MIPS: Whitespace cleanup.

2013-02-01T09:00:22+00:00

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.

readahead: fault retry breaks mmap file read random detection

2012-10-09T07:22:47+00:00

.fault now can retry.  The retry can break state machine of .fault.  In
filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased.  In the second
try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased.  And
these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access.

Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once.  In the second try, skip
ra->mmap_miss decreasing.  The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it.

I only tested x86, didn't test other archs, but looks the change for other
archs is obvious, but who knows :)

MIPS: fault.c: Port OOM changes to do_page_fault

2012-02-20T17:33:19+00:00

Commit d065bd810b6deb67d4897a14bfe21f8eb526ba99
(mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transfer) and
commit 37b23e0525d393d48a7d59f870b3bc061a30ccdb
(x86,mm: make pagefault killable)

The above commits introduced changes into the x86 pagefault handler
for making the page fault handler retryable as well as killable.

These changes reduce the mmap_sem hold time, which is crucial
during OOM killer invocation.

Port these changes to MIPS.

Without these changes, my MIPS board encounters many hang and livelock
scenarios.
After applying this patch, OOM feature performance improves according to
my testing.

perf: Remove the nmi parameter from the swevent and overflow interface

2011-07-01T09:06:35+00:00

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.

For the various event classes:

  - hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
    the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
  - tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
  - software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
    perform wakeups, and hence need 0.

As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).

The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

Software events are required as part of the measurable stuff by the
Linux performance counter subsystem. Here is the list of events added by
this patch:
PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS
PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_MIN
PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_MAJ
PERF_COUNT_SW_ALIGNMENT_FAULTS
PERF_COUNT_SW_EMULATION_FAULTS

MIPS: kprobe: Add support.

2010-08-05T12:26:29+00:00

This patch is based on previous work by Sony and Himanshu Chauhan.

I have done some cleanup and implemented JProbes and KRETPROBES.  The
KRETPROBES part is pretty much copied verbatim from powerpc.  A possible
future enhance might be to factor out the common code.
