The readmostly section should end at a cacheline aligned address,
otherwise the last several data might share cachline with other data and
make the readmostly data still have cache bounce.
For example, in ia64, secpath_cachep is the last readmostly data, and it
shares cacheline with init_uts_ns.

Michal reports:
In the framebuffer subsystem the abs() macro is often used as a part of
the calculation of a Manhattan metric, which in turn is used as a measure
of similarity between video modes. The arguments of abs() are sometimes
unsigned numbers. This worked fine until commit a49c59c0 ("Make sure the
value in abs() does not get truncated if it is greater than 2^32:) , which
changed the definition of abs() to prevent truncation. As a result of
this change, in the following piece of code:
u32 a = 0, b = 1;
u32 c = abs(a - b);
'c' will end up with a value of 0xffffffff instead of the expected 0x1.
A problem caused by this change and visible by the end user is that
framebuffer drivers relying on functions from modedb.c will fail to find
high resolution video modes similar to that explicitly requested by the
user if an exact match cannot be found (see e.g.
Fix this by special-casing `long' types within abs().
This patch reduces x86_64 code size a bit - drivers/video/uvesafb.o shrunk
by 15 bytes, presumably because it is doing abs() on 4-byte quantities,
and expanding those to 8-byte longs adds code.
testcase:
#define oldabs(x) ({ \
long __x = (x); \
(__x < 0) ? -__x : __x; \
})
#define newabs(x) ({ \
long ret; \
if (sizeof(x) == sizeof(long)) { \
long __x = (x); \
ret = (__x < 0) ? -__x : __x; \
} else { \
int __x = (x); \
ret = (__x < 0) ? -__x : __x; \
} \
ret; \
})
typedef unsigned int u32;
main()
{
u32 a = 0;
u32 b = 1;
u32 oldc = oldabs(a - b);
u32 newc = newabs(a - b);
printf("%u %u\n", oldc, newc);

See: http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-s-trbl-spec.htm#Q-LINUX-SET-RTC-MMSS
Rather than just removing the message, make it show only once and reduce

This series aims to develop logging facility for enterprise use.
It is important to save kernel messages reliably on enterprise system
because they are helpful for diagnosing system.
This series add kmsg_dump() to the paths loosing kernel messages. The use
case is the following.
[Use case of reboot/poweroff/halt/emergency_restart]
My company has often experienced the followings in our support service.
- Customer's system suddenly reboots.
- Customers ask us to investigate the reason of the reboot.
We recognize the fact itself because boot messages remain in
/var/log/messages. However, we can't investigate the reason why the
system rebooted, because the last messages don't remain. And off course
we can't explain the reason.
We can solve above problem with this patch as follows.
Case1: reboot with command
- We can see "Restarting system with command:" or ""Restarting system.".
Case2: halt with command
- We can see "System halted.".
Case3: poweroff with command
- We can see " Power down.".
Case4: emergency_restart with sysrq.
- We can see "Sysrq:" outputted in __handle_sysrq().
Case5: emergency_restart with softdog.
- We can see "Initiating system reboot" in watchdog_fire().
So, we can distinguish the reason of reboot, poweroff, halt and emergency_restart.
If customer executed reboot command, you may think the customer should
know the fact. However, they often claim they don't execute the command
when they rebooted system by mistake.
No message remains on the current Linux kernel, so we can't show the proof
to the customer. This patch improves this situation.
This patch:
Alters mtdoops and ramoops to perform their actions only for
KMSG_DUMP_PANIC, KMSG_DUMP_OOPS and KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC because they would
like to log crashes only.

The reset command is part of the init sequence and it take effect

The effect of the bug was that the sequence:
set lcd power_state to FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN
set lcd power_state to FB_BLANK_UNBLANK
Did not produced a complete reboot of the LCD which was showing fuzzy
colours.
This was not experienced before implementing correctly all the LCD power
states with the patch [1]. Since before the patch [1] the regulators were
not touched and the LCD shutdown was reached with a register write. After
the patch [1] a complete boot sequence with an initial reset is needed for
the display every time the LCD is powered up.

Extend the LED backlight tirgger driver with an option that allows for
inverting the trigger output polarity.
With the invertion option provided, I (ab)use the backlight trigger for
driving a LED that indicates LCD display blank condtition on my Amstrad
Delta videophone. Since the machine has no dedicated power LED, it was
not possible to distinguish if the display was blanked, or the machine was
turned off, without touching it.
The invert sysfs control is patterned after a similiar function of the GPIO
trigger driver.

Currently the led device name is fetched from the device_type in
I2C_BOARD_INFO which comes from the platform data. This name is in turn
used to create an entry in sysfs.
If there exists two or more lp5521 on a particular platform, the
device_type in I2C_BOARD_INFO has to be the same, else lp5521 driver probe
wont be called and if used so, results in run time warning "cannot create
sysfs with same name" and hence a failure.
The name that is used to create sysfs entry is to be passed by the struct
led_platform_data. Hence adding an element of type const char * and
change in lp5521 driver to use this name in creating the led device if
present else use the name obtained by I2C_BOARD_INFO.

MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS first became available on Westmere Xeon.
It is implemented in all Sandy Bridge processors -- mobile, desktop and server.
It is expected to become increasingly important in subsequent generations.
x86_energy_perf_policy is a user-space utility to set the
hardware energy vs performance policy hint in the processor.
Most systems would benefit from "x86_energy_perf_policy normal"
at system startup, as the hardware default is maximum performance
at the expense of energy efficiency.
See x86_energy_perf_policy.8 man page for more information.
Background:
Linux-2.6.36 added "epb" to /proc/cpuinfo to indicate
if an x86 processor supports MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS,
without actually modifying the MSR.
In March, 2010, Venkatesh Pallipadi proposed a small driver
that programmed MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS, based on
the cpufreq governor in use. It also offered
a boot-time cmdline option to override.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/4/457
But hiding the hardware policy behind the
governor choice was deemed "kinda icky".
In June, 2010, I proposed a generic user/kernel API to
generalize the power/performance policy trade-off.
"RFC: /sys/power/policy_preference"
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/16/399
That is my preference for implementing this capability,
but I received no support on the list.
So in September, 2010, I sent x86_energy_perf_policy.c to LKML,
a user-space utility that scribbles directly to the MSR.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/28/246
Here is that same utility, after responding to some review feedback,
to live in tools/power/, where it is easily found.

turbostat is a Linux tool to observe proper operation
of Intel(R) Turbo Boost Technology.
turbostat displays the actual processor frequency
on x86 processors that include APERF and MPERF MSRs.
Note that turbostat is of limited utility on Linux
kernels 2.6.29 and older, as acpi_cpufreq cleared
APERF/MPERF up through that release.
On Intel Core i3/i5/i7 (Nehalem) and newer processors,
turbostat also displays residency in idle power saving states,
which are necessary for diagnosing any cpuidle issues
that may have an effect on turbo-mode.
See the turbostat.8 man page for example usage.

broute table init hook sets up the "br_should_route_hook" pointer,
which then gets called from br_input.
commit a386f99025
(bridge: add proper RCU annotation to should_route_hook)
introduced a typedef, and then changed this to:
br_should_route_hook_t *rhook;
[..]
rhook = rcu_dereference(br_should_route_hook);
if (*rhook(skb))
problem is that "br_should_route_hook" contains the address of the function,
so calling *rhook() results in kernel panic.

As the mappable portion of the aperture is always a small subset at the
start of the GTT, it is allocated preferentially by drm_mm. This is
useful in case we ever need to map an object later. However, if you have
a large object that can consume the entire mappable region of the
GTT this prevents the batchbuffer from fitting and so causing an error.
Instead allocate all those that require a mapping up front in order to
improve the likelihood of finding sufficient space to bind them.

Rather than evicting an object at random, which is unlikely to alleviate
the memory pressure sufficient to allow us to continue, zap the entire
aperture. That should give the system long enough to recover and reap
some pages from the evicted objects, forestalling the allocation error
for the new object.

Before releasing the lock in order to copy the relocation list from user
pages, we need to drop all the object references as another thread may
usurp and execute another batchbuffer before we reacquire the lock.
However, the code was buggy and failed to clear the list...

The netlink interface to dump the connection tracking table has a race
when entries are deleted at the same time. A customer reported a crash
and the backtrace showed thatctnetlink_dump_table was running while a
conntrack entry was being destroyed.
(see https://bugzilla.vyatta.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6402).
According to RCU documentation, when using hlist_nulls the reader
must handle the case of seeing a deleted entry and not proceed
further down the linked list. The old code would continue
which caused the scan to walk into the free list.
This patch uses locking (rather than RCU) for this operation which
is guaranteed safe, and no longer requires getting reference while
doing dump operation.
