2005-11-07[PATCH] kfree cleanup: archJesper Juhl
This is the arch/ part of the big kfree cleanup patch. Remove pointless checks for NULL prior to calling kfree() in arch/.

2005-10-29[PATCH] mm: vm_stat_account unshackledHugh Dickins
The original vm_stat_account has fallen into disuse, with only one user, and only one user of vm_stat_unaccount. It's easier to keep track if we convert them all to __vm_stat_account, then free it from its __shackles.

2005-09-17[PATCH] files: fix preemption issuesDipankar Sarma
With the new fdtable locking rules, you have to protect fdtable with either ->file_lock or rcu_read_lock/unlock(). There are some places where we aren't doing either. This patch fixes those places.

2005-09-09[PATCH] more SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED -> DEFINE_SPINLOCK conversionsIngo Molnar
This converts the final 20 DEFINE_SPINLOCK holdouts. (another 580 places are already using DEFINE_SPINLOCK). Build tested on x86. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-09[PATCH] files: break up files structDipankar Sarma
In order for the RCU to work, the file table array, sets and their sizes must be updated atomically. Instead of ensuring this through too many memory barriers, we put the arrays and their sizes in a separate structure. This patch takes the first step of putting the file table elements in a separate structure fdtable that is embedded withing files_struct. It also changes all the users to refer to the file table using files_fdtable() macro. Subsequent applciation of RCU becomes easier after this.

2005-08-10[IA64] fix perfmon context loadstephane.eranian@hp.com
The PFM_LOAD_CONTEXT may fail silently and cause a session to remain reserved even though it should not. This can happen when the commands succeeds in reserving the session but fails when it actually tries to attach to the load_pid. In that case, the command has failed but will return 0. More importantly, the session will remain reserved. This patch fixes the problem. Signed-off-by: <stephane.eranian@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

2005-05-18[IA64] alternate perfmon handlerTony Luck
Patch from Charles Spirakis Some linux customers want to optimize their applications on the latest hardware but are not yet willing to upgrade to the latest kernel. This patch provides a way to plug in an alternate, basic, and GPL'ed PMU subsystem to help with their monitoring needs or for specialty work. It can also be used in case of serious unexpected bugs in perfmon. Mutual exclusion between the two subsystems is guaranteed, hence no conflict can arise from both subsystem being present.

2005-05-03[IA64] another perfmon fix (take2)stephane eranian
- pfm_context_load(): change return value from EINVAL to EBUSY when context is already loaded. - pfm_check_task_state(): pass test if context state is MASKED. It is safe to give access on PFM_CTX_MASKED because the PMU state (PMD) is stable and saved in software state. This helps multiplexing programs such as the example given in libpfm-3.1.

2005-05-03[IA64] perfmon & PAL_HALT againStephane Eranian
The pmu_active test is based on the values of PSR.up. THIS IS THE PROBLEM as it does not take into account the lazy restore logic which is as follow (simplified): context switch out: save PMDs clear psr.up release ownership context switch in: if (ctx->last_cpu == smp_processor_id() && ctx->cpu_activation == cpu_activation) { set psr.up return } restore PMD restore PMC ctx->last_cpu = smp_processor_id(); ctx->activation = ++cpu_activation; set psr.up The key here is that on context switch out, we clear psr.up and on context switch in we check if nobody else used the PMU on that processor since last time we came. In that case, we assume the PMD/PMC are ours and we simply reactivate. The Caliper problem is that between the moment we context switch out and the moment we come back, nobody effectively used the PMU BUT the processor went idle. Normally this would have no incidence but PAL_HALT does alter the PMU registers. In default_idle(), the test on psr.up is not strong enough to cover this case and we go into PAL which trashed the PMU resgisters. When we come back we falsely assume that this is our state yet it is corrupted. Very nasty indeed. To avoid the problem it is necessary to forbid going to PAL_HALT as soon as perfmon installs some valid state in the PMU registers. This happens with an application attaches a context to a thread or CPU. It is not enough to check the psr/dcr bits. Hence I propose the attached patch. It adds a callback in process.c to modify the condition to enter PAL on idle. Basically, now it is conditional to pal_halt=1 AND perfmon saying it is okay.

2005-04-25[IA64] perfmon: make pfm_sysctl a global, and other cleanupStephane Eranian
- make pfm_sysctl a global such that it is possible to enable/disable debug printk in sampling formats using PFM_DEBUG. - remove unused pfm_debug_var variable - fix a bug in pfm_handle_work where an BUG_ON() could be triggered. There is a path where pfm_handle_work() can be called with interrupts enabled, i.e., when TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set. The fix correct the masking and unmasking of interrupts in pfm_handle_work() such that we restore the interrupt mask as it was upon entry. signed-off-by: stephane eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
