* KVM: LAPIC: ignore pending timers if LVTT is disabledMarcelo Tosatti2008-05-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Only use the APIC pending timers count to break out of HLT emulation if the timer vector is enabled. Certain configurations of Windows simply mask out the vector without disabling the timer. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's still a race in kvm_vcpu_block(), if a wake_up_interruptible() call happens before the task state is set to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE: CPU0 CPU1 kvm_vcpu_block add_wait_queue kvm_cpu_has_interrupt = 0 set interrupt if (waitqueue_active()) wake_up_interruptible() kvm_cpu_has_pending_timer kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable signal_pending set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) schedule() Can be fixed by using prepare_to_wait() which sets the task state before testing for the wait condition.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The GVMM module is position independent since it is relocated to the guest address space. Commit ea696f9cf ("ia64 kvm fixes for O=... builds") broke this by linking GVMM with non-PIC objects. Fix by creating two files: memset.S and memcpy.S which just include the files under arch/ia64/lib/{memset.S, memcpy.S} respectively.

This fixes it by initializing 'ret' to 1, causing the code to fall through to the __copy_tofrom_user call for sizes other than 1, 2, 4 or 8.

| * [POWERPC] vmemmap fixes to use smaller pagesBenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-05-156-16/+65
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes vmemmap to use a different region (region 0xf) of the address space, and to configure the page size of that region dynamically at boot. The problem with the current approach of always using 16M pages is that it's not well suited to machines that have small amounts of memory such as small partitions on pseries, or PS3's. In fact, on the PS3, failure to allocate the 16M page backing vmmemmap tends to prevent hotplugging the HV's "additional" memory, thus limiting the available memory even more, from my experience down to something like 80M total, which makes it really not very useable. The logic used by my match to choose the vmemmap page size is: - If 16M pages are available and there's 1G or more RAM at boot, use that size. - Else if 64K pages are available, use that - Else use 4K pages I've tested on a POWER6 (16M pages) and on an iSeries POWER3 (4K pages) and it seems to work fine. Note that I intend to change the way we organize the kernel regions & SLBs so the actual region will change from 0xf back to something else at one point, as I simplify the SLB miss handler, but that will be for a later patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As of current mainline tree, TULIP driver is unusable on MPC8610HPCD boards. There is a patch[1] floating around (and also included in the BSP), which tries to heal the situation, though the ethernet is still unusable. Practically it takes ages to mount NFS filesystem: VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem). Freeing unused kernel memory: 180k init nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying nfs: server 10.0.0.2 OK nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying nfs: server 10.0.0.2 OK nfs: server 10.0.0.2 not responding, still trying So, instead of trying to add uli526x functionality into TULIP driver (which is already bloated enough), I fixed existing ULI526X driver and now it works perfectly well here.

| * | ext4: mballoc fix mb_normalize_request algorithm for 1KB block size filesystemsValerie Clement2008-05-141-10/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case of inode preallocation, the number of blocks to allocate depends on the file size and it is calculated in ext4_mb_normalize_request(). Each group in the filesystem is then checked to find one that can be used for allocation; this is done in ext4_mb_good_group(). When a file bigger than 4MB is created, the requested number of blocks to preallocate, calculated by ext4_mb_normalize_request is 4096. However for a filesystem with 1KB block size, the maximum size of the block buddies used by the multiblock allocator is 2048, so none of groups in the filesystem satisfies the search criteria in ext4_mb_good_group(). Scanning all the filesystem groups impacts performance. This was demonstrated by using a freshly created, 70GB, 1k block filesystem, with caches dropped write before the test via /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches, and with the filesystem mounted with nodelalloc and nodealloc,nomballoc. The time to write an 8 megabyte file using "dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test/fo bs=8k count=1k conv=fsync" took 35.5091 seconds (236kB/s) with nodellaloc, and 0.233754 seconds (35.9 MB/s) with the nodelloc,nomballoc options. With a 1TB partition, it took several minutes to write 8MB! This patch modifies the algorithm in ext4_mb_normalize_group_request to calculate the number of blocks to allocate by taking into account the maximum size of free blocks chunks handled by the multiblock allocator. It has also been tested for filesystems with 2KB and 4KB block sizes to ensure that those cases don't regress.

Then it tried to load the kernel module however it failed always and it used the default execution domain PER_LINUX instead. Requesting kernel modules is very expensive. It caused the performance issue. (see the function lookup_exec_domain in kernel/exec_domain.c).

| * | | [IA64] Properly unregister legacy interruptsPrarit Bhargava2008-05-151-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | acpi_unregister_gsi() should "undo" what acpi_register_gsi() does. On systems that have legacy interrupts, acpi_unregister_gsi erroneously calls iosapci_unregister_intr() which is wrong to do and causes a loud warning. acpi_unregister_gsi() should just return in these cases.

| * | | [IA64] Don't reserve crashkernel memory > 4 GBBernhard Walle2008-05-151-0/+29

However, in most cases, the kernel needs some memory below that limit that is DMA-capable. So in this machine configuration, the crashkernel will be reserved above 4 GB. For machines that use SWIOTLB implementation because they lack an I/O MMU the low memory is required by the SWIOTLB implementation. In that case, it doesn't make sense to reserve the crashkernel at all because it's unusable for kdump. A special case is the "hpzx1" machine vector. In theory, it has a I/O MMU, so it can be booted above 4 GB. However, in the kdump case that is not possible because of changeset 51b58e3e26ebfb8cd56825c4b396ed251f51dec9: On HP zx1 machines, the 'machvec=dig' parameter is needed for the kdump kernel to avoid problems with the HP sba iommu. The problem is that during the boot of the kdump kernel, the iommu is re-initialized, so in-flight DMA from improperly shutdown drivers causes an IOTLB miss which leads to an MCA. With kdump, the idea is to get into the kdump kernel with as little code as we can, so shutting down drivers properly is not an option. The workaround is to add 'machvec=dig' to the kdump kernel boot parameters. This makes the kdump kernel avoid using the sba iommu altogether, leaving the IOTLB intact. Any ongoing DMA falls harmlessly outside the kdump kernel. After the kdump kernel reboots, all devices will have been shutdown properly and DMA stopped. This patch pushes that functionality into the sba iommu initialization code, so that users won't have to find the obscure documentation telling them about 'machvec=dig'. This means that also for hpzx1 it's not possible to boot when all memory is above the 4 GB limit. So the only machine vectors that can handle this case are "sn2" and "uv".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both smp_call_function() and __smp_call_function_map() access cpu_online_map. Both functions run with preemption disabled which protects for cpus going offline. However new cpus can be added and therefore the cpu_online_map can change unexpectedly. So use the call_lock to protect against changes to the cpu_online_map in start_secondary() and all smp_call_* functions.
