2012-08-13workqueue: CPU hotplug keep idle workersMitch Luban
This change merges two patchsets. The first set, containing 6 patches, reimplements WQ_HIGHPRI to use a seperate worker_pool. gcwq->pools[0] is used for normal priority work and pools[1] for high priority. The second patchset contains 9 patches and reimplements CPU hotplug to keep idle workers. Updates workqueue CPU hotplug path to use a disassociated global_cwq, which runs as an unbound one (WQ_UNBOUND). While this requires rebinding idle workers, overall hotplug path is much simpler.

Almost every platform_driver does the three steps get_resource, request_mem_region, ioremap. This does not only lead to a lot of code duplication, but also a huge number of similar error strings and inconsistent error codes on failure. So, introduce a helper function which simplifies remapping a resource and make it hard to do something wrong and add documentation for it.

2012-01-23iommu/amd: Put IOMMUv2 capable devices in pt_domainJoerg Roedel
If the device starts to use IOMMUv2 features the dma handles need to stay valid. The only sane way to do this is to use a identity mapping for the device and not translate it by the iommu. This is implemented with this patch. Since this lifts the device-isolation there is also a new kernel parameter which allows to disable that feature.

2012-01-23x86, x2apic: Enable the bios request for x2apic optoutSuresh Siddha
On the platforms which are x2apic and interrupt-remapping capable, Linux kernel is enabling x2apic even if the BIOS doesn't. This is to take advantage of the features that x2apic brings in. Some of the OEM platforms are running into issues because of this, as their bios is not x2apic aware. For example, this was resulting in interrupt migration issues on one of the platforms. Also if the BIOS SMI handling uses APIC interface to send SMI's, then the BIOS need to be aware of x2apic mode that OS has enabled. On some of these platforms, BIOS doesn't have a HW mechanism to turnoff the x2apic feature to prevent OS from enabling it. To resolve this mess, recent changes to the VT-d2 specification: http://download.intel.com/technology/computing/vptech/Intel(r)_VT_for_Direct_IO.pdf includes a mechanism that provides BIOS a way to request system software to opt out of enabling x2apic mode. Look at the x2apic optout flag in the DMAR tables before enabling the x2apic mode in the platform. Also print a warning that we have disabled x2apic based on the BIOS request. Kernel boot parameter "intremap=no_x2apic_optout" can be used to override the BIOS x2apic optout request.

2012-01-18KVM: Device assignment permission checksAlex Williamson
(cherry picked from commit 3d27e23b17010c668db311140b17bbbb70c78fb9) Only allow KVM device assignment to attach to devices which: - Are not bridges - Have BAR resources (assume others are special devices) - The user has permissions to use Assigning a bridge is a configuration error, it's not supported, and typically doesn't result in the behavior the user is expecting anyway. Devices without BAR resources are typically chipset components that also don't have host drivers. We don't want users to hold such devices captive or cause system problems by fencing them off into an iommu domain. We determine "permission to use" by testing whether the user has access to the PCI sysfs resource files. By default a normal user will not have access to these files, so it provides a good indication that an administration agent has granted the user access to the device.

2011-11-30PM: runtime: add might_sleep to PM runtime functionsColin Cross
The list of functions that can be called in atomic context is non-intuitive (pm_runtime_put_sync can not, but pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend can, if pm_runtime_irq_safe has been called?). The code is actively misleading - the entry points all start with spin_lock_irqsave, suggesting they are safe to call in atomic context, but may later enable interrupts. Add might_sleep_if to all the __pm_runtime_* entry points to enforce correct usage. Also add pm_runtime_put_sync_autosuspend to the list of functions that can be called in atomic context.

2011-11-30cgroup: Add generic cgroup subsystem permission checksColin Cross
Rather than using explicit euid == 0 checks when trying to move tasks into a cgroup via CFS, move permission checks into each specific cgroup subsystem. If a subsystem does not specify a 'allow_attach' handler, then we fall back to doing our checks the old way. Use the 'allow_attach' handler for the 'cpu' cgroup to allow non-root processes to add arbitrary processes to a 'cpu' cgroup if it has the CAP_SYS_NICE capability set. This version of the patch adds a 'allow_attach' handler instead of reusing the 'can_attach' handler. If the 'can_attach' handler is reused, a new cgroup that implements 'can_attach' but not the permission checks could end up with no permission checks at all.

2011-11-30cpufreq: interactive: New 'interactive' governorMike Chan
This governor is designed for latency-sensitive workloads, such as interactive user interfaces. The interactive governor aims to be significantly more responsive to ramp CPU quickly up when CPU-intensive activity begins. Existing governors sample CPU load at a particular rate, typically every X ms. This can lead to under-powering UI threads for the period of time during which the user begins interacting with a previously-idle system until the next sample period happens. The 'interactive' governor uses a different approach. Instead of sampling the CPU at a specified rate, the governor will check whether to scale the CPU frequency up soon after coming out of idle. When the CPU comes out of idle, a timer is configured to fire within 1-2 ticks. If the CPU is very busy from exiting idle to when the timer fires then we assume the CPU is underpowered and ramp to MAX speed. If the CPU was not sufficiently busy to immediately ramp to MAX speed, then the governor evaluates the CPU load since the last speed adjustment, choosing the highest value between that longer-term load or the short-term load since idle exit to determine the CPU speed to ramp to. A realtime thread is used for scaling up, giving the remaining tasks the CPU performance benefit, unlike existing governors which are more likely to schedule rampup work to occur after your performance starved tasks have completed. The tuneables for this governor are: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/min_sample_time: The minimum amount of time to spend at the current frequency before ramping down. This is to ensure that the governor has seen enough historic CPU load data to determine the appropriate workload. Default is 80000 uS. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/go_maxspeed_load The CPU load at which to ramp to max speed. Default is 85.

2011-11-11PM / Runtime: Automatically retry failed autosuspendsAlan Stern
commit 886486b792e4f6f96d4fbe8ec5bf20811cab7d6a upstream. Originally, the runtime PM core would send an idle notification whenever a suspend attempt failed. The idle callback routine could then schedule a delayed suspend for some time later. However this behavior was changed by commit f71648d73c1650b8b4aceb3856bebbde6daa3b86 (PM / Runtime: Remove idle notification after failing suspend). No notifications were sent, and there was no clear mechanism to retry failed suspends. This caused problems for the usbhid driver, because it fails autosuspend attempts as long as a key is being held down. Therefore this patch (as1492) adds a mechanism for retrying failed autosuspends. If the callback routine updates the last_busy field so that the next autosuspend expiration time is in the future, the autosuspend will automatically be rescheduled.

commit 93b465c2e186d96fb90012ba0f9372eb9952e732 upstream. Since we're using non-atomic radix tree allocations, we should be protecting the tree using a mutex and not a spinlock. Non-atomic allocations and process context locking is good enough, as the tree is manipulated only when locks are registered/ unregistered/requested/freed. The locks themselves are still protected by spinlocks of course, and mutexes are not involved in the locking/unlocking paths.

With commit c814a4c7c4aad795835583344353963a0a673eb0, the meaning of tempX_max was changed. It no longer returns the value of bits 8:15 of MSR_IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET, but instead returns the value of CPU threshold register T1. tempX_max_hyst was added to reflect the value of temperature threshold register T0. As it turns out, T0 and T1 are used on some systems, presumably by the BIOS. Also, T0 and T1 don't have a well defined meaning. The thresholds may be used as upper or lower limits, and it is not guaranteed that T0 <= T1. Thus, the new attribute mapping does not reflect the actual usage of the threshold registers. Also, register contents are changed during runtime by an entity other than the hwmon driver, meaning the values cached by the driver do not reflect actual register contents. Revert most of c814a4c7c4aad795835583344353963a0a673eb0 to address the problem. Support for T0 and T1 will be added back in with a separate commit, using new attribute names.

2011-09-21hwmon: (coretemp) Let the user force TjMaxJean Delvare
On old CPUs (and even some recent Atom CPUs) TjMax can't be read from the CPU registers, so it is guessed by the driver using a complex heuristic which isn't reliable. So let users who know their CPU's TjMax pass it as a module parameter.

2011-09-14memcg: Revert "memcg: add memory.vmscan_stat"Johannes Weiner
Revert the post-3.0 commit 82f9d486e59f5 ("memcg: add memory.vmscan_stat"). The implementation of per-memcg reclaim statistics violates how memcg hierarchies usually behave: hierarchically. The reclaim statistics are accounted to child memcgs and the parent hitting the limit, but not to hierarchy levels in between. Usually, hierarchical statistics are perfectly recursive, with each level representing the sum of itself and all its children. Since this exports statistics to userspace, this may lead to confusion and problems with changing things after the release, so revert it now, we can try again later.
