* [PATCH] i386: fix hpet for systems that don't support legacy replacementjohn stultz2005-05-015-27/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the i386 HPET code assumes the entire HPET implementation from the spec is present. This breaks on boxes that do not implement the optional legacy timer replacement functionality portion of the spec. This patch, which is very similar to my x86-64 patch for the same issue, fixes the problem allowing i386 systems that cannot use the HPET for the timer interrupt and RTC to still use the HPET as a time source. I've tested this patch on a system systems without HPET, with HPET but without legacy timer replacement, as well as HPET with legacy timer replacement.

* [PATCH] check nmi watchdog is brokenJack F Vogel2005-05-018-17/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A bug against an xSeries system showed up recently noting that the check_nmi_watchdog() test was failing. I have been investigating it and discovered in both i386 and x86_64 the recent change to the routine to use the cpu_callin_map has uncovered a problem. Prior to that change, on an SMP box, the test was trivally passing because all cpu's were found to not yet be online, but now with the callin_map they are discovered, it goes on to test the counter and they have not yet begun to increment, so it announces a CPU is stuck and bails out. On all the systems I have access to test, the announcement of failure is also bougs... by the time you can login and check /proc/interrupts, the NMI count is happily incrementing on all CPUs. Its just that the test is being done too early. I have tried moving the call to the test around a bit, and it was always too early. I finally hit on this proposed solution, it delays the routine via a late_initcall(), seems like the right solution to me.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new i386/x86_64 assemblers no longer accept instructions for moving between a segment register and a 32bit memory location, i.e., movl (%eax),%ds movl %ds,(%eax) To generate instructions for moving between a segment register and a 16bit memory location without the 16bit operand size prefix, 0x66, mov (%eax),%ds mov %ds,(%eax) should be used. It will work with both new and old assemblers. The assembler starting from 2.16.90.0.1 will also support movw (%eax),%ds movw %ds,(%eax) without the 0x66 prefix. I am enclosing patches for 2.4 and 2.6 kernels here. The resulting kernel binaries should be unchanged as before, with old and new assemblers, if gcc never generates memory access for unsigned gsindex; asm volatile("movl %%gs,%0" : "=g" (gsindex)); If gcc does generate memory access for the code above, the upper bits in gsindex are undefined and the new assembler doesn't allow it.

* [PATCH] ppc64: reverse prediction on spinlock busy loop codeJake Moilanen2005-05-011-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On our raw spinlocks, we currently have an attempt at the lock, and if we do not get it we enter a spin loop. This spinloop will likely continue for awhile, and we pridict likely. Shouldn't we predict that we will get out of the loop so our next instructions are already prefetched. Even when we miss because the lock is still held, it won't matter since we are waiting anyways. I did a couple quick benchmarks, but the results are inconclusive. 16-way 690 running specjbb with original code # ./specjbb 3000 16 1 1 19 30 120 ... Valid run, Score is 59282 16-way 690 running specjbb with unlikely code # ./specjbb 3000 16 1 1 19 30 120 ...

Valid run, Score is 20803 Anton said: Mispredicting the spinlock busy loop also means we slow down the rate at which we do the loads which can be good for heavily contended locks. Note: There are some gcc issues with our default build and branch prediction, but a CONFIG_POWER4_ONLY build should emit them correctly. I'm working with Alan Modra on it now.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There were a few issues with the ppc64 noexec support: The 64bit ABI has a non executable stack by default. At the moment 64bit apps require a PT_GNU_STACK section in order to have a non executable stack. Disable the read implies exec workaround on the 64bit ABI. The 64bit toolchain has never had problems with incorrect mmap permissions (the 32bit has, thats why we need to retain the workaround). With these fixes as well as a gcc fix from Alan Modra (that was recently committed) 64bit apps work as expected.

* [PATCH] PPC64: Remove hot busy-wait loop in __hash_pageOlof Johansson2005-05-011-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that our current __hash_page code will do a very hot busy-wait loop waiting on _PAGE_BUSY to be cleared. It even does ldarx/stdcx in the loop, which will bounce reservations around like crazy if there's more than one CPU spinning on the same PTE (or even another PTE in the same reservation granule). The end result is that each fault takes longer when there's contention, which in turn increases the chance of another thread hitting the same fault and also piling up. Not pretty. There's two options here: 1. Do an out-of-line busy loop a'la spinlocks with just loads (no reserves) 2. Just bail and refault if needed. (2) makes sense here: If the PTE is busy, chances are it's in flux anyway and the other code path making a change might just be ready to hash it. This fixes a stampede seen on a large-ish system where a multithreaded HPC app faults in the same text pages on several cpus at the same time.

* [PATCH] ppc64: tell firmware about kernel capabilitiesPaul Mackerras2005-05-012-10/+157
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | On pSeries systems, according to the platform architecture specs, we are supposed to be supplying a structure to firmware that tells firmware about our capabilities, such as which version of the data structures that describe available memory we are expecting to see. The way we end up having to supply this data structure is a bit gross, since it was designed for AIX and doesn't suit us very well.

* [PATCH] ppc64: Fix irq parsing on powermacPaul Mackerras2005-05-011-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I tried Ben's patches to the powermac sound driver on my G5, I found that it was taking enormous numbers of sound DMA transmit interrupts. This turned out to be because it was incorrectly configured as level-sensitive instead of edge-sensitive, which in turn was because the code that parses the interrupt tree that Open Firmware gives us was incorrectly assigning another device the same irq number as the sound DMA transmit interrupt (i.e. 1). This patch fixes the problem, in a somewhat quick and dirty way for now, but one which will work for all the machines we currently run on. Ultimately Ben and I want to do something more general and robust, but this should go in for 2.6.12.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch from Roland adds a PT_NOTE section to both 32 and 64 bits vDSOs to expose the kernel version to glibc, thus avoiding a uname syscall on every launch. This is equivalent to the patches Roland posted already for x86 and x86-64. Note: the 64 bits .note is actually using the 32 bits format. This is normal. The ELF spec specifies a different format for 64 bits .note, but for some reason, this was never properly implemented, the core dumps for example are all using 32 bits format .note, and binutils cannot even read a 64 bits format .note. Talking to our toolchain folks, they think we'd rather stick to 32 bits format .note everywhere and get the spec fixed some day ...

The master switch is correctly saved and restored, but somehow tumbler_put_master_volume() gets called just after tumbler_set_master_volume() and sets mix->master_vol[*] to 0. So, on resuming, the master switch is reenabled, but the volume is set to 0. Here's a patch that also saves and restores master_vol.

* [PATCH] SELinux: add finer grained permissions to Netlink audit processingJames Morris2005-05-013-7/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides finer grained permissions for the audit family of Netlink sockets under SELinux. 1. We need a way to differentiate between privileged and unprivileged reads of kernel data maintained by the audit subsystem. The AUDIT_GET operation is unprivileged: it returns the current status of the audit subsystem (e.g. whether it's enabled etc.). The AUDIT_LIST operation however returns a list of the current audit ruleset, which is considered privileged by the audit folk. To deal with this, a new SELinux permission has been implemented and applied to the operation: nlmsg_readpriv, which can be allocated to appropriately privileged domains. Unprivileged domains would only be allocated nlmsg_read. 2. There is a requirement for certain domains to generate audit events from userspace. These events need to be collected by the kernel, collated and transmitted sequentially back to the audit daemon. An example is user level login, an auditable event under CAPP, where login-related domains generate AUDIT_USER messages via PAM which are relayed back to auditd via the kernel. To prevent handing out nlmsg_write permissions to such domains, a new permission has been added, nlmsg_relay, which is intended for this type of purpose: data is passed via the kernel back to userspace but no privileged information is written to the kernel. Also, AUDIT_LOGIN messages are now valid only for kernel->user messaging, so this value has been removed from the SELinux nlmsgtab (which is only used to check user->kernel messages).

* [PATCH] add kmalloc_node, inline cleanupManfred Spraul2005-05-012-22/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch makes the following function calls available to allocate memory on a specific node without changing the basic operation of the slab allocator: kmem_cache_alloc_node(kmem_cache_t *cachep, unsigned int flags, int node); kmalloc_node(size_t size, unsigned int flags, int node); in a similar way to the existing node-blind functions: kmem_cache_alloc(kmem_cache_t *cachep, unsigned int flags); kmalloc(size, flags); kmem_cache_alloc_node was changed to pass flags and the node information through the existing layers of the slab allocator (which lead to some minor rearrangements). The functions at the lowest layer (kmem_getpages, cache_grow) are already node aware. Also __alloc_percpu can call kmalloc_node now.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a patch for counting the number of pages for bounce buffers. It's shown in /proc/vmstat. Currently, the number of bounce pages are not counted anywhere. So, if there are many bounce pages, it seems that there are leaked pages. And it's difficult for a user to imagine the usage of bounce pages. So, it's meaningful to show # of bouce pages.

* [PATCH] mempool: simplify allocNick Piggin2005-05-011-21/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mempool is pretty clever. Looks too clever for its own good :) It shouldn't really know so much about page reclaim internals. - don't guess about what effective page reclaim might involve. - don't randomly flush out all dirty data if some unlikely thing happens (alloc returns NULL). page reclaim can (sort of :P) handle it. I think the main motivation is trying to avoid pool->lock at all costs. However the first allocation is attempted with __GFP_WAIT cleared, so it will be 'can_try_harder' if it hits the page allocator. So if allocation still fails, then we can probably afford to hit the pool->lock - and what's the alternative? Try page reclaim and hit zone->lru_lock? A nice upshot is that we don't need to do any fancy memory barriers or do (intentionally) racy access to pool-> fields outside the lock.

* [PATCH] mempool: NOMEMALLOC and NORETRYNick Piggin2005-05-013-12/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mempools have 2 problems. The first is that mempool_alloc can possibly get stuck in __alloc_pages when they should opt to fail, and take an element from their reserved pool. The second is that it will happily eat emergency PF_MEMALLOC reserves instead of going to their reserved pools. Fix the first by passing __GFP_NORETRY in the allocation calls in mempool_alloc. Fix the second by introducing a __GFP_MEMPOOL flag which directs the page allocator not to allocate from the reserve pool.
