* Make do_execve() take a const filename pointerDavid Howells2010-08-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles correctly on ARM: arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel(). do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as const should be fine. Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match. This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is mandatory for 64-bit processes, and doing it also for 32-bit processes saves a conditional in the compat case. This fixes the glibc/nptl/tst-stdio1 test case, as well as many others, on 64-bit. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* debug lockups: Improve lockup detection, fix generic arch fallbackIngo Molnar2009-08-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Andrew noted, my previous patch ("debug lockups: Improve lockup detection") broke/removed SysRq-L support from architecture that do not provide a __trigger_all_cpu_backtrace implementation. Restore a fallback path and clean up the SysRq-L machinery a bit: - Rename the arch method to arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() - Simplify the define - Document the method a bit - in the hope of more architectures adding support for it. [ The patch touches Sparc code for the rename. ] Cc: Paul E.

* sparc64: On non-Niagara, need to touch NMI watchdog in NOHZ mode.David S. Miller2009-02-021-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we're idling in NOHZ mode, timer interrupts are not running. Evidence of processing timer interrupts is what the NMI watchdog uses to determine if the CPU is stuck. On Niagara, we'll yield the cpu. This will make the cpu, at worst, hang out in the hypervisor until an interrupt arrives. This will prevent the NMI watchdog timer from firing. However on non-Niagara we just loop executing instructions which will cause the NMI watchdog to keep firing. It won't see timer interrupts happening so it will think the cpu is stuck. Fix this by touching the NMI watchdog in the cpu idle loop on non-Niagara machines. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* sparc,sparc64: unify kernel/Sam Ravnborg2008-12-041-0/+812
o Move all files from sparc64/kernel/ to sparc/kernel - rename as appropriate o Update sparc/Makefile to the changes o Update sparc/kernel/Makefile to include the sparc64 files NOTE: This commit changes link order on sparc64! Link order had to change for either of sparc32 and sparc64. And assuming sparc64 see more testing than sparc32 change link order on sparc64 where issues will be caught faster.
