| * [POWERPC] Use H_CEDE on non-SMTJake Moilanen2006-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On the JS21 systems, they have the SPLPAR hypertas set, but are not SMT capable. So, they are not making the H_CEDE call. This is causing the hypervisor to have to queue up work for the hdecr, taking an excessive amount of time in maintenance code, and causing jitter on the box. Making the H_CEDE call helps alleviate that problem. Signed-off-by: Jake Moilanen <moilanen@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
| * [POWERPC] force 64bit mode in fwnmi handlers to workaround firmware bugsOlaf Hering2006-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The firmware of POWER4 and JS20 systems does not switch the cpu to 64bit mode when the registered system_reset and machine_check handlers get called. If a 32bit process runs on that cpu at the time of the event, the cpu remains in 32bit mode. xmon and kdump can not deal with it, the result is an error like 'Bad kernel stack pointer fff2aad0 at 3200'. xmon just loses some register info, but booting the kdump kernel usually fails. Both handlers are not hot paths.

| * [POWERPC] Xserve G5 thermal control fixesBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The thermal control for the Xserve G5s had a few issues. For one, the way to program the RPM fans speeds into the FCU is different between it and the desktop models, which I didn't figure out until recently, and it was missing a control loop for the slots fan, running it too fast. Both of those problems were causing the machine to be much more noisy than necessary. This patch also changes the fixed value of the slots fan for desktop G5s to 40% instead of 50%. It seems to still have a pretty good airflow that way and is much less noisy. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

| * [POWERPC] Fix legacy_serial.c error handling on 32 bitsBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code in legacy_serial.c wouldn't properly compare OF translation results against OF_BAD_ADDR as it's using a phys_addr_t which is 32 bits on some 32-bit powerpc platforms. This fixes it by always using a u64 which is what is returned by the OF parsing routines. It also makes translation failure harmless for ISA serial ports. If they can't translate, we can't use the UART early, but we can still let the 8250 driver use it later on by using IO port accessors.

* | [PATCH] rivafb/nvidiafb: race between register_framebuffer and *_bl_initGuido Guenther2006-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since we now use the generic backlight infrastructure, I think we need to call rivafb_bl_init before calling register_framebuffer since otherwise rivafb_bl_init might race with the framebuffer layer already opening the device and setting up the video mode. In this case we might end up with a not yet fully intialized backlight (info->bl_dev still NULL) when calling riva_bl_set_power via rivafb_set_par/rivafb_load_video_mode and the kernel dies without any further notice during boot. This fixes booting current git on a PB 6,1. In this case radeonfb/atyfb would be affected too - I can fix that too but don't have any hardware to test this on. Cc: "Antonino A.

* | [PATCH] radeonfb sleep fixesVolker Braun2006-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many IBM Thinkpad T4* models and some R* and X* with radeon video cards draw too much power when suspended to RAM, reducing drastically the battery lifetime. The solution is to enable suspend-to-D2 on these machines. They are whitelisted through their subsystem vendor/device ID. This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3022 The patch introduces a framework to alter the pm_mode and reinit_func fields of the radeonfb_info structure based on a whitelist. This should facilitate future hardware-dependent workarounds. The workaround for the Samsung P35 that is already in the radeonfb code has been rewritten using this framework. The behavior can be overridden with module options: i) video=radeonfb:force_sleep=1 enable suspend-to-D2 also on non-whitelisted machines (useful for testing new notebook models), ii) video=radeonfb:ignore_devlist=1 Disable checking the whitelist and do not apply any workarounds.

* | [PATCH] fbdev: statically link the framebuffer notification functionsAntonino A. Daplas2006-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The backlight and lcd subsystems can be notified by the framebuffer layer of blanking events. However, these subsystems, as a whole, can function independently from the framebuffer layer. But in order to enable to the lcd and backlight subsystems, the framebuffer has to be compiled also, effectively sucking in a huge amount of unneeded code. To prevent dependency problems, separate out the framebuffer notification mechanism from the framebuffer layer and permanently link it to the kernel.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is entirely possible (though rare) that jiffies half-wraps around, while a dentry/inode remains in the cache. This could mean that the dentry/inode is not invalidated for another half wraparound-time. To get around this problem, use 64-bit jiffies. The only problem with this is that dentry->d_time is 32 bits on 32-bit archs. So use d_fsdata as the high 32 bits. This is an ugly hack, but far simpler, than having to allocate private data just for this purpose. Since 64-bit jiffies can be assumed never to wrap around, simple comparison can be used, and a zero time value can represent "invalid".

* | [PATCH] vDSO hash-style fixRoland McGrath2006-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and dynamically-linked executables. The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces ".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the dynamic linker. The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both. In some new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash". The new ".gnu.hash" sections need to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the dynamic linker cares about their contents. To work with older dynamic linkers (i.e. preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old ".hash" section. The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can still handle. The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO images for the kernel. On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed. This patch addresses the problem in two ways. First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash". This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools), with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both. Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced. This is the most conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland. There is some concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries. The optimizations provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has. If someone wants to use =gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will make any choice work fine.

* | [PATCH] reference rt-mutex-design in rtmutex.cSteven Rostedt2006-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to prevent Doc Rot, this patch adds a reference to the design document for rtmutex.c in rtmutex.c. So when someone needs to update or change the design of that file they will know that a document actually exists that explains the design (helping them change it), and hopefully that they will update the document if they too change the design.

* | [PATCH] Reducing local_bh_enable/disable overhead in irqtraceTim Chen2006-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recent changes from irqtrace feature has added overheads to local_bh_disable and local_bh_enable that reduces UDP performance across x86_64 and IA64, even though IA64 does not support the irqtrace feature. Patch in question is [PATCH]lockdep: irqtrace subsystem, core http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=c ommit;h=de30a2b355ea85350ca2f58f3b9bf4e5bc007986 Prior to this patch, local_bh_disable was a short macro. Now it is a function which calls __local_bh_disable with added irq flags save and restore. The irq flags save and restore were also added to local_bh_enable, probably for injecting the trace irqs code. This overhead is on the generic code path across all architectures. On a IA_64 test machine (Itanium-2 1.6 GHz) running a benchmark like netperf's UDP streaming test, the added overhead results in a drop of 3% in throughput, as udp_sendmsg calls the local_bh_enable/disable several times. Other workloads that have heavy usages of local_bh_enable/disable could also be affected. The patch ideally should not have affected IA-64 performance as it does not have IRQ tracing support. A significant portion of the overhead is in the added irq flags save and restore, which I think is not needed if IRQ tracing is unused. A suggested patch is attached below that recovers the lost performance. However, the "ifdef"s in the patch are a bit ugly.
