      kbuild: don't enable DEBUG_INFO when building for COMPILE_TEST · 12b13835
      Linus Torvalds authored
      
      
      It really isn't very interesting to have DEBUG_INFO when doing compile
      coverage stuff (you wouldn't want to run the result anyway, that's kind
      of the whole point of COMPILE_TEST), and it currently makes the build
      take longer and use much more disk space for "all{yes,mod}config".
      
      There's somewhat active discussion about this still, and we might end up
      with some new config option for things like this (Andi points out that
      the silly X86_DECODER_SELFTEST option also slows down the normal
      coverage tests hugely), but I'm starting the ball rolling with this
      simple one-liner.
      
      DEBUG_INFO isn't that noticeable if you have tons of memory and a good
      IO subsystem, but it hurts you a lot if you don't - for very little
      upside for the common use.

       "The three major changes in this patchset is a implementation for

        parisc has been the only platform where we had EWOULDBLOCK != EAGAIN
        to keep HP-UX compatibility.  Since we will probably never implement
        full HP-UX support, we prefer to drop this compatibility to make it
        easier for us with Linux userspace programs which mostly never checked
        for both values.  We don't expect major fall-outs because of this
        change, and if we face some, we will simply rebuild the necessary
        applications in the debian archives"

      hpfs: optimize quad buffer loading · 1c0b8a7a
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      
      
      HPFS needs to load 4 consecutive 512-byte sectors when accessing the
      directory nodes or bitmaps.  We can't switch to 2048-byte block size
      because files are allocated in the units of 512-byte sectors.
      
      Previously, the driver would allocate a 2048-byte area using kmalloc,
      copy the data from four buffers to this area and eventually copy them
      back if they were modified.
      
      In the current implementation of the buffer cache, buffers are allocated
      in the pagecache.  That means that 4 consecutive 512-byte buffers are
      stored in consecutive areas in the kernel address space.  So, we don't
      need to allocate extra memory and copy the content of the buffers there.
      
      This patch optimizes the code to avoid copying the buffers.  It checks
      if the four buffers are stored in contiguous memory - if they are not,
      it falls back to allocating a 2048-byte area and copying data there.

      hpfs: remember free space · 2cbe5c76
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      
      
      Previously, hpfs scanned all bitmaps each time the user asked for free
      space using statfs.  This patch changes it so that hpfs scans the
      bitmaps only once, remembes the free space and on next invocation of
      statfs it returns the value instantly.
      
      New versions of wine are hammering on the statfs syscall very heavily,
      making some games unplayable when they're stored on hpfs, with load
      times in minutes.
      
      This should be backported to the stable kernels because it fixes
      user-visible problem (excessive level load times in wine).

      Add support for the flexible mmap memory layout (as described in
      http://lwn.net/Articles/91829
      
      ). This is especially very interesting on
      parisc since we currently only support 32bit userspace (even with a
      64bit Linux kernel).

      Guy Martin authored
      
      
      On Linux, only parisc uses a different value for EWOULDBLOCK which
      causes a lot of troubles for applications not checking for both values.
      Since the hpux compat is long dead, make EWOULDBLOCK behave the same as
      all other architectures.

      The stat.h header file is exported to userspace. Some userspace
      applications failed to compile due to missing/unknown types, so we
      better convert it to use native types only (like it's done on other
      architectures too).
