Fix 'ALIGN()' macro, take 2

2006-11-27T03:05:22+00:00

You wouldn't think that doing an ALIGN() macro that aligns something up to a power-of-two boundary would be likely to have bugs, would you? But hey, in the wonderful world of mixing integer types, you have to be careful. This just makes sure that the alignment is interpreted in the same type as the thing to be aligned. Thanks to Roland Dreier, who noticed that the amso1100 driver got broken by the previous fix (that just extended the mask to "unsigned long", but was still broken in "unsigned long long" - it just happened to be the same on 64-bit architectures). See commit 4c8bd7eeee4c8f157fb61fb64b57500990b42e0e for the history of bugs here... Acked-by: Roland Dreier Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: David Miller Cc: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Add printk_timed_ratelimit()

2006-11-03T20:27:58+00:00

printk_ratelimit() has global state which makes it not useful for callers which wish to perform ratelimiting at a particular frequency. Add a printk_timed_ratelimit() which utilises caller-provided state storage to permit more flexibility. This function can in fact be used for things other than printk ratelimiting and is perhaps poorly named.

[PATCH] pr_debug: check pr_debug() arguments

2006-10-03T15:04:20+00:00

check pr_debug() arguments When DEBUG isn't defined pr_debug() is defined away as an empty macro. By throwing away the arguments we allow completely incorrect code to build. Instead let's make it an empty inline which checks arguments and mark it so gcc can check the format specification. This results in a seemingly insignificant code size increase.

[PATCH] Add NUMA_BUILD definition in kernel.h to avoid #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA

2006-09-27T15:26:12+00:00

The NUMA_BUILD constant is always available and will be set to 1 on NUMA_BUILDs. That way checks valid only under CONFIG_NUMA can easily be done without #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA F.e. if (NUMA_BUILD && ) { ... } [akpm: not a thing we'd normally do, but CONFIG_NUMA is special: it is causing ifdef explosion in core kernel, so let's see if this is a comfortable way in whcih to control that] Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] x86: Allow users to force a panic on NMI

2006-09-26T08:52:27+00:00

To quote Alan Cox: The default Linux behaviour on an NMI of either memory or unknown is to continue operation. For many environments such as scientific computing it is preferable that the box is taken out and the error dealt with than an uncorrected parity/ECC error get propogated. A small number of systems do generate NMI's for bizarre random reasons such as power management so the default is unchanged. In other respects the new proc/sys entry works like the existing panic controls already in that directory. This is separate to the edac support - EDAC allows supported chipsets to handle ECC errors well, this change allows unsupported cases to at least panic rather than cause problems further down the line.
