2009-09-22mm: replace various uses of num_physpages by totalram_pagesJan Beulich
Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount of) non-RAM pages. The amount of what actually is usable as storage should instead be used as a basis here. Some of the calculations (i.e. those not intending to use high memory) should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).

2009-09-21perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance EventsIngo Molnar
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

2009-09-19cyclades: close cleanupJiri Slaby
Use new tty helpers for close, which allows much code removal.

2009-09-19cyclades: add tty refcountingJiri Slaby
While this is not problem for Y card handlers (they are protected by card_lock), Z handlers and other functions may dereference NULL at any point after hangup/close. Even if (tty == NULL) was already performed in the handler. Note that it's not an issue for Y cards just for now. After switching to tty_port_close_* et al. this will be a problem. So add refcounting to them all. Also proc .show doesn't take a tty reference and it should (along with a ldisc one). While at it and changing prototypes (adding tty param), prepend cy_ to functions which don't have it yet.

2009-09-19tty-ldisc: get rid of tty_ldisc_try_get() helper functionLinus Torvalds
Now that the /proc/tty/ldiscs handling doesn't play games with 'struct ldisc' any more, the only remaining user of 'tty_ldisc_try_get()' is 'tty_ldisc_get()' (note the lack of 'try'). And we're actually much better off folding the logic directly into that file, since the 'try' part was always about trying to get the ldisc operations, not the ldisc itself: and making that explicit inside of 'tty_ldisc_get()' clarifies the whole semantics.

2009-09-19tty-ldisc: make /proc/tty/ldiscs use ldisc_ops instead of ldiscsLinus Torvalds
The /proc/tty/ldiscs file is totally and utterly un-interested in the "struct tty_ldisc" structures, and only cares about the underlying ldisc operations. So don't make it create a dummy 'struct ldisc' only to get a pointer to the operations, and then destroy it. Instead, we split up the function 'tty_ldisc_try_get()', and create a 'get_ldops()' helper that just looks up the ldisc operations based on the ldisc number. That makes the code simpler to read (smaller and more well-defined helper functions), and allows the /proc functions to avoid creating that useless dummy only to immediately free it again.
