* [PATCH] hotplug CPU: clean up hotcpu_notifier() useIngo Molnar2006-12-074-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was lots of #ifdef noise in the kernel due to hotcpu_notifier(fn, prio) not correctly marking 'fn' as used in the !HOTPLUG_CPU case, and thus generating compiler warnings of unused symbols, hence forcing people to add #ifdefs. the compiler can skip truly unused functions just fine: text data bss dec hex filename 1624412 728710 3674856 6027978 5bfaca vmlinux.before 1624412 728710 3674856 6027978 5bfaca vmlinux.after [akpm@osdl.org: topology.c fix] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] kprobes: enable booster on the preemptible kernelMasami Hiramatsu2006-12-071-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are unregistering a kprobe-booster, we can't release its instruction buffer immediately on the preemptive kernel, because some processes might be preempted on the buffer. The freeze_processes() and thaw_processes() functions can clean most of processes up from the buffer. There are still some non-frozen threads who have the PF_NOFREEZE flag. If those threads are sleeping (not preempted) at the known place outside the buffer, we can ensure safety of freeing. However, the processing of this check routine takes a long time. So, this patch introduces the garbage collection mechanism of insn_slot. It also introduces the "dirty" flag to free_insn_slot because of efficiency. The "clean" instruction slots (dirty flag is cleared) are released immediately. But the "dirty" slots which are used by boosted kprobes, are marked as garbages. collect_garbage_slots() will be invoked to release "dirty" slots if there are more than INSNS_PER_PAGE garbage slots or if there are no unused slots.

* [PATCH] shared page table for hugetlb pageChen, Kenneth W2006-12-071-1/+111
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken. This set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only. The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of independent processes sharing large shared memory segments. In the normal page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite significant. For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss. With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application gets much higher cache hit ratio. One other effect is that cache hit ratio with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this helps to reduce tlb miss latency. These two effects contribute to higher application performance.

At the heart of this is the PCI SFF magic which says that compatibility mode PCI IDE controllers use ISA IRQ routing and hard coded addresses not the BAR values. The old quirks variously clears them, sets them, adjusts them and then IDE ignores the result. In order to drive all this garbage out and to do it portably we need to handle the SFF rules directly and properly. Because we know the device BAR 0-3 are not used in compatibility mode we load them with the values that are implied (and indeed which many controllers actually thoughtfully put there in this mode anyway). This removes special cases in the IDE layer and libata which now knows that bar 0/1/2/3 always contain the correct address. It means our resource allocation map is accurate from boot, not "mostly accurate" after ide is loaded, and it shoots lots of code. There is also lots more code and magic constant knowledge to shoot once this is in and settled. Been in my test tree for a while both with drivers/ide and with libata.

* [PATCH] Use delayed disable mode of ioapic edge triggered interruptsEric W. Biederman2006-11-151-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Komuro reports that ISA interrupts do not work after a disable_irq(), causing some PCMCIA drivers to not work, with messages like eth0: Asix AX88190: io 0x300, irq 3, hw_addr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx eth0: found link beat eth0: autonegotiation complete: 100baseT-FD selected eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! ... Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> said: "Now, edge-triggered interrupts are a _lot_ harder to mask, because the Intel APIC is an unbelievable piece of sh*t, and has the edge-detect logic _before_ the mask logic, so if a edge happens _while_ the device is masked, you'll never ever see the edge ever again (unmasking will not cause a new edge, so you simply lost the interrupt). So when you "mask" an edge-triggered IRQ, you can't really mask it at all, because if you did that, you'd lose it forever if the IRQ comes in while you masked it. Instead, we're supposed to leave it active, and set a flag, and IF the IRQ comes in, we just remember it, and mask it at that point instead, and then on unmasking, we have to replay it by sending a self-IPI."

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This refactoring actually optimizes the code a little by caching the value that we think the device is programmed with instead of reading it back from the hardware. Which simplifies the code a little and should speed things up a bit. This patch introduces the concept of a ht_irq_msg and modifies the architecture read/write routines to update this code. There is a minor consistency fix here as well as x86_64 forgot to initialize the htirq as masked. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [PATCH] kretprobe: fix kretprobe-booster to save regs and set statusMasami Hiramatsu2006-11-091-7/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two bugs in the kretprobe-booster. 1) It doesn't make room for gs registers. 2) It doesn't change status of the current kprobe. This status will effect the fault handling. This patch fixes these bugs and, additionally, saves skipped registers for compatibility with the original kretprobe.

* [PATCH] i386: Force data segment to be 4K alignedVivek Goyal2006-11-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | o Currently there is no specific alignment restriction in linker script and in some cases it can be placed non 4K aligned addresses. This fails kexec which checks that segment to be loaded is page aligned. o I guess, it does not harm data segment to be 4K aligned.

* [PATCH] Regression in 2.6.19-rc microcode driverArjan van de Ven2006-11-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the microcode driver is built in (rather than module) there are some, ehm, interesting effects happening due to the new "call out to userspace" behavior that is introduced.. and which runs too early. The result is a boot hang; which is really nasty. The patch below is a minimally safe patch to fix this regression for 2.6.19 by just not requesting actual microcode updates during early boot. (That is a good idea in general anyway) The "real" fix is a lot more complex given the entire cpu hotplug scenario (during cpu hotplug you normally need to load the microcode as well); but the interactions for that are just really messy at this point; this fix at least makes it work and avoids a full detangle of hotplug.

| | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit de09bddb9d6f96785be470c832b881e6d72d589f. It tried to reserve the MMCONFIG mmio memory ranges, but since the MMCONFIG information is broken and often bogus (which is why we don't dare use it most of the time _anyway_), it does more harm than good.

* i386: write IO APIC irq routing entries in correct orderLinus Torvalds2006-11-011-3/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | Since the "mask" bit is in the low word, when we write a new entry, we need to write the high word first, before we potentially unmask it. The exception is when we actually want to mask the interrupt, in which case we want to write the low word first to make sure that the high word doesn't change while the interrupt routing is still active.

Move the accessor function (that were only used by io_apic.c) out of a header file, and use proper memory-mapped accesses rather than making up our own "volatile" pointers.
