* [PATCH] kill include/linux/platform.h, default_idle() cleanupAdrian Bunk2006-03-241-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | include/linux/platform.h contained nothing that was actually used except the default_idle() prototype, and is therefore removed by this patch. This patch does the following with the platform specific default_idle() functions on different architectures: - remove the unused function: - parisc - sparc64 - make the needlessly global function static: - arm - h8300 - m68k - m68knommu - s390 - v850 - x86_64 - add a prototype in asm/system.h: - cris - i386 - ia64 Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Acked-by: Patrick Mochel <mochel@digitalimplant.org> Acked-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] Move read_mostly definition to asm/cache.hKyle McMartin2006-03-231-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Seems like needless clutter having a bunch of #if defined(CONFIG_$ARCH) in include/linux/cache.h. Move the per architecture section definition to asm/cache.h, and keep the if-not-defined dummy case in linux/cache.h to catch architectures which don't implement the section. Verified that symbols still go in .data.read_mostly on parisc, and the compile doesn't break.

* [PATCH] i386 spinlocks: disable interrupts only if we enabled themChuck Ebbert2006-03-231-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | _raw_spin_lock_flags() is entered with interrupts disabled. If it cannot obtain a spinlock, it checks the flags that were passed and re-enables interrupts before spinning if that's how the flags are set. When the spinlock might be available, it disables interrupts (even if they are already disabled) before trying to get the lock. Change that so interrupts are only disabled if they have been enabled. This costs nine bytes of duplicated spinloop code.

* [PATCH] i386: actively synchronize vmalloc area when registering certain ↵Jan Beulich2006-03-232-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | callbacks Registering a callback handler through register_die_notifier() is obviously primarily intended for use by modules. However, the way these currently get called it is basically impossible for them to actually be used by modules, as there is, on non-PAE configurationes, a good chance (the larger the module, the better) for the system to crash as a result. This is because the callback gets invoked (a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and (b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen, since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs, potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences. Besides the modular aspect, similar problems would even arise for in- kernel consumers of the API if they touched ioremap()ed or vmalloc()ed memory inside their handlers.

* [PATCH] x86: early printk handling fixesStas Sergeev2006-03-231-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The history is that -mm kernels do not work for me for a few months already. The things started from crashing somewhere after starting init, and for the last month - no boot at all, just "Uncompressing... OK, booting kernel", and silence. Early console didn't work too. With the latest releases this degraded into an infinite stream of the "Unknown interrupt or fault" messages. So today my patience ran out and I started to think how can I collect at least some info for the bug-report. Attached is the patch that allows to gather some valueable debug info on the problem by making an early console more useable. I can't properly test the patch, as the kernel still doesn't boot, so I'll explain it in details in a hope someone else can justify the intrusive changes. arch_hooks.h: added prototypes for setup_early_printk() and early_printk(). setup.c: killed wrong setup_early_printk() prototype. Moved setup_early_printk() a bit earlier, as it was not "early enough" to cover the bug I was fighting with. early_printk.c: made it to start printing from the bottom of the screen, otherwise the messages interfere with the ones of the boot-loader, so you can't read them.

* [PATCH] i386: Add a temporary to make put_user more type safeEric W. Biederman2006-03-231-5/+7

But the code continued to build cleanly without errors. Introducing a temporary fixes this problem and at least with gcc-3.3.5 does not cause gcc any problems with optimizing out the temporary. gcc-4.x using SSA internally ought to be even better at optimizing out temporaries, so I don't expect a temporary to become a problem.

* [PATCH] x86: SMP alternativesGerd Hoffmann2006-03-239-124/+194
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement SMP alternatives, i.e. switching at runtime between different code versions for UP and SMP. The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP. The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug. With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number of CPUs goes up to 2. Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released afterwards. The changes in detail: * The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file, the SMP alternatives code is added there. * The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel: .smp_altinstructions like .altinstructions, also contains a list of alt_instr structs. .smp_altinstr_replacement like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to save original instruction before replaving it. .smp_locks list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed out on UP. The first two are used to replace more complex instruction sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores. It would be possible to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling them as special case the table sizes become much smaller. * The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they can be free if they are not needed. * Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.

* [PATCH] Enable mprotect on huge pagesZhang, Yanmin2006-03-221-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2.6.16-rc3 uses hugetlb on-demand paging, but it doesn_t support hugetlb mprotect. From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Remove a test from the mprotect() path which checks that the mprotect()ed range on a hugepage VMA is hugepage aligned (yes, really, the sense of is_aligned_hugepage_range() is the opposite of what you'd guess :-/). In fact, we don't need this test. If the given addresses match the beginning/end of a hugepage VMA they must already be suitably aligned. If they don't, then mprotect_fixup() will attempt to split the VMA. The very first test in split_vma() will check for a badly aligned address on a hugepage VMA and return -EINVAL if necessary. From: "Chen, Kenneth W" <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com> On i386 and x86-64, pte flag _PAGE_PSE collides with _PAGE_PROTNONE. The identify of hugetlb pte is lost when changing page protection via mprotect. A page fault occurs later will trigger a bug check in huge_pte_alloc(). The fix is to always make new pte a hugetlb pte and also to clean up legacy code where _PAGE_PRESENT is forced on in the pre-faulting day.

* [PATCH] i386: port ATI timer fix from x86_64 to i386 IIAndi Kleen2006-03-091-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ATI chipsets tend to generate double timer interrupts for the local APIC timer when both the 8254 and the IO-APIC timer pins are enabled. This is because they route it to both and the result is anded together and the CPU ends up processing it twice. This patch changes check_timer to disable the 8254 routing for interrupt 0. I think it would be safe on all chipsets actually (i tested it on a couple and it worked everywhere) and Windows seems to do it in a similar way, but to be conservative this patch only enables this mode on ATI (and adds options to enable/disable too) Ported over from a similar x86-64 change. I reused the ACPI earlyquirk infrastructure for the ATI bridge check, but tweaked it a bit to work even without ACPI. Inspired by a patch from Chuck Ebbert, but redone.

* [PATCH] x86: fix broken SMP boot sequenceJames Bottomley2006-02-241-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent GDT changes broke the SMP boot sequence if the booting CPU is numbered anything other than zero. There's also a subtle source of error in that the boot time CPU now uses cpu_gdt_table (which is actually the GDT for booting CPUs in head.S). This patch fixes both problems by making GDT descriptors themselves allocated from a per_cpu area and switching to them in cpu_init(), which now means that cpu_gdt_table is exclusively used for booting CPUs again.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, copy-on-write may change the physical address of a page even if the user requested that the page is pinned in memory (either by mlock or by get_user_pages). This happens if the process forks meanwhile, and the parent writes to that page. As a result, the page is orphaned: in case of get_user_pages, the application will never see any data hardware DMA's into this page after the COW. In case of mlock'd memory, the parent is not getting the realtime/security benefits of mlock. In particular, this affects the Infiniband modules which do DMA from and into user pages all the time. This patch adds madvise options to control whether memory range is inherited across fork. Useful e.g. for when hardware is doing DMA from/into these pages. Could also be useful to an application wanting to speed up its forks by cutting large areas out of consideration. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The *at patches introduced fstatat and, due to inusfficient research, I used the newfstat functions generally as the guideline. The result is that on 32-bit platforms we don't have all the information needed to implement fstatat64. This patch modifies the code to pass up 64-bit information if __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 is defined. I renamed the syscall entry point to make this clear. Other archs will continue to use the existing code. On x86-64 the compat code is implemented using a new sys32_ function. this is what is done for the other stat syscalls as well. This patch might break some other archs (those which define __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 and which already wired up the syscall). Yet others might need changes to accomodate the compatibility mode. I really don't want to do that work because all this stat handling is a mess (more so in glibc, but the kernel is also affected). It should be done by the arch maintainers. I'll provide some stand-alone test shortly. Those who are eager could compile glibc and run 'make check' (no installation needed). The patch below has been tested on x86 and x86-64.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch implements cpu topology exportation by sysfs. Items (attributes) are similar to /proc/cpuinfo. 1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/physical_package_id: represent the physical package id of cpu X; 2) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_id: represent the cpu core id to cpu X; 3) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings: represent the thread siblings to cpu X in the same core; 4) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings: represent the thread siblings to cpu X in the same physical package; To implement it in an architecture-neutral way, a new source file, driver/base/topology.c, is to export the 5 attributes. If one architecture wants to support this feature, it just needs to implement 4 defines, typically in file include/asm-XXX/topology.h. The 4 defines are: #define topology_physical_package_id(cpu) #define topology_core_id(cpu) #define topology_thread_siblings(cpu) #define topology_core_siblings(cpu) The type of **_id is int. The type of siblings is cpumask_t. To be consistent on all architectures, the 4 attributes should have deafult values if their values are unavailable. Below is the rule. 1) physical_package_id: If cpu has no physical package id, -1 is the default value. 2) core_id: If cpu doesn't support multi-core, its core id is 0. 3) thread_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support HT/multi-thread. 4) core_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support multi-core and HT/Multi-thread. So be careful when declaring the 4 defines in include/asm-XXX/topology.h. If an attribute isn't defined on an architecture, it won't be exported. Thank Nathan, Greg, Andi, Paul and Venki. The patch provides defines for i386/x86_64/ia64.

There is a similarly a similarly optimized mode for machines with exactly 2GB of physical RAM. This can speed up the kernel by avoiding having to create/destroy temporary HIGHMEM mappings, and by not having to include HIGHMEM support at all on such machines. The flip side is that there's less virtual addressing left for userspace in these alternatives, and some binary-only kernel modules may misbehave unless rebuilt with the same VMSPLIT option as the main kernel image.

(2) Invokes it over to do_signal() when TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set. (3) Makes do_signal() support TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, using the signal mask saved in current->saved_sigmask. (4) Discards sys_rt_sigsuspend() from the arch, using the generic one instead. (5) Makes sys_sigsuspend() save the signal mask and set TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK rather than attempting to fudge the return registers. (6) Makes sys_sigsuspend() return -ERESTARTNOHAND rather than looping intrinsically. (7) Makes setup_frame(), setup_rt_frame() and handle_signal() return 0 or -EFAULT rather than true/false to be consistent with the rest of the kernel. Due to the fact do_signal() is then only called from one place: (8) Makes do_signal() no longer have a return value is it was just being ignored; force_sig() takes care of this. (9) Discards the old sigmask argument to do_signal() as it's no longer necessary. (10) Makes do_signal() static. (11) Marks the second argument to do_notify_resume() as unused. The unused argument should remain in the middle as the arguments are passed in as registers, and the ordering is specific in entry.S Given the way do_signal() is now no longer called from sys_{,rt_}sigsuspend(), they no longer need access to the exception frame, and so can just take arguments normally.

The first problem was that detection time scaled with O(N^2), which is unacceptable on larger SMP and NUMA systems. To solve this: - I've added a 'domain distance' function, which is used to cache measurement results. Each distance is only measured once. This means that e.g. on NUMA distances of 0, 1 and 2 might be measured, on HT distances 0 and 1, and on SMP distance 0 is measured. The code walks the domain tree to determine the distance, so it automatically follows whatever hierarchy an architecture sets up. This cuts down on the boot time significantly and removes the O(N^2) limit. The only assumption is that migration costs can be expressed as a function of domain distance - this covers the overwhelming majority of existing systems, and is a good guess even for more assymetric systems. [ People hacking systems that have assymetries that break this assumption (e.g. different CPU speeds) should experiment a bit with the cpu_distance() function. Adding a ->migration_distance factor to the domain structure would be one possible solution - but lets first see the problem systems, if they exist at all. Lets not overdesign. ] Another problem was that only a single cache-size was used for measuring the cost of migration, and most architectures didnt set that variable up. Furthermore, a single cache-size does not fit NUMA hierarchies with L3 caches and does not fit HT setups, where different CPUs will often have different 'effective cache sizes'. To solve this problem: - Instead of relying on a single cache-size provided by the platform and sticking to it, the code now auto-detects the 'effective migration cost' between two measured CPUs, via iterating through a wide range of cachesizes. The code searches for the maximum migration cost, which occurs when the working set of the test-workload falls just below the 'effective cache size'. I.e. real-life optimized search is done for the maximum migration cost, between two real CPUs. This, amongst other things, has the positive effect hat if e.g. two CPUs share a L2/L3 cache, a different (and accurate) migration cost will be found than between two CPUs on the same system that dont share any caches. (The reliable measurement of migration costs is tricky - see the source for details.) Furthermore i've added various boot-time options to override/tune migration behavior. Firstly, there's a blanket override for autodetection: migration_cost=1000,2000,3000 will override the depth 0/1/2 values with 1msec/2msec/3msec values. Secondly, there's a global factor that can be used to increase (or decrease) the autodetected values: migration_factor=120 will increase the autodetected values by 20%. This option is useful to tune things in a workload-dependent way - e.g. if a workload is cache-insensitive then CPU utilization can be maximized by specifying migration_factor=0. I've tested the autodetection code quite extensively on x86, on 3 P3/Xeon/2MB, and the autodetected values look pretty good: Dual Celeron (128K L2 cache): --------------------- migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 131072, cpu: 467 MHz): --------------------- [00] [01] [00]: - 1.7(1) [01]: 1.7(1) - --------------------- cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (0) 1.7 (1784008) --------------------- Here the slow memory subsystem dominates system performance, and even though caches are small, the migration cost is 1.7 msecs. Dual HT P4 (512K L2 cache): --------------------- migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 524288, cpu: 2379 MHz): --------------------- [00] [01] [02] [03] [00]: - 0.4(1) 0.0(0) 0.4(1) [01]: 0.4(1) - 0.4(1) 0.0(0) [02]: 0.0(0) 0.4(1) - 0.4(1) [03]: 0.4(1) 0.0(0) 0.4(1) - --------------------- cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (33900) 0.4 (448514) --------------------- Here it can be seen that there is no migration cost between two HT siblings (CPU#0/2 and CPU#1/3 are separate physical CPUs). A fast memory system makes inter-physical-CPU migration pretty cheap: 0.4 msecs. 8-way P3/Xeon [2MB L2 cache]: --------------------- migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 2097152, cpu: 700 MHz): --------------------- [00] [01] [02] [03] [04] [05] [06] [07] [00]: - 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) [01]: 19.2(1) - 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) [02]: 19.2(1) 19.2(1) - 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) [03]: 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) - 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) [04]: 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) - 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) [05]: 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) - 19.2(1) 19.2(1) [06]: 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) - 19.2(1) [07]: 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) - --------------------- cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (0) 19.2 (19281756) --------------------- This one has huge caches and a relatively slow memory subsystem - so the migration cost is 19 msecs.
