* PM/gxfb: add hook to PM console layer that allows disabling of suspend VT switchAndres Salomon2008-04-281-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prior to suspend, we allocate and switch to a new VT; after suspend, we switch back to the original VT. This can be slow, and is completely unnecessary if the framebuffer we're using can restore video properly. This adds a hook that allows drivers to select whether or not to do this vt switch, and changes the gxfb driver to call this hook. It also adds a module param to gxfb to allow controlling of the vt switch (defaulting to no switch). (Note: I'm not convinced that console_sem is the best way to protect this, but we should probably have some form of locking..)

* gxfb: replace FBSIZE config option with a module parameterAndres Salomon2008-04-281-0/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use a command line option (vram) rather than hardcoding the vram size. LxFB already does this; it's useful for machines that can't query the BIOS for fb size. This patch originated from David Woodhouse, was modified by Jordan Crouse, and was then modified further by me. This also adds some gxfb documentation in Documentation/fb.

* mempolicy: use MPOL_F_LOCAL to Indicate Preferred Local PolicyLee Schermerhorn2008-04-281-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we're using "preferred local" policy for system default, we need to make this as fast as possible. Because of the variable size of the mempolicy structure [based on size of nodemasks], the preferred_node may be in a different cacheline from the mode. This can result in accessing an extra cacheline in the normal case of system default policy. Suspect this is the cause of an observed 2-3% slowdown in page fault testing relative to kernel without this patch series. To alleviate this, use an internal mode flag, MPOL_F_LOCAL in the mempolicy flags member which is guaranteed [?] to be in the same cacheline as the mode itself. Verified that reworked mempolicy now performs slightly better on 25-rc8-mm1 for both anon and shmem segments with system default and vma [preferred local] policy.

* mempolicy: use MPOL_PREFERRED for system-wide default policyLee Schermerhorn2008-04-281-36/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, when one specifies MPOL_DEFAULT via a NUMA memory policy API [set_mempolicy(), mbind() and internal versions], the kernel simply installs a NULL struct mempolicy pointer in the appropriate context: task policy, vma policy, or shared policy. This causes any use of that policy to "fall back" to the next most specific policy scope. The only use of MPOL_DEFAULT to mean "local allocation" is in the system default policy. This requires extra checks/cases for MPOL_DEFAULT in many mempolicy.c functions. There is another, "preferred" way to specify local allocation via the APIs. That is using the MPOL_PREFERRED policy mode with an empty nodemask. Internally, the empty nodemask gets converted to a preferred_node id of '-1'. All internal usage of MPOL_PREFERRED will convert the '-1' to the id of the node local to the cpu where the allocation occurs. System default policy, except during boot, is hard-coded to "local allocation". By using the MPOL_PREFERRED mode with a negative value of preferred node for system default policy, MPOL_DEFAULT will never occur in the 'policy' member of a struct mempolicy. Thus, we can remove all checks for MPOL_DEFAULT when converting policy to a node id/zonelist in the allocation paths. In slab_node() return local node id when policy pointer is NULL. No need to set a pol value to take the switch default. Replace switch default with BUG()--i.e., shouldn't happen. With this patch MPOL_DEFAULT is only used in the APIs, including internal calls to do_set_mempolicy() and in the display of policy in /proc/<pid>/numa_maps. It always means "fall back" to the the next most specific policy scope. This simplifies the description of memory policies quite a bit, with no visible change in behavior. get_mempolicy() continues to return MPOL_DEFAULT and an empty nodemask when the requested policy [task or vma/shared] is NULL. These are the values one would supply via set_mempolicy() or mbind() to achieve that condition--default behavior. This patch updates Documentation to reflect this change.

* mempolicy: rework mempolicy Reference Counting [yet again]Lee Schermerhorn2008-04-281-0/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After further discussion with Christoph Lameter, it has become clear that my earlier attempts to clean up the mempolicy reference counting were a bit of overkill in some areas, resulting in superflous ref/unref in what are usually fast paths. In other areas, further inspection reveals that I botched the unref for interleave policies. A separate patch, suitable for upstream/stable trees, fixes up the known errors in the previous attempt to fix reference counting. This patch reworks the memory policy referencing counting and, one hopes, simplifies the code. Maybe I'll get it right this time. See the update to the numa_memory_policy.txt document for a discussion of memory policy reference counting that motivates this patch. Summary: Lookup of mempolicy, based on (vma, address) need only add a reference for shared policy, and we need only unref the policy when finished for shared policies. So, this patch backs out all of the unneeded extra reference counting added by my previous attempt. It then unrefs only shared policies when we're finished with them, using the mpol_cond_put() [conditional put] helper function introduced by this patch. Note that shmem_swapin() calls read_swap_cache_async() with a dummy vma containing just the policy. read_swap_cache_async() can call alloc_page_vma() multiple times, so we can't let alloc_page_vma() unref the shared policy in this case. To avoid this, we make a copy of any non-null shared policy and remove the MPOL_F_SHARED flag from the copy. This copy occurs before reading a page [or multiple pages] from swap, so the overhead should not be an issue here. I introduced a new static inline function "mpol_cond_copy()" to copy the shared policy to an on-stack policy and remove the flags that would require a conditional free. The current implementation of mpol_cond_copy() assumes that the struct mempolicy contains no pointers to dynamically allocated structures that must be duplicated or reference counted during copy.

* mempolicy: rename struct mempolicy 'policy' member to 'mode'Lee Schermerhorn2008-04-281-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The terms 'policy' and 'mode' are both used in various places to describe the semantics of the value stored in the 'policy' member of struct mempolicy. Furthermore, the term 'policy' is used to refer to that member, to the entire struct mempolicy and to the more abstract concept of the tuple consisting of a "mode" and an optional node or set of nodes. Recently, we have added "mode flags" that are passed in the upper bits of the 'mode' [or sometimes, 'policy'] member of the numa APIs. I'd like to resolve this confusion, which perhaps only exists in my mind, by renaming the 'policy' member to 'mode' throughout, and fixing up the Documentation. Man pages will be updated separately.

* mempolicy: disallow static or relative flags for local preferred modeDavid Rientjes2008-04-281-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES and MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES don't mean anything for MPOL_PREFERRED policies that were created with an empty nodemask (for purely local allocations). They'll never be invalidated because the allowed mems of a task changes or need to be rebound relative to a cpuset's placement. Also fixes a bug identified by Lee Schermerhorn that disallowed empty nodemasks to be passed to MPOL_PREFERRED to specify local allocations.

* mm: filter based on a nodemask as well as a gfp_maskMel Gorman2008-04-281-8/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The MPOL_BIND policy creates a zonelist that is used for allocations controlled by that mempolicy. As the per-node zonelist is already being filtered based on a zone id, this patch adds a version of __alloc_pages() that takes a nodemask for further filtering. This eliminates the need for MPOL_BIND to create a custom zonelist. A positive benefit of this is that allocations using MPOL_BIND now use the local node's distance-ordered zonelist instead of a custom node-id-ordered zonelist. I.e., pages will be allocated from the closest allowed node with available memory.

| * [POWERPC] Xilinx: of_serial support for Xilinx uart 16550.John Linn2008-04-241-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Xilinx 16550 uart core is not a standard 16550 because it uses word-based addressing rather than byte-based addressing. With additional properties it is compatible with the open firmware 'ns16550' compatible binding. This code updates the of_serial driver to handle the reg-offset and reg-shift properties to enable this core to be used.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as1048) extends the descriptor checking after a device is reset. Now the SerialNumber string descriptor is compared to its old value, in addition to the device and configuration descriptors. As a consequence, the kmalloc() call in usb_string() is now on the error-handling pathway for usb-storage. Hence its allocation type is changed to GFO_NOIO.

| |/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as1047) removes the USB_PERSIST Kconfig option, enabling it permanently. It also prevents the power/persist attribute from being created for hub devices; there's no point in having it since USB-PERSIST is always turned on for hubs.
