x86: disable hpet on shutdown

2007-12-03T16:17:10+00:00

If HPET was enabled by pci quirks, we use i8253 as initial clockevent because pci quirks doesn't run until pci is initialized. The above means the kernel (or something) is assuming HPET legacy replacement is disabled and can use i8253 at boot. If we used kexec, it isn't true. So, this patch disables HPET legacy replacement for kexec in machine_shutdown(). Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi Acked-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

Revert "[POWERPC] Fix RTAS os-term usage on kernel panic"

2007-12-02T22:39:45+00:00

This reverts commit a2b51812a4dc5db09ab4d4638d4d8ed456e2457e. It turns out that this change caused some machines to fail to come back up when being rebooted, and generated an error in the hypervisor error log on some machines. The platform architecture (PAPR) is a little unclear on exactly when the RTAS ibm,os-term function should be called. Until that is clarified I'm reverting this commit. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

sched: cpu accounting controller (V2)

2007-12-02T19:04:49+00:00

Commit cfb5285660aad4931b2ebbfa902ea48a37dfffa1 removed a useful feature for us, which provided a cpu accounting resource controller. This feature would be useful if someone wants to group tasks only for accounting purpose and doesnt really want to exercise any control over their cpu consumption. The patch below reintroduces the feature. It is based on Paul Menage's original patch (Commit 62d0df64065e7c135d0002f069444fbdfc64768f), with these differences: - Removed load average information. I felt it needs more thought (esp to deal with SMP and virtualized platforms) and can be added for 2.6.25 after more discussions. - Convert group cpu usage to be nanosecond accurate (as rest of the cfs stats are) and invoke cpuacct_charge() from the respective scheduler classes - Make accounting scalable on SMP systems by splitting the usage counter to be per-cpu - Move the code from kernel/cpu_acct.c to kernel/sched.c (since the code is not big enough to warrant a new file and also this rightly needs to live inside the scheduler. Also things like accessing rq->lock while reading cpu usage becomes easier if the code lived in kernel/sched.c) The patch also modifies the cpu controller not to provide the same accounting information. Tested-by: Balbir Singh Tested the patches on top of 2.6.24-rc3. The patches work fine. Ran some simple tests like cpuspin (spin on the cpu), ran several tasks in the same group and timed them. Compared their time stamps with cpuacct.usage. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa Vaddagiri Signed-off-by: Balbir Singh Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

[NETNS]: Fix /proc/net breakage

2007-12-01T13:33:17+00:00

Well I clearly goofed when I added the initial network namespace support for /proc/net. Currently things work but there are odd details visible to user space, even when we have a single network namespace. Since we do not cache proc_dir_entry dentries at the moment we can just modify ->lookup to return a different directory inode depending on the network namespace of the process looking at /proc/net, replacing the current technique of using a magic and fragile follow_link method. To accomplish that this patch: - introduces a shadow_proc method to allow different dentries to be returned from proc_lookup. - Removes the old /proc/net follow_link magic - Fixes a weakness in our not caching of proc generic dentries. As shadow_proc uses a task struct to decided which dentry to return we can go back later and fix the proc generic caching without modifying any code that uses the shadow_proc method.
