[ARM] always allow dump_stack() to produce a backtrace

2007-07-05T18:59:51Z

Don't make this dependent on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL - if we hit a WARN_ON we need the stack trace to work out how we got to that point. Signed-off-by: Russell King

Introduce fixed sys_sync_file_range2() syscall, implement on PowerPC and ARM

2007-06-28T18:38:30Z

Not all the world is an i386. Many architectures need 64-bit arguments to be aligned in suitable pairs of registers, and the original sys_sync_file_range(int, loff_t, loff_t, int) was therefore wasting an argument register for padding after the first integer. Since we don't normally have more than 6 arguments for system calls, that left no room for the final argument on some architectures. Fix this by introducing sys_sync_file_range2(int, int, loff_t, loff_t) which all fits nicely. In fact, ARM already had that, but called it sys_arm_sync_file_range. Move it to fs/sync.c and rename it, then implement the needed compatibility routine. And stop the missing syscall check from bitching about the absence of sys_sync_file_range() if we've implemented sys_sync_file_range2() instead. Tested on PPC32 and with 32-bit and 64-bit userspace on PPC64.

[ARM] Update show_regs/oops register format

2007-06-18T14:04:42Z

Add the kernel release and version information to the output of show_regs/oops. Add the CPU PSR register. Avoid using printk to output partial lines; always output a complete line. Re-combine the "Control" and "Table + DAC" lines after nommu separated them; we don't want to waste vertical screen space needlessly. Signed-off-by: Russell King

[ARM] Add support for pause_on_oops and display preempt/smp options

2007-06-17T12:40:39Z

Add calls to oops_enter() and oops_exit() to __die(), so that things like lockdep know when an oops occurs. Add suffixes to the oops report to indicate whether the running kernel has been built with preempt or smp support. Signed-off-by: Russell King

[ARM] Fix stacktrace FP range checking

2007-05-30T12:15:12Z

Fix an oops in the stacktrace code, caused by improper range checking. We subtract 12 off 'fp' before testing to see if it's below the low bound. However, if 'fp' were zero before, it becomes a very large positive number, causing this test to succeed where it should fail. Signed-off-by: Russell King

[ARM] use __used attribute

2007-05-30T12:15:06Z

Use the newly introduced __used attribute in place of the deprecated __attribute_used__. Functionally the same. Signed-off-by: David Rientjes Signed-off-by: Russell King
