Use this new function to make code more comprehensible, since we are reinitialzing the completion, not initializing. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: linux-next resyncs] Signed-off-by:

For the casual device driver writer, it is hard to remember when to use init_completion (to init a completion structure) or INIT_COMPLETION (to *reinit* a completion structure). Furthermore, while all other completion functions exepct a pointer as a parameter, INIT_COMPLETION does not. To make it easier to remember which function to use and to make code more readable, introduce a new inline function with the proper name and consistent argument type. Update the kernel-doc for init_completion while we are here. Signed-off-by:

Enable the processing of HID input records before the RTC will be registered, in order to allow the RTC register function to read clock. Without doing that the clock can only be read after the probe function has finished. Signed-off-by:

Use the wrapper function for retrieving the platform data instead of accessing dev->platform_data directly. This is a cosmetic change to make the code simpler and enhance the readability. Signed-off-by:

This ignores %n in printf again, as was originally documented. Implementing %n poses a greater security risk than utility, so it should stay ignored. To help anyone attempting to use %n, a warning will be emitted if it is encountered. Based on an earlier patch by Joe Perches. Because %n was designed to write to pointers on the stack, it has been frequently used as an attack vector when bugs are found that leak user-controlled strings into functions that ultimately process format strings. While this class of bug can still be turned into an information leak, removing %n eliminates the common method of elevating such a bug into an arbitrary kernel memory writing primitive, significantly reducing the danger of this class of bug. For seq_file users that need to know the length of a written string for padding, please see seq_setwidth() and seq_pad() instead. Signed-off-by:

All seq_printf() users are using "%n" for calculating padding size, convert them to use seq_setwidth() / seq_pad() pair. Signed-off-by:

There are several users who want to know bytes written by seq_*() for alignment purpose. Currently they are using %n format for knowing it because seq_*() returns 0 on success. This patch introduces seq_setwidth() and seq_pad() for allowing them to align without using %n format. Signed-off-by:

Avoid the fragile Kconfig construct guestimating spinlock_t sizes; use a friendly compile-time test to determine this. [kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com: drop CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF] Signed-off-by:

If DEBUG_SPINLOCK and DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC are enabled spinlock_t on x86_64 is 72 bytes. For page->ptl they will be allocated from kmalloc-96 slab, so we loose 24 on each. An average system can easily allocate few tens thousands of page->ptl and overhead is significant. Let's create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation to solve this. Signed-off-by:

Use kernel/bounds.c to convert build-time spinlock_t size check into a preprocessor symbol and apply that to properly separate the page::ptl situation. Signed-off-by:

If split page table lock is in use, we embed the lock into struct page of table's page. We have to disable split lock, if spinlock_t is too big be to be embedded, like when DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC enabled. This patch add support for dynamic allocation of split page table lock if we can't embed it to struct page. page->ptl is unsigned long now and we use it as spinlock_t if sizeof(spinlock_t) <= sizeof(long), otherwise it's pointer to spinlock_t. The spinlock_t allocated in pgtable_page_ctor() for PTE table and in pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() for PMD table. All other helpers converted to support dynamically allocated page->ptl. Signed-off-by:

At the moment xtensa uses slab allocator for PTE table. It doesn't work with enabled split page table lock: slab uses page->slab_cache and page->first_page for its pages. These fields share stroage with page->ptl. Signed-off-by:
