2005-09-13[PATCH] free initrd mem adjustmentJan Beulich
Besides freeing initrd memory, also clear out the now dangling pointers to it, to make sure accidental late use attempts can be detected. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-07[PATCH] Add rdinit parameter to pick early userspace initOlof Johansson
Since early userspace was added, there's no way to override which init to run from it. Some people tack on an extra cpio archive with a link from /init depending on what they want to run, but that's sometimes impractical. Changing the "init=" to also override the early userspace isn't feasible, since it is still used to indicate what init to run from disk when early userspace has completed doing whatever it's doing (i.e. load filesystem modules and drivers). Instead, introduce "rdinit=" and make it override the default "/init" if specified.

2005-09-07[PATCH] Add warning `init=' to init/main.cAvery, Brian
I passed init=/mylinuxrc to the kernel on the command line. The kernel silently dropped down to exec /sbin/init. It turned out that /mylinuxrc had improper permissions. Without any warning message from the kernel that something was wrong it took awhile to find the issue. The patch below adds a warning.

2005-09-07[PATCH] detect soft lockupsIngo Molnar
This patch adds a new kernel debug feature: CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP. When enabled then per-CPU watchdog threads are started, which try to run once per second. If they get delayed for more than 10 seconds then a callback from the timer interrupt detects this condition and prints out a warning message and a stack dump (once per lockup incident). The feature is otherwise non-intrusive, it doesnt try to unlock the box in any way, it only gets the debug info out, automatically, and on all CPUs affected by the lockup.

2005-08-10[PATCH] kbuild: automatically append a short string to the version based ↵Ryan Anderson
upon the git commit If CONFIG_AUTO_LOCALVERSION is set, the user is using a git-based tree, and the current HEAD is not referred to by any tags in .git/refs/tags/, append -g and the first 8 characters of the commit to the version string. This makes it easier to use git-bisect, and/or to do a daily build, without trampling on your older, working builds, or accidentally setting up conflicting sets of modules.

2005-06-30[PATCH] Improper initrd failure message at boot timeJay Lan
On system boot up, there was an failure reported to boot.msg: <5>Trying to move old root to /initrd ... failed According to initrd(4) man page, step #7 of BOOT-UP OPERATION is described as below: 7. If the normal root file has directory /initrd, device /dev/ram0 is moved from / to /initrd. Otherwise if directory /initrd does not exist device /dev/ram0 is unmounted. We got service calls from customers concerning about this failure message at boot time. Many systems do not have /initrd and thus the message can be changed in the case of non-existing /initrd so that it does not sound like a failure of the system.

2005-06-28[PATCH] Tweak idle thread setup semanticsIngo Molnar
This patch tweaks idle thread setup semantics a bit: instead of setting NEED_RESCHED in init_idle(), we do an explicit schedule() before calling into cpu_idle(). This patch, while having no negative side-effects, enables wider use of cond_resched()s.

2005-06-23[PATCH] Platform SMIs and their interferance with tsc based delay calibrationVenkatesh Pallipadi
Issue: Current tsc based delay_calibration can result in significant errors in loops_per_jiffy count when the platform events like SMIs (System Management Interrupts that are non-maskable) are present. This could lead to potential kernel panic(). This issue is becoming more visible with 2.6 kernel (as default HZ is 1000) and on platforms with higher SMI handling latencies. During the boot time, SMIs are mostly used by BIOS (for things like legacy keyboard emulation). Description: The psuedocode for current delay calibration with tsc based delay looks like (0) Estimate a value for loops_per_jiffy (1) While (loops_per_jiffy estimate is accurate enough) (2) wait for jiffy transition (jiffy1) (3) Note down current tsc (tsc1) (4) loop until tsc becomes tsc1 + loops_per_jiffy (5) check whether jiffy changed since jiffy1 or not and refine loops_per_jiffy estimate Consider the following cases Case 1: If SMIs happen between (2) and (3) above, we can end up with a loops_per_jiffy value that is too low. This results in shorted delays and kernel can panic () during boot (Mostly at IOAPIC timer initialization timer_irq_works() as we don't have enough timer interrupts in a specified interval). Case 2: If SMIs happen between (3) and (4) above, then we can end up with a loops_per_jiffy value that is too high. And with current i386 code, too high lpj value (greater than 17M) can result in a overflow in delay.c:__const_udelay() again resulting in shorter delay and panic(). Solution: The patch below makes the calibration routine aware of asynchronous events like SMIs. We increase the delay calibration time and also identify any significant errors (greater than 12.5%) in the calibration and notify it to user. Patch below changes both i386 and x86-64 architectures to use this new and improved calibrate_delay_direct() routine.

2005-06-21[PATCH] node local per-cpu-pagesChristoph Lameter
This patch modifies the way pagesets in struct zone are managed. Each zone has a per-cpu array of pagesets. So any particular CPU has some memory in each zone structure which belongs to itself. Even if that CPU is not local to that zone. So the patch relocates the pagesets for each cpu to the node that is nearest to the cpu instead of allocating the pagesets in the (possibly remote) target zone. This means that the operations to manage pages on remote zone can be done with information available locally. We play a macro trick so that non-NUMA pmachines avoid the additional pointer chase on the page allocator fastpath.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
