* [PATCH] Shrinks sizeof(files_struct) and better layoutEric Dumazet2006-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) Reduce the size of (struct fdtable) to exactly 64 bytes on 32bits platforms, lowering kmalloc() allocated space by 50%. 2) Reduce the size of (files_struct), using a special 32 bits (or 64bits) embedded_fd_set, instead of a 1024 bits fd_set for the close_on_exec_init and open_fds_init fields. This save some ram (248 bytes per task) as most tasks dont open more than 32 files. D-Cache footprint for such tasks is also reduced to the minimum. 3) Reduce size of allocated fdset. Currently two full pages are allocated, that is 32768 bits on x86 for example, and way too much. The minimum is now L1_CACHE_BYTES. UP and SMP should benefit from this patch, because most tasks will touch only one cache line when open()/close() stdin/stdout/stderr (0/1/2), (next_fd, close_on_exec_init, open_fds_init, fd_array[0 .. 2] being in the same cache line) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] ext3_readdir: use generic readaheadAndrew Morton2006-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Linus points out that ext3_readdir's readahead only cuts in when ext3_readdir() is operating at the very start of the directory. So for large directories we end up performing no readahead at all and we suck. So take it all out and use the core VM's page_cache_readahead(). This means that ext3 directory reads will use all of readahead's dynamic sizing goop. Note that we're using the directory's filp->f_ra to hold the readahead state, but readahead is actually being performed against the underlying blockdev's address_space. Fortunately the readahead code is all set up to handle this. Tested with printk. It works. I was struggling to find a real workload which actually cared. (The patch also exports page_cache_readahead() to GPL modules) Cc: "Stephen C. Tweedie" <sct@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] swsusp: add s2ram ioctl to userland interfaceLuca Tettamanti2006-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the SNAPSHOT_S2RAM ioctl to the snapshot device. This ioctl allows a userland application to make the system (previously frozen with the SNAPSHOT_FREE ioctl) enter the S3 state without freezing processes and disabling nonboot CPUs for the second time. This will allow us to implement the suspend-to-disk-and-RAM (STDR) functionality in the userland suspend tools. Signed-off-by: Luca Tettamanti <kronos.it@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] swsusp: userland interfaceRafael J. Wysocki2006-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a user space interface for swsusp. The interface is based on a special character device, called the snapshot device, that allows user space processes to perform suspend and resume-related operations with the help of some ioctls and the read()/write() functions.  Additionally it allows these processes to allocate free swap pages from a selected swap partition, called the resume partition, so that they know which sectors of the resume partition are available to them. The interface uses the same low-level system memory snapshot-handling functions that are used by the built-it swap-writing/reading code of swsusp. The interface documentation is included in the patch. The patch assumes that the major and minor numbers of the snapshot device will be 10 (ie. misc device) and 231, the registration of which has already been requested. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce the low level interface that can be used for handling the snapshot of the system memory by the in-kernel swap-writing/reading code of swsusp and the userland interface code (to be introduced shortly). Also change the way in which swsusp records the allocated swap pages and, consequently, simplifies the in-kernel swap-writing/reading code (this is necessary for the userland interface too). To this end, it introduces two helper functions in mm/swapfile.c, so that the swsusp code does not refer directly to the swap internals. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] i386 spinlocks: disable interrupts only if we enabled themChuck Ebbert2006-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | _raw_spin_lock_flags() is entered with interrupts disabled. If it cannot obtain a spinlock, it checks the flags that were passed and re-enables interrupts before spinning if that's how the flags are set. When the spinlock might be available, it disables interrupts (even if they are already disabled) before trying to get the lock. Change that so interrupts are only disabled if they have been enabled. This costs nine bytes of duplicated spinloop code.

* [PATCH] i386: actively synchronize vmalloc area when registering certain ↵Jan Beulich2006-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | callbacks Registering a callback handler through register_die_notifier() is obviously primarily intended for use by modules. However, the way these currently get called it is basically impossible for them to actually be used by modules, as there is, on non-PAE configurationes, a good chance (the larger the module, the better) for the system to crash as a result. This is because the callback gets invoked (a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and (b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen, since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs, potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences. Besides the modular aspect, similar problems would even arise for in- kernel consumers of the API if they touched ioremap()ed or vmalloc()ed memory inside their handlers.

* [PATCH] x86: early printk handling fixesStas Sergeev2006-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The history is that -mm kernels do not work for me for a few months already. The things started from crashing somewhere after starting init, and for the last month - no boot at all, just "Uncompressing... OK, booting kernel", and silence. Early console didn't work too. With the latest releases this degraded into an infinite stream of the "Unknown interrupt or fault" messages. So today my patience ran out and I started to think how can I collect at least some info for the bug-report. Attached is the patch that allows to gather some valueable debug info on the problem by making an early console more useable. I can't properly test the patch, as the kernel still doesn't boot, so I'll explain it in details in a hope someone else can justify the intrusive changes. arch_hooks.h: added prototypes for setup_early_printk() and early_printk(). setup.c: killed wrong setup_early_printk() prototype. Moved setup_early_printk() a bit earlier, as it was not "early enough" to cover the bug I was fighting with. early_printk.c: made it to start printing from the bottom of the screen, otherwise the messages interfere with the ones of the boot-loader, so you can't read them.

* [PATCH] i386: Add a temporary to make put_user more type safeEric W. Biederman2006-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some code I am developing I had occasion to change the type of a variable. This made the value put_user was putting to user space wrong. But the code continued to build cleanly without errors. Introducing a temporary fixes this problem and at least with gcc-3.3.5 does not cause gcc any problems with optimizing out the temporary. gcc-4.x using SSA internally ought to be even better at optimizing out temporaries, so I don't expect a temporary to become a problem. Especially because in all correct cases the types on both sides of the assignment to the temporary are the same. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [PATCH] x86: SMP alternativesGerd Hoffmann2006-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement SMP alternatives, i.e. switching at runtime between different code versions for UP and SMP. The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP. The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug. With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number of CPUs goes up to 2. Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released afterwards. The changes in detail: * The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file, the SMP alternatives code is added there. * The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel: .smp_altinstructions like .altinstructions, also contains a list of alt_instr structs. .smp_altinstr_replacement like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to save original instruction before replaving it. .smp_locks list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed out on UP. The first two are used to replace more complex instruction sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores. It would be possible to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling them as special case the table sizes become much smaller. * The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they can be free if they are not needed. * Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.

* [PATCH] i386: multi-column stack backtracesChuck Ebbert2006-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Print stack backtraces in multiple columns, saving screen space. Number of columns is configurable and defaults to one so behavior is backwards-compatible. Also removes the brackets around addresses when printing more that one entry per line so they print as: <address> instead of: [<address>] This helps multiple entries fit better on one line.
