2006-12-07[PATCH] shared page table for hugetlb pageChen, Kenneth W
Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken. This set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only. The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of independent processes sharing large shared memory segments. In the normal page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite significant. For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss. With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application gets much higher cache hit ratio. One other effect is that cache hit ratio with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this helps to reduce tlb miss latency. These two effects contribute to higher application performance.

2006-12-07[PATCH] x86-64: Fix interrupt race in idle callback (3rd try)Venkatesh Pallipadi
Idle callbacks has some races when enter_idle() sets isidle and subsequent interrupts that can happen on that CPU, before CPU goes to idle. Due to this, an IDLE_END can get called before IDLE_START. To avoid these races, disable interrupts before enter_idle and make sure that all idle routines do not enable interrupts before entering idle. Note that poll_idle() still has a this race as it has to enable interrupts before going to idle. But, all other idle routines have the race fixed.

2006-12-07[PATCH] x86-64: Mark rdtsc as sync only for netburst, not for core2Arjan van de Ven
On the Core2 cpus, the rdtsc instruction is not serializing (as defined in the architecture reference since rdtsc exists) and due to the deep speculation of these cores, it's possible that you can observe time go backwards between cores due to this speculation. Since the kernel already deals with this with the SYNC_RDTSC flag, the solution is simple, only assume that the instruction is serializing on family 15... The price one pays for this is a slightly slower gettimeofday (by a dozen or two cycles), but that increase is quite small to pay for a really-going-forward tsc counter.
