The core now has a threadinfo allocator which uses a kmemcache when THREAD_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE. Deal with the xstate cleanup in the new arch_release_task_struct() function.

There is no functional difference. __get_free_pages() ends up calling alloc_pages_node(). This also allocates only one page which matches THREAD_SIZE instead of an extra page for nothing.

The only difference is the free_thread_info function, which frees xstate. Use the new arch_release_task_struct() function instead and switch over to the core allocator.

Several architectures have their own kmemcache based thread allocator because THREAD_SIZE is smaller than PAGE_SIZE. Add it to the core code conditionally on THREAD_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE so the private copies can go.

These flags can be useful for extra allocations outside of the core code. Add __GFP_NOTRACK to them, so the archs which have kmemcheck do not have to provide extra allocators just for that reason.

commit 771dae81 (powerpc/cpuidle: Add cpu_idle_wait() to allow switching of idle routines) implemented cpu_idle_wait() for powerpc. The changelog says: "The equivalent routine for x86 is in arch/x86/kernel/process.c but the powerpc implementation is different.": Unfortunately the changelog is completely useless as it does not tell _WHY_ it is different. Aside of being different the implementation is patently wrong. The rescheduling IPI is async. That means that there is no guarantee, that the other cores have executed the IPI when cpu_idle_wait() returns. But that's the whole purpose of this function: to guarantee that no CPU uses the old idle handler anymore. Use the smp_functional_call() based implementation, which fulfils the requirements. [ This code is going to replaced by a core version to remove all the pointless copies in arch/*, but this one should go to stable ] Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Deepthi Dharwar <deepthi@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Trinabh Gupta <g.trinabh@gmail.com> Cc: Arun R Bharadwaj <arun.r.bharadwaj@gmail.com> Acked-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120507175651.980164748@linutronix.de Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
