fix jiffy calculations in calibrate_delay_direct to handle overflow

2011-02-10T19:00:09+00:00

Fixes a hang when booting as dom0 under Xen, when jiffies can be quite large by the time the kernel init gets this far.

kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT

2011-01-21T01:02:05+00:00

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

lockdep: Move early boot local IRQ enable/disable status to init/main.c

2011-01-20T12:32:33+00:00

During early boot, local IRQ is disabled until IRQ subsystem is properly initialized. During this time, no one should enable local IRQ and some operations which usually are not allowed with IRQ disabled, e.g. operations which might sleep or require communications with other processors, are allowed. lockdep tracked this with early_boot_irqs_off/on() callbacks. As other subsystems need this information too, move it to init/main.c and make it generally available. While at it, toggle the boolean to early_boot_irqs_disabled instead of enabled so that it can be initialized with %false and %true indicates the exceptional condition.

rcu: demote SRCU_SYNCHRONIZE_DELAY from kernel-parameter status

2011-01-14T12:56:49+00:00

Because the adaptive synchronize_srcu_expedited() approach has worked very well in testing, remove the kernel parameter and replace it by a C-preprocessor macro. If someone finds problems with this approach, a more complex and aggressively adaptive approach might be required. Longer term, SRCU will be merged with the other RCU implementations, at which point synchronize_srcu_expedited() will be event driven, just as synchronize_sched_expedited() currently is. At that point, there will be no need for this adaptive approach. Reported-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

decompressors: add boot-time XZ support

2011-01-13T16:03:25+00:00

This implements the API defined in which is used for kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression. This patch together with the first patch is enough for XZ-compressed initramfs and initrd; XZ-compressed kernel will need arch-specific changes. The buffering requirements described in decompress_unxz.c are stricter than with gzip, so the relevant changes should be done to the arch-specific code when adding support for XZ-compressed kernel. Similarly, the heap size in arch-specific pre-boot code may need to be increased (30 KiB is enough). The XZ decompressor needs memmove(), memeq() (memcmp() == 0), and memzero() (memset(ptr, 0, size)), which aren't available in all arch-specific pre-boot environments. I'm including simple versions in decompress_unxz.c, but a cleaner solution would naturally be nicer. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin Cc: "H.
