2009-09-23lguest: don't force VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTYRusty Russell
VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY indicates to the Guest that we will hit them with an interrupt every time the xmit queue is emptied. Because it results in lots of tx interrupts, modern Guests probably don't want it, so let's only force it when they accept the option. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2009-09-22mm: fix NUMA accounting in numastat.txtMinchan Kim
In Documentation/numastat.txt, it confused me. For example, there are nodes [0,1] in system. barrios:~$ cat /proc/zoneinfo | egrep 'numa|zone' Node 0, zone DMA numa_hit 33226 numa_miss 1739 numa_foreign 27978 .. .. Node 1, zone DMA numa_hit 307 numa_miss 46900 numa_foreign 0 1) In node 0, NUMA_MISS means it wanted to allocate page in node 1 but ended up with page in node 0 2) In node 0, NUMA_FOREIGN means it wanted to allocate page in node 0 but ended up with page from Node 1. But now, numastat explains it oppositely about (MISS, FOREIGN). Let's fix up with viewpoint of zone.

2009-09-22tracing, page-allocator: add a postprocessing script for ↵Mel Gorman
page-allocator-related ftrace events This patch adds a simple post-processing script for the page-allocator-related trace events. It can be used to give an indication of who the most allocator-intensive processes are and how often the zone lock was taken during the tracing period. Example output looks like Process Pages Pages Pages Pages PCPU PCPU PCPU Fragment Fragment MigType Fragment Fragment Unknown details allocd allocd freed freed pages drains refills Fallback Causing Changed Severe Moderate under lock direct pagevec drain swapper-0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Xorg-3770 10603 5952 3685 6978 5996 194 192 0 0 0 0 0 0 modprobe-21397 51 0 0 86 31 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 xchat-5370 228 93 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 awesome-4317 32 32 0 0 0 0 32 0 0 0 0 0 0 thinkfan-3863 2 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 hald-addon-stor-3935 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 akregator-4506 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 xmms-14888 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 khelper-12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Optionally, the output can include information on the parent or aggregate based on process name instead of aggregating based on each pid. Example output including parent information and stripped out the PID looks something like; Process Pages Pages Pages Pages PCPU PCPU PCPU Fragment Fragment MigType Fragment Fragment Unknown details allocd allocd freed freed pages drains refills Fallback Causing Changed Severe Moderate under lock direct pagevec drain gdm-3756 :: Xorg-3770 3796 2976 99 3813 3224 104 98 0 0 0 0 0 0 init-1 :: hald-3892 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 git-21447 :: editor-21448 4 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 This says that Xorg allocated 3796 pages and it's parent process is gdm with a PID of 3756; The postprocessor parses the text output of tracing. While there is a binary format, the expectation is that the binary output can be readily translated into text and post-processed offline. Obviously if the text format changes, the parser will break but the regular expression parser is fairly rudimentary so should be readily adjustable.

Improve the example code to be at least useable, as in not causing harm (as shown below). Code can still be improved further, but this adds some basic safeguards. 1. hpfall *MUST* mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE); itself! Since the Program sits and waits most of the time it becomes very likely swapped out. If it gets woken up when the laptop drops from the table while it is swapped out it actually triggers harddrive activity! 2. Daemonize hpfall using 'daemon(0,0)' (quick and dirty). 3. Give hpfall realtime priority. Should give a chance that it has less latency when woken up.

2009-09-20kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel scriptSam Ravnborg
Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL to select a custom installkernel script when running make: make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install With this patch we are now more consistent across different architectures - they did not all support use of CROSS_COMPILE. The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change just because we change toolchain. The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no longer be installable. [Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint] This patch undos what Ian did in commit: 0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46 ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh") The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes looks obvious.

2009-09-19mtd: maps: add mtd-ram support to physmap_ofWolfram Sang
Use physmap_of to access RAMs as mtd and add documenation for it. This approach is a lot less intrusive as adding an of-wrapper around plat-ram.c. As most extensions of plat-ram.c (e.g. custom map-functions) can't be mapped to the device tree anyhow, extending physmap_of seems to be the cleanest approach. Tested with a phyCORE-MPC5121e.

2009-09-19intel-iommu: Kill DMAR_BROKEN_GFX_WA option.David Woodhouse
Just make it depend on BROKEN for now, in case people scream really loud about it (and because we might want to keep some of this logic for an upcoming BIOS workaround, so I don't just want to rip it out entirely just yet). But for graphics devices, it really ought to be unnecessary. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
2009-09-19tracing, perf: Convert the power tracer into an event tracerArjan van de Ven
This patch converts the existing power tracer into an event tracer, so that power events (C states and frequency changes) can be tracked via "perf". This also removes the perl script that was used to demo the tracer; its functionality is being replaced entirely with timechart.

2009-09-19hwmon driver for ACPI 4.0 power metersDarrick J. Wong
This driver exposes ACPI 4.0 compliant power meters as hardware monitoring devices. This second revision of the driver also exports the ACPI string info as sysfs attributes, a list of the devices that the meter measures, and will send ACPI notifications over the ACPI netlink socket. This latest revision only enables the power capping controls if it can be confirmed that the power cap can be enforced by the hardware and explains how the notification interfaces work.
