2006-02-01[PATCH] VMSPLIT config optionsMark Lord
Enable selection of different user/kernel VM splits for i386, including an optimized mode for 1GB physical RAM, which gives the kernel a direct (non HIGHMEM) mapping to the entire 1GB rather than just the first 896MB. 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.

2006-02-01[PATCH] disable lost tick compensation before TSCs are syncedjohn stultz
Avoid lost tick compensation early in boot before the TSCs are synchronized. Currently timekeeping is enabled before the TSCs are synchronized, thus when the TSCs are synched (reset to zero), it appears that a number of lost ticks have occurred. This can cause premature expiry of timers and in extreme cases can cause the soft lockup detection to fire. This resolves issues reported by Andy Whitcroft as well as bug #5366 reported by Tim Mann.

2006-01-18[PATCH] EDAC: core EDAC support codeAlan Cox
This is a subset of the bluesmoke project core code, stripped of the NMI work which isn't ready to merge and some of the "interesting" proc functionality that needs reworking or just has no place in kernel. It requires no core kernel changes except the added scrub functions already posted. The goal is to merge further functionality only after the core code is accepted and proven in the base kernel, and only at the point the upstream extras are really ready to merge. From: doug thompson <norsk5@xmission.com> This converts EDAC to sysfs and is the final chunk neccessary before EDAC has a stable user space API and can be considered for submission into the base kernel.

2006-01-18[PATCH] Handle TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for i386David Howells
Handle TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as added by David Woodhouse's patch entitled: [PATCH] 2/3 Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK support for arch/powerpc [PATCH] 3/3 Generic sys_rt_sigsuspend It does the following: (1) Declares TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for i386. (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.

2006-01-14[PATCH] enable unit-at-a-time optimisations for gcc4Ingo Molnar
Allow gcc4 compilers to optimize unit-at-a-time. This flag enables gcc to "see" the entire C file before making optimisation decisions such as inline, which results in gcc making better decisions. One of the immediate effects of this is that static functions that are used only once now get inlined. gcc 3.4 has this flag as well, however gcc 3.x have a problem with inlining and stacks and as a result, enabling this flag there would cause excessive and unacceptable stack use. This problem is fixed in the gcc 4.x series. The x86-64 architecture already enables this feature so it's well tested already.

2006-01-14[PATCH] gx1fb: (try to) play nicer with various BIOSesDavid Vrabel
Seems that the CS5530A chip used in Geode GX1 systems has some crazy feature that causes SMI traps when accessing the PCI configuration space of the video device. Various GX1 BIOSes seem to use this 'feature' to hide the real BARs of the device. This patch disables these traps (in an early PCI fixup) so that Linux sees the real, physical BARs and not the virtual ones provided by the BIOS. This should allow the GX1 framebuffer driver to work on more systems that have different BIOSes as the driver no longer guesses at what the virtual BARs mean. I'm not entirely sure it the correct solution as I can neither test regular VGA console nor the X's 'cyrix' video driver so there might be some breakage there -- probably best to get some more testers before applying it.

2006-01-12[PATCH] scheduler cache-hot-autodetectakpm@osdl.org
) From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> This is the latest version of the scheduler cache-hot-auto-tune patch. 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.

2006-01-11[PATCH] x86_64: Memorize location of i8259 for reboots.Eric W. Biederman
Currently we attempt to restore virtual wire mode on reboot, which only works if we can figure out where the i8259 is connected. This is very useful when we are kexec another kernel and likely helpful to an peculiar BIOS that make assumptions about how the system is setup. Since the acpi MADT table does not provide the location where the i8259 is connected we have to look at the hardware to figure it out. Most systems have the i8259 connected the local apic of the cpu so won't be affected but people running Opteron and some serverworks chipsets should be able to use kexec now. In addition this patch removes the hard coded assumption that the io_apic that delivers isa interrups is always known to the kernel as io_apic 0. There does not appear to be anything to guarantee that assumption is true. And From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com> A minor fix to the patch which remembers the location of where i8259 is connected.

2006-01-11[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Don't IPI to offline cpus on shutdownEric W. Biederman
So why are we calling smp_send_stop from machine_halt? We don't. Looking more closely at the bug report the problem here is that halt -p is called which triggers not a halt but an attempt to power off. machine_power_off calls machine_shutdown which calls smp_send_stop. If pm_power_off is set we should never make it out machine_power_off to the call of do_exit. So pm_power_off must not be set in this case. When pm_power_off is not set we expect machine_power_off to devolve into machine_halt. So how do we fix this? Playing too much with smp_send_stop is dangerous because it must also be safe to be called from panic. It looks like the obviously correct fix is to only call machine_shutdown when pm_power_off is defined. Doing that will make Andi's assumption about not scheduling true and generally simplify what must be supported. This turns machine_power_off into a noop like machine_halt when pm_power_off is not defined. If the expected behavior is that sys_reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_POWER_OFF) becomes sys_reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_HALT) if pm_power_off is NULL this is not quite a comprehensive fix as we pass a different parameter to the reboot notifier and we set system_state to a different value before calling device_shutdown(). Unfortunately any fix more comprehensive I can think of is not obviously correct. The core problem is that there is no architecture independent way to detect if machine_power will become a noop, without calling it.

2006-01-11[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Update AMD CPUID flagsAndi Kleen
Print bits for RDTSCP, SVM, CR8-LEGACY. Also now print power flags on i386 like x86-64 always did. This will add a new line in the 386 cpuinfo, but that shouldn't be an issue - did that in the past too and I haven't heard of any breakage. I shrunk some of the fields in the i386 cpuinfo_x86 to chars to make up for the new int "x86_power" field. Overall it's smaller than before.

2006-01-11[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Generalize X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC flagAndi Kleen
Define it for i386 too. This is a synthetic flag that signifies that the CPU's TSC runs at a constant P state invariant frequency. Fix up the logic on x86-64/i386 to set it on all known CPUs. Use the AMD defined bit to set it on future AMD CPUs. Cc: venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-01-11[PATCH] kprobes: fix race in recovery of reentrant probeKeshavamurthy Anil S
There is a window where a probe gets removed right after the probe is hit on some different cpu. In this case probe handlers can't find a matching probe instance related to break address. In this case we need to read the original instruction at break address to see if that is not a break/int3 instruction and recover safely. Previous code had a bug where we were not checking for the above race in case of reentrant probes and the below patch fixes this race. Tested on IA64, Powerpc, x86_64.

2006-01-10[PATCH] vesafb: Drop blank hookAntonino A. Daplas
From: Bugzilla Bug 5351 "After resuming from S3 (suspended while in X), the LCD panel stays black . However, the laptop is up again, and I can SSH into it from another machine. I can get the panel working again, when I first direct video output to the CRT output of the laptop, and then back to LCD (done by repeatedly hitting Fn+F5 buttons on the Toshiba, which directs output to either LCD, CRT or TV) None of this ever happened with older kernels." This bug is due to the recently added vesafb_blank() method in vesafb. It works with CRT displays, but has a high incidence of problems in laptop users. Since CRT users don't really get that much benefit from hardware blanking, drop support for this.

Currently arch_remove_kprobes() is only implemented/required for x86_64 and powerpc. All other architecture like IA64, i386 and sparc64 implementes a dummy function which is being called from arch independent kprobes.c file.
