2008-11-11sched: rename SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER => SCHED_OMIT_FRAME_POINTERIngo Molnar
Impact: cleanup, change .config option name We had this ugly config name for a long time for hysteric raisons. Rename it to a saner name. We still cannot get rid of it completely, until /proc/<pid>/stack usage replaces WCHAN usage for good. We'll be able to do that in the v2.6.29/v2.6.30 timeframe.

2008-11-06[ARM] xsc3: fix xsc3_l2_inv_rangeDan Williams
When 'start' and 'end' are less than a cacheline apart and 'start' is unaligned we are done after cleaning and invalidating the first cacheline. So check for (start < end) which will not walk off into invalid address ranges when (start > end). This issue was caught by drivers/dma/dmatest. 2.6.27 is susceptible.

2008-11-06[ARM] mm: fix page table initializationRussell King
As a result of the ptebits changes, we ended up marking device mappings as normal memory on ARMv7 CPUs, resulting in undesirable behaviour with serial ports and the like. While reviewing the section mapping table entries, other errors in the memory type settings for devices were detected and confirmed to prevent Xscale3 platforms booting. Tested on: OMAP34xx (ARMv7), OMAP24xx (ARMv6), OMAP16xx (ARM926T, ARMv5), PXA311 (Xscale3), PXA272 (Xscale), PXA255 (Xscale), IXP42x (Xscale), S3C2410 (ARM920T, ARMv4T), ARM720T (ARMv4T) StrongARM-110 (ARMv4) Acked-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> Tested-by: Robert Jarzmik <robert.jarzmik@free.fr> Tested-by: Mike Rapoport <mike@compulab.co.il> Tested-by: Ben Dooks <ben-linux@fluff.org> Tested-by: Anders Grafström <grfstrm@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-11-06[ARM] fix naming of MODULE_START / MODULE_ENDRussell King
As of 73bdf0a60e607f4b8ecc5aec597105976565a84f, the kernel needs to know where modules are located in the virtual address space. On ARM, we located this region between MODULE_START and MODULE_END. Unfortunately, everyone else calls it MODULES_VADDR and MODULES_END. Update ARM to use the same naming, so is_vmalloc_or_module_addr() can work properly. Also update the comment on mm/vmalloc.c to reflect that ARM also places modules in a separate region from the vmalloc space. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-11-06Revert "x86: default to reboot via ACPI"Eduardo Habkost
This reverts commit c7ffa6c26277b403920e2255d10df849bd613380. the assumptio of this change was that this would not break any existing machine. Andrey Borzenkov reported troubles with the ACPI reboot method: the system would hang on reboot, necessiating a power cycle. Probably more systems are affected as well. Also, there are patches queued up for v2.6.29 to disable virtualization on emergency_restart() - which was the original motivation of this change.

Impact: fix rare x2apic hang On x86, x2apic mode accesses for sending IPI's don't have serializing semantics. If the IPI receivner refers(in lock-free fashion) to some memory setup by the sender, the need for smp_mb() before sending the IPI becomes critical in x2apic mode.

2008-11-06x86: don't allow nr_irqs > NR_IRQSBen Hutchings
Impact: fix boot hang on 32-bit systems with more than 224 IO-APIC pins On some 32-bit systems with a lot of IO-APICs probe_nr_irqs() can return a value larger than NR_IRQS. This will lead to probe_irq_on() overrunning the irq_desc array. I hit this when running net-next-2.6 (close to 2.6.28-rc3) on a Supermicro dual Xeon system. NR_IRQS is 224 but probe_nr_irqs() detects 5 IOAPICs and returns 240.

2008-11-05sched: re-tune balancingIngo Molnar
Impact: improve wakeup affinity on NUMA systems, tweak SMP systems Given the fixes+tweaks to the wakeup-buddy code, re-tweak the domain balancing defaults on NUMA and SMP systems. Turn on SD_WAKE_AFFINE which was off on x86 NUMA - there's no reason why we would not want to have wakeup affinity across nodes as well. (we already do this in the standard NUMA template.) lat_ctx on a NUMA box is particularly happy about this change: before: | phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2 | "size=0k ovr=2.60 | 2 5.70 after: | phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2 | "size=0k ovr=2.65 | 2 2.07 a 2.75x speedup. pipe-test is similarly happy about it too: | phoenix:~/sched-tests> ./pipe-test | 18.26 usecs/loop. | 14.70 usecs/loop. | 14.38 usecs/loop. | 10.55 usecs/loop. # +WAKE_AFFINE on domain0+domain1 | 8.63 usecs/loop. | 8.59 usecs/loop. | 9.03 usecs/loop. | 8.94 usecs/loop. | 8.96 usecs/loop. | 8.63 usecs/loop. Also: - disable SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE on NUMA and SMP domains (keep it for siblings) - enable SD_WAKE_BALANCE on SMP domains Sysbench+postgresql improves all around the board, quite significantly: .28-rc3-11474e2c .28-rc3-11474e2c-tune ------------------------------------------------- 1: 571 688 +17.08% 2: 1236 1206 -2.55% 4: 2381 2642 +9.89% 8: 4958 5164 +3.99% 16: 9580 9574 -0.07% 32: 7128 8118 +12.20% 64: 7342 8266 +11.18% 128: 7342 8064 +8.95% 256: 7519 7884 +4.62% 512: 7350 7731 +4.93% ------------------------------------------------- SUM: 55412 59341 +6.62% So it's a win both for the runup portion, the peak area and the tail.

2008-11-04ARM: OMAP: Fix get_irqnr_and_base to clear spurious interrupt bitsTony Lindgren
On omap24xx, INTCPS_SIR_IRQ_OFFSET bits [6:0] contains the current active interrupt number. However, on 34xx INTCPS_SIR_IRQ_OFFSET bits [31:7] also contains the SPURIOUSIRQFLAG, which gets set if the interrupt sorting information is invalid. If the SPURIOUSIRQFLAG bits are not ignored, the interrupt code will occasionally produce a bunch of confusing errors: irq -33, desc: c02ddcc8, depth: 0, count: 0, unhandled: 0 ->handle_irq(): c006f23c, handle_bad_irq+0x0/0x22c ->chip(): 00000000, 0x0 ->action(): 00000000 Fix this by masking out only the ACTIVEIRQ bits.

2008-11-04[ARM] fix VFP+softfloat binariesRussell King
2.6.28-rc tightened up the ELF architecture checks on ARM. For non-EABI it only allows VFP if the hardware supports it. However, the kernel fails to also inspect the soft-float flag, so it incorrectly rejects binaries using soft-VFP. The fix is simple: also check that EF_ARM_SOFT_FLOAT isn't set before rejecting VFP binaries on non-VFP hardware.

2008-11-02sparc64: Fix PCI resource mapping on sparc64Max Dmitrichenko
There is a problem discovered in recent versions of ATI Mach64 driver in X.org on sparc64 architecture. In short, the driver fails to mmap MMIO aperture (PCI resource #2). I've found that kernel's __pci_mmap_make_offset() returns EINVAL. It checks whether user attempts to mmap more than the resource length, which is 0x1000 bytes in our case. But PAGE_SIZE on SPARC64 is 0x2000 and this is what actually is being mmaped. So __pci_mmap_make_offset() failed for this PCI resource.

2008-11-01x86: Clean up late e820 resource allocationLinus Torvalds
This makes the late e820 resources use 'insert_resource_expand_to_fit()' instead of doing a 'reserve_region_with_split()', and also avoids marking them as IORESOURCE_BUSY. This results in us being perfectly happy to use pre-existing PCI resources even if they were marked as being in a reserved region, while still avoiding any _new_ allocations in the reserved regions. It also makes for a simpler and more accurate resource tree. Example resource allocation from Jonathan Corbet, who has firmware that has an e820 reserved entry that covered a big range (e0000000-fed003ff), and that had various PCI resources in it set up by firmware. With old kernels, the reserved range would force us to re-allocate all pre-existing PCI resources, and his reserved range would end up looking like this: e0000000-fed003ff : reserved fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0 fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0 where only the pre-allocated special regions (IOAPIC and HPET) were kept around. With 2.6.28-rc2, which uses 'reserve_region_with_split()', Jonathan's resource tree looked like this: e0000000-fe7fffff : reserved fe800000-fe8fffff : PCI Bus 0000:01 fe800000-fe8fffff : reserved fe900000-fe9d9aff : reserved fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : 0000:00:1f.3 fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : reserved fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : 0000:00:1a.7 fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : reserved fe9da000-fe9dafff : 0000:00:03.3 fe9da000-fe9dafff : reserved fe9db000-fe9dbfff : 0000:00:19.0 fe9db000-fe9dbfff : reserved fe9dc000-fe9dffff : 0000:00:1b.0 fe9dc000-fe9dffff : reserved fe9e0000-fe9fffff : 0000:00:19.0 fe9e0000-fe9fffff : reserved fea00000-fea7ffff : 0000:00:02.0 fea00000-fea7ffff : reserved fea80000-feafffff : 0000:00:02.1 fea80000-feafffff : reserved feb00000-febfffff : 0000:00:02.0 feb00000-febfffff : reserved fec00000-fed003ff : reserved fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0 fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0 and because the reserved entry had been split and moved into the individual resources, and because it used the IORESOURCE_BUSY flag, the drivers that actually wanted to _use_ those resources couldn't actually attach to them: e1000e 0000:00:19.0: BAR 0: can't reserve mem region [0xfe9e0000-0xfe9fffff] HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: BAR 0: can't reserve mem region [0xfe9dc000-0xfe9dffff] with this patch, the resource tree instead becomes e0000000-fed003ff : reserved fe800000-fe8fffff : PCI Bus 0000:01 fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : 0000:00:1f.3 fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : 0000:00:1a.7 fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : ehci_hcd fe9da000-fe9dafff : 0000:00:03.3 fe9db000-fe9dbfff : 0000:00:19.0 fe9db000-fe9dbfff : e1000e fe9dc000-fe9dffff : 0000:00:1b.0 fe9dc000-fe9dffff : ICH HD audio fe9e0000-fe9fffff : 0000:00:19.0 fe9e0000-fe9fffff : e1000e fea00000-fea7ffff : 0000:00:02.0 fea80000-feafffff : 0000:00:02.1 feb00000-febfffff : 0000:00:02.0 fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0 fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0 ie the one reserved region now ends up surrounding all the PCI resources that were allocated inside of it by firmware, and because it is not marked BUSY, drivers have no problem attaching to the pre-allocated resources.

2008-11-01saner FASYNC handling on file closeAl Viro
As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync() need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget. So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set. And lose that crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we don't have to bother anymore.

2008-10-31[CRIS] Remove links from CRIS buildJesper Nilsson
Remove the links to architecture and machine dependent directories (boot, lib, drivers, arch, mach) The links were created and used mostly from the arch/cris/Makefile, so why not dispense with them altogether? Changed $(ARCH) to "cris" in Makefile, it is easier to read this way. The CRISv32 head.S common files for the kernel and compressed images needed to be modified to use ifdefs instead of using the now removed mach link. Since there are only two versions, this is not a huge loss in readability. The link to vmlinux.lds.S is also replaced with a merged version which uses ifdefs to select the correct layout. System.map before and after are identical. Signed-off-by: Jesper Nilsson <jesper.nilsson@axis.com> Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
