Currently a SIGTRAP can denote any one of below reasons.
- Breakpoint hit
- H/W debug register hit
- Single step
- Signal sent through kill() or rasie()
Architectures like powerpc/parisc provides infrastructure to demultiplex
SIGTRAP signal by passing down the information for receiving SIGTRAP through
si_code of siginfot_t structure. Here is an attempt is generalise this
infrastructure by extending it to x86 and x86_64 archs.

This helps automated tools like kerneloops.org to collect the data

It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7. However,
the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
function descriptors
Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

The attached patch seems to already exist in a number of branches -- it
keeps popping up on Google for me, and is certainly already in Debian --
but is strangely absent from mainstream.
The problem appears to be that the patched file ends up as part of the
target toolchain, but unfortunately the gcc constant folding doesn't
appear to eliminate the __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC value early
enough. Certainly compiling C++ programs which use _IO... macros as

When defining a symbol in vmlinux.lds, use the VMLINUX_SYMBOL macro.
VMLINUX_SYMBOL adds a prefix charactor.
You can't just use straight symbol names in common header files as they
dont take into consideration weird arch-specific ABI conventions. in the
case of Blackfin/h8300, the ABI dictates that any C-visible symbols have
an underscore prefixed to them. Thus all symbols in vmlinux.lds.h need to
be wrapped in VMLINUX_SYMBOL() so that each arch can put hide this magic
in their own files.

This is required by CPU hotplug, because early users have to register
notifiers before going SMP. One such CPU hotplug user is the relay
interface with buffer-only channels, which needs to register such a
notifier, to be usable in early code. This in turn is used by kmemtrace.

Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:
This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).
I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated.
A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.
If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.
The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.
The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.
This patch:
dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.
Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.

This adds a simple sysfs interface for GPIOs.
/sys/class/gpio
/export ... asks the kernel to export a GPIO to userspace
/unexport ... to return a GPIO to the kernel
/gpioN ... for each exported GPIO #N
/value ... always readable, writes fail for input GPIOs
/direction ... r/w as: in, out (default low); write high, low
/gpiochipN ... for each gpiochip; #N is its first GPIO
/base ... (r/o) same as N
/label ... (r/o) descriptive, not necessarily unique
/ngpio ... (r/o) number of GPIOs; numbered N .. N+(ngpio - 1)
GPIOs claimed by kernel code may be exported by its owner using a new
gpio_export() call, which should be most useful for driver debugging.
Such exports may optionally be done without a "direction" attribute.
Userspace may ask to take over a GPIO by writing to a sysfs control file,
helping to cope with incomplete board support or other "one-off"
requirements that don't merit full kernel support:
echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/export
... will gpio_request(23, "sysfs") and gpio_export(23);
use /sys/class/gpio/gpio-23/direction to (re)configure it,
when that GPIO can be used as both input and output.
echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
... will gpio_free(23), when it was exported as above
The extra D-space footprint is a few hundred bytes, except for the sysfs
resources associated with each exported GPIO. The additional I-space
footprint is about two thirds of the current size of gpiolib (!). Since
no /dev node creation is involved, no "udev" support is needed.
Related changes:
* This adds a device pointer to "struct gpio_chip". When GPIO
providers initialize that, sysfs gpio class devices become children of
that device instead of being "virtual" devices.
* The (few) gpio_chip providers which have such a device node have
been updated.
* Some gpio_chip drivers also needed to update their module "owner"
field ... for which missing kerneldoc was added.
* Some gpio_chips don't support input GPIOs. Those GPIOs are now
flagged appropriately when the chip is registered.
Based on previous patches, and discussion both on and off LKML.
A Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-gpio update is ready to submit once this
merges to mainline.

Some drivers have their own hacks to bypass the kernel's firmware loader
and build their firmware into the kernel; this renders those unnecessary.
Other drivers don't use the firmware loader at all, because they always
want the firmware to be available. This allows them to start using the
firmware loader.
A third set of drivers already use the firmware loader, but can't be
used without help from userspace, which sometimes requires an initrd.
This allows them to work in a static kernel.

This patch adds an API for doing read-modify-write updates to a pte's
protection bits which may race against hardware updates to the pte.
After reading the pte, the hardware may asynchonously set the accessed
or dirty bits on a pte, which would be lost when writing back the
modified pte value.
The existing technique to handle this race is to use
ptep_get_and_clear() atomically fetch the old pte value and clear it
in memory. This has the effect of marking the pte as non-present,
which will prevent the hardware from updating its state. When the new
value is written back, the pte will be present again, and the hardware
can resume updating the access/dirty flags.
When running in a virtualized environment, pagetable updates are
relatively expensive, since they generally involve some trap into the
hypervisor. To mitigate the cost of these updates, we tend to batch
them.
However, because of the atomic nature of ptep_get_and_clear(), it is
inherently non-batchable. This new interface allows batching by
giving the underlying implementation enough information to open a
transaction between the read and write phases:
ptep_modify_prot_start() returns the current pte value, and puts the
pte entry into a state where either the hardware will not update the
pte, or if it does, the updates will be preserved on commit.
ptep_modify_prot_commit() writes back the updated pte, makes sure that
any hardware updates made since ptep_modify_prot_start() are
preserved.
ptep_modify_prot_start() and _commit() must be exactly paired, and
used while holding the appropriate pte lock. They do not protect
against other software updates of the pte in any way.
The current implementations of ptep_modify_prot_start and _commit are
functionally unchanged from before: _start() uses ptep_get_and_clear()
fetch the pte and zero the entry, preventing any hardware updates.
_commit() simply writes the new pte value back knowing that the
hardware has not updated the pte in the meantime.

Some quirks should be called with interrupt disabled, we can't directly
call them in .resume_early. Also the patch introduces
pci_fixup_resume_early and pci_fixup_suspend, which matches current
device core callbacks (.suspend/.resume_early).
TBD: Somebody knows why we need quirk resume should double check if a
quirk should be called in resume or resume_early. I changed some per my
understanding, but can't make sure I fixed all.

While examining holes in percpu section I found this :
c05f5000 D per_cpu__current_task
c05f5000 D __per_cpu_start
c05f5004 D per_cpu__cpu_number
c05f5008 D per_cpu__irq_regs
c05f500c d per_cpu__cpu_devices
c05f5040 D per_cpu__cyc2ns
<Big Hole of about 4000 bytes>
c05f6000 d per_cpu__cpuid4_info
c05f6004 d per_cpu__cache_kobject
c05f6008 d per_cpu__index_kobject
<Big Hole of about 4000 bytes>
c05f7000 D per_cpu__gdt_page
This is because gdt_page is a percpu variable, defined with
a page alignement, and linker is doing its job, two times because of .o
nesting in the build process.
I introduced a new macro DEFINE_PER_CPU_PAGE_ALIGNED() to avoid
wasting this space. All page aligned variables (only one at this time)
are put in a separate
subsection .data.percpu.page_aligned, at the very begining of percpu zone.
Before patch , on a x86_32 machine :
.data.percpu 30232 3227471872
.data.percpu 22168 3227471872
Thats 8064 bytes saved for each CPU.
