<id>647128f1536efacca7bedf189790d24b22f03cca</id>
<content type='text'>
Update UV MMRs in uv_mmrs.h for UV5 based on Verilog output from the
UV Hub hardware design files.  This is the next UV architecture with
a new class (UVY) being defined for 52 bit physical address masks.
Uses a bitmask for UV arch identification so a single test can cover
multiple versions.  Includes other adjustments to match the uv_mmrs.h
file to keep from encountering compile errors.  New UV5 functionality
is added in the patches that follow.

[ Fix W=1 build warnings. ]

<title>x86/cpu: Relocate sync_core() to sync_core.h</title>

<content type='text'>
Having sync_core() in processor.h is problematic since it is not possible
to check for hardware capabilities via the *cpu_has() family of macros.
The latter needs the definitions in processor.h.

It also looks more intuitive to relocate the function to sync_core.h.

This changeset does not make changes in functionality.

<title>mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already included</title>

<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.

The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once.  For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.

Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.

static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
        return (address &gt;&gt; PMD_SHIFT) &amp; (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}

static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
        return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}

These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.

For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.

These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.

This patch (of 12):

The linux/mm.h header includes &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt; to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g.  pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc().  So, there is no point to explicitly include &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;
in the files that include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;.

The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:

	for f in $(git grep -l "include &lt;linux/mm.h&gt;") ; do
		sed -i -e '/include &lt;asm\/pgtable.h&gt;/ d' $f
	done

<title>misc: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member</title>

<id>f490e8aea3f03497efcee81d28fd962d431663c4</id>
<content type='text'>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

<title>proc: convert everything to "struct proc_ops"</title>

The most notable change is DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE macro split in
seq_file.h.

Conversion rule is:

	llseek		=&gt; proc_lseek
	unlocked_ioctl	=&gt; proc_ioctl

	xxx		=&gt; proc_xxx

	delete ".owner = THIS_MODULE" line

Use seq_puts and simple string output and not seq_printf with formats
and individual strings to reduce overall object size.
