<id>urn:sha1:90341cd8e0a9c2ec190a0cb2d9c3bc89a25eef6d</id>
<content type='text'>
request_irq() is preferred over setup_irq(). Invocations of setup_irq()
occur after memory allocators are ready.

Per tglx[1], setup_irq() existed in olden days when allocators were not
ready by the time early interrupts were initialized.

Hence replace setup_irq() by request_irq().

Changing 'ia64_native_register_percpu_irq' decleration to include
'irq_handler_t' as an argument type in arch/ia64/include/asm/hw_irq.h
was causing build error - 'unknown type name 'irq_handler_t''

This was due to below header file sequence,
+ include/interrupt.h
 + include/hardirq.h
  + asm/hardirq.h
   + include/irq.h
    + asm/hw_irq.h
       [ 'ia64_native_register_percpu_irq' declared w/ 'irq_handler_t']
 [ 'irq_handler_t' typedef'ed here in 'include/interrupt.h']

'register_percpu_irq' defined to 'ia64_native_register_percpu_irq' is
the one invoked by the caller, not the latter directly. This was done
to support paravirtualization which was removed around 4 years back.
And 'register_percpu_irq' is invoked only inside 'arch/ia64/kernel'.

So 'register_percpu_irq' define to 'ia64_native_register_percpu_irq' is
removed, instead 'ia64_native_register_percpu_irq' is renamed to
'register_precpu_irq()' &amp; it is directly invoked. Also,
'register_precpu_irq()' is declared in a new header file 'irq.h' inside
'arch/ia64/kernel/', this header file is included by C files invoking
'register_percpu_irq()'.

<content type='text'>
Convert the ia64 perfmon filesystem to the new internal mount API as the old
one will be obsoleted and removed.  This allows greater flexibility in
communication of mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the
filesystem.

See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.

Once upon a time we used to set -&gt;d_name of e.g. pipefs root
so that d_path() on pipes would work.  These days it's
completely pointless - dentries of pipes are not even connected
to pipefs root.  However, mount_pseudo() had set the root
dentry name (passed as the second argument) and callers
kept inventing names to pass to it.  Including those that
didn't *have* any non-root dentries to start with...

All of that had been pointless for about 8 years now; it's
time to get rid of that cargo-culting...

<title>ia64: perfmon: don't mark buffer pages as PG_reserved</title>

<id>urn:sha1:731351d1bd3211101b4de8975540e273bcc99838</id>
<content type='text'>
In the old days, remap_pfn_range() required pages to be marked as
PG_reserved, so they would e.g.  never get swapped out.  This was
required for special mappings.  Nowadays, this is fully handled via the
VMA (VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP inside
remap_pfn_range() to be precise).  PG_reserved is no longer required but
only a relic from the past.

So only architecture specific MM handling might require it (e.g.  to
detect them as MMIO pages).  As there are no architecture specific
checks for PageReserved() apart from MCA handling in ia64code, this can
go.  Use simple vzalloc()/vfree() instead.

Note that before calling vzalloc(), size has already been aligned to
PAGE_SIZE, no need to align again.

<title>mm: make vm_area_alloc() initialize core fields</title>

Like vm_area_dup(), it initializes the anon_vma_chain head, and the
basic mm pointer.

The rest of the fields end up being different for different users,
although the plan is to also initialize the 'vm_ops' field to a dummy
entry.

<title>mm: use helper functions for allocating and freeing vm_area structs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3928d4f5ee37cdc523894f6e549e6aae521d8980</id>
<content type='text'>
The vm_area_struct is one of the most fundamental memory management
objects, but the management of it is entirely open-coded evertwhere,
ranging from allocation and freeing (using kmem_cache_[z]alloc and
kmem_cache_free) to initializing all the fields.

We want to unify this in order to end up having some unified
initialization of the vmas, and the first step to this is to at least
have basic allocation functions.

Right now those functions are literally just wrappers around the
kmem_cache_*() calls.  This is a purely mechanical conversion:

    # new vma:
    kmem_cache_zalloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -&gt; vm_area_alloc()

    # copy old vma
    kmem_cache_alloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -&gt; vm_area_dup(old)

    # free vma
    kmem_cache_free(vm_area_cachep, vma) -&gt; vm_area_free(vma)

to the point where the old vma passed in to the vm_area_dup() function
isn't even used yet (because I've left all the old manual initialization
alone).
