* [PATCH] remove special HPET_EMULATE_RTC config optionVenkatesh Pallipadi2005-08-041-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We had a user whose apps weren't working correctly because his "rtc" wasn't working fully. For the sake of simplicity, it seems sensible to always enable HPET RTC emulation. Remove a special config option for HPET_EMULATE_RTC and make it directly depend on HPET_TIMER and RTC. This will avoid the hangs when EMULATE_RTC is not configured and when some userlevel script depends on RTC interrupt, as in: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4904 Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | We know that the randomisation slows down some workloads on Transmeta CPUs by quite large amounts. We think it's because the CPU needs to recode the same x86 instructions when they pop up at a different virtual address after a fork+exec. So disable randomization by default on those CPUs.

* [PATCH] remove sys_set_zone_reclaim()Ingo Molnar2005-08-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes sys_set_zone_reclaim() for now. While i'm sure Martin is trying to solve a real problem, we must not hard-code an incomplete and insufficient approach into a syscall, because syscalls are pretty much for eternity. I am quite strongly convinced that this syscall must not hit v2.6.13 in its current form. Firstly, the syscall lacks basic syscall design: e.g. it allows the global setting of VM policy for unprivileged users. (!) [ Imagine an Oracle installation and a SAP installation on the same NUMA box fighting over the 'optimal' setting for this flag. What will they do? Will they try to set the flag to their own preferred value every second or so? ] Secondly, it was added based on a single datapoint from Martin: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=111763597218177&w=2 where Martin characterizes the numbers the following way: ' Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so these numbers aren't terribly useful except to see that with reclaim the benchmark still finishes in a reasonable amount of time. ' in other words: the fundamental problem has likely not been solved, only a tendential move into the right direction has been observed, and a handful of numbers were picked out of a set of hugely variable results, without showing the variability data. How much variance is there run-to-run? I'd really suggest to first walk the walk and see what's needed to get stable & predictable kernel compilation numbers on that NUMA box, before adding random syscalls to tune a particular aspect of the VM ... which approach might not even matter once the whole picture has been analyzed and understood! The third, most important point is that the syscall exposes VM tuning internals in a completely unstructured way. What sense does it make to have a _GLOBAL_ per-node setting for 'should we go to another node for reclaim'? If then it might make sense to do this per-app, via numalib or so. The change is minimalistic in that it doesnt remove the syscall and the underlying infrastructure changes, only the user-visible changes. We could perhaps add a CAP_SYS_ADMIN-only sysctl for this hack, a'ka /proc/sys/vm/swappiness, but even that looks quite counterproductive when the generic approach is that we are trying to reduce the number of external factors in the VM balance picture.

| * [PATCH] x86: avoid wasting IRQs patch updateNatalie.Protasevich@unisys.com2005-07-291-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch addresses a problem with ACPI SCI interrupt entry, which gets re-used, and the IRQ is assigned to another unrelated device. The patch corrects the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is avoided. Second issue came up with VIA chipset, the problem was caused by original patch assigning IRQs starting 16 and up. The VIA chipset uses 4-bit IRQ register for internal interrupt routing, and therefore cannot handle IRQ numbers assigned to its devices. The patch corrects this problem by allowing PCI IRQs below 16.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Somewhere recently, the TSC got re-enabled for timekeeping on NUMAQ machines. However, the hardware makes these get unsynchronized quite badly. So badly, in fact, that the code to fix up the skew can just hang on boot. This patch re-disables them.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is no longer valid to not replace instructions, since we depend on different behaviour depending on CPU capabilities. If you need to limit the capabilities of the replacements (because the boot CPU has features that non-boot CPU's do not have, for example), you need to explicitly disable those capabilities that are not shared across all CPU's. For example, if your boot CPU has FXSR, but other CPU's in your system do not, you need to use the "nofxsr" kernel command line, not disable instruction replacement per se.

Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of stat structures. * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals? inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change notification: * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO. You get a single fd, which is select()-able. * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item you were watching is on was unmounted." * inotify can watch directories or files.

To implement this all architectures has to source "net/Kconfig" before drivers/*/Kconfig in their Kconfig file. This change has been implemented for all architectures. Device drivers for ordinary NIC's are still to be found in the Device Drivers section, but Bluetooth, IrDA and ax25 are located with their corresponding menu entries under the new networking menu item.

* | [PATCH] mostly_read data sectionChristoph Lameter2005-07-075-13/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new section called ".data.read_mostly" for data items that are read frequently and rarely written to like cpumaps etc. If these maps are placed in the .data section then these frequenly read items may end up in cachelines with data is is frequently updated. In that case all processors in an SMP system must needlessly reload the cachelines again and again containing elements of those frequently used variables. The ability to share these cachelines will allow each cpu in an SMP system to keep local copies of those shared cachelines thereby optimizing performance.

* | [PATCH] MTRR suspend/resume cleanupShaohua Li2005-07-075-35/+70
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There has been some discuss about solving the SMP MTRR suspend/resume breakage, but I didn't find a patch for it. This is an intent for it. The basic idea is moving mtrr initializing into cpu_identify for all APs (so it works for cpu hotplug). For BP, restore_processor_state is responsible for restoring MTRR.

* | [PATCH] kprobes: fix namespace problem and sparc64 buildRusty Lynch2005-07-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following renames arch_init, a kprobes function for performing any architecture specific initialization, to arch_init_kprobes in order to cleanup the namespace. Also, this patch adds arch_init_kprobes to sparc64 to fix the sparc64 kprobes build from the last return probe patch.

* | [PATCH] PCI: clean up dynamic pci id logicGreg Kroah-Hartman2005-07-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The dynamic pci id logic has been bothering me for a while, and now that I started to look into how to move some of this to the driver core, I thought it was time to clean it all up. It ends up making the code smaller, and easier to follow, and fixes a few bugs at the same time (dynamic ids were not being matched everywhere, and so could be missed on some call paths for new devices, semaphore not needed to be grabbed when adding a new id and calling the driver core, etc.) I also renamed the function pci_match_device() to pci_match_id() as that's what it really does.
