linux/types.h: Always use unsigned long for pgoff_t

2015-02-13T02:54:13Z

Everybody uses unsigned long for pgoff_t, and no one ever overrode the definition of pgoff_t. Keep it that way, and remove the option of overriding it. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Cc: Randy Dunlap Cc: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

time: move the timecounter/cyclecounter code into its own file.

2014-12-30T23:29:25Z

The timecounter code has almost nothing to do with the clocksource code. Let it live in its own file. This will help isolate the timecounter users from the clocksource users in the source tree. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran Acked-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

DMA-API: Clarify physical/bus address distinction

2014-05-20T22:54:21Z

The DMA-API documentation sometimes refers to "physical addresses" when it really means "bus addresses." Sometimes these are identical, but they may be different if the bridge leading to the bus performs address translation. Update the documentation to use "bus address" when appropriate. Also, consistently capitalize "DMA", use parens with function names, use dev_printk() in examples, and reword a few sections for clarity. No functional change; documentation changes only.

mm, oom: fix race when specifying a thread as the oom origin

2012-12-12T01:22:27Z

test_set_oom_score_adj() and compare_swap_oom_score_adj() are used to specify that current should be killed first if an oom condition occurs in between the two calls. The usage is short oom_score_adj = test_set_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX); ... compare_swap_oom_score_adj(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX, oom_score_adj); to store the thread's oom_score_adj, temporarily change it to the maximum score possible, and then restore the old value if it is still the same. This happens to still be racy, however, if the user writes OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX to /proc/pid/oom_score_adj in between the two calls. The compare_swap_oom_score_adj() will then incorrectly reset the old value prior to the write of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX. To fix this, introduce a new oom_flags_t member in struct signal_struct that will be used for per-thread oom killer flags. KSM and swapoff can now use a bit in this member to specify that threads should be killed first in oom conditions without playing around with oom_score_adj. This also allows the correct oom_score_adj to always be shown when reading /proc/pid/oom_score.

merge task_work and rcu_head, get rid of separate allocation for keyring case

2012-07-22T19:57:56Z

task_work and rcu_head are identical now; merge them (calling the result struct callback_head, rcu_head #define'd to it), kill separate allocation in security/keys since we can just use cred->rcu now. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

irq: Kill pointless irqd_to_hw export

2012-04-11T04:39:17Z

It makes no sense to export this trivial function. Make it a static inline instead. This patch also drops virq_to_hw from arch/c6x since it is unused by that architecture. v2: Move irq_hw_number_t into types.h to fix ARM build failure Signed-off-by: Grant Likely Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt
