* [PATCH] remove __put_task_struct_cb export againChristoph Hellwig2006-03-113-9/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch '[PATCH] RCU signal handling' [1] added an export for __put_task_struct_cb, a put_task_struct helper newly introduced in that patch. But the put_task_struct couldn't be used modular previously as __put_task_struct wasn't exported. There are not callers of it in modular code, and it shouldn't be exported because we don't want drivers to hold references to task_structs. This patch removes the export and folds __put_task_struct into __put_task_struct_cb as there's no other caller.

* [PATCH] edac: disable a few sysfs files to avoid them becoming an ABIArjan van de Ven2006-03-111-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | Disable (via ugly #if 0's) the 3 sysfs files that I think by now we all agree are very much wrong. These files shouldn't become part of the ABI by the 2.6.16 release, so I rather have this minimal patch merged to disable them for now, the real fix can then come during the 2.6.17 devel window.

* [PATCH] ext3: fix nobh mode for chattr +j inodesBadari Pulavarty2006-03-111-9/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One can do "chattr +j" on a file to change its journalling mode. Fix writeback mode with "nobh" handling for it. Even though, we mount ext3 filesystem in writeback mode with "nobh" option, some one can do "chattr +j" on a single file to force it to do journalled mode. In order to do journaling, ext3_block_truncate_page() need to fallback to default case of creating buffers and adding them to transaction etc. Signed-off-by: Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes illegal __GFP_FS allocation inside ext3 transaction in ext3_symlink(). Such allocation may re-enter ext3 code from try_to_free_pages. But JBD/ext3 code keeps a pointer to current journal handle in task_struct and, hence, is not reentrable.

| * [IA64] Fix race in the accessed/dirty bit handlersChristoph Lameter2006-03-081-6/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A pte may be zapped by the swapper, exiting process, unmapping or page migration while the accessed or dirty bit handers are about to run. In that case the accessed bit or dirty is set on an zeroed pte which leads the VM to conclude that this is a swap pte. This may lead to - Messages from the vm like swap_free: Bad swap file entry 4000000000000000 - Processes being aborted swap_dup: Bad swap file entry 4000000000000000 VM: killing process .... Page migration is particular suitable for the creation of this race since it needs to remove and restore page table entries. The fix here is to check for the present bit and simply not update the pte if the page is not present anymore. If the page is not present then the fault handler should run next which will take care of the problem by bringing the page back and then mark the page dirty or move it onto the active list.

* | [PATCH] slab: Node rotor for freeing alien caches and remote per cpu pages.Christoph Lameter2006-03-093-14/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cache reaper currently tries to free all alien caches and all remote per cpu pages in each pass of cache_reap. For a machines with large number of nodes (such as Altix) this may lead to sporadic delays of around ~10ms. Interrupts are disabled while reclaiming creating unacceptable delays. This patch changes that behavior by adding a per cpu reap_node variable. Instead of attempting to free all caches, we free only one alien cache and the per cpu pages from one remote node. That reduces the time spend in cache_reap. However, doing so will lengthen the time it takes to completely drain all remote per cpu pagesets and all alien caches. The time needed will grow with the number of nodes in the system. All caches are drained when they overflow their respective capacity. So the drawback here is only that a bit of memory may be wasted for awhile longer. Details: 1. Rename drain_remote_pages to drain_node_pages to allow the specification of the node to drain of pcp pages. 2. Add additional functions init_reap_node, next_reap_node for NUMA that manage a per cpu reap_node counter. 3. Add a reap_alien function that reaps only from the current reap_node. For us this seems to be a critical issue. Holdoffs of an average of ~7ms cause some HPC benchmarks to slow down significantly. F.e. NAS parallel slows down dramatically. NAS parallel has a 12-16 seconds runtime w/o rotor compared to 5.8 secs with the rotor patches. It gets down to 5.05 secs with the additional interrupt holdoff reductions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the code tries up to spin_retry times to grab a lock using the cs instruction. The cs instruction has exclusive access to a memory region and therefore invalidates the appropiate cache line of all other cpus. If there is contention on a lock this leads to cache line trashing. This can be avoided if we first check wether a cs instruction is likely to succeed before the instruction gets actually executed.

In other words, the noerror behaviour would apply to the next system call where we had to reschedule or deliver a signal, which is not necessarily the current system call. * 32-bit wasn't doing the call to ptrace_notify in the syscall exit path when the _TIF_SINGLESTEP bit was set. * _TIF_RESTOREALL was in both _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK and _TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK, which is odd since _TIF_RESTOREALL is only set by system calls. I took it out of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK. * On 64-bit, _TIF_RESTOREALL wasn't causing the non-volatile registers to be restored (unless perhaps a signal was delivered or the syscall was traced or single-stepped). Thus the non-volatile registers weren't restored on exit from a signal handler. We probably got away with it mostly because signal handlers written in C wouldn't alter the non-volatile registers. * On 32-bit I simplified the code and made it more like 64-bit by making the syscall exit path jump to ret_from_except to handle preemption and signal delivery. * 32-bit was calling do_signal unnecessarily when _TIF_RESTOREALL was set - but I think because of that 32-bit was actually restoring the non-volatile registers on exit from a signal handler. * I changed the order of enabling interrupts and saving the non-volatile registers before calling do_syscall_trace_leave; now we enable interrupts first.

On logically-partitioned machines the first element of the reg property in the memory node is defined to be the "RMO" region, i.e. the memory that the processor can access in real mode. On other machines the first element has no special meaning, so only take it to be the RMO region on LPAR machines.

Unfortunately, by doing so, they would trigger a bug in their matching algorithm causing them to attach to the wrong bus, thus triggering issues with the i2c core and breaking the thermal driver. This patch fixes the probing issue (so that they will work when a windfarm port is done to these machines) and also prevents for now windfarm to load at all on these machines that still use therm_pm72 to avoid wasting resources.

| * | powerpc32: Fix timebase synchronization on 32-bit powermacsPaul Mackerras2006-03-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The variable `timebase' used to transfer the current timebase value from one cpu to the other in smp_core99_give/take_timebase was only an unsigned long, i.e. 32 bits on 32-bit machines. It needs to be 64 bits. This makes it a u64, and fixes the issue reported by Kyle Moffett, that the two cpus see wildly different values for the time of day.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is along the lines suggested by Chris Lumens but goes further in that it leaves the DEBUG symbol undefined, making the DBG macro empty. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
| * | powerpc: Fix might-sleep warning in program check exception handlerPaul Mackerras2006-03-031-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On 32-bit, the exception prolog for the program check exception doesn't enable interrupts early on. If it is an illegal instruction exception, we read the instruction in order to emulate certain instructions, and the get_user of the instruction triggers a WARN_ON since interrupts are still disabled. This adds a local_irq_enable() to enable interrupts before reading the instruction. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The low level PCI DMA mapping functions should handle it in most cases. This should fix problems with depleting the DMA zone early. The old code used precious GFP_DMA memory in many cases where it was not needed.

* | | [PATCH] i386: port ATI timer fix from x86_64 to i386 IIAndi Kleen2006-03-088-6/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ATI chipsets tend to generate double timer interrupts for the local APIC timer when both the 8254 and the IO-APIC timer pins are enabled. This is because they route it to both and the result is anded together and the CPU ends up processing it twice. This patch changes check_timer to disable the 8254 routing for interrupt 0. I think it would be safe on all chipsets actually (i tested it on a couple and it worked everywhere) and Windows seems to do it in a similar way, but to be conservative this patch only enables this mode on ATI (and adds options to enable/disable too) Ported over from a similar x86-64 change. I reused the ACPI earlyquirk infrastructure for the ATI bridge check, but tweaked it a bit to work even without ACPI. Inspired by a patch from Chuck Ebbert, but redone.

| | |/ | |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A recent change to compat. dev_ifconf() in fs/compat_ioctl.c causes ifconf data to be truncated 1 entry too early when copying it to userspace. The correct amount of data (length) is returned, but the final entry is empty (zero, not filled in). The for-loop 'i' check should use <= to allow the final struct ifreq32 to be copied. I also used the ifconf-corruption program in kernel bugzilla #4746 to make sure that this change does not re-introduce the corruption.
