2009-06-19perf_counter, x86: Improve interactions with fast-gupIngo Molnar
Improve a few details in perfcounter call-chain recording that makes use of fast-GUP: - Use ACCESS_ONCE() to observe the pte value. ptes are fundamentally racy and can be changed on another CPU, so we have to be careful about how we access them. The PAE branch is already careful with read-barriers - but the non-PAE and 64-bit side needs an ACCESS_ONCE() to make sure the pte value is observed only once. - make the checks a bit stricter so that we can feed it any kind of cra^H^H^H user-space input ;-) Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-06-17sched, x86: Fix cpufreq + sched_clock() TSC scalingPeter Zijlstra
For freqency dependent TSCs we only scale the cycles, we do not account for the discrepancy in absolute value. Our current formula is: time = cycles * mult (where mult is a function of the cpu-speed on variable tsc machines) Suppose our current cycle count is 10, and we have a multiplier of 5, then our time value would end up being 50. Now cpufreq comes along and changes the multiplier to say 3 or 7, which would result in our time being resp. 30 or 70. That means that we can observe random jumps in the time value due to frequency changes in both fwd and bwd direction. So what this patch does is change the formula to: time = cycles * frequency + offset And we calculate offset so that time_before == time_after, thereby ridding us of these jumps in time. [ Impact: fix/reduce sched_clock() jumps across frequency changing events ] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Chucked-on-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

2009-06-16kmap_types: make most arches use generic header fileRandy Dunlap
Convert most arches to use asm-generic/kmap_types.h. Move the KM_FENCE_ macro additions into asm-generic/kmap_types.h, controlled by __WITH_KM_FENCE from each arch's kmap_types.h file. Would be nice to be able to add custom KM_types per arch, but I don't yet see a nice, clean way to do that. Built on x86_64, i386, mips, sparc, alpha(tonyb), powerpc(tonyb), and 68k(tonyb). Note: avr32 should be able to remove KM_PTE2 (since it's not used) and then just use the generic kmap_types.h file. Get avr32 maintainer approval.

2009-06-16time: move PIT_TICK_RATE to linux/timex.hArnd Bergmann
PIT_TICK_RATE is currently defined in four architectures, but in three different places. While linux/timex.h is not the perfect place for it, it is still a reasonable replacement for those drivers that traditionally use asm/timex.h to get CLOCK_TICK_RATE and expect it to be the PIT frequency. Note that for Alpha, the actual value changed from 1193182UL to 1193180UL. This is unlikely to make a difference, and probably can only improve accuracy. There was a discussion on the correct value of CLOCK_TICK_RATE a few years ago, after which every existing instance was getting changed to 1193182. According to the specification, it should be 1193181.818181...

2009-06-15x86: Add NMI types for kmap_atomic, fixPeter Zijlstra
I just realized this has a kmap_atomic bug in... The below would fix it - but it's complicating this code some more. Alternatively I would have to introduce something like pte_offset_map_irq() which would make the irq/nmi detection and leave the regular code paths alone, however that would mean either duplicating the gup_fast() pagewalk or passing down a pte function pointer, which would only duplicate the gup_pte_range() bit, neither is really attractive ...

2009-06-15perf_counter: Make set_perf_counter_pending() declaration commonPaul Mackerras
At present, every architecture that supports perf_counters has to declare set_perf_counter_pending() in its arch-specific headers. This consolidates the declarations into a single declaration in one common place, include/linux/perf_counter.h. On powerpc, we continue to provide a static inline definition of set_perf_counter_pending() in the powerpc hw_irq.h. Also, this removes from the x86 perf_counter.h the unused null definitions of {test,clear}_perf_counter_pending.

(Thanks to Pekka Enberg for minimizing the impact on the page fault handler.) As kmemcheck doesn't handle MMX/SSE instructions (yet), we also disable the optimized xor code, and rely instead on the generic C implementation in order to avoid false-positive warnings.

General description: kmemcheck is a patch to the linux kernel that detects use of uninitialized memory. It does this by trapping every read and write to memory that was allocated dynamically (e.g. using kmalloc()). If a memory address is read that has not previously been written to, a message is printed to the kernel log. Thanks to Andi Kleen for the set_memory_4k() solution.

2009-06-12lguest: improve interrupt handling, speed up stream networkingRusty Russell
lguest never checked for pending interrupts when enabling interrupts, and things still worked. However, it makes a significant difference to TCP performance, so it's time we fixed it by introducing a pending_irq flag and checking it on irq_restore and irq_enable. These two routines are now too big to patch into the 8/10 bytes patch space, so we drop that code. Note: The high latency on interrupt delivery had a very curious effect: once everything else was optimized, networking without GSO was faster than networking with GSO, since more interrupts were sent and hence a greater chance of one getting through to the Guest! Note2: (Almost) Closing the same loophole for iret doesn't have any measurable effect, so I'm leaving that patch for the moment. Before: 1GB tcpblast Guest->Host: 30.7 seconds 1GB tcpblast Guest->Host (no GSO): 76.0 seconds After: 1GB tcpblast Guest->Host: 6.8 seconds 1GB tcpblast Guest->Host (no GSO): 27.8 seconds Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2009-06-11PCI: use ACPI _CRS data by defaultJesse Barnes
At this point, it seems to solve more problems than it causes, so let's try using it by default. It's an easy revert if it ends up causing trouble. Reviewed-by: Yinghai Lu <yhlu.kernel@gmail.com> Acked-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>
2009-06-11PCI/x86: don't assume prefetchable ranges are 64bitYinghai Lu
We should not assign 64bit ranges to PCI devices that only take 32bit prefetchable addresses. Try to set IORESOURCE_MEM_64 in 64bit resource of pci_device/pci_bridge and make the bus resource only have that bit set when all devices under it support 64bit prefetchable memory. Use that flag to allocate resources from that range.

2009-06-11asm-generic: rename page.h and uaccess.hArnd Bergmann
The current asm-generic/page.h only contains the get_order function, and asm-generic/uaccess.h only implements unaligned accesses. This renames the file to getorder.h and uaccess-unaligned.h to make room for new page.h and uaccess.h file that will be usable by all simple (e.g. nommu) architectures.

2009-06-11asm-generic: rename atomic.h to atomic-long.hArnd Bergmann
The existing asm-generic/atomic.h only defines the atomic_long type. This renames it to atomic-long.h so we have a place to add a truly generic atomic.h that can be used on all non-SMP systems.
