* [PATCH] rcu: add a prefetch() in rcu_do_batch()Eric Dumazet2006-12-071-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some workloads, (for example when lot of close() syscalls are done), RCU qlen can be quite large, and RCU heads are no longer in cpu cache when rcu_do_batch() is called. This patch adds a prefetch() in rcu_do_batch() to give CPU a hint to bring back cache lines containing 'struct rcu_head's. Most list manipulations macros include prefetch(), but not open coded ones (at least with current C compilers :) ) I got a nice speedup on a trivial benchmark (3.48 us per iteration instead of 3.95 us on a 1.6 GHz Pentium-M) while (1) { pipe(p); close(fd[0]); close(fd[1]);} Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Cc: "Paul E.

* [PATCH] hotplug CPU: clean up hotcpu_notifier() useIngo Molnar2006-12-074-11/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was lots of #ifdef noise in the kernel due to hotcpu_notifier(fn, prio) not correctly marking 'fn' as used in the !HOTPLUG_CPU case, and thus generating compiler warnings of unused symbols, hence forcing people to add #ifdefs. the compiler can skip truly unused functions just fine: text data bss dec hex filename 1624412 728710 3674856 6027978 5bfaca vmlinux.before 1624412 728710 3674856 6027978 5bfaca vmlinux.after [akpm@osdl.org: topology.c fix] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] kprobes: enable booster on the preemptible kernelMasami Hiramatsu2006-12-071-21/+96
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are unregistering a kprobe-booster, we can't release its instruction buffer immediately on the preemptive kernel, because some processes might be preempted on the buffer. The freeze_processes() and thaw_processes() functions can clean most of processes up from the buffer. There are still some non-frozen threads who have the PF_NOFREEZE flag. If those threads are sleeping (not preempted) at the known place outside the buffer, we can ensure safety of freeing. However, the processing of this check routine takes a long time. So, this patch introduces the garbage collection mechanism of insn_slot. It also introduces the "dirty" flag to free_insn_slot because of efficiency. The "clean" instruction slots (dirty flag is cleared) are released immediately. But the "dirty" slots which are used by boosted kprobes, are marked as garbages. collect_garbage_slots() will be invoked to release "dirty" slots if there are more than INSNS_PER_PAGE garbage slots or if there are no unused slots.

* [PATCH] HZ: 300Hz supportAlan Cox2006-12-071-5/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix two things. Firstly the unit is "Hz" not "HZ". Secondly it is useful to have 300Hz support when doing multimedia work. 250 is fine for us in Europe but the US frame rate is 30fps (29.99 blah for pedants). 300 gives us a tick divisible by both 25 and 30, and for interlace work 50 and 60. It's also giving similar performance to 250Hz. I'd argue we should remove 250 and add 300, but that might be excess disruption for now.

* [PATCH] taskstats: use nla_reserve() for reply assemblingOleg Nesterov2006-12-071-42/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently taskstats_user_cmd()/taskstats_exit() do: 1) allocate stats 2) fill stats 3) make a temporary copy on stack (236 bytes) 4) copy that copy to skb 5) free stats With the help of nla_reserve() we can operate on skb->data directly, thus avoiding all these steps except 2). So, before this patch: // copy *stats to skb->data int mk_reply(skb, ..., struct taskstats *stats); fill_pid(stats); mk_reply(skb, ..., stats); After: // return a pointer to skb->data struct taskstats *mk_reply(skb, ...); stat = mk_reply(skb, ...); fill_pid(stats); Shrinks taskatsks.o by 162 bytes. A stupid benchmark (send one million TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_PID) shows the real user sys before: 4.02 0.06 3.96 4.02 0.04 3.98 4.02 0.04 3.97 after: 3.86 0.08 3.78 3.88 0.10 3.77 3.89 0.09 3.80 but this looks suspiciously good.

* [PATCH] Disable CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID for abnormal exitRoland McGrath2006-12-071-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID flag is used by NPTL to have its threads communicate via memory/futex when they exit, so pthread_join can synchronize using a simple futex wait. The word of user memory where NPTL stores a thread's own TID is what it passes; this gets reset to zero at thread exit. It is not desireable to touch this user memory when threads are dying due to a fatal signal. A core dump is more usefully representative of the dying program state if the threads live at the time of the crash have their NPTL data structures unperturbed. The userland expectation of CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID has only ever been that it works for a thread making an _exit system call. This problem was identified by Ernie Petrides <petrides@redhat.com>.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Modify process thawing so that we can thaw kernel space without thawing userspace, and thaw kernelspace first. This will be useful in later patches, where I intend to get swsusp thawing kernel threads only before seeking to free memory.

* [PATCH] swsusp: quieten Freezer if !CONFIG_PM_DEBUGNigel Cunningham2006-12-071-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The freezer currently prints an '=' for every process that is frozen. This is pretty pointless, as the equals sign says nothing about which process is frozen, and makes logs look messier (especially if there were a large number of processes running). All we really need to know is that we started trying to freeze processes and what processes (if any) failed to freeze, or that we succeeded.

* [PATCH] swsusp: fix platform modeStefan Seyfried2006-12-071-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | At some point after 2.6.13, in-kernel software suspend got "incomplete" for the so-called "platform" mode. pm_ops->prepare() is never called. A visible sign of this is the "moon" light on thinkpads not flashing during suspend. Fix by readding the pm_ops->prepare call during suspend.

* [PATCH] swsusp: Improve handling of highmemRafael J. Wysocki2006-12-075-239/+671
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently swsusp saves the contents of highmem pages by copying them to the normal zone which is quite inefficient (eg. it requires two normal pages to be used for saving one highmem page). This may be improved by using highmem for saving the contents of saveable highmem pages. Namely, during the suspend phase of the suspend-resume cycle we try to allocate as many free highmem pages as there are saveable highmem pages. If there are not enough highmem image pages to store the contents of all of the saveable highmem pages, some of them will be stored in the "normal" memory. Next, we allocate as many free "normal" pages as needed to store the (remaining) image data. We use a memory bitmap to mark the allocated free pages (ie. highmem as well as "normal" image pages). Now, we use another memory bitmap to mark all of the saveable pages (highmem as well as "normal") and the contents of the saveable pages are copied into the image pages. Then, the second bitmap is used to save the pfns corresponding to the saveable pages and the first one is used to save their data. During the resume phase the pfns of the pages that were saveable during the suspend are loaded from the image and used to mark the "unsafe" page frames. Next, we try to allocate as many free highmem page frames as to load all of the image data that had been in the highmem before the suspend and we allocate so many free "normal" page frames that the total number of allocated free pages (highmem and "normal") is equal to the size of the image. While doing this we have to make sure that there will be some extra free "normal" and "safe" page frames for two lists of PBEs constructed later. Now, the image data are loaded, if possible, into their "original" page frames. The image data that cannot be written into their "original" page frames are loaded into "safe" page frames and their "original" kernel virtual addresses, as well as the addresses of the "safe" pages containing their copies, are stored in one of two lists of PBEs. One list of PBEs is for the copies of "normal" suspend pages (ie. "normal" pages that were saveable during the suspend) and it is used in the same way as previously (ie. by the architecture-dependent parts of swsusp). The other list of PBEs is for the copies of highmem suspend pages. The pages in this list are restored (in a reversible way) right before the arch-dependent code is called. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] swsusp: add ioctl for swap files supportRafael J. Wysocki2006-12-072-1/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To be able to use swap files as suspend storage from the userland suspend tools we need an additional ioctl() that will allow us to provide the kernel with both the swap header's offset and the identification of the resume partition. The new ioctl() should be regarded as a replacement for the SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_FILE ioctl() that from now on will be considered as obsolete, but has to stay for backwards compatibility of the interface.
