Impact: Replaces x86 kernel decompressor with new code This is the third part of the bzip2/lzma patch The bzip patch is based on an idea by Christian Ludwig, includes support for compressing the kernel with bzip2 or lzma rather than gzip. Both compressors give smaller sizes than gzip. Lzma's decompresses faster than bzip2. It also supports ramdisks and initramfs' compressed using these two compressors. The functionality has been successfully used for a couple of years by the udpcast project This version applies to "tip" kernel 2.6.28 This part contains: - support for new bzip2 and lzma kernel compression for x86 Signed-off-by: Alain Knaff <alain@knaff.lu> Signed-off-by: H.

Impact: Replaces inflate.c with a wrapper around zlib_inflate; new library code This is the first part of the bzip2/lzma patch The bzip patch is based on an idea by Christian Ludwig, includes support for compressing the kernel with bzip2 or lzma rather than gzip. Both compressors give smaller sizes than gzip. Lzma's decompresses faster than bzip2. It also supports ramdisks and initramfs' compressed using these two compressors. The functionality has been successfully used for a couple of years by the udpcast project This version applies to "tip" kernel 2.6.28 This part contains: - changed inflate.c to accomodate rest of patch - implementation of bzip2 compression (not used at this stage yet) - implementation of lzma compression (not used at this stage yet) - Makefile routines to support bzip2 and lzma kernel compression Signed-off-by: Alain Knaff <alain@knaff.lu> Signed-off-by: H.

Before, when we only ever printed out the pointer value itself, a NULL pointer would never cause issues and might as well be printed out as just its numeric value. However, with the extended %p formats, especially %pR, we might validly want to print out resources for debugging. And sometimes they don't even exist, and the resource pointer is just NULL. Print it out as such, rather than oopsing. This is a more generic version of a patch done by Trent Piepho (catching all %p cases rather than just %pR, and using "(null)" instead of "[NULL]" to match glibc).

They are actually alpha vs. i386/arm/m68k i.e. ecoff vs. aout. In the only place where we actually tried to handle arm and i386/m68k in different ways (START_DATA() in coredump handling), the arm variant works for all of them (i386 and m68k have u.start_code set to 0).

Impact: Reduce memory usage, use new API. This is part of an effort to reduce structure sizes for machines configured with large NR_CPUS. cpumask_t gets replaced by cpumask_var_t, which is either struct cpumask[1] (small NR_CPUS) or struct cpumask * (large NR_CPUS).

Impact: Reduce future system panics due to cpumask operations using NR_CPUS Insure that code does not look at bits >= nr_cpu_ids as when cpumasks are allocated based on nr_cpu_ids, these extra bits will not be defined. Also some other minor updates: * change in to use cpu accessor function set_cpu_present() instead of directly accessing cpu_present_map w/cpu_clear() [arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c] * use cpumask_of() instead of &cpumask_of_cpu() [arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c] * optimize some cpu_mask_to_apicid_and functions.

Mike Travis authored
Impact: prevents panic from stack overflow on numa-capable machines. Some of the "removal of stack hogs" changes in kernel/sched.c by using node_to_cpumask_ptr were undone by the early cpumask API updates, and causes a panic due to stack overflow. This patch undoes those changes by using cpumask_of_node() which returns a 'const struct cpumask *'. In addition, cpu_coregoup_map is replaced with cpu_coregroup_mask further reducing stack usage. (Both of these updates removed 9 FIXME's!) Also: Pick up some remaining changes from the old 'cpumask_t' functions to the new 'struct cpumask *' functions. Optimize memory traffic by allocating each percpu local_cpu_mask on the same node as the referring cpu.
