include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32Z

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

inflate: refactor inflate malloc code

2008-07-25T17:53:28Z

Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot process and this is provided with a set of four functions: malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release. The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement free. This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena. This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying all the malloc/free implementations. The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses: - free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which allocations should be made - free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on the number of allocations, it just grows as much as needed The architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog() function call. This function will be called several times during the decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is still running. If an architecture provides such a call, then it must define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls arch_decomp_wdog(). Work initially done by Matt Mackall, updated to a recent version of the kernel and improved by me.

[PATCH] x86: deflate stack usage in lib/inflate.c

2007-05-02T17:27:15Z

inflate_fixed and huft_build together use around 2.7k of stack. When using 4k stacks, I saw stack overflows from interrupts arriving while unpacking the root initrd: do_IRQ: stack overflow: 384 [] show_trace_log_lvl+0x1a/0x30 [] show_trace+0x12/0x14 [] dump_stack+0x16/0x18 [] do_IRQ+0x6d/0xd9 [] xen_evtchn_do_upcall+0x6e/0xa2 [] xen_hypervisor_callback+0x25/0x2c [] xen_restore_fl+0x27/0x29 [] _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x4a/0x50 [] change_page_attr+0x577/0x584 [] kernel_map_pages+0x8d/0xb4 [] cache_alloc_refill+0x53f/0x632 [] __kmalloc+0xc1/0x10d [] malloc+0x10/0x12 [] huft_build+0x2a7/0x5fa [] inflate_fixed+0x91/0x136 [] unpack_to_rootfs+0x5f2/0x8c1 [] populate_rootfs+0x1e/0xe4 (This was under Xen, but there's no reason it couldn't happen on bare hardware.) This patch mallocs the local variables, thereby reducing the stack usage to sane levels. Also, up the heap size for the kernel decompressor to deal with the extra allocation.

[PATCH] alpha: bootp fixes

2004-10-24T05:20:55Z

- redefine "printk" as "srm_printk" for bootstrappers; - fix stack corruption problem with bootp/bootpz loaders and older SRM consoles.

[PATCH] double semicolon cleanup

2004-03-31T00:48:12Z

This cleans up a larger amount of superfluos ";;" statements in current Linux kernel sources by converting them to the regular single ";" statments. It seems to be a common problem that at the end of a line the semicolon key is producing an echo.

[ALPHA] Fix compressed bootp.

2004-03-08T05:23:07Z

From Jay.Estabrook@hp.com. The bootstrap decompressor uses some libraries built for the kernel, which include lib/lib.a and thus vsprintf.o, whose "vsnprintf" contains an unresolved reference to "printk". This is caused by Linus' changes to "vsnprintf" which will now issue a (printk) warning message under certain conditions.

[PATCH] tidy up lib/inflate.c error messages

2003-09-09T17:20:58Z

From: Andre McCurdy There is some inconsistency within lib/inflate.c and its users about whether the error message text or the error() function should provide the '\n'. This patch tries to make everyone consistent - by removing the newline from all message texts, and adding one to the only error() function which did not provide it (in init/do_mounts_rd.c).
