| | | | | | | | | None of these files use any of the functionality promised by asm/semaphore.h.

* Generic semaphore implementationMatthew Wilcox2008-04-172-169/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and extensibility.

| | | | | | | | | | | | The header files for the Pb1200/DBAu1200 boards have wrong definition for the IDE interface's decoded range length -- it should be 512 bytes according to what the IDE driver does. In addition, the IDE platform device claims 1 byte too many for its memory resource -- fix the platform code and the IDE driver in accordance.

This is achieved by just giving user a chance to define the clock explicitly in the board config. via CONFIG_SOC_AU1000_FREQUENCY option, defaulting to 396 MHz if the option is not given...

* [MIPS] Handle I-cache coherency in flush_cache_range()Ralf Baechle2008-02-191-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So far flush_cache_range() did't consider the I-cache largely because it did rarely ever matter to real world code. This was working primarily because normally code and data are don't share the same pages - with the exception of MIPS16 code which uses address constants embedded between the code. The following sequence of events may break the code: o MIPS16 executable being loaded o dynamic linker relocates the address constants embedded into the code: o Uses mprotect(2) to make code pages PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE o Performs the actual relocations by writing to the pages which likely are COW. Because no PROT_EXEC is set I-cache coherence will not be considered. o Uses mprotect(2) to switch code pages back to PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC. This results in a call to flush_cache_range() which also does not consider I-caches. o => executing the page just having been relocated may now result in the I-cache getting refilled with stale data from memory.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions between crashkernel area and already used memory. This patch: Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE. If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts. Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition inside reserve_bootmem_core().

* get rid of NR_OPEN and introduce a sysctl_nr_openEric Dumazet2008-02-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open more than 1024*1024 handles. Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process. Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential exhaust. This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to 1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload needs it.
