2016-12-24Replace <asm/uaccess.h> with <linux/uaccess.h> globallyLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
This was entirely automated, using the script by Al: PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*<asm/uaccess.h>' sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include <linux/uaccess.h>!" \ $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h) to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

2011-07-21drivers: fix up various ->llseek() implementationsJosef Bacik1-0/+4
Fix up a few ->llseek() implementations that won't deal with SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA properly. Make them future proof so that if we ever add new options they will return -EINVAL. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2010-10-05drivers: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutexArnd Bergmann1-3/+4
All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial way to serialize their private file operations, typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic pushdown from VFS. None of these drivers appears to want to lock against other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level lock in their file operations, meaning that there is no lock-order inversion problem. Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely, replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case. Using a scripted approach means we can avoid typos. These drivers do not seem to be under active maintainance from my brief investigation. Apologies to those maintainers that I have missed. file=$1 name=$2 if grep -q lock_kernel ${file} ; then if grep -q 'include.*linux.mutex.h' ${file} ; then sed -i '/include.*<linux\/smp_lock.h>/d' ${file} else sed -i 's/include.*<linux\/smp_lock.h>.*$/include <linux\/mutex.h>/g' ${file} fi sed -i ${file} \ -e "/^#include.*linux.mutex.h/,$ { 1,/^\(static\|int\|long\)/ { /^\(static\|int\|long\)/istatic DEFINE_MUTEX(${name}_mutex); } }" \ -e "s/\(un\)*lock_kernel\>[ ]*()/mutex_\1lock(\&${name}_mutex)/g" \ -e '/[ ]*cycle_kernel_lock();/d' else sed -i -e '/include.*\<smp_lock.h\>/d' ${file} \ -e '/cycle_kernel_lock()/d' fi Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2010-05-17drivers: Push down BKL into various driversArnd Bergmann1-3/+14
These are the last remaining device drivers using the ->ioctl file operation in the drivers directory (except from v4l drivers).

2009-10-14nvram: Drop the bkl from nvram_llseek()Frederic Weisbecker1-6/+3
There is nothing to protect inside nvram_llseek(), the file offset doesn't need to be protected and nvram_len is only initialized from an __init path. It's safe to remove the big kernel lock there.

2009-09-11powerpc/nvram: Enable use Generic NVRAM driver for different size chipsMartyn Welch1-7/+20
Remove the reliance on a staticly defined NVRAM size, allowing platforms to support NVRAMs with sizes differing from the standard. A fall back value is provided for platforms not supporting this extension. Signed-off-by: Martyn Welch <martyn.welch@gefanuc.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2008-06-13driver/char/generic_nvram: fix bannerPhilippe De Muyter1-1/+1

2007-02-12[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 3Arjan van de Ven1-1/+1
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

2006-03-28[PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbersBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-1/+4
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.

2005-04-17Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+145
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
