* [PATCH] Fbdev driver for IBM GXT4500P videocardsPaul Mackerras2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an fbdev driver for the IBM GXT4500P display card found in some IBM System P (pSeries) machines. These cards have hardware 2D and 3D capabilities, but the driver does not use them; it just exports a dumb framebuffer.

* [PATCH] ide-cd: Handle strange interrupt on the Intel ESB2Alan Cox2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ESB2 appears to emit spurious DMA interrupts when configured for native mode and handling ATAPI devices. Stratus were able to pin this bug down and produce a patch. This is a rework which applies the fixup only to the ESB2 (for now). We can apply it to other chips later if the same problem is found. This code has been tested and confirmed to fix the problem on the tested systems.

* [PATCH] sched: decrease number of load balancesSiddha, Suresh B2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently at a particular domain, each cpu in the sched group will do a load balance at the frequency of balance_interval. More the cores and threads, more the cpus will be in each sched group at SMP and NUMA domain. And we endup spending quite a bit of time doing load balancing in those domains. Fix this by making only one cpu(first idle cpu or first cpu in the group if all the cpus are busy) in the sched group do the load balance at that particular sched domain and this load will slowly percolate down to the other cpus with in that group(when they do load balancing at lower domains).

* [PATCH] sched: improve migration accuracyMike Galbraith2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Co-opt rq->timestamp_last_tick to maintain a cache_hot_time evaluation reference timestamp at both tick and sched times to prevent said reference, formerly rq->timestamp_last_tick, from being behind task->last_ran at evaluation time, and to move said reference closer to current time on the remote processor, intent being to improve cache hot evaluation and timestamp adjustment accuracy for task migration. Fix minor sched_time double accounting error which occurs when a task passing through schedule() does not schedule off, and takes the next timer tick.

* [PATCH] sched: call tasklet less frequentlyChristoph Lameter2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Trigger softirq less frequently We trigger the softirq before this patch using offset of sd->interval. However, if the queue is busy then it is sufficient to schedule the softirq with sd->interval * busy_factor. So we modify the calculation of the next time to balance by taking the interval added to last_balance again. This is only the right value if the idle/busy situation continues as is. There are two potential trouble spots: - If the queue was idle and now gets busy then we call rebalance early. However, that is not a problem because we will then use the longer interval for the next period. - If the queue was busy and becomes idle then we potentially wait too long before rebalancing. However, when the task goes idle then idle_balance is called. We add another calculation of the next balance time based on sd->interval in idle_balance so that we will rebalance soon. V2->V3: - Calculate rebalance time based on current jiffies and not based on the jiffies at the last time we load balanced. We no longer rely on staggering and therefore we can affort to do this now. V3->V4: - Use functions to do jiffy comparisons.

* [PATCH] sched: extract load calculation from rebalance_tickChristoph Lameter2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A load calculation is always done in rebalance_tick() in addition to the real load balancing activities that only take place when certain jiffie counts have been reached. Move that processing into a separate function and call it directly from scheduler_tick(). Also extract the time slice handling from scheduler_tick and put it into a separate function. Then we can clean up scheduler_tick significantly. It will no longer have any gotos.

* [PATCH] sched: remove staggering of load balancingChristoph Lameter2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Timer interrupts already are staggered. We do not need an additional layer of time staggering for short load balancing actions that take a reasonably small portion of the time slice. For load balancing on large sched_domains we will add a serialization later that avoids concurrent load balance operations and thus has the same effect as load staggering.

* [PATCH] sched domain: increase the SMT busy rebalance intervalSiddha, Suresh B2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With SMT, if the logical processor is busy, load balance happens for every 8msec(min)-16msec(max). There is no need to do this often, as this is just for fairness(to maintain uniform runqueue lengths) and default time slice anyhow is 100msec.

* [PATCH] io-accounting: report in procfsAndrew Morton2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a simple /proc/pid/io to show the IO accounting fields. Maybe this shouldn't be merged in mainline - the preferred reporting channel is taskstats. But given the poor state of our userspace support for taskstats, this is useful for developer-testing, at least. And it improves the changes that the procps developers will wire it up into top(1). Opinions are sought. The patch also wires up the existing IO-accounting fields. It's a bit racy on 32-bit machines: if process A reads process B's /proc/pid/io while process B is updating one of those 64-bit counters, process A could see an intermediate result.

* [PATCH] io-accounting: write accountingAndrew Morton2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Accounting writes is fairly simple: whenever a process flips a page from clean to dirty, we accuse it of having caused a write to underlying storage of PAGE_CACHE_SIZE bytes. This may overestimate the amount of writing: the page-dirtying may cause only one buffer_head's worth of writeout. Fixing that is possible, but probably a bit messy and isn't obviously important.

* [PATCH] io-accounting: core statisticsAndrew Morton2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The present per-task IO accounting isn't very useful. It simply counts the number of bytes passed into read() and write(). So if a process reads 1MB from an already-cached file, it is accused of having performed 1MB of I/O, which is wrong. (David Wright had some comments on the applicability of the present logical IO accounting: For billing purposes it is useless but for workload analysis it is very useful read_bytes/read_calls average read request size write_bytes/write_calls average write request size read_bytes/read_blocks ie logical/physical can indicate hit rate or thrashing write_bytes/write_blocks ie logical/physical guess since pdflush writes can be missed I often look for logical larger than physical to see filesystem cache problems. And the bytes/cpusec can help find applications that are dominating the cache and causing slow interactive response from page cache contention. I want to find the IO intensive applications and make sure they are doing efficient IO. Thus the acctcms(sysV) or csacms command would give the high IO commands). This patchset adds new accounting which tries to be more accurate. We account for three things: reads: attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause to be fetched from the storage layer. Done at the submit_bio() level, so it is accurate for block-backed filesystems. I also attempt to wire up NFS and CIFS. writes: attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent to the storage layer. This is done at page-dirtying time. The big inaccuracy here is truncate. If a process writes 1MB to a file and then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout. But it will have been accounted as having caused 1MB of write. So... cancelled_writes: account the number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, by truncating pagecache. We _could_ just subtract this from the process's `write' accounting. But that means that some processes would be reported to have done negative amounts of write IO, which is silly. So we just report the raw number and punt this decision up to userspace. Now, we _could_ account for writes at the physical I/O level. But - This would require that we track memory-dirtying tasks at the per-page level (would require a new pointer in struct page). - It would mean that IO statistics for a process are usually only available long after that process has exitted. Which means that we probably cannot communicate this info via taskstats. This patch: Wire up the kernel-private data structures and the accessor functions to manipulate them.

* [PATCH] pdc202xx_new: fix PLL/timing issuesSergei Shtylyov2006-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the CRC errors in the higher UltraDMA modes with the Promise PDC20268 and newer chips that always occur on non-x86 machines and when there are more than 2 adapters on x86 machines. Fix the overclocking issue for PDC20269 and newer chips that occurs when an UltraDMA/133 capable drive is connected. Here's the summary of changes: - add code to detect the PLL input clock detection and setup it output clock, remove the PowerMac hacks; - replace the macros accessing the indexed regiters with functions, switch to using them where appropriate, gather the PIO/MWDMA/UDMA timings into tables; - rewrite the speedproc() handler to set the drive's transfer mode first, and then override the timing registers set by hardware on UltraDMA/133 chips; - use better criterion for determining higher UltraDMA modes, and add comment concerning the doubtful value of the code enabling IORDY/prefetch; - replace the stupid 'pdcnew_new_' prefixes with mere 'pdcnew_'; - get rid of unneded spaces, parens and type casts, clean up some printk's, add some new lines here and there... This work is loosely based on these former patches by Albert Lee: [1] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992442032300 [2] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992457729382 [3] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=110992474205555 [4] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=111019224802939 Some PLL clock detection code was backported from his pata_pdc2027x driver... This code has been successfully tested by me on PDC2026[89] chips. I tried to keep this rework as several patches but it made no sense: [2] was largely a modification of the non-working timing override code, [3] by itself extended the overclocking issue to the case of non-UltraDMA/133 drives, and finally, the cleanup patch based on [1] ended up rejected...
