2008-02-08SMBIOS/DMI: add type 41 = Onboard Devices Extended InformationWim Van Sebroeck
From version 2.6 of the SMBIOS standard, type 10 (On Board Devices Information) becomes obsolete. The reason for this is that no further fields can be added to this structure without adversely affecting existing software's ability to properly parse the data. Therefore type 41 (Onboard Devices Extended Information) was added. The structure is as follows: struct smbios_type_41 { u8 type; u8 length; u16 handle; u8 reference_designation_string; u8 device_type; /* same device type as in type 10 */ u8 device_type_instance; u16 segment_group_number; u8 bus_number; u8 device_function_number; }; For more info: http://www.dmtf.org/standards/smbios Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be> Cc: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Cc: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> Cc: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Cc: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-02-08aout: suppress A.OUT library support if !CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUTDavid Howells
Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set. Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case. Not only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either. To make this work, this patch also does the following: (1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT. (2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT core dumping code. (3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline. This is then included only where needed. This means that this bit of arch code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than the core kernel. (4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not needed) and FRV. This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT format is available.

2008-02-08pid: Extend/Fix pid_vnrEric W. Biederman
pid_vnr returns the user space pid with respect to the pid namespace the struct pid was allocated in. What we want before we return a pid to user space is the user space pid with respect to the pid namespace of current. pid_vnr is a very nice optimization but because it isn't quite what we want it is easy to use pid_vnr at times when we aren't certain the struct pid was allocated in our pid namespace. Currently this describes at least tiocgpgrp and tiocgsid in ttyio.c the parent process reported in the core dumps and the parent process in get_signal_to_deliver. So unless the performance impact is huge having an interface that does what we want instead of always what we want should be much more reliable and much less error prone. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2008-02-08fix group stop with exit raceOleg Nesterov
do_signal_stop() counts all sub-thread and sets ->group_stop_count accordingly. Every thread should decrement ->group_stop_count and stop, the last one should notify the parent. However a sub-thread can exit before it notices the signal_pending(), or it may be somewhere in do_exit() already. In that case the group stop never finishes properly. Note: this is a minimal fix, we can add some optimizations later. Say we can return quickly if thread_group_empty(). Also, we can move some signal related code from exit_notify() to exit_signals().

2008-02-08IPC: consolidate sem_exit_ns(), msg_exit_ns() and shm_exit_ns()Pierre Peiffer
sem_exit_ns(), msg_exit_ns() and shm_exit_ns() are all called when an ipc_namespace is released to free all ipcs of each type. But in fact, they do the same thing: they loop around all ipcs to free them individually by calling a specific routine. This patch proposes to consolidate this by introducing a common function, free_ipcs(), that do the job. The specific routine to call on each individual ipcs is passed as parameter. For this, these ipc-specific 'free' routines are reworked to take a generic 'struct ipc_perm' as parameter.

2008-02-08IPC: make struct ipc_ids static in ipc_namespacePierre Peiffer
Each ipc_namespace contains a table of 3 pointers to struct ipc_ids (3 for msg, sem and shm, structure used to store all ipcs) These 'struct ipc_ids' are dynamically allocated for each icp_namespace as the ipc_namespace itself (for the init namespace, they are initialized with pointers to static variables instead) It is so for historical reason: in fact, before the use of idr to store the ipcs, the ipcs were stored in tables of variable length, depending of the maximum number of ipc allowed. Now, these 'struct ipc_ids' have a fixed size. As they are allocated in any cases for each new ipc_namespace, there is no gain of memory in having them allocated separately of the struct ipc_namespace. This patch proposes to make this table static in the struct ipc_namespace. Thus, we can allocate all in once and get rid of all the code needed to allocate and free these ipc_ids separately.

2008-02-08proc: fix ->open'less usage due to ->proc_fops flipAlexey Dobriyan
Typical PDE creation code looks like: pde = create_proc_entry("foo", 0, NULL); if (pde) pde->proc_fops = &foo_proc_fops; Notice that PDE is first created, only then ->proc_fops is set up to final value. This is a problem because right after creation a) PDE is fully visible in /proc , and b) ->proc_fops are proc_file_operations which do not have ->open callback. So, it's possible to ->read without ->open (see one class of oopses below). The fix is new API called proc_create() which makes sure ->proc_fops are set up before gluing PDE to main tree.

2008-02-08namespaces: move the IPC namespace under IPC_NS optionPavel Emelyanov
Currently the IPC namespace management code is spread over the ipc/*.c files. I moved this code into ipc/namespace.c file which is compiled out when needed. The linux/ipc_namespace.h file is used to store the prototypes of the functions in namespace.c and the stubs for NAMESPACES=n case. This is done so, because the stub for copy_ipc_namespace requires the knowledge of the CLONE_NEWIPC flag, which is in sched.h. But the linux/ipc.h file itself in included into many many .c files via the sys.h->sem.h sequence so adding the sched.h into it will make all these .c depend on sched.h which is not that good. On the other hand the knowledge about the namespaces stuff is required in 4 .c files only. Besides, this patch compiles out some auxiliary functions from ipc/sem.c, msg.c and shm.c files. It turned out that moving these functions into namespaces.c is not that easy because they use many other calls and macros from the original file. Moving them would make this patch complicated. On the other hand all these functions can be consolidated, so I will send a separate patch doing this a bit later.

2008-02-08hugetlb: add locking for overcommit sysctlNishanth Aravamudan
When I replaced hugetlb_dynamic_pool with nr_overcommit_hugepages I used proc_doulongvec_minmax() directly. However, hugetlb.c's locking rules require that all counter modifications occur under the hugetlb_lock. Add a callback into the hugetlb code similar to the one for nr_hugepages. Grab the lock around the manipulation of nr_overcommit_hugepages in proc_doulongvec_minmax().

2008-02-07SLUB: Support for performance statisticsChristoph Lameter
The statistics provided here allow the monitoring of allocator behavior but at the cost of some (minimal) loss of performance. Counters are placed in SLUB's per cpu data structure. The per cpu structure may be extended by the statistics to grow larger than one cacheline which will increase the cache footprint of SLUB. There is a compile option to enable/disable the inclusion of the runtime statistics and its off by default. The slabinfo tool is enhanced to support these statistics via two options: -D Switches the line of information displayed for a slab from size mode to activity mode. -A Sorts the slabs displayed by activity. This allows the display of the slabs most important to the performance of a certain load. -r Report option will report detailed statistics on Example (tbench load): slabinfo -AD ->Shows the most active slabs Name Objects Alloc Free %Fast skbuff_fclone_cache 33 111953835 111953835 99 99 :0000192 2666 5283688 5281047 99 99 :0001024 849 5247230 5246389 83 83 vm_area_struct 1349 119642 118355 91 22 :0004096 15 66753 66751 98 98 :0000064 2067 25297 23383 98 78 dentry 10259 28635 18464 91 45 :0000080 11004 18950 8089 98 98 :0000096 1703 12358 10784 99 98 :0000128 762 10582 9875 94 18 :0000512 184 9807 9647 95 81 :0002048 479 9669 9195 83 65 anon_vma 777 9461 9002 99 71 kmalloc-8 6492 9981 5624 99 97 :0000768 258 7174 6931 58 15 So the skbuff_fclone_cache is of highest importance for the tbench load.

Deactivate: Statistics how slabs were deactivated. Shows how they were put onto the partial list. In general fastpath is very good. Slowpath without partial list processing is also desirable. Any touching of partial list uses node specific locks which may potentially cause list lock contention. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>
2008-02-07SLUB: Use unique end pointer for each slab page.Christoph Lameter
We use a NULL pointer on freelists to signal that there are no more objects. However the NULL pointers of all slabs match in contrast to the pointers to the real objects which are in different ranges for different slab pages. Change the end pointer to be a pointer to the first object and set bit 0. Every slab will then have a different end pointer. This is necessary to ensure that end markers can be matched to the source slab during cmpxchg_local. Bring back the use of the mapping field by SLUB since we would otherwise have to call a relatively expensive function page_address() in __slab_alloc(). Use of the mapping field allows avoiding a call to page_address() in various other functions as well. There is no need to change the page_mapping() function since bit 0 is set on the mapping as also for anonymous pages. page_mapping(slab_page) will therefore still return NULL although the mapping field is overloaded.
