treewide: Add SPDX license identifier for missed files

2019-05-21T08:50:45+00:00

Add SPDX license identifiers to all files which: - Have no license information of any form - Have EXPORT_.*_SYMBOL_GPL inside which was used in the initial scan/conversion to ignore the file These files fall under the project license, GPL v2 only. The resulting SPDX license identifier is: GPL-2.0-only Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ia64: perfmon: don't mark buffer pages as PG_reserved

2019-03-06T05:07:19+00:00

In the old days, remap_pfn_range() required pages to be marked as PG_reserved, so they would e.g. never get swapped out. This was required for special mappings. Nowadays, this is fully handled via the VMA (VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP inside remap_pfn_range() to be precise). PG_reserved is no longer required but only a relic from the past. So only architecture specific MM handling might require it (e.g. to detect them as MMIO pages). As there are no architecture specific checks for PageReserved() apart from MCA handling in ia64code, this can go. Use simple vzalloc()/vfree() instead. Note that before calling vzalloc(), size has already been aligned to PAGE_SIZE, no need to align again.

mm: make vm_area_alloc() initialize core fields

2018-07-21T22:24:03+00:00

Like vm_area_dup(), it initializes the anon_vma_chain head, and the basic mm pointer. The rest of the fields end up being different for different users, although the plan is to also initialize the 'vm_ops' field to a dummy entry. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mm: use helper functions for allocating and freeing vm_area structs

2018-07-21T20:48:51+00:00

The vm_area_struct is one of the most fundamental memory management objects, but the management of it is entirely open-coded evertwhere, ranging from allocation and freeing (using kmem_cache_[z]alloc and kmem_cache_free) to initializing all the fields. We want to unify this in order to end up having some unified initialization of the vmas, and the first step to this is to at least have basic allocation functions. Right now those functions are literally just wrappers around the kmem_cache_*() calls. This is a purely mechanical conversion: # new vma: kmem_cache_zalloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -> vm_area_alloc() # copy old vma kmem_cache_alloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -> vm_area_dup(old) # free vma kmem_cache_free(vm_area_cachep, vma) -> vm_area_free(vma) to the point where the old vma passed in to the vm_area_dup() function isn't even used yet (because I've left all the old manual initialization alone).

proc: introduce proc_create_seq{,_data}

2018-05-16T05:23:35+00:00

Variants of proc_create{,_data} that directly take a struct seq_operations argument and drastically reduces the boilerplate code in the callers. All trivial callers converted over. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement

2018-02-11T22:34:03+00:00

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^$[^\"]*$$\$/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done. Scripted-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pids: introduce find_get_task_by_vpid() helper

2018-02-07T02:32:46+00:00

There are several functions that do find_task_by_vpid() followed by get_task_struct(). We can use a helper function instead.

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:36+00:00

We are going to split out of , which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder file that just maps to to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.
