idr: idr_alloc() shouldn't trigger lowmem warning when preloaded

2013-03-13T22:21:49Z

GFP_NOIO is often used for idr_alloc() inside preloaded section as the allocation mask doesn't really matter. If the idr tree needs to be expanded, idr_alloc() first tries to allocate using the specified allocation mask and if it fails falls back to the preloaded buffer. This order prevent non-preloading idr_alloc() users from taking advantage of preloading ones by using preload buffer without filling it shifting the burden of allocation to the preload users. Unfortunately, this allowed/expected-to-fail kmem_cache allocation ends up generating spurious slab lowmem warning before succeeding the request from the preload buffer. This patch makes idr_layer_alloc() add __GFP_NOWARN to the first kmem_cache attempt and try kmem_cache again w/o __GFP_NOWARN after allocation from preload_buffer fails so that lowmem warning is generated if not suppressed by the original @gfp_mask.

decompressors: fix typo "POWERPC"

2013-03-13T22:21:48Z

Commit 5dc49c75a26b ("decompressors: make the default XZ_DEC_* config match the selected architecture") added default y if POWERPC to lib/xz/Kconfig. But there is no Kconfig symbol POWERPC. The most general Kconfig symbol for the powerpc architecture is PPC. So let's use that.

idr: remove WARN_ON_ONCE() on negative IDs

2013-03-08T23:05:34Z

idr_find(), idr_remove() and idr_replace() used to silently ignore the sign bit and perform lookup with the rest of the bits. The weird behavior has been changed such that negative IDs are treated as invalid. As the behavior change was subtle, WARN_ON_ONCE() was added in the hope of determining who's calling idr functions with negative IDs so that they can be examined for problems. Up until now, all two reported cases are ID number coming directly from userland and getting fed into idr_find() and the warnings seem to cause more problems than being helpful. Drop the WARN_ON_ONCE()s. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Reported-by: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

The arch bits are in arch/arc, some asm-generic changes (acked by Arnd), a minor change to PARISC (acked by Helge). The series is a touch bigger for a new port for 2 main reasons: 1. It enables a basic kernel in first sub-series and adds ptrace/kgdb/.. later 2. Some of the fallout of review (DeviceTree support, multi-platform- image support) were added on top of orig series, primarily to record the revision history.

Fixed dead ifdef block by adding missing Kconfig option.

2013-03-02T14:52:18Z

Added missing Kconfig option KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC which lead to a dead ifdef block in kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c:73-75. The code using KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC was originally introduced in commit '5d5314d6795f3c1c0f415348ff8c51f7de042b77' by Jason Wessel. This patchset ("kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)") added platform independent part of kdb to the linux kernel. The Kernel option however, even though it had the same options and behaviour on all supported architectures, was part of the x86 and ia64 patchset of KDB and therefore not pulled into the mainline kernel tree. I actually took the originally written Kconfig by Keith Owens (2003-06-20 according to KDB changelog) and changed it to reflect the correct behaviour, as the KDUMP patchset is not part of the kernel and the expected functionality is missing from it.
