Dmitri Vorobiev 7580c9c393 MIPS: Replace all usages of CL_SIZE by COMMAND_LINE_SIZE
The MIPS-specific macro CL_SIZE is merely aliasing the macro
COMMAND_LINE_SIZE. Other architectures use the latter; also,
COMMAND_LINE_SIZE is documented in kernel-parameters.txt, so
let's use it, and remove the alias.

Eric W. Biederman 6d4561110a sysctl: Drop & in front of every proc_handler.
For consistency drop & in front of every proc_handler.  Explicity
taking the address is unnecessary and it prevents optimizations
like stubbing the proc_handlers to NULL.

Eric W. Biederman 1639319222 sysctl mips/lasat: Remove dead binary sysctl support
Now that sys_sysctl is a generic wrapper around /proc/sys  .ctl_name
and .strategy members of sysctl tables are dead code.  Remove them.

The deleted strategy routines here surprise me.  ctl_name was
CTL_UNNUMBERED so they would not have been called at all.

Thomas Horsten 1f34f2e426 [MIPS] Lasat: sysctl fixup
LASAT's sysctl interface was broken, it failed a check during boot because
a single entry had a sysctl number and the rest were unnumbered. When I
fixed it I noticed that the whole sysctl file needed a spring clean, it was
using mutexes where it wasn't needed (it's only needed to protect during
writes to the EEPROM), so I moved that stuff out and generally cleaned the
whole thing up.

So now, LASAT's sysctl/proc interface is working again.

Eric W. Biederman 0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

While C99 converting the ctl_table initializers I realized that the binary

Including CTL_KERN KERN_VERSION as used by glibc.  So I just removed the

Luckily these sysctl were inserted at the end of the sysctl list so this bug

Franck Bui-Huu e77c232cfc [MIPS] Compile __do_IRQ() when really needed
__do_IRQ() is needed only by irq handlers that can't use
default handlers defined in kernel/irq/chip.c.

For others platforms there's no need to compile this function
since it won't be used. For those platforms this patch defines
GENERIC_HARDIRQS_NO__DO_IRQ symbol which is used exactly for
this purpose.

Futhermore for platforms which do not use __do_IRQ(), end()
method which is part of the 'irq_chip' structure is not used.
This patch simply removes this method in this case.

Atsushi Nemoto 1603b5aca4 [MIPS] IRQ cleanups
This is a big irq cleanup patch.

* Use set_irq_chip() to register irq_chip.
* Initialize .mask, .unmask, .mask_ack field.  Functions for these
  method are already exist in most case.
* Do not initialize .startup, .shutdown, .enable, .disable fields if
  default routines provided by irq_chip_set_defaults() were suitable.
* Remove redundant irq_desc initializations.
* Remove unnecessary local_irq_save/local_irq_restore, spin_lock.

With this cleanup, it would be easy to switch to slightly lightwait
irq flow handlers (handle_level_irq(), etc.) instead of __do_IRQ().

Though whole this patch is quite large, changes in each irq_chip are
not quite simple.  Please review and test on your platform.  Thanks.

Ingo Molnar d1bef4ed5f [PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chip
This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
functionality.

While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
the new 'irq chip' abstraction.

The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
(level/edge/etc.) type of details.

This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.

As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
(master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.

The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
and more consolidation between architectures.

We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.

This patch:

rename desc->handler to desc->chip.

Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch.  But having
both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
truly is.

I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
frequently.

So lets get over with this quickly.  The conversion was done automatically
via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.

This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

Alan Stern e041c68341 [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2

We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:

	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;

	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.

We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.

With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)

There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)

Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.

Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

  ATOMIC CHAINS
  -------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain
arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:		ia64die_chain
arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:		powerpc_die_chain
arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c:		sparc64die_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c:		die_chain
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:	xaction_notifier_list
kernel/panic.c:				panic_notifier_list
kernel/profile.c:			task_free_notifier
net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:		hci_notifier
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_chain
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_expect_chain
net/ipv6/addrconf.c:			inet6addr_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain

  BLOCKING CHAINS
  ---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.

Atsushi Nemoto 53c2df2f4e Use rtc_lock to protect RTC operations
Many RTC routines were not protected against each other, so there are
potential races, for example, ntp-update against /dev/rtc.  This patch
fixes them using rtc_lock.
