2005-06-25[PATCH] kexec: x86_64: add CONFIG_PHYSICAL_STARTEric W. Biederman
For one kernel to report a crash another kernel has created we need to have 2 kernels loaded simultaneously in memory. To accomplish this the two kernels need to built to run at different physical addresses. This patch adds the CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option to the x86_64 kernel so we can do just that. You need to know what you are doing and the ramifications are before changing this value, and most users won't care so I have made it depend on CONFIG_EMBEDDED bzImage kernels will work and run at a different address when compiled with this option but they will still load at 1MB. If you need a kernel loaded at a different address as well you need to boot a vmlinux.

2005-06-25[PATCH] kexec: vmlinux: fix physical addressesEric W. Biederman
In vmlinux.lds.h the code is carefull to define every section so vmlinux properly reports the correct physical load address of code, as well as it's virtual address. The new SECURITY_INIT definition fails to follow that convention and and causes incorrect physical address to appear in the vmlinux if there are any security initcalls. This patch updates the SECURITY_INIT to follow the convention in the rest of the file.

2005-06-25[PATCH] kexec: x86_64: restore apic virtual wire mode on shutdownEric W. Biederman
When coming out of apic mode attempt to set the appropriate apic back into virtual wire mode. This improves on previous versions of this patch by by never setting bot the local apic and the ioapic into veritual wire mode. This code looks at data from the mptable to see if an ioapic has an ExtInt input to make this decision. A future improvement is to figure out which apic or ioapic was in virtual wire mode at boot time and to remember it. That is potentially a more accurate method, of selecting which apic to place in virutal wire mode.

2005-06-25[PATCH] sched: voluntary kernel preemptionIngo Molnar
This patch adds a new preemption model: 'Voluntary Kernel Preemption'. The 3 models can be selected from a new menu: (X) No Forced Preemption (Server) ( ) Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop) ( ) Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop) we still default to the stock (Server) preemption model. Voluntary preemption works by adding a cond_resched() (reschedule-if-needed) call to every might_sleep() check. It is lighter than CONFIG_PREEMPT - at the cost of not having as tight latencies. It represents a different latency/complexity/overhead tradeoff. It has no runtime impact at all if disabled. Here are size stats that show how the various preemption models impact the kernel's size: text data bss dec hex filename 3618774 547184 179896 4345854 424ffe vmlinux.stock 3626406 547184 179896 4353486 426dce vmlinux.voluntary +0.2% 3748414 548640 179896 4476950 445016 vmlinux.preempt +3.5% voluntary-preempt is +0.2% of .text, preempt is +3.5%. This feature has been tested for many months by lots of people (and it's also included in the RHEL4 distribution and earlier variants were in Fedora as well), and it's intended for users and distributions who dont want to use full-blown CONFIG_PREEMPT for one reason or another.

2005-06-25[PATCH] Dynamic sched domains: sched changesDinakar Guniguntala
The following patches add dynamic sched domains functionality that was extensively discussed on lkml and lse-tech. I would like to see this added to -mm o The main advantage with this feature is that it ensures that the scheduler load balacing code only balances against the cpus that are in the sched domain as defined by an exclusive cpuset and not all of the cpus in the system. This removes any overhead due to load balancing code trying to pull tasks outside of the cpu exclusive cpuset only to be prevented by the tasks' cpus_allowed mask. o cpu exclusive cpusets are useful for servers running orthogonal workloads such as RT applications requiring low latency and HPC applications that are throughput sensitive o It provides a new API partition_sched_domains in sched.c that makes dynamic sched domains possible. o cpu_exclusive cpusets sets are now associated with a sched domain. Which means that the users can dynamically modify the sched domains through the cpuset file system interface o ia64 sched domain code has been updated to support this feature as well o Currently, this does not support hotplug. (However some of my tests indicate hotplug+preempt is currently broken) o I have tested it extensively on x86. o This should have very minimal impact on performance as none of the fast paths are affected Signed-off-by: Dinakar Guniguntala <dino@in.ibm.com> Acked-by: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> Acked-by: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Acked-by: Matthew Dobson <colpatch@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-06-25[PATCH] sched: cleanup context switch lockingNick Piggin
Instead of requiring architecture code to interact with the scheduler's locking implementation, provide a couple of defines that can be used by the architecture to request runqueue unlocked context switches, and ask for interrupts to be enabled over the context switch. Also replaces the "switch_lock" used by these architectures with an oncpu flag (note, not a potentially slow bitflag). This eliminates one bus locked memory operation when context switching, and simplifies the task_running function.

2005-06-25[PATCH] sched: balance on forkNick Piggin
Reimplement the balance on exec balancing to be sched-domains aware. Use this to also do balance on fork balancing. Make x86_64 do balance on fork over the NUMA domain. The problem that the non sched domains aware blancing became apparent on dual core, multi socket opterons. What we want is for the new tasks to be sent to a different socket, but more often than not, we would first load up our sibling core, or fill two cores of a single remote socket before selecting a new one. This gives large improvements to STREAM on such systems.

Allow each interval to be chosen by sending a parameter to source_load and target_load. 0 is instantaneous, idx > 0 returns a decaying average with the most recent sample weighted at 2^(idx-1). To a maximum of 3 (could be easily increased). So generally a higher number will result in more conservative balancing.

2005-06-25[PATCH] s390: debug feature changesMichael Holzheu
This patch changes the memory allocation method for the s390 debug feature. Trace buffers had been allocated using the get_free_pages() function before. Therefore it was not possible to get big memory areas in a running system due to memory fragmentation. Now the trace buffers are subdivided into several subbuffers with pagesize. Therefore it is now possible to allocate more memory for the trace buffers and more trace records can be written. In addition to that, dynamic specification of the size of the trace buffers is implemented. It is now possible to change the size of a trace buffer using a new debugfs file instance. When writing a number into this file, the trace buffer size is changed to 'number * pagesize'. In the past all the traces could be obtained from userspace by accessing files in the "proc" filesystem. Now with debugfs we have a new filesystem which should be used for debugging purposes. This patch moves the debug feature from procfs to debugfs. Since the interface of debug_register() changed, all device drivers, which use the debug feature had to be adjusted.

2005-06-25[PATCH] x86_64: Dont use broadcast shortcut to make it cpu hotplug safe.Ashok Raj
Broadcast IPI's provide un-expected behaviour for cpu hotplug. CPU's in offline state also end up receiving the IPI. Once the cpus become online they receive these stale IPI's which are bad and introduce unexpected behaviour. This is easily avoided by not sending a broadcast and addressing just the CPU's in online map. Doing prelim cycle counts it appears there is no big overhead and numbers seem around 0x3000-0x3900 on an average on x86 and x86_64 systems with CPUS running 3G, both for broadcast and mask version of the API's. The shortcuts are useful only for flat mode (where the perf shows no degradation), and in cluster mode, its unicast anyway. Its simpler to just not use broadcast anymore.

2005-06-25[PATCH] i386 CPU hotplugZwane Mwaikambo
(The i386 CPU hotplug patch provides infrastructure for some work which Pavel is doing as well as for ACPI S3 (suspend-to-RAM) work which Li Shaohua <shaohua.li@intel.com> is doing) The following provides i386 architecture support for safely unregistering and registering processors during runtime, updated for the current -mm tree. In order to avoid dumping cpu hotplug code into kernel/irq/* i dropped the cpu_online check in do_IRQ() by modifying fixup_irqs(). The difference being that on cpu offline, fixup_irqs() is called before we clear the cpu from cpu_online_map and a long delay in order to ensure that we never have any queued external interrupts on the APICs. There are additional changes to s390 and ppc64 to account for this change. 1) Add CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU 2) disable local APIC timer on dead cpus. 3) Disable preempt around irq balancing to prevent CPUs going down. 4) Print irq stats for all possible cpus. 5) Debugging check for interrupts on offline cpus. 6) Hacky fixup_irqs() to redirect irqs when cpus go off/online. 7) play_dead() for offline cpus to spin inside. 8) Handle offline cpus set in flush_tlb_others(). 9) Grab lock earlier in smp_call_function() to prevent CPUs going down. 10) Implement __cpu_disable() and __cpu_die(). 11) Enable local interrupts in cpu_enable() after fixup_irqs() 12) Don't fiddle with NMI on dead cpu, but leave intact on other cpus. 13) Program IRQ affinity whilst cpu is still in cpu_online_map on offline.

2005-06-24[PATCH] ARM: 2748/1: ixp2000 implementation of the iomap apiLennert Buytenhek
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek A number of ixp2000 models have a bug where the byte lanes for PCI I/O transactions are swapped. We already work around this in our versions of {in,out}{b,w,l}, but we also need to perform these workarounds in a custom implementation of the new iomap API, provided in this patch.

2005-06-24[PATCH] ARM: 2747/1: allow platforms to provide their own iomap implementationLennert Buytenhek
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek This patch conditionalises the io{read,write}{8,16,32} defines and the prototypes for ioport_map/ioport_unmap in asm-arm/io.h on ioread8 not already having been defined. This is done so that platforms can provide their own implementation of the iomap API, ixp2000 for example needs this.

2005-06-24[PATCH] ARM: 2745/1: Fix IXP4xx debug macrosDeepak Saxena
Patch from Deepak Saxena Current IXP4xx debug macros do not work in the small window between the MMU being enabled and the call to map_io() b/c the standard peripheral mapping is not properly setup for use with the low-level debug code. This patch creates a new section-aligned mapping for the UART specifically for use with the debug macros. Signed-off-by: Deepak Saxena Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2005-06-24[PATCH] ARM: 2744/1: ixp2000 gpio irq supportLennert Buytenhek
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek This patch cleans up the ixp2000 gpio irq code and implements the set_irq_type method for gpio irqs so that users can select for which events (falling edge/rising edge/level low/level high) on the gpio pin they want the corresponding gpio irq to be triggered.

2005-06-24Add "memory" clobbers to the x86 inline asm of strncmp and friendsLinus Torvalds
They don't actually clobber memory, but gcc doesn't even know they _read_ memory, so can apparently re-order memory accesses around them. Which obviously does the wrong thing if the memory access happens to change the memory that the compare function is accessing.. Verified to fix a strange boot problem by Jens Axboe.
