The latest set of signal-RCU patches does not use get_task_struct_rcu(). Attached is a patch that removes it. Signed-off-by:

Some simplification in checking signal delivery against concurrent exit. Instead of using get_task_struct_rcu(), which increments the task_struct reference count, check the reference count after acquiring sighand lock. Signed-off-by:

RCU tasklist_lock and RCU signal handling: send signals RCU-read-locked instead of tasklist_lock read-locked. This is a scalability improvement on SMP and a preemption-latency improvement under PREEMPT_RCU. Signed-off-by:

Applying RCU to the task structure broke oprofile, because free_task_notify() can now be called from softirq. This means that the task_mortuary lock must be acquired with irq disabled in order to avoid intermittent self-deadlock. Since irq is now disabled, the critical section within process_task_mortuary() has been restructured to be O(1) in order to maximize scalability and minimize realtime latency degradation.

Jeff Dike authored
Most of the architectures have the same asm/futex.h. This consolidates them into asm-generic, with the arches including it from their own asm/futex.h. In the case of UML, this reverts the old broken futex.h and goes back to using the same one as almost everyone else. Signed-off-by:

____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp is currently used to align critical structures and avoid false sharing. It uses per-arch L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX and people find L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX useless. However, we have been using ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp to align structures on the internode cacheline size. As per Andi's suggestion, following patch kills ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp and introduces INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT, which defaults to L1_CACHE_SHIFT for all arches. Arches needing L3/Internode cacheline alignment can define INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT in the arch asm/cache.h. Patch replaces ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp with ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp With this patch, L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX can be killed Signed-off-by:

David Howells authored
Fix a number of miscellanous items: (1) Declare lock sections in the linker script. (2) Recurse in the correct manner in the arch makefile. (3) asm/bug.h requires asm/linkage.h to be included first. One C file puts asm/bug.h first. (4) Add an empty RTC header file to avoid missing header file errors. (5) sg_dma_address() should use the dma_address member of a scatter list. (6) Add trivial pci_unmap support. (7) Add pgprot_noncached() (8) Discard u_quad_t. (9) Use ~0UL rather than ULONG_MAX in unistd.h in case the latter isn't declared. (10) Add an empty VGA header file to avoid missing header file errors. (11) Add an XOR header file to use the generic XOR stuff. Signed-off-by: -

Drop support for debugging features that aren't supported on FRV: (*) EARLY_PRINTK The on-chip UARTs are set up early enough that this isn't required, and VGA support isn't available. There's also a gdbstub available. (*) DEBUG_PAGEALLOC This can't be easily be done since we use huge static mappings to cover the kernel, not pages. Signed-off-by:

PNX010X support for CS89x0 should be conditional on NET_PCI, as it is an 'on board controller' and NET_PCI includes that category of NICs. Since ARCH_PNX0105 was recently changed to ARCH_PNX010X, incorporate that change as well while we're at it. Signed-off-by:
