Spare Virtual: Virtual Memmap support for SPARSEMEM
SPARSEMEM is a pretty nice framework that unifies quite a bit of
code over all the arches. It would be great if it could be the default
so that we can get rid of various forms of DISCONTIG and other variations
on memory maps. So far what has hind
x86_64 make SPARSE_VIRTUAL the default
x86_64 is using 2M page table entries to map its 1-1 kernel space.
We implement the virtual memmap also using 2M page table entries.
So there is no difference at all to FLATMEM. Both schemes require
a page table and a TLB.
Thus the SPARSEMEM becomes the most

We've had various reports of some legacy "probe the hardware" style platform
drivers having nasty problems with hotplug support.
The core issue is that those legacy drivers don't fully conform to the driver
model. They assume a role that should be the responsibility of infrastructure
code: creati
Make note of the legacy "probe-the-hardware" drivers, and some APIs that are
mostly unused except by such drivers. We probably can't escape having legacy
drivers for a while (e.g. old ISA drivers), but we can at least discourage
this style code for new drivers, and unless it's unavoidable.

This is an example about how to add eventfd support to the current KAIO code,
in order to enable KAIO to post readiness events to a pollable fd
(hence compatible with POSIX select/poll). The KAIO code simply signals
the eventfd fd when events are ready, and this triggers a POLLIN in the fd.

This patch introduces a new system call for timers events delivered
though file descriptors. This allows timer event to be used with
standard POSIX poll(2), select(2) and read(2). As a consequence of
supporting the Linux f_op->poll subsystem, they can be used with
epoll(2) too.
The system call is d

Hi,
This patch appeard on LMKL six days ago and there have not been any negative
comments since then, so I think I can try to make it official.

Yes just do not apply this patch. The first one disables SLUB on i386.

Fixup i386 arch for SLUB support
i386 arch code currently uses the page struct of slabs for various purposes.
This interferes with slub and so SLUB has been disabled for i386 by setting
ARCH_USES_SLAB_PAGE_STRUCT.
This patch removes the use of page sized slabs for maintaining pgds and pmds.
