2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2008-12-21powerpc: Protect against NULL pointer deref in phyp-dump codeTony Breeds
print_dump_header() will be called at least once with a NULL pointer in a normal boot sequence. If DEBUG is defined then we will dereference the pointer and crash. Add a quick fix to exit early in the NULL pointer case.

2008-04-17[POWERPC] pseries/phyp dump: Reserve a variable amount of space at bootManish Ahuja
This changes the way we calculate how much space to reserve for the pHyp dump. Currently we reserve 256MB only. With this change, the code first checks to see if an amount has been specified on the boot command line with the "phyp_dump_reserve_size" option, and if so, uses that much. Otherwise it computes 5% of total ram and rounds it down to a multiple of 256MB, and uses the larger of that or 256MB. This is for large systems with a lot of memory (10GB or more). The aim is to have more space available for the kernel on reboot on machines with more resources. Although the dump will be collected pretty fast and the memory released really early on allowing the machine to have the full memory available, this alleviates any issues that can be caused by having way too little memory on very very large systems during those few minutes.

This adds /sys/kernel/phyp_dump_active so that kdump init scripts may look for it and take appropriate action if this file is found. This file is only created when phyp_dump has been registered. Signed-off-by: Manish Ahuja <mahuja@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-03-26[POWERPC] pseries: phyp dump: Disable phyp-dump through boot-varManish Ahuja
This adds a kernel command line option "phyp_dump", which takes a 0/1 value for disabling/ enabling phyp_dump at boot time. Kdump can use this on cmdline (phyp_dump=0) to disable phyp-dump during boot when enabling itself. This will ensure only one dumping mechanism is active at any given time.

2008-03-26[POWERPC] pseries: phyp dump: Use sysfs to release reserved memManish Ahuja
Check to see if there actually is data from a previously crashed kernel waiting. If so, allow user-space tools to grab the data (by reading /proc/kcore). When user-space finishes dumping a section, it must release that memory by writing to sysfs. For example, echo "0x40000000 0x10000000" > /sys/kernel/release_region will release 256MB starting at the 1GB. The released memory becomes free for general use.
