in that case (like ARM or MIPS), leave a comment for the maintainers to
pick up.

[PATCH] x86: Allow percpu variables to be page-aligned

2007-05-02T17:27:12+00:00

Let's allow page-alignment in general for per-cpu data (wanted by Xen, and
Ingo suggested KVM as well).

Because larger alignments can use more room, we increase the max per-cpu
memory to 64k rather than 32k: it's getting a little tight.
