* ad525x_dpot: add support for SPI partsMichael Hennerich2010-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split the bus logic out into separate files so that we can handle I2C and SPI busses independently. The new SPI bus logic brings in support for a lot more parts: AD5160, AD5161, AD5162, AD5165, AD5200, AD5201, AD5203, AD5204, AD5206, AD5207, AD5231, AD5232, AD5233, AD5235, AD5260, AD5262, AD5263, AD5290, AD5291, AD5292, AD5293, AD7376, AD8400, AD8402, AD8403, ADN2850 [randy.dunlap@oracle.com: fix ad525X_dpot build] Signed-off-by: Michael Hennerich <michael.hennerich@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* ratelimit: add ratelimit_state_init()OGAWA Hirofumi2010-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | For now, all users of ratelimit_state allocates it statically, so DEFINE_RATELIMIT_STATE() is enough. But, I want to use ratelimit_state for fs, i.e. per super_block to suppress too many error reports. So, this adds ratelimit_state_init() to initialize ratelimite_state which is dynamically allocated, instead of opencoding.

* asm-generic: don't warn that atomic_t is only 24 bitPeter Fritzsche2010-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 32-bit Sparc used to only allow usage of 24-bit of it's atomic_t type. This was corrected with linux 2.6.3 when Keith M Wesolowski changed the implementation to use the parisc approach of having an array of spinlocks to protect the atomic_t. These warnings were also removed from the sparc implementation when the new implementation was merged in BKrev:402e4949VThdc6D3iaosSFUgabMfvw, but the warning still remained in some other places without any 24-bit-only atomic_t implementation inside the kernel. We should remove these warnings to allow users to rely on the full 32-bit range of atomic_t.

* ntfs: use add_to_page_cache_lru()Minchan Kim2010-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Quote from Nick piggin's about btrfs patch - http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org/msg04472.html. "add_to_page_cache_lru is exported, so it should be used. Benefits over using a private pagevec: neater code, 128 bytes fewer stack used, percpu lru ordering is preserved, and finally don't need to flush pagevec before returning so batching may be shared with other LRU insertions." Let's use it instead of private pagevec in ntfs, too.

* hangcheck-timer: fix x86_32 bugsYury Polyanskiy2010-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | drivers/char/hangcheck-timer.c is doubly broken. When the overflown value of TIMER_FREQ is abnormally low, it spams the syslog with KERN_CRIT messages "Hangcheck: hangcheck value past margin!" But whether it happens or not depends on HZ and lpj in a complex way. People have hit it occasionally as far as google search can tell. First, the following line overflows unsigned long: # define TIMER_FREQ (HZ*loops_per_jiffy) Second, and more importantly, loops_per_jiffy has little to do with the con= version from the the time scale of get_cycles() (aka rdtsc) to the time scale of jiffies. The attached patch resolves both of the problems.

* endian: #define __BYTE_ORDERJoakim Tjernlund2010-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Linux does not define __BYTE_ORDER in its endian header files which makes some header files bend backwards to get at the current endian. Lets #define __BYTE_ORDER in big_endian.h/litte_endian.h to make it easier for header files that are used in user space too. In userspace the convention is that 1. _both_ __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN are defined, 2. you have to test for e.g. __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN.

* cpuidle: add a repeating pattern detector to the menu governorArjan van de Ven2010-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the menu governor uses the (corrected) next timer as key item for predicting the idle duration. It turns out that there are specific cases where this breaks down: There are cases where we have a very repetitive pattern of idle durations, where the idle period is pretty much the same, for reasons completely unrelated to the next timer event. Examples of such repeating patterns are network loads with irq mitigation, the mouse moving but in theory also the wifi beacons. This patch adds a relatively simple detector for such repeating patterns, where the standard deviation of the last 8 idle periods is compared to a threshold. With this extra predictor in place, measurements show that the DECAY factor can now be increased (the decaying average will now decay slower) to get an even more stable result.

It was wrong. (I thought irqs_disabled() is only available when the architecture has CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT) Remove the #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT check to enable kmap_atomic() debugging for the architectures which do not have CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT.

* cpu/mem hotplug: enable CPUs online before local memory onlineminskey guo2010-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enable users to online CPUs even if the CPUs belongs to a numa node which doesn't have onlined local memory. The zonlists(pg_data_t.node_zonelists[]) of a numa node are created either in system boot/init period, or at the time of local memory online. For a numa node without onlined local memory, its zonelists are not initialized at present. As a result, any memory allocation operations executed by CPUs within this node will fail. In fact, an out-of-memory error is triggered when attempt to online CPUs before memory comes to online. This patch tries to create zonelists for such numa nodes, so that the memory allocation for this node can be fallback'ed to other nodes.

* vmscan: prevent get_scan_ratio() rounding errorsShaohua Li2010-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | get_scan_ratio() calculates percentage and if the percentage is < 1%, it will round percentage down to 0% and cause we completely ignore scanning anon/file pages to reclaim memory even the total anon/file pages are very big. To avoid underflow, we don't use percentage, instead we directly calculate how many pages should be scaned. In this way, we should get several scanned pages for < 1% percent. This has some benefits: 1. increase our calculation precision 2. making our scan more smoothly. Without this, if percent[x] is underflow, shrink_zone() doesn't scan any pages and suddenly it scans all pages when priority is zero. With this, even priority isn't zero, shrink_zone() gets chance to scan some pages. Note, this patch doesn't really change logics, but just increase precision. For system with a lot of memory, this might slightly changes behavior. For example, in a sequential file read workload, without the patch, we don't swap any anon pages. With it, if anon memory size is bigger than 16G, we will see one anon page swapped. The 16G is calculated as PAGE_SIZE * priority(4096) * (fp/ap). fp/ap is assumed to be 1024 which is common in this workload. So the impact sounds not a big deal.

* mm: compaction: defer compaction using an exponential backoff when ↵Mel Gorman2010-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | compaction fails The fragmentation index may indicate that a failure is due to external fragmentation but after a compaction run completes, it is still possible for an allocation to fail. There are two obvious reasons as to why o Page migration cannot move all pages so fragmentation remains o A suitable page may exist but watermarks are not met In the event of compaction followed by an allocation failure, this patch defers further compaction in the zone (1 << compact_defer_shift) times. If the next compaction attempt also fails, compact_defer_shift is increased up to a maximum of 6. If compaction succeeds, the defer counters are reset again. The zone that is deferred is the first zone in the zonelist - i.e. the preferred zone. To defer compaction in the other zones, the information would need to be stored in the zonelist or implemented similar to the zonelist_cache. This would impact the fast-paths and is not justified at this time.

* mm: compaction: add a tunable that decides when memory should be compacted ↵Mel Gorman2010-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | and when it should be reclaimed The kernel applies some heuristics when deciding if memory should be compacted or reclaimed to satisfy a high-order allocation. One of these is based on the fragmentation. If the index is below 500, memory will not be compacted. This choice is arbitrary and not based on data. To help optimise the system and set a sensible default for this value, this patch adds a sysctl extfrag_threshold. The kernel will only compact memory if the fragmentation index is above the extfrag_threshold.

* mm: compaction: direct compact when a high-order allocation failsMel Gorman2010-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ordinarily when a high-order allocation fails, direct reclaim is entered to free pages to satisfy the allocation. With this patch, it is determined if an allocation failed due to external fragmentation instead of low memory and if so, the calling process will compact until a suitable page is freed. Compaction by moving pages in memory is considerably cheaper than paging out to disk and works where there are locked pages or no swap. If compaction fails to free a page of a suitable size, then reclaim will still occur. Direct compaction returns as soon as possible. As each block is compacted, it is checked if a suitable page has been freed and if so, it returns.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is the core of a mechanism which compacts memory in a zone by relocating movable pages towards the end of the zone. A single compaction run involves a migration scanner and a free scanner. Both scanners operate on pageblock-sized areas in the zone. The migration scanner starts at the bottom of the zone and searches for all movable pages within each area, isolating them onto a private list called migratelist. The free scanner starts at the top of the zone and searches for suitable areas and consumes the free pages within making them available for the migration scanner. The pages isolated for migration are then migrated to the newly isolated free pages.
