alpha: Add missing RCU idle APIs on idle loop

2012-10-12T20:38:54Z

commit 4c94cada48f7c660eca582be6032427a5e367117 upstream. In the old times, the whole idle task was considered as an RCU quiescent state. But as RCU became more and more successful overtime, some RCU read side critical section have been added even in the code of some architectures idle tasks, for tracing for example. So nowadays, rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() must be called by the architecture to tell RCU about the part in the idle loop that doesn't make use of rcu read side critical sections, typically the part that puts the CPU in low power mode. This is necessary for RCU to find the quiescent states in idle in order to complete grace periods. Add this missing pair of calls in the Alpha's idle loop. Reported-by: Paul E.

Redefine ATOMIC_INIT and ATOMIC64_INIT to drop the casts

2012-10-02T17:29:55Z

commit 67a806d9499353fabd5b5ff07337f3aa88a1c3ba upstream. The following build error occurred during an alpha build: net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant Dave Anglin says: > Here is the line in sock.i: > > struct static_key memalloc_socks = ((struct static_key) { .enabled = > ((atomic_t) { (0) }) }); The above line contains two compound literals. It also uses a designated initializer to initialize the field enabled. A compound literal is not a constant expression. The location of the above statement isn't fully clear, but if a compound literal occurs outside the body of a function, the initializer list must consist of constant expressions.

alpha: Don't export SOCK_NONBLOCK to user space.

2012-09-14T17:00:06Z

commit a2fa3ccd7b43665fe14cb562761a6c3d26a1d13f upstream. Currently we export SOCK_NONBLOCK to user space but that conflicts with the definition from glibc leading to compilation errors in user programs (e.g. see Debian bug #658460). The generic socket.h restricts the definition of SOCK_NONBLOCK to the kernel, as does the MIPS specific socket.h, so let's do the same on Alpha.

alpha: fix fpu.h usage in userspace

2012-09-14T17:00:06Z

commit 0be421862b857e61964435ffcaa7499cf77a5e5a upstream. After commit ec2212088c42 ("Disintegrate asm/system.h for Alpha"), the fpu.h header which we install for userland started depending on special_insns.h which is not installed. However, fpu.h only uses that for __KERNEL__ code, so protect the inclusion the same way to avoid build breakage in glibc: /usr/include/asm/fpu.h:4:31: fatal error: asm/special_insns.h: No such file or directory Reported-by: Matt Turner Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger Signed-off-by: Michael Cree Acked-by: Matt Turner Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

alpha: properly define get/set_rtc_time on Marvel/SMP

The marvel_get_rtc_time and marvel_set_rtc_time are static, but they're available through Marvel's machine vector. Reported-by: Raúl Porcel Signed-off-by: Matt Turner

alpha: VGA_HOSE depends on VGA_CONSOLE

arch/alpha/kernel/console.c:locate_and_init_vga uses vga_con, causing build failures if VGA_CONSOLE was not set and MARVEL, TITAN, DP264, or GENERIC alpha system types were set. Reported-by: Raúl Porcel Signed-off-by: Matt Turner

alpha: fix build failures from system.h dismemberment

2012-04-13T17:15:16Z

commit ec2212088c42ff7d1362629ec26dda4f3e8bdad3 "Disintegrate asm/system.h for Alpha" combined with commit b4816afa3986704d1404fc48e931da5135820472 "Move the asm-generic/system.h xchg() implementation to asm-generic/cmpxchg.h" introduced the concept of asm/cmpxchg.h but the alpha arch never got one. Fork the cmpxchg content out of the asm/atomic.h file to create one. Some minor whitespace fixups were done on the block of code that created the new file.

Merge branch 'akpm' (Andrew's patch-bomb)

2012-04-05T22:30:34Z

Merge batch of fixes from Andrew Morton: "The simple_open() cleanup was held back while I wanted for laggards to merge things. I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches. I've been wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall prospects for success of the project. But after speaking with Pavel at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped complaining" stage regarding the net changes. So I need to go back and re-review those patchs and their (lengthy) discussion." * emailed from Andrew Morton : (16 patches) memcg swap: use mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap fix backlight: add driver for DA9052/53 PMIC v1 C6X: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() MAINTAINERS: add entry for sparse checker MAINTAINERS: fix REMOTEPROC F: typo alpha: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open() scripts/coccinelle/api/simple_open.cocci: semantic patch for simple_open() libfs: add simple_open() hugetlbfs: remove unregister_filesystem() when initializing module drivers/rtc/rtc-88pm860x.c: fix rtc irq enable callback fs/xattr.c:setxattr(): improve handling of allocation failures fs/xattr.c:listxattr(): fall back to vmalloc() if kmalloc() failed fs/xattr.c: suppress page allocation failure warnings from sys_listxattr() sysrq: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead of force_sig() proc: fix mount -t proc -o AAA
