* [PATCH] disable addres space randomization default on transmeta CPUsEric Lammerts2005-08-011-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | Remove "noreplacement" kernel command line option.Linus Torvalds2005-07-221-13/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's really just a single instruction, conditional on whether the CPU supports FXSR or not, so implement it as such instead of making it a function that queries FXSR dynamically.

It so happens that the scheduler will have set the new current pointer before calling __switch_to(), but that's just an implementation detail.

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | [PATCH] PCI: pci_assign_unassigned_resources() on x86Ivan Kokshaysky2005-07-012-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Add sanity check for io[port,mem]_resource in setup-bus.c. These resources look like "free" as they have no parents, but obviously we must not touch them. - In i386.c:pci_allocate_bus_resources(), if a bridge resource cannot be allocated for some reason, then clear its flags. This prevents any child allocations in this range, so the setup-bus code will work with a clean resource sub-tree. - i386.c:pcibios_enable_resources() doesn't enable bridges, as it checks only resources 0-5, which looks like a clear bug to me. I suspect it might break hotplug as well in some cases. From: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

| * | [PATCH] Return probe redesign: i386 specific changesRusty Lynch2005-06-271-63/+70
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch contains the i386 specific changes for the new return probe design. Changes include: * Removing the architecture specific functions for querying a return probe instance off a stack address * Complete rework onf arch_prepare_kretprobe() and trampoline_probe_handler() * Removing trampoline_post_handler() * Adding arch_init() so that now we handle registering the return probe trampoline instead of kernel/kprobes.c doing it Signed-off-by: Rusty Lynch <rusty.lynch@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
| * | [PATCH] seccomp: tsc disableAndrea Arcangeli2005-06-271-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I believe at least for seccomp it's worth to turn off the tsc, not just for HT but for the L2 cache too. So it's up to you, either you turn it off completely (which isn't very nice IMHO) or I recommend to apply this below patch. This has been tested successfully on x86-64 against current cogito repository (i686 compiles so I didn't bother testing ;). People selling the cpu through cpushare may appreciate this bit for a peace of mind. There's no way to get any timing info anymore with this applied (gettimeofday is forbidden of course). The seccomp environment is completely deterministic so it can't be allowed to get timing info, it has to be deterministic so in the future I can enable a computing mode that does a parallel computing for each task with server side transparent checkpointing and verification that the output is the same from all the 2/3 seller computers for each task, without the buyer even noticing (for now the verification is left to the buyer client side and there's no checkpointing, since that would require more kernel changes to track the dirty bits but it'll be easy to extend once the basic mode is finished). Eliminating a cold-cache read of the cr4 global variable will save one cacheline during the tlb flush while making the code per-cpu-safe at the same time. Thanks to Mikael Pettersson for noticing the tlb flush wasn't per-cpu-safe. The global tlb flush can run from irq (IPI calling do_flush_tlb_all) but it'll be transparent to the switch_to code since the IPI won't make any change to the cr4 contents from the point of view of the interrupted code and since it's now all per-cpu stuff, it will not race. So no need to disable irqs in switch_to slow path. Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@cpushare.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
