An else cannot start a type, it would have to be within a block after the else. This can trigger false modifier matching. Signed-off-by:

FLEX_ARRAY_INIT(element_size, total_nr_elements) cannot determine if either parameter is valid, so flex arrays which are statically allocated with this interface can easily become corrupted or reference beyond its allocated memory. This removes FLEX_ARRAY_INIT() as a struct flex_array initializer since no initializer may perform the required checking. Instead, the array is now defined with a new interface: DEFINE_FLEX_ARRAY(name, element_size, total_nr_elements) This may be prefixed with `static' for file scope. This interface includes compile-time checking of the parameters to ensure they are valid. Since the validity of both element_size and total_nr_elements depend on FLEX_ARRAY_BASE_SIZE and FLEX_ARRAY_PART_SIZE, the kernel build will fail if either of these predefined values changes such that the array parameters are no longer valid. Since BUILD_BUG_ON() requires compile time constants, several of the static inline functions that were once local to lib/flex_array.c had to be moved to include/linux/flex_array.h. Signed-off-by:

Add a new function to the flex_array API: int flex_array_shrink(struct flex_array *fa) This function will free all unused second-level pages. Since elements are now poisoned if they are not allocated with __GFP_ZERO, it's possible to identify parts that consist solely of unused elements. flex_array_shrink() returns the number of pages freed.

Newly initialized flex_array's and/or flex_array_part's are now poisoned with a new poison value, FLEX_ARRAY_FREE. It's value is similar to POISON_FREE used in the various slab allocators, but is different to distinguish between flex array's poisoned kmem and slab allocator poisoned kmem. This will allow us to identify flex_array_part's that only contain free elements (and free them with an addition to the flex_array API). This could also be extended in the future to identify `get' uses on elements that have not been `put'. If __GFP_ZERO is passed for a part's gfp mask, the poisoning is avoided. These elements are considered to be in-use since they have been initialized. Signed-off-by:

Add a new function to the flex_array API: int flex_array_clear(struct flex_array *fa, unsigned int element_nr) This function will zero the element at element_nr in the flex_array. Although this is equivalent to using flex_array_put() and passing a pointer to zero'd memory, flex_array_clear() does not require such a pointer to memory that would most likely need to be allocated on the caller's stack which could be significantly large depending on element_size.

Previous behavior was "bottom-up" in each section from the pattern "F:" entry that matched. Now information is entered into the various lists in the "as entered" order for each matched section. This also allows the F: entry to be put anywhere in a section, not just as the last entries in the section. And a couple of improvements: Don't alphabetically sort before outputting the matched scm, status, subsystem and web sections. Ignore content after a single email address so these entries are acceptable M: name <address> whatever other comment And a fix: Make an M: entry without a name again use the name from an immediately preceding P: line if it exists.

--pattern-depth is used to control how many levels of directory traversal should be performed to find maintainers. default is 0 (all directory levels). For instance: MAINTAINERS currently has multiple M: and F: entries that match net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_app.c IPVS M: Wensong Zhang <wensong@linux-vs.org> M: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> M: Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi.bg> [...] F: net/netfilter/ipvs/ NETFILTER/IPTABLES/IPCHAINS [...] M: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> [...] F: net/netfilter/ NETWORKING [GENERAL] M: "David S.

Before this change, matched sections were added in the order of appearance in the normally alphabetic section order of the MAINTAINERS file. For instance, finding the maintainer for drivers/scsi/wd7000.c would first find "SCSI SUBSYSTEM", then "WD7000 SCSI SUBSYSTEM", then "THE REST". before patch: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -f drivers/scsi/wd7000.c James E.J. Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> Miroslav Zagorac <zaga@fly.cc.fer.hr> linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org get_maintainer.pl now selects matched sections by longest pattern match. Longest is the number of "/"s and any specific file pattern. This changes the example output order of MAINTAINERS to whatever is selected in "WD7000 SUBSYSTEM", then "SCSI SYSTEM", then "THE REST". after patch: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -f drivers/scsi/wd7000.c Miroslav Zagorac <zaga@fly.cc.fer.hr> James E.J.

Julia Lawall suggested that get_maintainers.pl should have the ability to include signatories of commits that are modified by a particular patch. Vegard Nossum did something similar once. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/29/449 The modified script looks the commits for all lines in the patch, and includes the "-by:" signatories for those commits. It uses the same git-min-percent, git-max-maintainers, and git-min-signatures options. git-since is ignored. It can be used independently from the --git default, so ./scripts/get_maintainers.pl --nogit --git-blame <patch> or ./scripts/get_maintainers.pl --nogit --git-blame -f <file> is acceptable. If used with -f <file>, all lines/commits for the file are checked. --git-blame can be slow if used with -f <file> --git-blame does not work with -f <directory> Signed-off-by:

Move the state residency accounting and statistics computation off the hot exit path. On exit, the need to recompute statistics is recorded, and new statistics will be computed when menu_select is called again. The expected effect is to reduce processor wakeup latency from sleep (C-states). We are speaking of few hundreds of cycles reduction out of a several microseconds latency (determined by the hardware transition), so it is difficult to measure. Signed-off-by:

Fix the menu idle governor which balances power savings, energy efficiency and performance impact. The reason for a reworked governor is that there have been serious performance issues reported with the existing code on Nehalem server systems. To show this I'm sure Andrew wants to see benchmark results: (benchmark is "fio", "no cstates" is using "idle=poll") no cstates current linux new algorithm 1 disk 107 Mb/s 85 Mb/s 105 Mb/s 2 disks 215 Mb/s 123 Mb/s 209 Mb/s 12 disks 590 Mb/s 320 Mb/s 585 Mb/s In various power benchmark measurements, no degredation was found by our measurement&diagnostics team. Obviously a small percentage more power was used in the "fio" benchmark, due to the much higher performance. While it would be a novel idea to describe the new algorithm in this commit message, I cheaped out and described it in comments in the code instead.

Convert m68k to use GENERIC_TIME via the arch_getoffset() infrastructure, reducing the amount of arch specific code we need to maintain. I've taken my best swing at converting this, but I'm not 100% confident I got it right. My cross-compiler is now out of date (gcc4.2) so I wasn't able to check if it compiled. Any assistance from arch maintainers or testers to get this merged would be great. Signed-off-by:

Convert m32r to use GENERIC_TIME via the arch_getoffset() infrastructure, reducing the amount of arch specific code we need to maintain. I also noted that m32r doesn't seem to be taking the xtime write lock before calling do_timer()! That looks like a pretty bad bug to me. If folks agree, let me know and I can move the lock grab to the correct spot. Signed-off-by:

Converts alpha to use GENERIC_TIME via the arch_getoffset() infrastructure, reducing the amount of arch specific code we need to maintain. I suspect the alpha arch could even be further improved to provide and rpcc() based clocksource, but not having the hardware, I don't feel comfortable attempting the more complicated conversion (but I'd be glad to help if anyone else is interested).

Some architectures (like the Blackfin arch) implement some of the "simpler" features that one would expect out of a MMU such as memory protection. In our case, we actually get read/write/exec protection down to the page boundary so processes can't stomp on each other let alone the kernel. There is a performance decrease (which depends greatly on the workload) however as the hardware/software interaction was not optimized at design time. Signed-off-by:

When the mm being switched to matches the active mm, we don't need to increment and then drop the mm count. In a simple benchmark this happens in about 50% of time. Making that conditional reduces contention on that cacheline on SMP systems. Acked-by:
