2006-03-25[PATCH] x86_64: group memnodemap and memnodeshift in a memnode structureEric Dumazet
pfn_to_page() and others need to access both memnode_shift and the very first bytes of memnodemap[]. If we force memnode_shift to be just before the memnodemap array, we can reduce the memory footprint to one cache line instead of two for most setups. This patch introduce a 'memnode' structure where shift and map[] are carefully placed.

2006-03-25[PATCH] x86_64: Remove CONFIG_UNORDERED_IOAndi Kleen
It was a failed experiment - all benchmarks done with it on both AMD and Intel showed it was a loss. That was probably because the store buffers of the CPUs for write combining traffic weren't large enough. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-03-25[PATCH] x86_64: timer interrupt lockup due to pending interruptVivek Goyal
o check_timer() routine fails while second kernel is booting after a crash on an opetron box. Problem happens because timer vector (0x31) seems to be locked. o After a system crash, it is not safe to service interrupts any more, hence interrupts are disabled. This leads to pending interrupts at LAPIC. LAPIC sends these interrupts to the CPU during early boot of second kernel. Other pending interrupts are discarded saying unexpected trap but timer interrupt is serviced and CPU does not issue an LAPIC EOI because it think this interrupt came from i8259 and sends ack to 8259. This leads to vector 0x31 locking as LAPIC does not clear respective ISR and keeps on waiting for EOI. o This patch issues extra EOI for the pending interrupts who have ISR set. o Though today only timer seems to be the special case because in early boot it thinks interrupts are coming from i8259 and uses mask_and_ack_8259A() as ack handler and does not issue LAPIC EOI. But probably doing it in generic manner for all vectors makes sense.

- Move the core parser into dmi_scan.c. It can be useful for other subsystems too. - Differentiate between field doesn't exist and field is 0 or unparseable.

gcc should handle this anyways, and it causes problems when sprintf is turned into strcpy by gcc behind our backs and the C fallback version of strcpy is actually defining __builtin_strcpy Then drop -ffreestanding from the main Makefile because it isn't needed anymore and implies -fno-builtin, which is wrong now.

2006-03-25[PATCH] x86_64: actively synchronize vmalloc area when registering certain ↵Jan Beulich
callbacks While the modular aspect of the respective i386 patch doesn't apply to x86-64 (as the top level page directory entry is shared between modules and the base kernel), handlers registered with register_die_notifier() are still under similar constraints for touching ioremap()ed or vmalloc()ed memory. The likelihood of this problem becoming visible is of course significantly lower, as the assigned virtual addresses would have to cross a 2**39 byte boundary. This is because the callback gets invoked (a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and (b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen, since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs, potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences.

This removes the support for pps. It's completely unused within the kernel and is basically in the way for further cleanups.

2006-03-25[PATCH] POLLRDHUP/EPOLLRDHUP handling for half-closed devices notificationsDavide Libenzi
Implement the half-closed devices notifiation, by adding a new POLLRDHUP (and its alias EPOLLRDHUP) bit to the existing poll/select sets. Since the existing POLLHUP handling, that does not report correctly half-closed devices, was feared to be changed, this implementation leaves the current POLLHUP reporting unchanged and simply add a new bit that is set in the few places where it makes sense. The same thing was discussed and conceptually agreed quite some time ago: http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/12/116 Since this new event bit is added to the existing Linux poll infrastruture, even the existing poll/select system calls will be able to use it. As far as the existing POLLHUP handling, the patch leaves it as is. The pollrdhup-2.6.16.rc5-0.10.diff defines the POLLRDHUP for all the existing archs and sets the bit in the six relevant files. The other attached diff is the simple change required to sys/epoll.h to add the EPOLLRDHUP definition. There is "a stupid program" to test POLLRDHUP delivery here: http://www.xmailserver.org/pollrdhup-test.c It tests poll(2), but since the delivery is same epoll(2) will work equally.

Remove the assumption that driver_register() returns the number of devices bound to the driver. In fact, it returns zero for success or a negative error value. zorro_module_init() used the device count to automatically unregister and unload drivers that found no devices. That might have worked at one time, but has been broken for some time because zorro_register_driver() returned either a negative error or a positive count (never zero).

2006-03-25[PATCH] inotify: lock avoidance with parent watch status in dentryNick Piggin
Previous inotify work avoidance is good when inotify is completely unused, but it breaks down if even a single watch is in place anywhere in the system. Robin Holt notices that udev is one such culprit - it slows down a 512-thread application on a 512 CPU system from 6 seconds to 22 minutes. Solve this by adding a flag in the dentry that tells inotify whether or not its parent inode has a watch on it. Event queueing to parent will skip taking locks if this flag is cleared. Setting and clearing of this flag on all child dentries versus event delivery: this is no in terms of race cases, and that was shown to be equivalent to always performing the check. The essential behaviour is that activity occuring _after_ a watch has been added and _before_ it has been removed, will generate events.
