[C/R ARM][PATCH 1/3] ARM: Rudimentary syscall interfaces

2010-03-22T01:10:02Z

This small commit introduces a global state of system calls for ARM
making it possible for a debugger or checkpointing to gain information
about another process' state with respect to system calls.
The patch is based on this proposal from Roland McGrath:

Re: [PATCH] Cosmetic:Partially remove deprecated __initcall() and change to

2010-03-22T01:10:02Z

agree..
I should of searched the source tree for something
that says deprecated and so forth before doing anything(the
checkpatch.pl was something I noticed down the line but doesn't say
deprecated(say's explicitly).
In any case I'll leave this to you guys to decide.
The patch is in cyberspace now, so if/when this ever

[C/R ARM][PATCH 3/3] c/r: ARM implementation of checkpoint/restart

2010-03-22T01:10:02Z

Implements architecture specific requirements for checkpoint/restart on
ARM. The changes touch almost only c/r related code. Most of the work is
done in arch/arm/checkpoint.c, which implements checkpointing of the CPU
and necessary fields on the thread_info struct.
The ISA version (given by __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__) is checkpointed and verified

[C/R ARM][PATCH 0/3] Linux Checkpoint-Restart - ARM port

2010-03-22T01:10:02Z

Following there will be two preparatory patches for an ARM port of the
checkpoint-restart code and finally a third patch implementing the
architecture-specific parts of c/r.
The preparatory patches consist of a systrace implementation for ARM
based on a previous patch from Roland McGrath and an eclone implementation

[C/R ARM][PATCH 2/3] ARM: Add the eclone system call

2010-03-22T01:10:01Z

In addition to doing everything that clone() system call does, the
eclone() system call:
- allows additional clone flags (31 of 32 bits in the flags
parameter to clone() are in use)
- allows user to specify a pid for the child process in its
active and ancestor pid namespaces.
Eclone is needed for restarting a process from a checkpoint. See more

Re: [PATCH] fix PHY polling system blocking

2010-03-22T01:00:02Z

Careful, in my experience many PHYs that do have interrupt
support have buggy implementations to the point where the
interrupt support cannot be used at all.
Typically the problem is that events aren't reported reliably.
So I just wanted you to keep in mind that a chip having
interrupt support doesn't automatically mean it can be used.

Re: [PATCH] trace power_frequency events on the correct cpu (for Intel x86 CPUs)

2010-03-22T00:50:02Z

It's actually a major feature for timechart, and one of the key things I and a bunch of others
inside Intel use timechart for.

Re: [PATCH 06/12] genericirq: make irq_chip related function to take desc

2010-03-22T00:40:03Z

Thanks for doing all of this. The set of trouble spots in particular
looks like a useful list.

Re: [PATCH] Cosmetic:Partially remove deprecated __initcall() and change to

2010-03-22T00:40:02Z

Thanks. IMO there should be something in the kernel source tree
that says explicitly that __initcall is deprecated and should be
replaced by using <whatever should be used>. That's missing.

Re: [PATCH] irq: Start the transition of irq_chip methods taking a desc

2010-03-22T00:40:02Z

Depends on what you mean.
- If you are concerned about ABI changes, non exist.
- If the question is will the compiler generate the same instruction sequences,
I don't expect it will.
In particular the bug fixes to use unsigned int instead of int should affect
the tests used in the for_each_irq_desc. Of less avoid-ability is the change

Can you transfer your list to the following wiki page:

This thread is so large that I can't find your note that contained the

2.6.32 help needed with reverting APIC patches.

2010-03-22T00:30:02Z

Hello,
I'm investigating why my Nvidia MCP78S chipset needs noapic or acpi=noirq to protect USB OHCI against hanging at random time.
(both kernel parameters turns off APIC and fall back to PIC). Asrock K10N78FullHD-hSLI R3.0 mainboard.
The OHCI USB controller integrated in chipset is the only device which hangs in APIC mode.

I was on vacation, sorry. Got to it today. In short, the test patch fails.
Please see the dmesg with ACPI debugging in bugzilla as requested.
