This means that the overhead applies even to machines which have a fairly modest amount of high memory and which therefore do not really benefit from allocating PTEs in high memory but still pay the price of the additional mapping operations. Running kernbench on a 4G box I found that with CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but no actual highptes being allocated there was a reduction in system time used from 59.737s to 55.9s. With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y and highmem PTEs being allocated: Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation): Elapsed Time 175.396 (0.238914) User Time 515.983 (5.85019) System Time 59.737 (1.26727) Percent CPU 263.8 (71.6796) Context Switches 39989.7 (4672.64) Sleeps 42617.7 (246.307) With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but with no highmem PTEs being allocated: Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation): Elapsed Time 174.278 (0.831968) User Time 515.659 (6.07012) System Time 55.9 (1.07799) Percent CPU 263.8 (71.266) Context Switches 39929.6 (4485.13) Sleeps 42583.7 (373.039) This patch allows the user to control the allocation of PTEs in highmem from the command line ("userpte=nohigh") but retains the status-quo as the default. It is possible that some simple heuristic could be developed which allows auto-tuning of this option however I don't have a sufficiently large machine available to me to perform any particularly meaningful experiments. We could probably handwave up an argument for a threshold at 16G of total RAM. Assuming 768M of lowmem we have 196608 potential lowmem PTE pages. Each page can map 2M of RAM in a PAE-enabled configuration, meaning a maximum of 384G of RAM could potentially be mapped using lowmem PTEs. Even allowing generous factor of 10 to account for other required lowmem allocations, generous slop to account for page sharing (which reduces the total amount of RAM mappable by a given number of PT pages) and other innacuracies in the estimations it would seem that even a 32G machine would not have a particularly pressing need for highmem PTEs. I think 32G could be considered to be at the upper bound of what might be sensible on a 32 bit machine (although I think in practice 64G is still supported). It's seems questionable if HIGHPTE is even a win for any amount of RAM you would sensibly run a 32 bit kernel on rather than going 64 bit.

In particular, on the MSI Wind U-100 PCIe PME interrupts are not generated by a PCIe root port after a resume from suspend to RAM, if the system wake-up was triggered by a PME from the device attached to this port. [It doesn't help to free the interrupt on suspend and request it back on resume, even if that is done along with disabling the MSI and re-enabling it, respectively.] However, if INTx interrupts are used for this purpose on the same machine, everything works just fine. For this reason, add a kernel command line switch allowing one to request that MSIs be not used for the native PCIe PME signaling, introduce a DMI table allowing us to blacklist machines that need this switch to be set by default and put the MSI Wind U-100 into this table.

Once a PME message has been sent by an endpoint device and received by its root port (or event collector in the case of root complex integrated endpoints), the Requester ID from the message header is registered in the root port's Root Status register. At the same time, the PME Status bit of the Root Status register is set to indicate that there's a PME to handle. If PCIe PME interrupt is enabled for the root port, it generates an interrupt once the PME Status has been set. After receiving the interrupt, the kernel can identify the PCIe device that generated the PME using the Requester ID from the root port's Root Status register. [For details, see PCI Express Base Specification, Rev. 2.0.] Implement a driver for the PCIe PME root port service working in accordance with the above description.

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as1311) fixes a problem in usb-storage: Some devices are pretty broken when it comes to reporting sense data. The information they send back indicates that they have more than 18 bytes of sense data available, but when the system asks for more than 18 they fail or hang. The symptom is that probing fails with multiple resets. The patch adds a new BAD_SENSE flag to indicate that usb-storage should never ask for more than 18 bytes of sense data. The flag can be set in an unusual_devs entry or via the "quirks=" module parameter, and it is set automatically whenever a REQUEST SENSE command for more than 18 bytes fails or times out. An unusual_devs entry is added for the Agfa photo frame, which uses a Prolific chip having this bug.

The default will be to do so, unless overridden by the user at boot time or by a driver.

An incoming frame has to lookup all sockets to find best match, so long chains hurt latency. Instead of a fixed size hash table that cant be perfect for every needs, let UDP stack choose its table size at boot time like tcp/ip route, using alloc_large_system_hash() helper Add an optional boot parameter, uhash_entries=x so that an admin can force a size between 256 and 65536 if needed, like thash_entries and rhash_entries. dmesg logs two new lines : [ 0.647039] UDP hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes) [ 0.647099] UDP Lite hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes) Maximal size on 64bit arches would be 65536 slots, ie 1 MBytes for non debugging spinlocks.

If you specify "earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200" as a kernel argument, the "serial,ttyS" should be parsed as a single argument and not as "serial" and then "ttyS". Also update the documentation to reflect you can specify the ttyS directly without the "serial" argument.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements support for NMI debugging that was shamelessly copied from the avr32 port. A bit of special magic is needed in the interrupt exception path given that the NMI exception handler is stubbed in to the regular exception handling table despite being reported in INTEVT. So we mangle the lookup and kick off an EXPEVT-style exception dispatch from the INTEVT path for exceptions that do_IRQ() has no chance of handling. As a result, we also drop the evt2irq() conversion from the do_IRQ() path and just do it in assembly. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
