2008-10-22sched: add CONFIG_SMP consistencyLi Zefan
a patch from Henrik Austad did this: >> Do not declare select_task_rq as part of sched_class when CONFIG_SMP is >> not set. Peter observed: > While a proper cleanup, could you do it by re-arranging the methods so > as to not create an additional ifdef? Do not declare select_task_rq and some other methods as part of sched_class when CONFIG_SMP is not set. Also gather those methods to avoid CONFIG_SMP mess.

2008-10-20sched: optimize group load balancerPeter Zijlstra
I noticed that tg_shares_up() unconditionally takes rq-locks for all cpus in the sched_domain. This hurts. We need the rq-locks whenever we change the weight of the per-cpu group sched entities. To allevate this a little, only change the weight when the new weight is at least shares_thresh away from the old value. This avoids the rq-lock for the top level entries, since those will never be re-weighted, and fuzzes the lower level entries a little to gain performance in semi-stable situations.

2008-10-16radeonfb: accelerate imageblit and other improvementsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Implement support for HW color expansion of 1bpp images, along with some improvements to the FIFO handling and other accel operations. The offset fixup code is now unnecessary as the fbcon core will call our set_par upon switch back from KD_GRAPHICS before anything else happens. I removed it as it would slow down accel operations. The fifo wait has been improved to avoid hitting the HW register as often, and the various accel ops are now performing better caching of register values. Overall, this improve accel performances. The imageblit acceleration does result in a small overall regression in performances on some machines (on the order of 5% on some x86), probably becaus the SW path provides a better bus utilisation, but I decided to ingnore that as the performances is still very good, and on the other hand, some machines such as some sparc64 get a 3 fold performance improvement.

2008-10-16autofs4: add miscellaneous device for ioctlsIan Kent
Add a miscellaneous device to the autofs4 module for routing ioctls. This provides the ability to obtain an ioctl file handle for an autofs mount point that is possibly covered by another mount. The actual problem with autofs is that it can't reconnect to existing mounts. Immediately one things of just adding the ability to remount autofs file systems would solve it, but alas, that can't work. This is because autofs direct mounts and the implementation of "on demand mount and expire" of nested mount trees have the file system mounted on top of the mount trigger dentry. To resolve this a miscellaneous device node for routing ioctl commands to these mount points has been implemented in the autofs4 kernel module and a library added to autofs. This provides the ability to open a file descriptor for these over mounted autofs mount points. Please refer to Documentation/filesystems/autofs4-mount-control.txt for a discussion of the problem, implementation alternatives considered and a description of the interface.

2008-10-16i2o: Fix 32/64bit DMA lockingAlan Cox
The I2O ioctls assume 32bits. In itself that is fine as they are old cards and nobody uses 64bit. However on LKML it was noted this assumption is also made for allocated memory and is unsafe on 64bit systems. Fixing this is a mess. It turns out there is tons of crap buried in a header file that does racy 32/64bit filtering on the masks. So we: - Verify all callers of the racy code can sleep (i2o_dma_[re]alloc) - Move the code into a new i2o/memory.c file - Remove the gfp_mask argument so nobody can try and misuse the function - Wrap a mutex around the problem area (a single mutex is easy to do and none of this is performance relevant) - Switch the remaining problem kmalloc holdout to use i2o_dma_alloc Cc: Markus Lidel <Markus.Lidel@shadowconnect.com> Cc: Vasily Averin <vvs@sw.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-10-16Allow recursion in binfmt_script and binfmt_miscKirill A. Shutemov
binfmt_script and binfmt_misc disallow recursion to avoid stack overflow using sh_bang and misc_bang. It causes problem in some cases: $ echo '#!/bin/ls' > /tmp/t0 $ echo '#!/tmp/t0' > /tmp/t1 $ echo '#!/tmp/t1' > /tmp/t2 $ chmod +x /tmp/t* $ /tmp/t2 zsh: exec format error: /tmp/t2 Similar problem with binfmt_misc. This patch introduces field 'recursion_depth' into struct linux_binprm to track recursion level in binfmt_misc and binfmt_script. If recursion level more then BINPRM_MAX_RECURSION it generates -ENOEXEC. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: make linux_binprm.recursion_depth a uint] Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2008-10-16compat: move cp_compat_stat to common codeChristoph Hellwig
struct stat / compat_stat is the same on all architectures, so cp_compat_stat should be, too. Turns out it is, except that various architectures have slightly and some high2lowuid/high2lowgid or the direct assignment instead of the SET_UID/SET_GID that expands to the correct one anyway.

2008-10-16profiling: dynamically enable readprofile at runtimeDave Hansen
Way too often, I have a machine that exhibits some kind of crappy behavior. The CPU looks wedged in the kernel or it is spending way too much system time and I wonder what is responsible. I try to run readprofile. But, of course, Ubuntu doesn't enable it by default. Dang! The reason we boot-time enable it is that it takes a big bufffer that we generally can only bootmem alloc. But, does it hurt to at least try and runtime-alloc it? To use: echo 2 > /sys/kernel/profile Then run readprofile like normal. This should fix the compile issue with allmodconfig. I've compile-tested on a bunch more configs now including a few more architectures.

2008-10-16Make the taint flags reliableAndi Kleen
It's somewhat unlikely that it happens, but right now a race window between interrupts or machine checks or oopses could corrupt the tainted bitmap because it is modified in a non atomic fashion. Convert the taint variable to an unsigned long and use only atomic bit operations on it. Unfortunately this means the intvec sysctl functions cannot be used on it anymore. It turned out the taint sysctl handler could actually be simplified a bit (since it only increases capabilities) so this patch actually removes code.

2008-10-16wait: kill is_sync_wait()Tejun Heo
is_sync_wait() is used to distinguish between sync and async waits. Basically sync waits are the ones initialized with init_waitqueue_entry() and async ones with init_waitqueue_func_entry(). The sync/async distinction is used only in prepare_to_wait[_exclusive]() and its only function is to skip setting the current task state if the wait is async. This has a few problems. * No one uses it. None of func_entry users use prepare_to_wait() functions, so the code path never gets executed. * The distinction is bogus. Maybe back when func_entry is used only by aio but it's now also used by epoll and in future possibly by 9p and poll/select. * Taking @state as argument and ignoring it silenly depending on how @wait is initialized is just a bad error-prone API. * It prevents func_entry waits from using wait->private for no good reason. This patch kills is_sync_wait() and the associated code paths from prepare_to_wait[_exclusive](). As there was no user of these code paths, this patch doesn't cause any behavior difference.

2008-10-16vsprintf: use new vsprintf symbolic function pointer formatBjorn Helgaas
Use the '%pF' format to get rid of an "#ifdef DEBUG" and make some printks atomic. This removes the last in-tree uses of print_fn_descriptor_symbol(). I marked print_fn_descriptor_symbol() deprecated and scheduled it for removal next year to give time for out-of-tree modules to be updated. parisc's print_fn_descriptor_symbol() is currently broken there (it needs to dereference the function pointer similar to ia64 and power). This patch shouldn't make anything worse, but it means we need to fix dereference_function_descriptor() instead of print_fn_descriptor_symbol() to get meaningful initcall_debug output.
