50953fe9e0 slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

57dace2391 [POWERPC] spufs: make spu page faults not block scheduling
Until now, we have always entered the spu page fault handler
with a mutex for the spu context held. This has multiple
bad side-effects:
- it becomes impossible to suspend the context during
  page faults
- if an spu program attempts to access its own mmio
  areas through DMA, we get an immediate livelock when
  the nopage function tries to acquire the same mutex

This patch makes the page fault logic operate on a
struct spu_context instead of a struct spu, and moves it
from spu_base.c to a new file fault.c inside of spufs.

We now also need to copy the dar and dsisr contents
of the last fault into the saved context to have it
accessible in case we schedule out the context before
activating the page fault handler.

7ec18ab923 [POWERPC] spufs: streamline locking for isolated spu setup
For quite a while now spu state is protected by a simple mutex instead
of the old rw_semaphore, and this means we can simplify the locking
around spu_setup_isolated a lot.

Instead of doing an spu_release before entering spu_setup_isolated and
then calling the complicated spu_acquire_exclusive we can now simply
enter the function locked an in guaranteed runnable state, so that the
only bit of spu_acquire_exclusive that's left is the call to
spu_unmap_mappings.

Similarly there's no more need to unlock and reacquire the state_mutex
when spu_setup_isolated is done, but we can always return with the
lock held and only drop it in spu_run_init in the failure case.

94b2a4393c [POWERPC] Fix spu SLB invalidations
The SPU code doesn't properly invalidate SPUs SLBs when necessary,
for example when changing a segment size from the hugetlbfs code. In
addition, it saves and restores the SLB content on context switches
which makes it harder to properly handle those invalidations.

This patch removes the saving & restoring for now, something more
efficient might be found later on. It also adds a spu_flush_all_slbs(mm)
that can be used by the core mm code to flush the SLBs of all SPEs that
are running a given mm at the time of the flush.

In order to do that, it adds a spinlock to the list of all SPEs and move
some bits & pieces from spufs to spu_base.c

2eb1b12049 [POWERPC] spu sched: static timeslicing for SCHED_RR contexts
For SCHED_RR tasks we can do some really trivial timeslicing.  Basically
we fire up a time for every scheduler tick that searches for a higher
or same priority thread that is on the runqueue and if there is one
context switches to it.  Because we can't lock spus from timer context
we actually run this from a delayed runqueue instead of a timer.

A nice optimization would be to skip the actual priority bitmap search
when there are less contexts than physical spus available.  To implement
this I need a so far unpublished patch from Andre, and it will be added
after we have that patch in.

Note that right now we only do the time slicing for SCHED_RR tasks.
The code would work for SCHED_OTHER tasks aswell, but their prio
value is defered from the one the PPU thread has at time of spu_run,
and using this for spu scheduling decisions would make the code very
unfair.  SCHED_OTHER support will be enabled once we the spu scheduler
knows how to calculcate cpu_context.prio (very soon)

 - spu_free and spu_prio_wakeup are merged into a single spu_reschedule

 - various functionality is split out into small helpers, and kerneldoc
   comments are added in various places to document what's going on.
 - spu_activate is rewritten into a tight loop by removing test for

17e0e27020 [POWERPC] spufs: Fix bitrot of the SPU mmap facility
It looks like we've had some serious bitrot there mostly due to tracking
of address_space's of mmap'ed files getting out of sync with the actual
mmap code. The mfc, mss and psmap were not tracked properly and thus
not invalidated on context switches (oops !)

I also removed the various file->f_mapping = inode->i_mapping;
assignments that were done in the other open() routines since that
is already done for us by __dentry_open.

One improvement we might want to do later is to assign the various
ctx-> fields at mmap time instead of file open/close time so that we
don't call unmap_mapping_range() on thing that have not been mmap'ed

Finally, I added some smp_wmb's after assigning the ctx-> fields to make
sure they are visible to other CPUs. I don't think this is really
necessary as I suspect locking in the fs layer will make that happen
anyway but better safe than sorry.

78bde53e35 [POWERPC] spufs: remove need for struct page for SPEs
This patch removes the need for struct page for SPE local store
and registers from spufs. It also makes the locking much more
obvious and no longer relying on the truncate logic black magic
for protecting against races between unmap_mapping_range() and
new pages faulted in. It does so by switching to a nopfn() handler
and using the new vm_insert_pfn() to setup the PTEs itself while
holding a lock on the SPE.

The nice thing is that this patch actually removes a lot more code
than it adds :-)

754661f143 [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 1
Many struct inode_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.
