sched: fix RLIMIT_CPU comment

2007-11-26T20:21:49+00:00

Devan Lippman noticed that the RLIMIT_CPU comment in resource.h is incorrect: the field is in seconds, not msecs. We used msecs in earlier versions of the patch but that got changed. Found-by: Devan Lippman Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

Linux Kernel Markers

2007-10-19T18:53:54+00:00

The marker activation functions sits in kernel/marker.c. A hash table is used to keep track of the registered probes and armed markers, so the markers within a newly loaded module that should be active can be activated at module load time. marker_query has been removed. marker_get_first, marker_get_next and marker_release should be used as iterators on the markers.

define first set of BIT* macros

2007-10-19T18:53:42+00:00

define first set of BIT* macros - move BITOP_MASK and BITOP_WORD from asm-generic/bitops/atomic.h to include/linux/bitops.h and rename it to BIT_MASK and BIT_WORD - move BITS_TO_LONGS and BITS_PER_BYTE to bitops.h too and allow easily define another BITS_TO_something (e.g. in event.c) by BITS_TO_TYPE macro Remaining (and common) BIT macro will be defined after all occurences and conflicts will be sorted out in the patches.

forbid asm/bitops.h direct inclusion

2007-10-19T18:53:41+00:00

forbid asm/bitops.h direct inclusion Because of compile errors that may occur after bit changes if asm/bitops.h is included directly without e.g. linux/kernel.h which includes linux/bitops.h, forbid direct inclusion of asm/bitops.h.

flush icache before set_pte() on ia64: flush icache at set_pte

2007-10-16T16:42:59+00:00

Current ia64 kernel flushes icache by lazy_mmu_prot_update() *after* set_pte(). This is too late. This patch removes lazy_mmu_prot_update and add modfied set_pte() for flushing if necessary. This patch flush icache of a page when new pte has exec bit. && new pte has present bit && new pte is user's page. && (old *ptep is not present || new pte's pfn is not same to old *ptep's ptn) && new pte's page has no Pg_arch_1 bit. Pg_arch_1 is set when a page is cache consistent. I think this condition checks are much easier to understand than considering "Where sync_icache_dcache() should be inserted ?". pte_user() for ia64 was removed by http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/12/67 as clean-up. So, I added it again. Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki Cc: "Luck, Tony" Cc: Christoph Lameter Cc: Hugh Dickins Cc: Nick Piggin Acked-by: David S.

Generic Virtual Memmap support for SPARSEMEM

2007-10-16T16:42:51+00:00

SPARSEMEM is a pretty nice framework that unifies quite a bit of code over all the arches. It would be great if it could be the default so that we can get rid of various forms of DISCONTIG and other variations on memory maps. So far what has hindered this are the additional lookups that SPARSEMEM introduces for virt_to_page and page_address. This goes so far that the code to do this has to be kept in a separate function and cannot be used inline. This patch introduces a virtual memmap mode for SPARSEMEM, in which the memmap is mapped into a virtually contigious area, only the active sections are physically backed. This allows virt_to_page page_address and cohorts become simple shift/add operations. No page flag fields, no table lookups, nothing involving memory is required. The two key operations pfn_to_page and page_to_page become: #define __pfn_to_page(pfn) (vmemmap + (pfn)) #define __page_to_pfn(page) ((page) - vmemmap) By having a virtual mapping for the memmap we allow simple access without wasting physical memory. As kernel memory is typically already mapped 1:1 this introduces no additional overhead. The virtual mapping must be big enough to allow a struct page to be allocated and mapped for all valid physical pages. This vill make a virtual memmap difficult to use on 32 bit platforms that support 36 address bits. However, if there is enough virtual space available and the arch already maps its 1-1 kernel space using TLBs (f.e. true of IA64 and x86_64) then this technique makes SPARSEMEM lookups even more efficient than CONFIG_FLATMEM. FLATMEM needs to read the contents of the mem_map variable to get the start of the memmap and then add the offset to the required entry. vmemmap is a constant to which we can simply add the offset. This patch has the potential to allow us to make SPARSMEM the default (and even the only) option for most systems. It should be optimal on UP, SMP and NUMA on most platforms. Then we may even be able to remove the other memory models: FLATMEM, DISCONTIG etc. [apw@shadowen.org: config cleanups, resplit code etc] [kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com: Fix sparsemem_vmemmap init] [apw@shadowen.org: vmemmap: remove excess debugging] [apw@shadowen.org: simplify initialisation code and reduce duplication] [apw@shadowen.org: pull out the vmemmap code into its own file] Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft Acked-by: Mel Gorman Cc: "Luck, Tony" Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: "David S.

fix sparc32 breakage (result of vmlinux.lds.S bug)

In commit 4665079cbb2a3e17de82f2ab2940b9f97f37d65e ("[NETNS]: Move some code into __init section when CONFIG_NET_NS=n") we got a new section - .exit.text.refok (more of 'let's tell modpost that some bogus calls are not bogus', a-la text.init.refok). Unfortunately, the commit in question forgot to add it to TEXT_TEXT, with rather amusing results. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
