      [PATCH] Serial: Split 8250 port table (part 2) · 026d02a2
      Russell King authored
      
      
      Remove legacy ISA serial ports for Accent, Boca, Fourport, Hub6 and MCA
      from the architecture specific serial.h include.
      
      The only ports which remain in asm-*/serial.h are the platform specific
      entries.  These should really be converted by platform maintainers to
      use a platform device, such as can be found in
      arch/arm/mach-footbridge/isa.c

      [PATCH] PCI: DMA bursting advice · e24c2d96
      David S. Miller authored
      
      
      After seeing, at best, "guesses" as to the following kind
      of information in several drivers, I decided that we really
      need a way for platforms to specifically give advice in this
      area for what works best with their PCI controller implementation.
      
      Basically, this new interface gives DMA bursting advice on
      PCI.  There are three forms of the advice:
      
      1) Burst as much as possible, it is not necessary to end bursts
         on some particular boundary for best performance.
      
      2) Burst on some byte count multiple.  A DMA burst to some multiple of
         number of bytes may be done, but it is important to end the burst
         on an exact multiple for best performance.
      
         The best example of this I am aware of are the PPC64 PCI
         controllers, where if you end a burst mid-cacheline then
         chip has to refetch the data and the IOMMU translations
         which hurts performance a lot.
      
      3) Burst on a single byte count multiple.  Bursts shall end
         exactly on the next multiple boundary for best performance.
      
         Sparc64 and Alpha's PCI controllers operate this way.  They
         disconnect any device which tries to burst across a cacheline
         boundary.
      
         Actually, newer sparc64 PCI controllers do not have this behavior.
         That is why the "pdev" is passed into the interface, so I can
         add code later to check which PCI controller the system is using
         and give advice accordingly.

      [PATCH] seccomp: tsc disable · ffaa8bd6
      Andrea Arcangeli authored
      
      
      I believe at least for seccomp it's worth to turn off the tsc, not just for
      HT but for the L2 cache too.  So it's up to you, either you turn it off
      completely (which isn't very nice IMHO) or I recommend to apply this below
      patch.
      
      This has been tested successfully on x86-64 against current cogito
      repository (i686 compiles so I didn't bother testing ;).  People selling
      the cpu through cpushare may appreciate this bit for a peace of mind.
      
      There's no way to get any timing info anymore with this applied
      (gettimeofday is forbidden of course).  The seccomp environment is
      completely deterministic so it can't be allowed to get timing info, it has
      to be deterministic so in the future I can enable a computing mode that
      does a parallel computing for each task with server side transparent
      checkpointing and verification that the output is the same from all the 2/3
      seller computers for each task, without the buyer even noticing (for now
      the verification is left to the buyer client side and there's no
      checkpointing, since that would require more kernel changes to track the
      dirty bits but it'll be easy to extend once the basic mode is finished).
      
      Eliminating a cold-cache read of the cr4 global variable will save one
      cacheline during the tlb flush while making the code per-cpu-safe at the
      same time.  Thanks to Mikael Pettersson for noticing the tlb flush wasn't
      per-cpu-safe.
      
      The global tlb flush can run from irq (IPI calling do_flush_tlb_all) but
      it'll be transparent to the switch_to code since the IPI won't make any
      change to the cr4 contents from the point of view of the interrupted code
      and since it's now all per-cpu stuff, it will not race.  So no need to
      disable irqs in switch_to slow path.

      This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
      v3).  It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
      aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes.  It
      supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set
      directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls.  The latter closely mimic
      set/getpriority.
      
      This import is based on my latest from -mm.

      [PATCH] x86_64 specific function return probes · 73649dab
      Rusty Lynch authored
      
      
      The following patch adds the x86_64 architecture specific implementation
      for function return probes.
      
      Function return probes is a mechanism built on top of kprobes that allows
      a caller to register a handler to be called when a given function exits.
      For example, to instrument the return path of sys_mkdir:
      
      static int sys_mkdir_exit(struct kretprobe_instance *i, struct pt_regs *regs)
      {
      	printk("sys_mkdir exited\n");
      	return 0;
      }
      static struct kretprobe return_probe = {
      	.handler = sys_mkdir_exit,
      };
      
      <inside setup function>
      
      return_probe.kp.addr = (kprobe_opcode_t *) kallsyms_lookup_name("sys_mkdir");
      if (register_kretprobe(&return_probe)) {
      	printk(KERN_DEBUG "Unable to register return probe!\n");
      	/* do error path */
      }
      
      <inside cleanup function>
      unregister_kretprobe(&return_probe);
      
      The way this works is that:
      
      * At system initialization time, kernel/kprobes.c installs a kprobe
        on a function called kretprobe_trampoline() that is implemented in
        the arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c  (More on this later)
      
      * When a return probe is registered using register_kretprobe(),
        kernel/kprobes.c will install a kprobe on the first instruction of the
        targeted function with the pre handler set to arch_prepare_kretprobe()
        which is implemented in arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c.
      
      * arch_prepare_kretprobe() will prepare a kretprobe instance that stores:
        - nodes for hanging this instance in an empty or free list
        - a pointer to the return probe
        - the original return address
        - a pointer to the stack address
      
        With all this stowed away, arch_prepare_kretprobe() then sets the return
        address for the targeted function to a special trampoline function called
        kretprobe_trampoline() implemented in arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c
      
      * The kprobe completes as normal, with control passing back to the target
        function that executes as normal, and eventually returns to our trampoline
        function.
      
      * Since a kprobe was installed on kretprobe_trampoline() during system
        initialization, control passes back to kprobes via the architecture
        specific function trampoline_probe_handler() which will lookup the
        instance in an hlist maintained by kernel/kprobes.c, and then call
        the handler function.
      
      * When trampoline_probe_handler() is done, the kprobes infrastructure
        single steps the original instruction (in this case just a top), and
        then calls trampoline_post_handler().  trampoline_post_handler() then
        looks up the instance again, puts the instance back on the free list,
        and then makes a long jump back to the original return instruction.
      
      So to recap, to instrument the exit path of a function this implementation
      will cause four interruptions:
      
        - A breakpoint at the very beginning of the function allowing us to
          switch out the return address
        - A single step interruption to execute the original instruction that
          we replaced with the break instruction (normal kprobe flow)
        - A breakpoint in the trampoline function where our instrumented function
          returned to
        - A single step interruption to execute the original instruction that
          we replaced with the break instruction (normal kprobe flow)

      [PATCH] streamline preempt_count type across archs · dcd497f9
      Jesper Juhl authored
      
      
      The preempt_count member of struct thread_info is currently either defined
      as int, unsigned int or __s32 depending on arch.  This patch makes the type
      of preempt_count an int on all archs.
      
      Having preempt_count be an unsigned type prevents the catching of
      preempt_count < 0 bugs, and using int on some archs and __s32 on others is
      not exactely "neat" - much nicer when it's just int all over.
      
      A previous version of this patch was already ACK'ed by Robert Love, and the
      only change in this version of the patch compared to the one he ACK'ed is
      that this one also makes sure the preempt_count member is consistently
      commented.

      [PATCH] Platform SMIs and their interferance with tsc based delay calibration · 8a9e1b0f
      Venkatesh Pallipadi authored
      
      
      Issue:
      Current tsc based delay_calibration can result in significant errors in
      loops_per_jiffy count when the platform events like SMIs
      (System Management Interrupts that are non-maskable) are present. This could
      lead to potential kernel panic(). This issue is becoming more visible with 2.6
      kernel (as default HZ is 1000) and on platforms with higher SMI handling
      latencies. During the boot time, SMIs are mostly used by BIOS (for things
      like legacy keyboard emulation).
      
      Description:
      The psuedocode for current delay calibration with tsc based delay looks like
      (0) Estimate a value for loops_per_jiffy
      (1) While (loops_per_jiffy estimate is accurate enough)
      (2)   wait for jiffy transition (jiffy1)
      (3)   Note down current tsc (tsc1)
      (4)   loop until tsc becomes tsc1 + loops_per_jiffy
      (5)   check whether jiffy changed since jiffy1 or not and refine
      loops_per_jiffy estimate
      
      Consider the following cases
      Case 1:
      If SMIs happen between (2) and (3) above, we can end up with a
      loops_per_jiffy value that is too low. This results in shorted delays and
      kernel can panic () during boot (Mostly at IOAPIC timer initialization
      timer_irq_works() as we don't have enough timer interrupts in a specified
      interval).
      
      Case 2:
      If SMIs happen between (3) and (4) above, then we can end up with a
      loops_per_jiffy value that is too high. And with current i386 code, too
      high lpj value (greater than 17M) can result in a overflow in
      delay.c:__const_udelay() again resulting in shorter delay and panic().
      
      Solution:
      The patch below makes the calibration routine aware of asynchronous events
      like SMIs. We increase the delay calibration time and also identify any
      significant errors (greater than 12.5%) in the calibration and notify it to
      user.
      
      Patch below changes both i386 and x86-64 architectures to use this
      new and improved calibrate_delay_direct() routine.

      This patch adds in the necessary support for sparsemem such that x86-64
      kernels may use sparsemem as an alternative to discontigmem for NUMA
      kernels.  Note that this does no preclude one from continuing to build NUMA
      kernels using discontigmem, but merely allows the option to build NUMA
      kernels with sparsemem.
      
      Interestingly, the use of sparsemem in lieu of discontigmem in NUMA kernels
      results in reduced text size for otherwise equivalent kernels as shown in
      the example builds below:

      of the DISCONTIG code.  On a flat memory system, these fields aren't
      currently used, neither are they on a sparsemem system.
      
      There was also a node_mem_map(nid) macro on many architectures.  Its use
      along with the use of ->node_mem_map itself was not consistent.  It has
      been removed in favor of two new, more explicit, arch-independent macros:
      
      	pgdat_page_nr(pgdat, pagenr)
      	nid_page_nr(nid, pagenr)
      
      I called them "pgdat" and "nid" because we overload the term "node" to mean
      "NUMA node", "DISCONTIG node" or "pg_data_t" in very confusing ways.  I
      believe the newer names are much clearer.
      
      These macros can be overridden in the sparsemem case with a theoretically
      slower operation using node_start_pfn and pfn_to_page(), instead.  We could
      make this the only behavior if people want, but I don't want to change too
      much at once.  One thing at a time.
      
      This patch removes more code than it adds.
      
      Compile tested on alpha, alpha discontig, arm, arm-discontig, i386, i386

      [PATCH] Hugepage consolidation · 63551ae0
      David Gibson authored
      
      
      A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar.  This patch
      attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
      combined version in mm/hugetlb.c.  There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
      order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
      reduction in the total amount of code.  It also means things like hugepage
      lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.
      
      Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.
      
      Notes:
      	- this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more
      	  analagous to set_pte()
      	- does SH4 need s special huge_ptep_get_and_clear()??

      [PATCH] smp_processor_id() cleanup · 39c715b7
      Ingo Molnar authored
      
      
      This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that
      Arjan van de Ven and I came up with.
      
      The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API
      spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the
      usage side.
      
      Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the
      complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined
      __smp_processor_id.
      
      In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols:
      
       - smp_processor_id(): debug variant.
      
       - raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing
         uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined
         by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h.
      
      There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT:
      
       - debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to
                                   smp_processor_id().
      
      Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new
      lib/smp_processor_id.c file.  All related comments got updated and/or
      clarified.
      
      I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86:
      
       {SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT}
      
      I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT.  (Other
      architectures are untested, but should work just fine.)

      [PATCH] x86_64: TASK_SIZE fixes for compatibility mode processes · 84929801
      Suresh Siddha authored
      
      
      Appended patch will setup compatibility mode TASK_SIZE properly.  This will
      fix atleast three known bugs that can be encountered while running
      compatibility mode apps.
      
      a) A malicious 32bit app can have an elf section at 0xffffe000.  During
         exec of this app, we will have a memory leak as insert_vm_struct() is
         not checking for return value in syscall32_setup_pages() and thus not
         freeing the vma allocated for the vsyscall page.  And instead of exec
         failing (as it has addresses > TASK_SIZE), we were allowing it to
         succeed previously.
      
      b) With a 32bit app, hugetlb_get_unmapped_area/arch_get_unmapped_area
         may return addresses beyond 32bits, ultimately causing corruption
         because of wrap-around and resulting in SEGFAULT, instead of returning
         ENOMEM.
      
      c) 32bit app doing this below mmap will now fail.
      
        mmap((void *)(0xFFFFE000UL), 0x10000UL, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
      	MAP_FIXED|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON, 0, 0);

      [PATCH] AGP fix for Xen VMM · 07eee78e
      Keir Fraser authored
      
      
      When Linux is running on the Xen virtual machine monitor, physical
      addresses are virtualised and cannot be directly referenced by the AGP
      GART.  This patch fixes the GART driver for Xen by adding a layer of
      abstraction between physical addresses and 'GART addresses'.
      
      Architecture-specific functions are also defined for allocating and freeing
      the GATT.  Xen requires this to ensure that table really is contiguous from
      the point of view of the GART.
      
      These extra interface functions are defined as 'no-ops' for all existing
      architectures that use the GART driver.

      [PATCH] x86_64: Collected NMI watchdog fixes. · 75152114
      Andi Kleen authored
      
      
      Collected NMI watchdog fixes.
      
      - Fix call of check_nmi_watchdog
      
      - Remove earlier move of check_nmi_watchdog to later.  It does not fix the
        race it was supposed to fix fully.
      
      - Remove unused P6 definitions
      
      - Add support for performance counter based watchdog on P4 systems.
      
        This allows to run it only once per second, which saves some CPU time.
        Previously it would run at 1000Hz, which was too much.
      
        Code ported from i386
      
        Make this the default on Intel systems.
      
      - Use check_nmi_watchdog with local APIC based nmi
      
      - Fix race in touch_nmi_watchdog
      
      - Fix bug that caused incorrect performance counters to be programmed in a
        few cases on K8.
      
      - Remove useless check for local APIC
      
      - Use local_t and per_cpu variables for per CPU data.
      
      - Keep other CPUs busy during check_nmi_watchdog to make sure they really
        tick when in lapic mode.
      
      - Only check CPUs that are actually online.
      
      - Various other fixes.
      
      - Fix fallback path when MSRs are unimplemented
