* latencytop: Change Kconfig dependency.Heiko Carstens2008-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | Change latencytop Kconfig entry so it doesn't list the archictectures that support it. Instead introduce HAVE_LATENCY_SUPPORT which any architecture can set. Should reduce patch conflicts.

* futex: Add bitset conditional wait/wakeup functionalityThomas Gleixner2008-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To allow the implementation of optimized rw-locks in user space, glibc needs a possibility to select waiters for wakeup depending on a bitset mask. This requires two new futex OPs: FUTEX_WAIT_BITS and FUTEX_WAKE_BITS These OPs are basically the same as FUTEX_WAIT and FUTEX_WAKE plus an additional argument - a bitset. Further the FUTEX_WAIT_BITS OP is expecting an absolute timeout value instead of the relative one, which is used for the FUTEX_WAIT OP. FUTEX_WAIT_BITS calls into the kernel with a bitset. The bitset is stored in the futex_q structure, which is used to enqueue the waiter into the hashed futex waitqueue. FUTEX_WAKE_BITS also calls into the kernel with a bitset. The wakeup function logically ANDs the bitset with the bitset stored in each waiters futex_q structure. If the result is zero (i.e. none of the set bits in the bitsets is matching), then the waiter is not woken up. If the result is not zero (i.e. one of the set bits in the bitsets is matching), then the waiter is woken. The bitset provided by the caller must be non zero. In case the provided bitset is zero the kernel returns EINVAL. Internaly the new OPs are only extensions to the existing FUTEX_WAIT and FUTEX_WAKE functions. The existing OPs hand a bitset with all bits set into the futex_wait() and futex_wake() functions. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tgxl@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* futex: Remove warn on in return fixup pathThomas Gleixner2008-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The WARN_ON() in the fixup return path of futex_lock_pi() can trigger with false positives. The following scenario happens: t1 holds the futex and t2 and t3 are blocked on the kernel side rt_mutex. t1 releases the futex (and the rt_mutex) and assigned t2 to be the next owner of the futex. t2 is interrupted and returns w/o acquiring the rt_mutex, before t1 can release the rtmutex. t1 releases the rtmutex and t3 becomes the pending owner of the rtmutex. t2 notices that it is the designated owner (user space variable) and fails to acquire the rt_mutex via trylock, because it is not allowed to steal the rt_mutex from t3. Now it looks at the rt_mutex pending owner (t3) and assigns the futex and the pi_state to it. During the fixup t4 steals the rtmutex from t3. t2 returns from the fixup and the owner of the rt_mutex has changed from t3 to t4. There is no need to do another round of fixups from t2. The important part (t2 is not returning as the user space visible owner) is done. The further fixups are done, before either t3 or t4 return to user space. For the user space it is not relevant which task (t3 or t4) is the real owner, as long as those are both in the kernel, which is guaranteed by the serialization of the hash bucket lock. Both tasks (which ever returns first to userspace - t4 because it locked the rt_mutex or t3 due to a signal) are going through the lock_futex_pi() return path where the ownership is fixed before the return to user space.

* x86: replace LOCK_PREFIX in futex.hThomas Gleixner2008-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The exception fixup for the futex macros __futex_atomic_op1/2 and futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is missing an entry when the lock prefix is replaced by a NOP via SMP alternatives. Chuck Ebert tracked this down from the information provided in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=429412 A possible solution would be to add another fixup after the LOCK_PREFIX, so both the LOCK and NOP case have their own entry in the exception table, but it's not really worth the trouble. Simply replace LOCK_PREFIX with lock and keep those untouched by SMP alternatives. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* tick-sched: add more debug informationThomas Gleixner2008-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | To allow better diagnosis of tick-sched related, especially NOHZ related problems, we need to know when the last wakeup via an irq happened and when the CPU left the idle state. Add two fields (idle_waketime, idle_exittime) to the tick_sched structure and add them to the timer_list output.

| * | [IPV4] route cache: Introduce rt_genid for smooth cache invalidationEric Dumazet2008-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current ip route cache implementation is not suited to large caches. We can consume a lot of CPU when cache must be invalidated, since we currently need to evict all cache entries, and this eviction is sometimes asynchronous. min_delay & max_delay can somewhat control this asynchronism behavior, but whole thing is a kludge, regularly triggering infamous soft lockup messages. When entries are still in use, this also consumes a lot of ram, filling dst_garbage.list. A better scheme is to use a generation identifier on each entry, so that cache invalidation can be performed by changing the table identifier, without having to scan all entries. No more delayed flushing, no more stalling when secret_interval expires. Invalidated entries will then be freed at GC time (controled by ip_rt_gc_timeout or stress), or when an invalidated entry is found in a chain when an insert is done. Thus we keep a normal equilibrium. This patch : - renames rt_hash_rnd to rt_genid (and makes it an atomic_t) - Adds a new rt_genid field to 'struct rtable' (filling a hole on 64bit) - Checks entry->rt_genid at appropriate places :

| * | [NET_SCHED]: sch_ingress: remove netfilter supportPatrick McHardy2008-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the old policer code is gone, TC actions are needed for policing. The ingress qdisc can get packets directly from netif_receive_skb() in case TC actions are enabled or through netfilter otherwise, but since without TC actions there is no policer the only thing it actually does is count packets. Remove the netfilter support and always require TC actions. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Acked-by: Jamal Hadi Salim <hadi@cyberus.ca> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * | [MACVLAN]: Setting macvlan_handle_frame_hook to NULL when ↵Rami Rosen2008-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | rtnl_link_register() fails. In drivers/net/macvlan.c, when rtnl_link_register() fails in macvlan_init_module(), there is no point to set it (second time in this method) to macvlan_handle_frame; macvlan_init_module() will return a negative number, so instead this patch sets macvlan_handle_frame_hook to NULL.

| * | [VLAN]: set_rx_mode support for unicast address listChris Leech2008-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reuse the existing logic for multicast list synchronization for the unicast address list. The core of dev_mc_sync/unsync are split out as __dev_addr_sync/unsync and moved from dev_mcast.c to dev.c. These are then used to implement dev_unicast_sync/unsync as well. I'm working on cleaning up Intel's FCoE stack, which generates new MAC addresses from the fibre channel device id assigned by the fabric as per the current draft specification in T11. When using such a protocol in a VLAN environment it would be nice to not always be forced into promiscuous mode, assuming the underlying Ethernet driver supports multiple unicast addresses as well.

| * | [TCP]: Fix a bug in strategy_allowed_congestion_controlShan Wei2008-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In strategy_allowed_congestion_control of the 2.6.24 kernel, when sysctl_string return 1 on success,it should call tcp_set_allowed_congestion_control to set the allowed congestion control.But, it don't. the sysctl_string return 1 on success, otherwise return negative, never return 0.The patch fix the problem.

| * | [IPV4] fib_trie: rescan if key is lost during dumpStephen Hemminger2008-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Normally during a dump the key of the last dumped entry is used for continuation, but since lock is dropped it might be lost. In that case fallback to the old counter based N^2 behaviour. This means the dump will end up skipping some routes which matches what FIB_HASH does.
