* smaps: add clear_refs file to clear referenceDavid Rientjes2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds /proc/pid/clear_refs. When any non-zero number is written to this file, pte_mkold() and ClearPageReferenced() is called for each pte and its corresponding page, respectively, in that task's VMAs. This file is only writable by the user who owns the task. It is now possible to measure _approximately_ how much memory a task is using by clearing the reference bits with echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs and checking the reference count for each VMA from the /proc/pid/smaps output at a measured time interval. For example, to observe the approximate change in memory footprint for a task, write a script that clears the references (echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs), sleeps, and then greps for Pgs_Referenced and extracts the size in kB. Add the sizes for each VMA together for the total referenced footprint. Moments later, repeat the process and observe the difference. For example, using an efficient Mozilla: accumulated time referenced memory ---------------- ----------------- 0 s 408 kB 1 s 408 kB 2 s 556 kB 3 s 1028 kB 4 s 872 kB 5 s 1956 kB 6 s 416 kB 7 s 1560 kB 8 s 2336 kB 9 s 1044 kB 10 s 416 kB This is a valuable tool to get an approximate measurement of the memory footprint for a task.

* smaps: add pages referenced count to smapsDavid Rientjes2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds an additional unsigned long field to struct mem_size_stats called 'referenced'. For each pte walked in the smaps code, this field is incremented by PAGE_SIZE if it has pte-reference bits. An additional line was added to the /proc/pid/smaps output for each VMA to indicate how many pages within it are currently marked as referenced or accessed.

* smaps: extract pmd walker from smaps codeDavid Rientjes2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extracts the pmd walker from smaps-specific code in fs/proc/task_mmu.c. The new struct pmd_walker includes the struct vm_area_struct of the memory to walk over. Iteration begins at the vma->vm_start and completes at vma->vm_end. A pointer to another data structure may be stored in the private field such as struct mem_size_stats, which acts as the smaps accumulator. For each pmd in the VMA, the action function is called with a pointer to its struct vm_area_struct, a pointer to the pmd_t, its start and end addresses, and the private field. The interface for walking pmd's in a VMA for fs/proc/task_mmu.c is now: void for_each_pmd(struct vm_area_struct *vma, void (*action)(struct vm_area_struct *vma, pmd_t *pmd, unsigned long addr, unsigned long end, void *private), void *private); Since the pmd walker is now extracted from the smaps code, smaps_one_pmd() is invoked for each pmd in the VMA. Its behavior and efficiency is identical to the existing implementation.

* i386: use pte_update_defer in ptep_test_and_clear_{dirty,young}Zachary Amsden2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you actually clear the bit, you need to: + pte_update_defer(vma->vm_mm, addr, ptep); The reason is, when updating PTEs, the hypervisor must be notified. Using atomic operations to do this is fine for all hypervisors I am aware of. However, for hypervisors which shadow page tables, if these PTE modifications are not trapped, you need a post-modification call to fulfill the update of the shadow page table.

The overall net effect to current users of ptep_clear_flush_{dirty,young} is that we introduce an additional branch.

* Add unitialized_var() macro for suppressing gcc warningsBorislav Petkov2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a macro for suppressing gcc from generating a warning about a probable uninitialized state of a variable. Example: - spinlock_t *ptl; + spinlock_t *uninitialized_var(ptl); Not a happy solution, but those warnings are obnoxious. - Using the usual pointlessly-set-it-to-zero approach wastes several bytes of text. - Using a macro means we can (hopefully) do something else if gcc changes cause the `x = x' hack to stop working - Using a macro means that people who are worried about hiding true bugs can easily turn it off.

* add pfn_valid_within helper for sub-MAX_ORDER hole detectionAndy Whitcroft2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generally we work under the assumption that memory the mem_map array is contigious and valid out to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block of pages, ie. that if we have validated any page within this MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block we need not check any other. This is not true when CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is set and we must check each and every reference we make from a pfn. Add a pfn_valid_within() helper which should be used when scanning pages within a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block when we have already checked the validility of the block normally with pfn_valid(). This can then be optimised away when we do not have holes within a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block of pages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __block_write_full_page is calling SetPageUptodate without the page locked. This is unusual, but not incorrect, as PG_writeback is still set. However the next patch will require that SetPageUptodate always be called with the page locked. Simply don't bother setting the page uptodate in this case (it is unusual that the write path does such a thing anyway). Instead just leave it to the read side to bring the page uptodate when it notices that all buffers are uptodate.

* Use ZVC counters to establish exact size of dirtyable pagesChristoph Lameter2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can use the global ZVC counters to establish the exact size of the LRU and the free pages. This allows a more accurate determination of the dirty ratio. This patch will fix the broken ratio calculations if large amounts of memory are allocated to huge pags or other consumers that do not put the pages on to the LRU. Notes: - I did not add NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE to the calculation of the dirtyable pages. Those may be reclaimable but they are at this point not dirtyable. If NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE would be considered then a huge number of reclaimable pages would stop writeback from occurring. - This patch used to be in mm as the last one in a series of patches. It was removed when Linus updated the treatment of highmem because there was a conflict. I updated the patch to follow Linus' approach. This patch is neede to fulfill the claims made in the beginning of the patchset that is now in Linus' tree.

* Safer nr_node_ids and nr_node_ids determination and initial valuesChristoph Lameter2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The nr_cpu_ids value is currently only calculated in smp_init. However, it may be needed before (SLUB needs it on kmem_cache_init!) and other kernel components may also want to allocate dynamically sized per cpu array before smp_init. So move the determination of possible cpus into sched_init() where we already loop over all possible cpus early in boot. Also initialize both nr_node_ids and nr_cpu_ids with the highest value they could take. If we have accidental users before these values are determined then the current valud of 0 may cause too small per cpu and per node arrays to be allocated. If it is set to the maximum possible then we only waste some memory for early boot users.

* Add apply_to_page_range() which applies a function to a pte rangeJeremy Fitzhardinge2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new mm function apply_to_page_range() which applies a given function to every pte in a given virtual address range in a given mm structure. This is a generic alternative to cut-and-pasting the Linux idiomatic pagetable walking code in every place that a sequence of PTEs must be accessed. Although this interface is intended to be useful in a wide range of situations, it is currently used specifically by several Xen subsystems, for example: to ensure that pagetables have been allocated for a virtual address range, and to construct batched special pagetable update requests to map I/O memory (in ioremap()).

* MPSC serial driver tx lockingDave Jiang2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The MPSC serial driver assumes that interrupt is always on to pick up the DMA transmit ops that aren't submitted while the DMA engine is active. However when irqs are off for a period of time such as operations under kernel crash dump console messages do not show up due to additional DMA ops are being dropped. This makes console writes to process through all the tx DMAs queued up before submitting a new request. Also, the current locking mechanism does not protect the hardware registers and ring buffer when a printk is done during the serial write operations. The additional per port transmit lock provides a finer granular locking and protects registers being clobbered while printks are nested within UART writes.

* serial: define FIXED_PORT flag for serial_coreDavid Gibson2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present, the serial core always allows setserial in userspace to change the port address, irq and base clock of any serial port. That makes sense for legacy ISA ports, but not for (say) embedded ns16550 compatible serial ports at peculiar addresses. In these cases, the kernel code configuring the ports must know exactly where they are, and their clocking arrangements (which can be unusual on embedded boards). It doesn't make sense for userspace to change these settings. Therefore, this patch defines a UPF_FIXED_PORT flag for the uart_port structure. If this flag is set when the serial port is configured, any attempts to alter the port's type, io address, irq or base clock with setserial are ignored. In addition this patch uses the new flag for on-chip serial ports probed in arch/powerpc/kernel/legacy_serial.c, and for other hard-wired serial ports probed by drivers/serial/of_serial.c.

* serial driver PMC MSP71xxMarc St-Jean2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Serial driver patch for the PMC-Sierra MSP71xx devices. There are three different fixes: 1 Fix for DesignWare APB THRE errata: In brief, this is a non-standard 16550 in that the THRE interrupt will not re-assert itself simply by disabling and re-enabling the THRI bit in the IER, it is only re-enabled if a character is actually sent out. It appears that the "8250-uart-backup-timer.patch" in the "mm" tree also fixes it so we have dropped our initial workaround. This patch now needs to be applied on top of that "mm" patch. 2 Fix for Busy Detect on LCR write: The DesignWare APB UART has a feature which causes a new Busy Detect interrupt to be generated if it's busy when the LCR is written. This fix saves the value of the LCR and rewrites it after clearing the interrupt. 3 Workaround for interrupt/data concurrency issue: The SoC needs to ensure that writes that can cause interrupts to be cleared reach the UART before returning from the ISR. This fix reads a non-destructive register on the UART so the read transaction completion ensures the previously queued write transaction has also completed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * kbuild: scripts/basic/fixdep segfault on pathological string-o-deathAndy Green2007-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | build scripts: fixdep blows segfault on string CONFIG_MODULE seen The string "CONFIG_MODULE" appearing anywhere in a source file causes fixdep to segfault. This string appeared in the wild in the current mISDN sources (I think they meant CONFIG_MODULES). But it shouldn't segfault (esp as CONFIG_MODULE appeared in a quoted string).

| * kbuild: propagate errors from find in scripts/gen_initramfs_list.shMichael Ellerman2007-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the find(1) in scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh generates any errors, it will cause gen_initramfs_list.sh to fail (because of "set -e"), however the errors from find are not printed to the user. This is rather confusing: ~/src/powerpc$ make O=~/build/powerpc-cell32/ make[2]: *** [usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz] Error 1 make[1]: *** [usr] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: *** wait: No child processes. Stop. make: *** [_all] Error 2 It is much easier to work out what the problem is if we let the errors from find hit the console, eg: ~/src/powerpc$ make O=~/build/powerpc-cell32/ find: /home/michael/initramfs-source/home: Permission denied find: /home/michael/initramfs-source/lost+found: Permission denied find: /home/michael/initramfs-source/opt: Permission denied find: /home/michael/initramfs-source/root: Permission denied make[2]: *** [usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz] Error 1 make[1]: *** [usr] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: *** wait: No child processes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We do not support qt4 (yet) so the simple fix was to warn that qt3 are missing.

| * kbuild: handle compressed cpio initramfs-esAlex Landau2007-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make kbuild handle compressed cpio initramfs-es. An already compressed cpio is copied directly to usr/, while a non-compressed cpio is filtered through gzip (no changes here) on its way to usr/. If the user has created a compressed cpio by other means, this saves him from uncompressing it, just to be compressed again by kbuild.

| * kbuild/mkuboot.sh: allow spaces in CROSS_COMPILEUwe kleine-König2007-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I'm currently using CROSS_COMPILE="ccache arm-linux-". With that the bash builtin command "type" searches for ccache and arm-linux-mkimage and so sets MKIMAGE="/path/to/ccache" as I don't have arm-linux-mkimage. Then the script dies with an error, that ccache doesn't support the argument -A. This patch adds some quoting such that it works again for me. Please note that this patch doesn't help you if you use ${CROSSCOMPILE}-mkimage and ccache as mkuboot.sh now searches for the command "ccache arm-linux-mkimage".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION to make it possible to override kernel build version during build time. Introduce KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP to make it possible to override kernel build timestamp during build time. But variables are useful mainly by distros that want to pass info from an SCM when building the kernel.

The current text is mostly a recursive definition and doesn't really say much of anything. When I first read this I thought it was going to enable extra verbosity in debug messages or something, but it is only enabling the "gcc -g" compile option in the Makefile.
