2011-06-23sched: Generalize sleep inside spinlock detectionFrederic Weisbecker
The sleeping inside spinlock detection is actually used for more general sleeping inside atomic sections debugging: preemption disabled, rcu read side critical sections, interrupts, interrupt disabled, etc... Change the name of the config and its help section to reflect its more general role. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

2005-09-21[PATCH] fixup Documentation/DocBook/kernel-hacking.tmplChristoph Hellwig
__FUNCTION__ is the prefered kernel idiom, __func__ is not supported by gcc 2.95 (we actually map __FUNCTION__ to __func__ for more recent compilers, but it should never be used directly) Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-09[PATCH] Update Documentation/DocBook/kernel-hacking.tmplRusty Russell
Update the hacking guide, before CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT goes in and it needs rewriting again. Changes include modernization of quotes, removal of most references to bottom halves (some mention required because we still use bh in places to mean softirq). It would be nice to have a discussion of sparse and various annotations. Please send patches straight to akpm.

2004-10-19[PATCH] #include <asm/bitops.h> -> #include <linux/bitops.h>Adrian Bunk
There's no reason to directly #include <asm/bitops.h> since it's available on all architectures and also included by #include <linux/bitops.h>. This patch changes #include <asm/bitops.h> to #include <linux/bitops.h>. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2004-09-07[PATCH] factor out common <asm/hardirq.h> codeChristoph Hellwig
Since the irq handling rework in 2.5 lots of code in the individual <asm/hardirq.h> files is the same. This patch moves that common code to <linux/hardirq.h>. The following differences existed: - alpha, m68k, m68knommu and v850 were missing the ~PREEMPT_ACTIVE masking in the CONFIG_PREEMPT case of in_atomic(). These architectures don't support CONFIG_PREEMPT else this would have been an easily-spottbale bug - S390 didn't provide synchronize_irq as it doesn't fit into their I/O model. They now get a spurious prototype/macro - ppc added a new preemptible() macro that is provided for all architectures now. Most drivers were using <linux/interrupt.h> as they should, but a few drivers and lots of architecture code has been updated to use <linux/hardirq.h> instead of <asm/hardirq.h> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2004-05-19[PATCH] don't mention MOD_INC_USE_COUNT/MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT in docsAndrew Morton
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> If we want new drivers to not use obsolete interfaces we're better off not mentioning it in the documentation.
2004-04-11[PATCH] Consistently use quotes for SGML attributesAndrew Morton
From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> From: Hans Ulrich Niedermann <linux-kernel@n-dimensional.de> doc patch: Consistently use quotes for SGML attributes This makes it possible to process the SGML files without SHORTTAG YES.
2003-09-23[PATCH] asm/softirq.h is deadAndrew Morton
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Still three arches keep an unused copy around and quite a few places refer to it in comments still. Two of the two arches also include it in their _ksyms.c file, but given that softirq.h only contains macros (which are in hardirq.c as well) that's just a leftover as well.
2003-03-22[PATCH] More syscalls-returning-longAndrew Morton
From: Robert Love <rml@tech9.net> Additional work to make syscalls return longs.
2003-02-19[PATCH] kill EXPORT_NO_SYMBOLSChristoph Hellwig
it's a noop in 2.5 now that the behvaiour of implicitly exporting all symbols is gone.

2002-04-21[PATCH] kernel-hacking.tmplRusty Russell
Mark Hymers <markh@linuxfromscratch.org>: Kernel tree patch; Documentation_DocBook_kernel-hacking.tmpl: Hi, Just a small thing I noticed when grepping through the kernel source: one of the templates in Documentation/DocBook has a typo (I think). I believe it should refer to MODULE_LICENSE instead of LICENCE. Please correct me if I'm wrong though. Mark (Included in 2.4)
