15029285dc [IA64] Handle debug traps in fsys mode
We need to handle debug traps in fsys mode non-fatally.  They can
happen now that we have fsyscalls which contain probe instructions.

6d6e420005 [IA64-SGI] Fix sn_flush_device_kernel & spinlock initialization
This patch separates the sn_flush_device_list struct into kernel and
common (both kernel and PROM accessible) structures.  As it was, if the
size of a spinlock_t changed (due to additional CONFIG options, etc.) the
sal call which populated the sn_flush_device_list structs would erroneously
write data (and cause memory corruption and/or a panic).

This patch does the following:

1.  Removes sn_flush_device_list and adds sn_flush_device_common and
sn_flush_device_kernel.

2.  Adds a new SAL call to populate a sn_flush_device_common struct per
device, not per widget as previously done.

3.  Correctly initializes each device's sn_flush_device_kernel spinlock_t
struct (before it was only doing each widget's first device).

dd29c72771 [ARM] 3257/1: ixp2000: map in scratch and sram
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

For the ixp2000 netdev driver, we need to map in a chunk of SRAM (to
store the transmit and receive descriptors) and the scratch get/put
area (so that we can use the scratchpad rings in the cpu for managing
the descriptors.)  These are the final two mappings needed for the
netdev driver and the last missing piece for the driver in mainline
to work.

67daf5f11f [PATCH] Increase AT_VECTOR_SIZE
On PowerPC, we want to be able to provide an AT_PLATFORM aux table
entry to userspace, so that glibc can choose optimized libraries for
the processor we're running on.  Unfortunately that would be the 21st
aux table entry on powerpc, meaning that the aux table including the
terminating null entry would overflow the mm->saved_auxv[] array,
leading to userland programs segfaulting.

This increases the size of the mm->saved_auxv array to be large enough
to accommodate an AT_PLATFORM entry on powerpc.

7b0ac9cdd4 V4L/DVB (3359): Redesign tuners struct for maximum flexibility
- Tunertype struct redefined to allow one or more tuner_params structs
  per tuner definition, one for each video standard.
- Each tuner_params struct has an element containing an arbitrary
  amount of tuner_ranges.
  (this is needed for dvb tuners - to be handled later)
- A tuner_range may be referenced by multiple tuner_params structs.
  There are many duplicates in here. Reusing tuner_range structs,
  rather than defining new ones for each tuner, will cut down on
  memory usage, and is preferred when possible.
- tunertype struct contains an element, has_tda988x.
  We must set this for all tunertypes that contain a tda988x
  chip, and then we can remove this setting from the various
  card structs.
- Improves tuners array memory usage efficiency.
- Right now, all tuners are using the first tuner_params[] array element
  for analog mode. In the future, we will be merging similar tuner
  definitions together, such that each tuner definition will have a
  tuner_params struct for each available video standard. At that point,
  the tuner_params[] array element will be chosen based on the video
  standard in use.

144b9c135b [PATCH] powerpc: use lwsync in atomics, bitops, lock functions
eieio is only a store - store ordering. When used to order an unlock
operation loads may leak out of the critical region. This is potentially
buggy, one example is if a user wants to atomically read a couple of
values.

We can solve this with an lwsync which orders everything except store - load.

I removed the (now unused) EIEIO_ON_SMP macros and the c versions
isync_on_smp and eieio_on_smp now we dont use them. I also removed some
old comments that were used to identify inline spinlocks in assembly,
they dont make sense now our locks are out of line.

Another interesting thing was that read_unlock was using an eieio even
though the rest of the spinlock code had already been converted to
use lwsync.

3356bb9f7b [PATCH] powerpc: Remove lppaca structure from the PACA
At present the lppaca - the structure shared with the iSeries
hypervisor and phyp - is contained within the PACA, our own low-level
per-cpu structure.  This doesn't have to be so, the patch below
removes it, making a separate array of lppaca structures.

This saves approximately 500*NR_CPUS bytes of image size and kernel
memory, because we don't need aligning gap between the Linux and
hypervisor portions of every PACA.  On the other hand it means an
extra level of dereference in many accesses to the lppaca.

The patch also gets rid of several places where we assign the paca
address to a local variable for no particular reason.

e58c3495e6 [PATCH] powerpc: Cleanup LOADADDR etc. asm macros
This patch consolidates the variety of macros used for loading 32 or
64-bit constants in assembler (LOADADDR, LOADBASE, SET_REG_TO_*).  The
idea is to make the set of macros consistent across 32 and 64 bit and
to make it more obvious which is the appropriate one to use in a given
situation.  The new macros and their semantics are described in the
comments in ppc_asm.h.

In the process, we change several places that were unnecessarily using
immediate loads on ppc64 to use the GOT/TOC.  Likewise we cleanup a
couple of places where we were clumsily subtracting PAGE_OFFSET with
asm instructions to use assemble-time arithmetic or the toreal() macro
instead.

Add support for updating and removing device tree
properties.  Since we hand out pointers to properties with gay
abandon, we can't just free the property storage.  Instead we
move deleted, or the old copy of an updated property, to a

Also note, its not feasable to kref device tree properties.
we call get_property() all over the kernel in a wild variety
of contexts.

One consequence of this change is that we now take a
read_lock(&devtree_lock) when doing get_property().

2e4e6a17af [NETFILTER] x_tables: Abstraction layer for {ip,ip6,arp}_tables
This monster-patch tries to do the best job for unifying the data
structures and backend interfaces for the three evil clones ip_tables,
ip6_tables and arp_tables.  In an ideal world we would never have
allowed this kind of copy+paste programming... but well, our world
isn't (yet?) ideal.

o introduce a new x_tables module
o {ip,arp,ip6}_tables depend on this x_tables module
o registration functions for tables, matches and targets are only
  wrappers around x_tables provided functions
o all matches/targets that are used from ip_tables and ip6_tables
  are now implemented as xt_FOOBAR.c files and provide module aliases
  to ipt_FOOBAR and ip6t_FOOBAR
o header files for xt_matches are in include/linux/netfilter/,
  include/linux/netfilter_{ipv4,ipv6} contains compatibility wrappers
  around the xt_FOOBAR.h headers

Based on this patchset we're going to further unify the code,
gradually getting rid of all the layer 3 specific assumptions.

9fc658763b [PATCH] missing helper - task_stack_page()
Patchset annotates arch/* uses of ->thread_info.  Ones that really are about
access of thread_info of given process are simply switched to
task_thread_info(task); ones that deal with access to objects on stack are
switched to new helper - task_stack_page().  A _lot_ of the latter are
actually open-coded instances of "find where pt_regs are"; those are
consolidated into task_pt_regs(task) (many architectures actually have such
helper already).

Note that these annotations are not mandatory - any code not converted to
these helpers still works.  However, they clean up a lot of places and have
actually caught a number of bugs, so converting out of tree ports would be a
good idea...

As an example of breakage caught by that stuff, see i386 pt_regs mess - we
used to have it open-coded in a bunch of places and when back in April Stas
had fixed a bug in copy_thread(), the rest had been left out of sync.  That
required two followup patches (the latest - just before 2.6.15) _and_ still
had left /proc/*/stat eip field broken.  Try ps -eo eip on i386 and watch the
junk...

This patch:

new helper - task_stack_page(task).  Returns pointer to the memory object
containing task stack; usually thread_info of task sits in the beginning
of that object.

that there is some correlation between two subsequent wakeup events before
we move the task.  Should help random-wakeup workloads on large SMP

198e2f1811 [PATCH] scheduler cache-hot-autodetect
)

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This is the latest version of the scheduler cache-hot-auto-tune patch.

The first problem was that detection time scaled with O(N^2), which is
unacceptable on larger SMP and NUMA systems. To solve this:

- I've added a 'domain distance' function, which is used to cache
  measurement results. Each distance is only measured once. This means
  that e.g. on NUMA distances of 0, 1 and 2 might be measured, on HT
  distances 0 and 1, and on SMP distance 0 is measured. The code walks
  the domain tree to determine the distance, so it automatically follows
  whatever hierarchy an architecture sets up. This cuts down on the boot
  time significantly and removes the O(N^2) limit. The only assumption
  is that migration costs can be expressed as a function of domain
  distance - this covers the overwhelming majority of existing systems,
  and is a good guess even for more assymetric systems.

  [ People hacking systems that have assymetries that break this
    assumption (e.g. different CPU speeds) should experiment a bit with
    the cpu_distance() function. Adding a ->migration_distance factor to
    the domain structure would be one possible solution - but lets first
    see the problem systems, if they exist at all. Lets not overdesign. ]

Another problem was that only a single cache-size was used for measuring
the cost of migration, and most architectures didnt set that variable
up. Furthermore, a single cache-size does not fit NUMA hierarchies with
L3 caches and does not fit HT setups, where different CPUs will often
have different 'effective cache sizes'. To solve this problem:

- Instead of relying on a single cache-size provided by the platform and
  sticking to it, the code now auto-detects the 'effective migration
  cost' between two measured CPUs, via iterating through a wide range of
  cachesizes. The code searches for the maximum migration cost, which
  occurs when the working set of the test-workload falls just below the
  'effective cache size'. I.e. real-life optimized search is done for
  the maximum migration cost, between two real CPUs.

  This, amongst other things, has the positive effect hat if e.g. two
  CPUs share a L2/L3 cache, a different (and accurate) migration cost
  will be found than between two CPUs on the same system that dont share
  any caches.

(The reliable measurement of migration costs is tricky - see the source
for details.)

Furthermore i've added various boot-time options to override/tune
migration behavior.

Firstly, there's a blanket override for autodetection:

	migration_cost=1000,2000,3000

will override the depth 0/1/2 values with 1msec/2msec/3msec values.

Secondly, there's a global factor that can be used to increase (or
decrease) the autodetected values:

	migration_factor=120

will increase the autodetected values by 20%. This option is useful to
tune things in a workload-dependent way - e.g. if a workload is
cache-insensitive then CPU utilization can be maximized by specifying
migration_factor=0.

I've tested the autodetection code quite extensively on x86, on 3
P3/Xeon/2MB, and the autodetected values look pretty good:

Dual Celeron (128K L2 cache):

 ---------------------
 migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 131072, cpu: 467 MHz):
 ---------------------
           [00]    [01]
 [00]:     -     1.7(1)
 [01]:   1.7(1)    -
 ---------------------
 cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (0) 1.7 (1784008)
 ---------------------

Here the slow memory subsystem dominates system performance, and even
though caches are small, the migration cost is 1.7 msecs.

Dual HT P4 (512K L2 cache):

 ---------------------
 migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 524288, cpu: 2379 MHz):
 ---------------------
           [00]    [01]    [02]    [03]
 [00]:     -     0.4(1)  0.0(0)  0.4(1)
 [01]:   0.4(1)    -     0.4(1)  0.0(0)
 [02]:   0.0(0)  0.4(1)    -     0.4(1)
 [03]:   0.4(1)  0.0(0)  0.4(1)    -
 ---------------------
 cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (33900) 0.4 (448514)
 ---------------------

Here it can be seen that there is no migration cost between two HT
siblings (CPU#0/2 and CPU#1/3 are separate physical CPUs). A fast memory
system makes inter-physical-CPU migration pretty cheap: 0.4 msecs.

8-way P3/Xeon [2MB L2 cache]:

 ---------------------
 cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (0) 19.2 (19281756)
 ---------------------

This one has huge caches and a relatively slow memory subsystem - so the
migration cost is 19 msecs.

5388fb1025 [PATCH] powerpc: Avoid potential FP corruption with preempt and UP
Heikki Lindholm pointed out that there was a potential race with the
lazy CPU state (FP, VR, EVR) stuff if preempt is enabled.  The race
is that in the process of restoring FP state on sigreturn, the task
gets preempted by a user task that wants to use the FPU.  It will take
an FP unavailable exception, which will write the current FPU state
to the thread_struct, overwriting the values which sigreturn has
stored.  Note that this can only happen on UP since we don't implement
lazy CPU state on SMP.

The fix is to flush the lazy CPU state before updating the
thread_struct.  To do this we re-use the flush_lazy_cpu_state()
function from process.c.

05b3cbd8bb [PATCH] x86_64: Early initialization of cpu_to_node
Patch enables early intialization of cpu_to_node.
apicid_to_node is built by reading the SRAT table, from acpi_numa_init with
ACPI_NUMA and k8_scan_nodes with K8_NUMA.
x86_cpu_to_apicid is built by parsing the ACPI MADT table, from acpi_boot_init.
We combine these two tables and setup cpu_to_node.

Early intialization helps the static per_cpu_areas in getting pages from
correct node.

Change since last release:
Do not initialize early init_cpu_to_node for faking node cases.

Patch tested on TYAN dual core 4P board with K8 only, ACPI_NUMA.
Tested on EM64T NUMA. Also tested with numa=off, numa=fake, and  running
a kernel compiled with NUMA on a regular EM64 2 way SMP.

17a941d854 [PATCH] x86_64: Use function pointers to call DMA mapping functions
AK: I hacked Muli's original patch a lot and there were a lot
of changes - all bugs are probably to blame on me now.
There were also some changes in the fall back behaviour
for swiotlb - in particular it doesn't try to use GFP_DMA
now anymore. Also all DMA mapping operations use the
same core dma_alloc_coherent code with proper fallbacks now.
And various other changes and cleanups.

Known problems: iommu=force swiotlb=force together breaks
                needs more testing.

This patch cleans up x86_64's DMA mapping dispatching code. Right now
we have three possible IOMMU types: AGP GART, swiotlb and nommu, and
in the future we will also have Xen's x86_64 swiotlb and other HW
IOMMUs for x86_64. In order to support all of them cleanly, this
patch:

- introduces a struct dma_mapping_ops with function pointers for each
  of the DMA mapping operations of gart (AMD HW IOMMU), swiotlb
  (software IOMMU) and nommu (no IOMMU).

- gets rid of:

  if (swiotlb)
      return swiotlb_xxx();

- PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS is now checked against the dma_ops being set
This makes swiotlb faster by avoiding double copying in some cases.

This adds a new notifier chain that is called with IDLE_START
when a CPU goes idle and IDLE_END when it goes out of idle.
The context can be idle thread or interrupt context.

Since we cannot rely on MONITOR/MWAIT existing the idle
end check currently has to be done in all interrupt
handlers.

They were originally inspired by the similar s390 implementation.

They have a variety of applications:
- They will be needed for CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ
- They can be used for oprofile to fix up the missing time
in idle when performance counters don't tick.
- They can be used for better C state management in ACPI
- They could be used for microstate accounting.

This is just infrastructure so far, no users.

7180d4fb83 [PATCH] x86_64: Fix 64bit FXSAVE encoding
The separation of the rex64 prefix (on fxsave/fxrstor) by way of using
a semicolon resulted in the prefix not always taking effect (because
when extended registers are needed for addressing, another rex prefix
would have been generated by the compiler), thus (depending on the
build) resulting in eventually getting 32-bit saves and/or restores.

e992867445 [PATCH] x86_64: Generalize DMI and enable for x86-64
Some people need it now on 64bit so reuse the i386 code for
x86-64. This will be also useful for future bug workarounds.

It is a bit simplified there because there is no need
to do it very early on x86-64. This means it doesn't need
early ioremap et.al. We run it as a core initcall right now.

I hope it's not needed for early setup.

I added a general CONFIG_DMI symbol in case IA64 or someone
else wants to reuse the code later too.

I noticed that some lowlevel send_IPI_mask helpers had a hotplug/preempt

...
cpumask_t mask = cpu_online_map;

cpu_clear(cpu, mask);
...

But then i realised that there is no need for these lowlevel functions to
be going through all this trouble when all the callers are already made

This
- switches the INT3 handler to run on an IST stack (to cope with
  breakpoints set by a kernel debugger on places where the kernel's
  %gs base hasn't been set up, yet); the IST stack used is shared with
  the INT1 handler's
[AK: this also allows setting a kprobe on the interrupt/exception entry
points]
- allows nesting of INT1/INT3 handlers so that one can, with a kernel
  debugger, debug (at least) the user-mode portions of the INT1/INT3
  handling; the nesting isn't actively enabled here since a kernel-
  debugger-free kernel doesn't need it

7a0268fa1a [PATCH] powerpc/64: per cpu data optimisations
The current ppc64 per cpu data implementation is quite slow. eg:

        lhz 11,18(13)           /* smp_processor_id() */
        ld 9,.LC63-.LCTOC1(30)  /* per_cpu__variable_name */
        ld 8,.LC61-.LCTOC1(30)  /* __per_cpu_offset */
        sldi 11,11,3            /* form index into __per_cpu_offset */
        mr 10,9
        ldx 9,11,8              /* __per_cpu_offset[smp_processor_id()] */
        ldx 0,10,9              /* load per cpu data */

5 loads for something that is supposed to be fast, pretty awful. One
reason for the large number of loads is that we have to synthesize 2
64bit constants (per_cpu__variable_name and __per_cpu_offset).

By putting __per_cpu_offset into the paca we can avoid the 2 loads
associated with it:

        ld 11,56(13)            /* paca->data_offset */
        ld 9,.LC59-.LCTOC1(30)  /* per_cpu__variable_name */
        ldx 0,9,11              /* load per cpu data

Longer term we can should be able to do even better than 3 loads.
If per_cpu__variable_name wasnt a 64bit constant and paca->data_offset
was in a register we could cut it down to one load. A suggestion from
Rusty is to use gcc's __thread extension here. In order to do this we
would need to free up r13 (the __thread register and where the paca
currently is). So far Ive had a few unsuccessful attempts at doing that :)

The patch also allocates per cpu memory node local on NUMA machines.
This patch from Rusty has been sitting in my queue _forever_ but stalled
when I hit the compiler bug. Sorry about that.

Finally I also only allocate per cpu data for possible cpus, which comes
straight out of the x86-64 port. On a pseries kernel (with NR_CPUS == 128)
and 4 possible cpus we see some nice gains:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers cached
Mem:       4012228     212860    3799368          0          0 162424

             total       used       free     shared    buffers cached
Mem:       4016200     212984    3803216          0          0 162424

A saving of 3.75MB. Quite nice for smaller machines. Note: we now have
to be careful of per cpu users that touch data for !possible cpus.

At this stage it might be worth making the NUMA and possible cpu
optimisations generic, but per cpu init is done so early we have to be
careful that all architectures have their possible map setup correctly.

I made udbg_early_init() a static inline because otherwise GCC is to daft to

3960f2faaf [PATCH] m68knommu: fix find_next_zero_bit in bitops.h
We're starting a number of big applications (memory footprint app.
1MByte) on our Arcturus uC5272.  Therefore memory fragmentation is a
real pain for us.  We've switched to uClinux-2.4.27-uc1 and found that
page_alloc2 fragments the memory heavily.

Digging into it we found a bug in the find_next_zero_bit function in the
m68knommu/bitops.h file.  if the size isn't a multiple of 32 than the
upper bits of the last word to be searched should be masked.  But the
functions masks the lower bits of the last word because it uses a right
shift instead of a left shift operator.

69a0b31579 [PATCH] rcu: join rcu_ctrlblk and rcu_state
This patch moves rcu_state into the rcu_ctrlblk. I think there
are no reasons why we should have 2 different variables to control
rcu state. Every user of rcu_state has also "rcu_ctrlblk *rcp" in
the parameter list.

c8d52465f9 [PATCH] Work around ppc64 compiler bug
In the process of optimising our per cpu data code, I found a ppc64
compiler bug that has been around forever. Basically the current
RELOC_HIDE can end up trashing r30. Details of the bug can be found at

  http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25572

This bug is present in all compilers before 4.1. It is masked by the
fact that our current per cpu data code is inefficient and causes
other loads that end up marking r30 as used.

A workaround identified by Alan Modra is to use the =r asm constraint
instead of =g.

33f0f88f1c [PATCH] TTY layer buffering revamp
The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by
serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a
while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing
drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out.

This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the
normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the
behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the
kernel cycles between them as before.

When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the
buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means
that we can operate at higher speeds reliably.

For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and
especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific
code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be
removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port
people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically
operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud).

Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer
overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards
of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That
fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow.

The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is
used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room
except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is
read. We thus make it a variable not a function call.

I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be
watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes.

Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of
buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real.  That means a lot of
the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any
more.

Description:

tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does
tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification].  It
does now also return the number of chars inserted

There are also

tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len)

which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space
found.  This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to
transfer.

and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len)

to insert a string of characters and flags

For a smart interface the usual code is

    len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says);
    tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len);

More description!

At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty.  This is causing a
lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed
and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments)

I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of
dynamically allocated buffers.  This allows both for old style "byte I/O"
devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of
data suddenely materialise and need storing.

So far so good.  Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*.  Several of them also
call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides.  This will all
break.  Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API
but others need more.

At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will
be needed now is a good time to say

 int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size)

Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be
zero).  At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change.
Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative.  (ie if you
call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space.  The
other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a
more efficient way when you know block sizes.

 int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag)

As before insert a character if there is room.  Now returns 1 for success, 0
for failure.

 int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len)

Insert a block of non error characters.  Returns the number inserted.

 int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len)

Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added.  Returns a buffer
pointer in strptr and the length available.  This allows for hardware that
needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.
