[PATCH] xtensa: remove io_remap_page_range and minor clean-ups

2005-09-23T05:17:37Z

Remove io_remap_page_range() from all of Linux 2.6.x (as requested and suggested by Randy Dunlap) and minor clean-ups. Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[LIB]: Consolidate _atomic_dec_and_lock()

2005-09-15T04:47:01Z

Several implementations were essentialy a common piece of C code using the cmpxchg() macro. Put the implementation in one spot that everyone can share, and convert sparc64 over to using this. Alpha is the lone arch-specific implementation, which codes up a special fast path for the common case in order to avoid GP reloading which a pure C version would require. Signed-off-by: David S.

kbuild: rename prepare to archprepare to fix dependency chain

2005-09-11T20:30:22Z

When introducing the generic asm-offsets.h support the dependency chain for the prepare targets was changed. All build scripts expecting include/asm/asm-offsets.h to be made when using the prepare target would broke. With the limited number of prepare targets left in arch Makefiles the trivial solution was to introduce a new arch specific target: archprepare The dependency chain looks like this now: prepare | +--> prepare0 | +--> archprepare | +--> scripts_basic +--> prepare1 | +---> prepare2 | +--> prepare3 So prepare 3 is processed before prepare2 etc. This guaantees that the asm symlink, version.h, scripts_basic are all updated before archprepare is processed. prepare0 which build the asm-offsets.h file will need the actions performed by archprepare. The head target is now named prepare, because users scripts will most likely use that target, but prepare-all has been kept for compatibility. Updated Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt.

[PATCH] NTP: ntp-helper functions

2005-09-07T23:57:34Z

This patch cleans up a commonly repeated set of changes to the NTP state variables by adding two helper inline functions: ntp_clear(): Clears the ntp state variables ntp_synced(): Returns 1 if the system is synced with a time server. This was compile tested for alpha, arm, i386, x86-64, ppc64, s390, sparc, sparc64. Signed-off-by: John Stultz Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes.

2005-08-29T17:03:11Z

It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes, confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled. The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows: 1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked. 2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_ NetBSD 2.0 *). The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux: 1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this). 2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being handled is not blocked. The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to the way most Unix boxes work. Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU 3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX. * NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that behaves differently here with #2.

[PATCH] xtensa: use ssleep() instead of schedule_timeout()

2005-07-12T23:01:01Z

Replace schedule_timeout() with ssleep() to guarantee the task delays as expected. Signed-off-by: Nishanth Aravamudan Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] xtensa: remove old syscalls

2005-07-12T23:01:01Z

This patch fixes some minor bugs introduced by the previous patch (remove old syscalls). Both patches remove the obsolete syscalls. The changes in this patch were suggested by Arnd Bergmann. The vmlinux.lds.S changes are required for the latest gcc/binutils. Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[NET]: add a top-level Networking menu to *config

2005-07-12T04:03:49Z

Create a new top-level menu named "Networking" thus moving net related options and protocol selection way from the drivers menu and up on the top-level where they belong. To implement this all architectures has to source "net/Kconfig" before drivers/*/Kconfig in their Kconfig file. This change has been implemented for all architectures. Device drivers for ordinary NIC's are still to be found in the Device Drivers section, but Bluetooth, IrDA and ax25 are located with their corresponding menu entries under the new networking menu item.

[PATCH] remove asm-xtensa/ipc.h

2005-07-10T19:23:24Z

Now that sys_ipc has been removed from xtensa, asm/ipc.h is no longer needed for that architecture. Not tested, but obviously correct. This file is included only from arch code and this patch also removes the only inclusion. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
