* [PATCH] cpuset: allow a larger buffer for writes to cpuset filesPaul Menage2006-12-071-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | When using fake NUMA setup, the number of memory nodes can greatly exceed the number of CPUs. So the current limit in cpuset_common_file_write() is insufficient.

* [PATCH] add ignore_loglevel boot optionIngo Molnar2006-12-071-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | Sometimes the kernel prints something interesting while userspace bootup keeps messages turned off via loglevel.

* [PATCH] lockdep: register_lock_class() fixIngo Molnar2006-12-071-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hash_lock must only ever be taken with irqs disabled. This happens in all the important places, except one codepath: register_lock_class(). The race should trigger rarely because register_lock_class() is quite rare and single-threaded (happens during init most of the time). The fix is to disable irqs. ( bug found live in -rt: there preemption is alot more agressive and preempting with the hash-lock held caused a lockup.)

* [PATCH] Kexec / Kdump: Unify elf note codeMagnus Damm2006-12-071-0/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The elf note saving code is currently duplicated over several architectures. This cleanup patch simply adds code to a common file and then replaces the arch-specific code with calls to the newly added code. The only drawback with this approach is that s390 doesn't fully support kexec-on-panic which for that arch leads to introduction of unused code.

* [PATCH] futex: remove unneeded barrierRalf Baechle2006-12-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When disassembling a kernel I found around over 90 sync Instructions from mb, rmb and wmb calls in the kernel and only few of those make any sense to me. So here's the first one - I think the wmb() in kernel/futex.c is not needed on uniprocessors so should become an smb_wmb().

* [PATCH] softirq: remove BUG_ONs which can incorrectly triggerZachary Amsden2006-12-071-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible to have tasklets get scheduled before softirqd has had a chance to spawn on all CPUs. This is totally harmless; after success during action CPU_UP_PREPARE, action CPU_ONLINE will be called, which immediately wakes softirqd on the appropriate CPU to process the already pending tasklets. So there is no danger of having a missed wakeup for any tasklets that were already pending. In particular, i386 is affected by this during startup, and is visible when using a very large initrd; during the time it takes for the initrd to be decompressed, a timer IRQ can come in and schedule RCU callbacks. It is also possible that resending of a hardware IRQ via a softirq triggers the same bug. Because of different timing conditions, this shows up in all emulators and virtual machines tested, including Xen, VMware, Virtual PC, and Qemu. It is also possible to trigger on native hardware with a large enough initrd, although I don't have a reliable case demonstrating that.

* [PATCH] rcu: add a prefetch() in rcu_do_batch()Eric Dumazet2006-12-071-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some workloads, (for example when lot of close() syscalls are done), RCU qlen can be quite large, and RCU heads are no longer in cpu cache when rcu_do_batch() is called. This patch adds a prefetch() in rcu_do_batch() to give CPU a hint to bring back cache lines containing 'struct rcu_head's. Most list manipulations macros include prefetch(), but not open coded ones (at least with current C compilers :) ) I got a nice speedup on a trivial benchmark (3.48 us per iteration instead of 3.95 us on a 1.6 GHz Pentium-M) while (1) { pipe(p); close(fd[0]); close(fd[1]);} Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Cc: "Paul E.

* [PATCH] kprobes: enable booster on the preemptible kernelMasami Hiramatsu2006-12-071-21/+96
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix two things. Firstly the unit is "Hz" not "HZ". Secondly it is useful to have 300Hz support when doing multimedia work. 250 is fine for us in Europe but the US frame rate is 30fps (29.99 blah for pedants). 300 gives us a tick divisible by both 25 and 30, and for interlace work 50 and 60. It's also giving similar performance to 250Hz. I'd argue we should remove 250 and add 300, but that might be excess disruption for now.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently taskstats_user_cmd()/taskstats_exit() do: 1) allocate stats 2) fill stats 3) make a temporary copy on stack (236 bytes) 4) copy that copy to skb 5) free stats With the help of nla_reserve() we can operate on skb->data directly, thus avoiding all these steps except 2). So, before this patch: // copy *stats to skb->data int mk_reply(skb, ..., struct taskstats *stats); fill_pid(stats); mk_reply(skb, ..., stats); After: // return a pointer to skb->data struct taskstats *mk_reply(skb, ...); stat = mk_reply(skb, ...); fill_pid(stats); Shrinks taskatsks.o by 162 bytes.

* [PATCH] Disable CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID for abnormal exitRoland McGrath2006-12-071-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID flag is used by NPTL to have its threads communicate via memory/futex when they exit, so pthread_join can synchronize using a simple futex wait. The word of user memory where NPTL stores a thread's own TID is what it passes; this gets reset to zero at thread exit. It is not desireable to touch this user memory when threads are dying due to a fatal signal. A core dump is more usefully representative of the dying program state if the threads live at the time of the crash have their NPTL data structures unperturbed. The userland expectation of CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID has only ever been that it works for a thread making an _exit system call. This problem was identified by Ernie Petrides <petrides@redhat.com>.

* [PATCH] cpuset: minor code refinementsPaul Jackson2006-12-071-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | A couple of minor code simplifications to the kernel/cpuset.c code. No functional change. Just a little less code and a little more readable. Signed-off-by: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] Export pm_suspend for the shared APM emulationRalf Baechle2006-12-071-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | The new shared APM emulation just like its ARM and MIPS predecessors uses pm_suspend() which was only exported on SH. Move export to close to it's definition where it really should be anyway.

* [PATCH] SysRq-X: show blocked tasksIngo Molnar2006-12-071-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | Add SysRq-X support: show blocked (TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) tasks only. Useful for debugging IO stalls. 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] /proc/kallsyms reports lower-case types for some non-exported symbolsAdam B. Jerome2006-12-071-8/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch addresses incorrect symbol type information reported through /proc/kallsyms. A lowercase character should designate the symbol as local (or non-exported). An uppercase character should designate the symbol as global (or external). Without this patch, some non-exported symbols are incorrectly assigned an upper-case designation in /proc/kallsyms. This patch corrects this condition by converting non-exported symbols types to lower case when appropriate and eliminates the superfluous upcase_if_global function Signed-off-by: Adam B.

* [PATCH] lockdep: annotate nfs/nfsd in-kernel socketsPeter Zijlstra2006-12-071-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stick NFS sockets in their own class to avoid some lockdep warnings. NFS sockets are never exposed to user-space, and will hence not trigger certain code paths that would otherwise pose deadlock scenarios.
