Note that .data.page_aligned and .data.cacheline_aligned are now after _data; it was probably a bug that they were before it.

2009-09-24alpha: use .data.init_task instead of .data.init_thread.Tim Abbott
alpha is the only architecture that uses the section name .data.init_thread instead of .data.init_task. So convert alpha to use .data.init_task like everything else. .data.init_task does not need a separate output section; this change also moves it into the .data output section.

This patch has the (likely harmless) side effect of moving .data.init_task inside the _edata. It also changes the alignment of .data.init_task from 16384 to THREAD_SIZE, which can in some configurations be larger than 16384.

2009-09-24fcntl: add F_[SG]ETOWN_EXPeter Zijlstra
In order to direct the SIGIO signal to a particular thread of a multi-threaded application we cannot, like suggested by the manpage, put a TID into the regular fcntl(F_SETOWN) call. It will still be send to the whole process of which that thread is part. Since people do want to properly direct SIGIO we introduce F_SETOWN_EX. The need to direct SIGIO comes from self-monitoring profiling such as with perf-counters. Perf-counters uses SIGIO to notify that new sample data is available. If the signal is delivered to the same task that generated the new sample it can augment that data by inspecting the task's user-space state right after it returns from the kernel. This is esp. convenient for interpreted or virtual machine driven environments. Both F_SETOWN_EX and F_GETOWN_EX take a pointer to a struct f_owner_ex as argument: struct f_owner_ex { int type; pid_t pid; }; Where type is one of F_OWNER_TID, F_OWNER_PID or F_OWNER_GID.

2009-09-24powerpc/4xx: Fix erroneous xmon warning on PowerPC 4xxJosh Boyer
The xmon code relies on MSR_RI being non-zero to indicate that an exception is recoverable. If it is not, it prints a warning message. However, the PowerPC 4xx cores do not have an MSR_RI bit and this warning is produced for every xmon event. This introduces an unrecoverable_excp function to determine if an exception is recoverable or not. This gets rid of the erroneous warnings on 4xx.

2009-09-24powerpc: Increase NODES_SHIFT on 64bit from 4 to 8Anton Blanchard
Some System p configurations can already have more than 16 nodes so we need to increase NODES_SHIFT. I chose 256 to give us some room to grow in the future, although we can look at something smaller if the memory bloat is considered too much. Unless we clamp MAX_ACTIVE_REGIONS we end up with 300kB of extra bloat in early_node_map in mm/page_alloc.c: < 6144 early_node_map > 307200 early_node_map due to: #if MAX_NUMNODES >= 32 /* If there can be many nodes, allow up to 50 holes per node */ #define MAX_ACTIVE_REGIONS (MAX_NUMNODES*50) #else /* By default, allow up to 256 distinct regions */ #define MAX_ACTIVE_REGIONS 256 Since our memory is mostly contiguous it seems reasonable to keep this at 256 for now. I also set 32bit to 32 to save space (is there any chance a 32bit system will have more than 32 discontiguous memory ranges?). Even with that fixed we have a few data structures that grow: < 896 bootmem_node_data > 14336 bootmem_node_data < 1280 node_devices > 20480 node_devices < 25088 kmalloc_caches > 59648 kmalloc_caches < 1632 hstates > 21792 hstates Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-09-24powerpc: Move 64bit heap above 1TB on machines with 1TB segmentsAnton Blanchard
If we are using 1TB segments and we are allowed to randomise the heap, we can put it above 1TB so it is backed by a 1TB segment. Otherwise the heap will be in the bottom 1TB which always uses 256MB segments and this may result in a performance penalty. This functionality is disabled when heap randomisation is turned off: echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space which may be useful when trying to allocate the maximum amount of 16M or 16G pages. On a microbenchmark that repeatedly touches 32GB of memory with a stride of 256MB + 4kB (designed to stress 256MB segments while still mapping nicely into the L1 cache), we see the improvement: Force malloc to use heap all the time: # export MALLOC_MMAP_MAX_=0 MALLOC_TRIM_THRESHOLD_=-1 Disable heap randomization: # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space # time ./test 12.51s Enable heap randomization: # echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space # time ./test 1.70s Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-09-24powerpc: Check for unsupported relocs when using CONFIG_RELOCATABLETony Breeds
When using CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, we build the kernel as a position independent executable. The kernel then uses a little bit of relocation code to relocate itself. That code only deals with R_PPC64_RELATIVE relocations though. If for some reason you use assembly constructs such as LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() to load the address of a symbol, you'll generate different kinds of relocations that won't be processed properly and bad things will happen. (We have 2 such bugs today). The perl script tries to filter out "known" bad ones. It's possible that we are missing some in the case of a weak function that nobody implements, we'll see if we get false positive and fix it.

2009-09-23headers: utsname.h reduxAlexey Dobriyan
* remove asm/atomic.h inclusion from linux/utsname.h -- not needed after kref conversion * remove linux/utsname.h inclusion from files which do not need it NOTE: it looks like fs/binfmt_elf.c do not need utsname.h, however due to some personality stuff it _is_ needed -- cowardly leave ELF-related headers and files alone.

2009-09-24cpumask: use mm_cpumask() wrapper: x86Rusty Russell
Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm->cpu_vm_mask (to be a pointer). It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer (the older ones are deprecated, but there's no hurry for arch code). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
