2007-05-10Revert "[PATCH] paravirt: Add startup infrastructure for paravirtualization"Eric W. Biederman3-45/+0
This reverts commit c9ccf30d77f04064fe5436027ab9d2230c7cdd94. Entering the kernel at startup_32 without passing our real mode data in %esi, and without guaranteeing that physical and virtual addresses are identity mapped makes head.S impossible to maintain. The only user of this infrastructure is lguest which is not merged so nothing we currently support will break by removing this over designed nightmare, and only the pending lguest patches will be affected. The pending Xen patches have a different entry point that they use. We are currently discussing what Xen and lguest need to do to boot the kernel in a more normal fashion so using startup_32 in this weird manner is clearly not their long term direction. So let's remove this code in head.S before it causes brain damage to people trying to maintain head.S Cc: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Zachary Amsden <zach@vmware.com> CC: H.

2007-05-09Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplugRafael J. Wysocki5-0/+11
Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

2007-05-09Use the APIC to determine the hardware processor id - i386Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao1-2/+0
hard_smp_processor_id used to be just a macro that hard-coded hard_smp_processor_id to 0 in the non SMP case. When booting non SMP kernels on hardware where the boot ioapic id is not 0 this turns out to be a problem. This is happens frequently in the case of kdump and once in a great while in the case of real hardware. Use the APIC to determine the hardware processor id in both UP and SMP kernels to fix this issue. Notice that hard_smp_processor_id is only used by SMP code or by code that works with apics so we do not need to handle the case when apics are not present and hard_smp_processor_id should never be called there.

This reverts commit 464bdd33e9baad9806c7adbd8dfc37081a55f27e.

If the option vga=<VESA graphics mode> is added to the boot parameter, it will activate graphics mode, but without any framebuffer support, the user is left with an unusable display. Change the behavior such that the user is instead prompted for another mode (ala vga=ask).

2007-05-08x86, serial: convert legacy COM ports to platform devicesBjorn Helgaas2-0/+68
Make x86 COM ports into platform devices and don't probe for them if we have PNP. This prevents double discovery, where a device was found both by the legacy probe and by 8250_pnp, e.g., serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A 00:02: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A This also means IRDA devices without a UART PNP ID will no longer be claimed by the serial driver, which might require changes in IRDA drivers and administration. In addition to this patch, you may need to configure a setserial init script, e.g., /etc/init.d/setserial, so it doesn't poke legacy UART stuff back in. On Debian, "dpkg-reconfigure setserial" with the "kernel" option does this. To force the old legacy probe behavior even when we have PNPBIOS or ACPI, load the new legacy_serial module (or build 8250 static) with the "legacy_serial.force" option.

2007-05-08Kprobes: The ON/OFF knob thru debugfsAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli1-0/+5
This patch provides a debugfs knob to turn kprobes on/off o A new file /debug/kprobes/enabled indicates if kprobes is enabled or not (default enabled) o Echoing 0 to this file will disarm all installed probes o Any new probe registration when disabled will register the probe but not arm it. A message will be printed out in such a case. o When a value 1 is echoed to the file, all probes (including ones registered in the intervening period) will be enabled o Unregistration will happen irrespective of whether probes are globally enabled or not. o Update Documentation/kprobes.txt to reflect these changes. While there also update the doc to make it current. We are also looking at providing sysrq key support to tie to the disabling feature provided by this patch.

2007-05-08utimensat implementationUlrich Drepper1-0/+1
Implement utimensat(2) which is an extension to futimesat(2) in that it a) supports nano-second resolution for the timestamps b) allows to selectively ignore the atime/mtime value c) allows to selectively use the current time for either atime or mtime d) supports changing the atime/mtime of a symlink itself along the lines of the BSD lutimes(3) functions For this change the internally used do_utimes() functions was changed to accept a timespec time value and an additional flags parameter. Additionally the sys_utime function was changed to match compat_sys_utime which already use do_utimes instead of duplicating the work. Also, the completely missing futimensat() functionality is added. We have such a function in glibc but we have to resort to using /proc/self/fd/* which not everybody likes (chroot etc).

This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place) arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

Add safe (exception handled) variants of rdmsr_on_cpu and wrmsr_on_cpu. You should use these when the target MSR may not actually exist, as doing so could trigger an exception which the regular functions do not handle. The safe variants are slower, though. The upcoming coretemp hardware monitoring driver will need this.

2007-05-07SLUB coreChristoph Lameter1-0/+4
This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

2007-05-07Revert "[PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separation"Linus Torvalds2-10/+9
This was broken. It adds complexity, for no good reason. Rather than separate __pa() and __pa_symbol(), we should deprecate __pa_symbol(), and preferably __pa() too - and just use "virt_to_phys()" instead, which is more readable and has nicer semantics. However, right now, just undo the separation, and make __pa_symbol() be the exact same as __pa(). That fixes the bugs this patch introduced, and we can do the fairly obvious cleanups later. Do the new __phys_addr() function (which is now the actual workhorse for the unified __pa()/__pa_symbol()) as a real external function, that way all the potential issues with compile/link-time optimizations of constant symbol addresses go away, and we can also, if we choose to, add more sanity-checking of the argument.

2007-05-02MSI: arch must connect the irq and the msi_descMichael Ellerman1-2/+2
set_irq_msi() currently connects an irq_desc to an msi_desc. The archs call it at some point in their setup routine, and then the generic code sets up the reverse mapping from the msi_desc back to the irq. set_irq_msi() should do both connections, making it the one and only call required to connect an irq with it's MSI desc and vice versa. The arch code MUST call set_irq_msi(), and it must do so only once it's sure it's not going to fail the irq allocation. Given that there's no need for the arch to return the irq anymore, the return value from the arch setup routine just becomes 0 for success and anything else for failure.

2007-05-02PCI: fix sysfs rom file creation for BIOS ROM shadowsJesse Barnes1-1/+1
At one time, if a BIOS ROM shadow was detected for the boot video device (stored at offset 0xc0000), we'd set a special resource flag, IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW, so that the sysfs ROM file code could handle it properly. That broke along the way somewhere though, so current kernels will be missing 'rom' files in sysfs if the video device doesn't have an explicit ROM BAR. This patch fixes the regression by moving the video fixup quirk to a little later in the boot cycle (to avoid having its work undone by PCI resource allocation) and checking in the PCI sysfs code whether a rom file should be created due to a shadow resource, which is also moved to a little later in the boot cycle so it will occur after the video fixup.

2007-05-02PCI: Cleanup the includes of <linux/pci.h>Jean Delvare2-2/+1
I noticed that many source files include <linux/pci.h> while they do not appear to need it. Here is an attempt to clean it all up. In order to find all possibly affected files, I searched for all files including <linux/pci.h> but without any other occurence of "pci" or "PCI". I removed the include statement from all of these, then I compiled an allmodconfig kernel on both i386 and x86_64 and fixed the false positives manually. My tests covered 66% of the affected files, so there could be false positives remaining.

2007-05-02[PATCH] i386: Add missing !X86_PAE dependincy to the 2G/2G split.Bill Irwin1-1/+5
Only 1GB-aligned kernel/user splits are now handled for PAE. The 2GB/2GB split attempts to avoid aliasing vmallocspace with the 1:1 mapping for physical memory by using an actual split of 1.875/2.125 to accommodate 128MB of vmallocspace out of what would otherwise be a full 2GB for userspace. That attempt disturbs the alignment required by PAE for 2GB/2GB splits, and furthermore does not provide a 2GB/2GB split as advertised. This patch resolves the issues here in two manners. The first is by providing a true 2GB/2GB split in addition to the 1.875/2.125 split. The second is by renaming the 1.875/2.125 split to CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G_OPT analogously to CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G_OPT, which performs a similar manuever to avoid aliasing vmallocspace with the 1:1 mapping for physical memory around the 3GB boundary. With the 1.875/2.125 split properly-named, its config option is then tagged as depending on !HIGHMEM to express the PAE implementation's current inability to deal with such unaligned splits. This patch is essentially a combination of two patches, one written by Eric Biederman and the other by Eric Dumazet. If they could add their Signed-off-by: to this, I'd be much obliged.
