* [ARM] 3165/1: fix atomic_cmpxchg() implementation for ARMv6+Nicolas Pitre2005-11-161-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Nicolas Pitre If 'old' and 'oldval' are different then 'res' never gets set. In that case, if ever %0 happened to contain anything but zero (rather likely) then the code will loop forever (or until another CPU just come along and change the atomic value to match 'old' which is rather unlikely).

* | [PATCH] powerpc: Fix sparsemem with memory holes [was Re: ppc64 oops..]Paul Mackerras2005-11-152-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch should fix the crashes we have been seeing on 64-bit powerpc systems with a memory hole when sparsemem is enabled. I'd appreciate it if people who know more about NUMA and sparsemem than me could look over it. There were two bugs. The first was that if NUMA was enabled but there was no NUMA information for the machine, the setup_nonnuma() function was adding a single region, assuming memory was contiguous. The second was that the loops in mem_init() and show_mem() assumed that all pages within the span of a pgdat were valid (had a valid struct page). I also fixed the incorrect setting of num_physpages that Mike Kravetz pointed out. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* | [PATCH] ia64: cpu_idle performance bug fixChen, Kenneth W2005-11-151-7/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our performance validation on 2.6.15-rc1 caught a disastrous performance regression on ia64 with netperf (-98%) and volanomark (-58%) compares to previous kernel version 2.6.14-git7. See the following chart (result group 1 & 2). http://kernel-perf.sourceforge.net/results.machine_id=26.html We have root caused it to commit 64c7c8f88559624abdbe12b5da6502e8879f8d28 This changeset broke the ia64 task resched notification. In sched.c:resched_task(), a reschedule IPI is conditioned upon TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG. However, the above changeset unconditionally set the polling thread flag for idle tasks regardless whether pal_halt_light is in use or not. As a result, resched IPI is not sent from resched_task(). And since the default behavior on ia64 is to use pal_halt_light, we end up delaying the rescheduling task until next timer tick, and thus cause the performance regression. This fixes the performance bug. I'm glad our performance suite is turning up bad performance bug like this in time.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Fix a regression in command completion, which prevented the restart of the DMA engine after the device throws an error. - Pack more hardware info into the port-reset error message. - Promote "welcome to our timeout" message from debug msg to normal printk.
| * | [libata] REQUEST SENSE handling fixesJeff Garzik2005-11-143-58/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Move ATAPI check-condition handling out of the timeout handler - Use multi-qc-issue feature to issue REQUEST SENSE ATAPI PACKET command upon receiving an ATAPI check-condition. This cleans things up a lot, and eliminates a nasty recursion bug.
| * | [libata] minor fixes, new helpersJeff Garzik2005-11-142-8/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - in ata_dev_identify(), don't assume that all devices are either ATA or ATAPI. In the future, this code will see port multipliers and other devices. - make a debugging printk less verbose - add new helper ata_qc_reinit() - add new helper BPRINTK() and port flag ATA_FLAG_DEBUGMSG, for fine-grained debugging use.
| * | [libata] fix bugs in ATAPI padding DMA mapping codeJeff Garzik2005-11-141-5/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ATAPI pad-to-next-32bit-boundary code modifies the scatterlist's length variable, sometimes to zero. x86-64 platform would oops if a zero-length scatterlist entry was asked to be mapped. Work around this by ensuring that we never DMA-map a zero length buffer or SG entry.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Needed to get ATAPI working. - dump hardware error bits, if hardware signals an error - only reset hardware during timeout if a command was active - call ata_qc_complete() with a fine-grained error mask. Needed so that atapi_qc_complete() can distinguish between device errors and other errors.

But it wasn't even SMP safe for quite some time and the bugs it checked for seem to be gone. This patch removes all the code to verify GS at kernel entry. There haven't been any new bugs in this area for a long time. Previously it also covered the sysctl for the page fault tracing. That didn't make much sense because that code was unconditionally compiled in. I made that a boot option now because it is typically only useful at boot.

The exact behaviour varies depending on which config option that is used. setup_node_bootmem() has start and end as arguments and these are used to calculate the size of the node like this: (end - start). This is all fine if end is pointing to the first non-available byte. The problem is that the current x86_64 code sometimes treats it as the last present byte and sometimes as the first non-available byte. The result is that some configurations might lose a page at the end of the range. This patch tries to fix CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA, CONFIG_K8_NUMA and CONFIG_NUMA_EMU so they all treat the end variable as the first non-available byte. This is the same way as the single node code. The patch is boot tested on dual x86_64 hardware with the above configurations, but maybe the removed code is needed as some workaround?

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On x86_64 arches, there is no way to choose ACPI_NUMA without having to choose K8_NUMA. CONFIG_K8_NUMA is not needed for Intel EM64T NUMA boxes. It also looks odd if you have to select ACPI_NUMA from the power management menu. This patch fixes those oddities. Patch does the following: 1. Makes NUMA a config option like other arches 2. Makes topology detection options like K8_NUMA dependent on NUMA 3. Choosing ACPI NUMA detection can be done from the standard "Processor type and features" menu AK: I fixed up the dependencies and changed the help texts a bit on top of Kiran's patch.

The only difference is that now.tv_sec (which is a time_t, i.e. a 64-bit long) is copied (and truncated) into a int (32-bit). The prototype is the same (they both take a long __user *), so let's drop this and redirect it to sys_time (and make sure it exists by defining __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME). Only disadvantage is that the sys_stime definition is also compiled (may be fixed if needed by adding a separate __ARCH_WANT_SYS_STIME macro, and defining it for all arch's defining __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME except x86_64).

| * | [PATCH] x86_64: Set ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp alignment to 128 bytesPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-11-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current value was correct before the introduction of Intel EM64T support - but now L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX can be less than L1_CACHE_SHIFT, which _is_ funny! Between the few users of ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp, we also have (for example) rcu_ctrlblk, and struct zone, with zone->{lru_,}lock. I.e. we have a lot of excess cacheline bouncing on them. No correctness issues, obviously. So this could even be merged for 2.6.14 (I'm not a fan of this idea, though).
