ns: Wire up the setns system call

2011-05-28T17:48:39Z

32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working. The rest I have looked at closely and I can't find any problems. setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I don't expect any weird architecture porting problems. While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300 the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was new in the 2.6.39. v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6 v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall conflicts. v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree. > arch/blackfin/include/asm/unistd.h | 3 ++- > arch/blackfin/mach-common/entry.S | 1 + Acked-by: Mike Frysinger Oh - ia64 wiring looks good.

avr32: add ATAG_BOARDINFO

2011-04-13T13:46:59Z

The ATAG_BOARDINFO is intended to hand over the information bd->bi_board_number from u-boot to the kernel. This piece of information can be used to implement some kind of board identification while booting the kernel. Therefore it is placed in .initdata section and can be accessed via the new symbol board_number only while initializing the kernel.

avr32: init cannot ignore signals sent by force_sig_info()

2011-04-13T13:46:55Z

We can delete the code that checks to see if we're sending an ignored signal to init because force_sig_info() already handles this case. force_sig_info() will kill init even if the signal handler is SIG_DFL and the scenario described in the comment where init might "generate the same exception over and over again" cannot occur (force_sig_info() clears SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE to ensure that init will die). Also, the use of is_global_init() is not correct in the multhreaded case, as Oleg Nesterov explains, "is_global_init() is not right in theory, /sbin/init can be multithreaded. And, this doesn't cover the sub-namespace inits... I'd suggest to check SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE, but looking closer I think you can simply remove this code." It seems this code was copied from arch/powerpc in March 2007 in commit 623b0355d5b1 "[AVR32] Clean up exception handling code" but the code was deleted from arch/powerpc in November 2009 in commit a0592d42fe3e "powerpc: kill the obsolete code under is_global_init()" So catch up with powerpc and delete the bogus code.

avr32: Convert to clocksource_register_hz

This converts the avr32 clocksource to use clocksource_register_hz. This is untested, so any assistance in testing would be appreciated! CC: Hans-Christian Egtvedt CC: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: John Stultz

avr32: make architecture sys_clone prototype match asm-generic prototype

2011-01-13T19:41:06Z

This patch will fix the arguments to the architecture sys_clone() function to match the asm-generic/syscalls.h prototype. In the same go remove the architecture specific prototype for the same function. The sys_clone() function is only called from assembly, hence the argument types were not having any affect.
