Rework ptep_set_access_flags and fix sun4c

2007-06-16T20:16:16Z

Some changes done a while ago to avoid pounding on ptep_set_access_flags and update_mmu_cache in some race situations break sun4c which requires update_mmu_cache() to always be called on minor faults. This patch reworks ptep_set_access_flags() semantics, implementations and callers so that it's now responsible for returning whether an update is necessary or not (basically whether the PTE actually changed). This allow fixing the sparc implementation to always return 1 on sun4c.

sparc64: fix alignment bug in linker definition script

2007-05-29T19:29:00Z

The RO_DATA section were hardcoded to a specific alignment in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.h. But for sparc64 this did not match the PAGE_SIZE. Introduce a new section definition named: RO_DATA that takes actual alignment as parameter. RODATA are provided for backward compatibility. On top of this avoid hardcoding alignment for sparc64 in reset of the script Fix is build-tested on sparc64 + x86_64. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

Don't call a warnign a bug. It's a warning.

2007-05-24T17:13:43Z

Change the default printout message for WARN_ON() to say what it is, not something else. I'm tired of having people get all aflutter about a warning. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kbuild: introduce __init_refok/__initdata_refok to supress section mismatch warnings

2007-05-19T07:11:58Z

Throughout the kernel there are a few legitimite references to init or exit sections. Most of these are covered by the patterns included in modpost but a few nees special attention. To avoid hardcoding a lot of function names in modpost introduce a marker so relevant function/data can be marked. When modpost see a reference to a init/exit function from a function/data marked no warning will be issued. Idea from: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Andrew Morton

Consolidate asm/poll.h

2007-05-11T15:29:34Z

These files are almost all the same. This patch could be made even simpler if we don't mind POLLREMOVE turning up in a few architectures that didn't have it previously (which should be OK as POLLREMOVE is not used anywhere in the current tree).
