Fix Alpha O_CLOEXEC definition

2007-08-09T15:39:22Z

The default definition in asm-generic conflicts with Alpha's O_DIRECT, so, like several other arches, it needs to be redefined. Signed-off-by: Richard Hendersion Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

remove unused TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag

2007-07-31T22:39:38Z

Remove unused TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag for all processor architectures. The flag was not used excecpt on IA-64 where the patch replaces it with TIF_PERFMON_WORK. Signed-off-by: stephane eranian Cc: Cc: "Luck, Tony" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

take declarations of enable_irq() et.al. to linux/interrupt.h

2007-07-22T18:44:00Z

Now that the last inlined instances are gone, all that is left to do is turning disable_irq_nosync on arm26 and m68k from defines to aliases and we are all set - we can make these externs in linux/interrupt.h uncoditional and kill remaining instances in asm/irq.h Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] sched: sched_cacheflush is now unused

2007-07-19T19:28:35Z

Since Ingo's recent scheduler rewrite which was merged as commit 0437e109e1841607f2988891eaa36c531c6aa6ac sched_cacheflush is unused. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

arch: personality independent stack top

2007-07-19T17:04:45Z

New arch macro STACK_TOP_MAX it gives the larges valid stack address for the architecture in question. It differs from STACK_TOP in that it will not distinguish between personalities but will always return the largest possible address. This is used to create the initial stack on execve, which we will move down to the proper location once the binfmt code has figured out where that is.

alpha termios.h hadn't been updated

2007-07-17T18:01:07Z

... fortunately, termios and ktermios there are identical, so no run-time breakage happened. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

fbdev: detect primary display device

2007-07-17T17:23:11Z

Add function helper, fb_is_primary_device(). Given struct fb_info, it will return a nonzero value if the device is the primary display. Currently, only the i386 is supported where the function checks for the IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW flag.

Add __GFP_MOVABLE for callers to flag allocations from high memory that may be migrated

2007-07-17T17:22:59Z

It is often known at allocation time whether a page may be migrated or not. This patch adds a flag called __GFP_MOVABLE and a new mask called GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE. Allocations using the __GFP_MOVABLE can be either migrated using the page migration mechanism or reclaimed by syncing with backing storage and discarding. An API function very similar to alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is added for __GFP_MOVABLE allocations called alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable(). The flags used by alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() are not changed because it would change the semantics of an existing API. After this patch is applied there are no in-kernel users of alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() so it probably should be marked deprecated if this patch is merged. Note that this patch includes a minor cleanup to the use of __GFP_ZERO in shmem.c to keep all flag modifications to inode->mapping in the shmem_dir_alloc() helper function. This clean-up suggestion is courtesy of Hugh Dickens. Additional credit goes to Christoph Lameter and Linus Torvalds for shaping the concept. Credit to Hugh Dickens for catching issues with shmem swap vector and ramfs allocations.
