* Introduce a new PER_CPU macro called "EARLY_PER_CPU". This is
used by some per_cpu variables that are initialized and accessed
before there are per_cpu areas allocated.
["Early" in respect to per_cpu variables is "earlier than the per_cpu
areas have been setup".]
This patchset adds these new macros:
DEFINE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name, _initvalue)
EXPORT_EARLY_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(_name)
DECLARE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name)
early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)
early_per_cpu_map(_name, _idx)
early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu)
The DEFINE macro defines the per_cpu variable as well as the early
map and pointer. It also initializes the per_cpu variable and map
elements to "_initvalue". The early_* macros provide access to
the initial map (usually setup during system init) and the early
pointer. This pointer is initialized to point to the early map
but is then NULL'ed when the actual per_cpu areas are setup. After
that the per_cpu variable is the correct access to the variable.
The early_per_cpu() macro is not very efficient but does show how to
access the variable if you have a function that can be called both
"early" and "late". It tests the early ptr to be NULL, and if not
then it's still valid. Otherwise, the per_cpu variable is used
instead:
#define early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu) \
(early_per_cpu_ptr(_name) ? \
early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)[_cpu] : \
per_cpu(_name, _cpu))
A better method is to actually check the pointer manually. In the
case below, numa_set_node can be called both "early" and "late":
void __cpuinit numa_set_node(int cpu, int node)
{
int *cpu_to_node_map = early_per_cpu_ptr(x86_cpu_to_node_map);
if (cpu_to_node_map)
cpu_to_node_map[cpu] = node;
else
per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_node_map, cpu) = node;
}
* Add a flag "arch_provides_topology_pointers" that indicates pointers
to topology cpumask_t maps are available. Otherwise, use the function
returning the cpumask_t value. This is useful if cpumask_t set size
is very large to avoid copying data on to/off of the stack.
* The coverage of CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS has been increased while
the non-debug case has been optimized a bit.
* Remove an unreferenced compiler warning in drivers/base/topology.c
* Clean up #ifdef in setup.c
For inclusion into sched-devel/latest tree.

* Increase the limit of NR_CPUS to 4096 and introduce a boolean
called "MAXSMP" which when set (e.g. "allyesconfig"), will set
NR_CPUS = 4096 and NODES_SHIFT = 9 (512).
* Changed max setting for NODES_SHIFT from 15 to 9 to accurately

Ok, I think I found it. In check_nmi_watchdog():
for (cpu = 0; cpu < NR_CPUS; cpu++)
prev_nmi_count[cpu] = cpu_pda(cpu)->__nmi_count;
As I mentioned it works fine on both of my systems so could you try it out?
Thanks!

The pxa27x DMA controller defaults to 64-bit alignment. This caused
the SCR reads to fail (and, depending on card type, error out) when
card->raw_scr was not aligned on a 8-byte boundary.
For performance reasons all scatter-gather addresses passed to
pxamci_request should be aligned on 8-byte boundaries, but if
this can't be guaranteed, byte aligned DMA transfers in the
have to be enabled in the controller to get correct behaviour.

This reverts commit e872154921a6b5256a3c412dd69158ac0b135176.
Andrey Borzenkov reports that it resulted in a totally hung machine for
him when loading the OHCI driver. Extensive netconsole capture with
SysRq output shows that modprobe gets stuck in ohci_hub_status_data()
when probing and enabling the OHCI controller, see for example
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/5/236
for an analysis.
The problem appears to be an interrupt flood triggered by the commit
that gets reverted, and Andrey confirmed that the revert makes things
work for him again.

The "remote_irr" variable is used to indicate an interrupt
which has been received by the LAPIC, but not acked.
In our EOI handler, we unset remote_irr and re-inject the
interrupt if the interrupt line is still asserted.
However, we do not set remote_irr here, leading to a
situation where if kvm_ioapic_set_irq() is called, then we go
ahead and call ioapic_service(). This means that IRR is
re-asserted even though the interrupt is currently in service
(i.e. LAPIC IRR is cleared and ISR/TMR set)
The issue with this is that when the currently executing
interrupt handler finishes and writes LAPIC EOI, then TMR is
unset and EOI sent to the IOAPIC. Since IRR is now asserted,
but TMR is not, then when the second interrupt is handled,
no EOI is sent and if there is any pending interrupt, it is
not re-injected.
This fixes a hang only seen while running mke2fs -j on an
8Gb virtio disk backed by a fully sparse raw file, with
aliguori "avoid fragmented virtio-blk transfers by copying"
changes.

Fix some issues in pagemap_read noted by Alexey:
- initialize pagemap_walk.mm to "mm" , so the code starts working as
advertised
- initialize ->private to "&pm" so it wouldn't immediately oops in
pagemap_pte_hole()
- unstatic struct pagemap_walk, so two threads won't fsckup each other
(including those started by root, including flipping ->mm when you don't
have permissions)
- pagemap_read() contains two calls to ptrace_may_attach(), second one
looks unneeded.
- avoid possible kmalloc(0) and integer wraparound.

The CaFe chip has a hardware bug that ends up with us getting a timeout
value that's too small, causing the following sorts of problems:
[ 60.525138] mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data
[ 60.531477] end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 1484353
[ 60.533371] Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0p2, logical block 181632
[ 60.533371] lost page write due to I/O error on mmcblk0p2
Presumably this is an off-by-one error in the hardware. Incrementing
the timeout count value that we stuff into the TIMEOUT_CONTROL register
gets us a value that works. This bug was originally discovered by
Pierre Ossman, I believe.

The Marvell CaFe chip's SD implementation chokes during card insertion
if one attempts to set the voltage and power up in the same

This patch changes the way we determine the maximum number of outstanding
commands for each controller.
Most Smart Array controllers can support up to 1024 commands, the notable
exceptions are the E200 and E200i.
The next generation of controllers which were just added support a mode of
operation called Zero Memory Raid (ZMR). In this mode they only support
64 outstanding commands. In Full Function Raid (FFR) mode they support
1024.
We have been setting the queue depth by arbitrarily assigning some value
for each controller. We needed a better way to set the queue depth to
avoid lots of annoying "fifo full" messages. So we made the driver a
little smarter. We now read the config table and subtract 4 from the
returned value. The -4 is to allow some room for ioctl calls which are
not tracked the same way as io commands are tracked.
Please consider this for inclusion.

The build of the Alpha Linux kernel currently fails[1] with inconsistent
kallsyms data. As I never saw that before, I thought about hardware
problems. But in fact it is a bug in the Linux kernel.
The end of the rodata section is marked with the "__end_rodata" symbol.
This symbol have different aligning constraints than the inittext parts
and therefor the start marked "_sinittext". Because of that the
__end_rodata symbol shifts between < _sinittext and == _sinittext. The
later variant is seen as a code symbol and recorded in the kallsyms data.
On fix would be to move the exception table a little bit and get some
space between that two areas.

of bytes that has been transfered over the bus. This patch changes the
logic and copy_to_user() gets called again.
The write path returns the number of bytes which are written to the
underlying device what may be less than the requested size. This patch
makes the same change to the read path or else we request a read of 20
bytes, get 10, don't call copy to user and report to the user that we read
10 bytes.

Document that a pid of zero(0) can be used to refer to the current task
when attaching a task to a cgroup, as in the following usage:
# echo 0 > /dev/cgroup/tasks
This is consistent with existing cpuset behavior.

We probably need someone to look after the few drivers/mfd patches coming
every now and then. As agreed with Andrew, I'm ok to do so and my
employer is fine with me spending a few working hours on it, if needed.
Ben, Philipp, feel free to add your names there too if you wish.

Starting last month, I reached a long-time goal: man-pages finally has a
paid, full-time maintainer, thanks to a fellowship from the Linux
Foundation. It's still a little unclear how long the LF money will last
for the fellowship, but for the foreseeable future, I'll be working on:
* Properly documenting every new Linux kernel-userland (and glibc) API,
and every API change, that is released into the mainline kernel, ideally
before actual release. (That's the ideal, but there's a quite a
backlog, so I'm not going to achieve the ideal immediately.)
* Testing new APIs, again ideally before they are released into the
mainline kernel, and probably doing some light bug fixing while I'm at
it (e.g., the recent utimensat() work).
* Design review of new APIs, which of course can only usefully be done
before they are released into the mainline kernel.
* And of course accepting patches and dealing with bug reports for
existing man pages.
