| * [PATCH] fast vdso implementation for CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_IDMartin Schwidefsky2008-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The extract cpu time instruction (ectg) instruction allows the user process to get the current thread cputime without calling into the kernel. The code that uses the instruction needs to switch to the access registers mode to get access to the per-cpu info page that contains the two base values that are needed to calculate the current cputime from the CPU timer with the ectg instruction.

| * [PATCH] improve idle cputime accountingMartin Schwidefsky2008-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Distinguish the cputime of the idle process where idle is actually using cpu cycles from the cputime where idle is sleeping on an enabled wait psw. The former is accounted as system time, the later as idle time. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

| * [PATCH] improve precision of process accounting.Martin Schwidefsky2008-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The unit of the cputime accouting values that are stored per process is currently a microsecond. The CPU timer has a maximum granularity of 2**-12 microseconds. There is no benefit in storing the per process values in the lesser precision and there is the disadvantage that the backend has to do the rounding to microseconds. The better solution is to use the maximum granularity of the CPU timer as cputime unit. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
| * [PATCH] idle cputime accountingMartin Schwidefsky2008-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cpu time spent by the idle process actually doing something is currently accounted as idle time. This is plain wrong, the architectures that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time. The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time instead of just testing for the idle process. To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu. In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process. This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle time. This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
| * [PATCH] fix scaled & unscaled cputime accountingMartin Schwidefsky2008-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The utimescaled / stimescaled fields in the task structure and the global cpustat should be set on all architectures. On s390 the calls to account_user_time_scaled and account_system_time_scaled never have been added. In addition system time that is accounted as guest time to the user time of a process is accounted to the scaled system time instead of the scaled user time. To fix the bugs and to prevent future forgetfulness this patch merges account_system_time_scaled into account_system_time and account_user_time_scaled into account_user_time.

* | Make %p print '(null)' for NULL pointersLinus Torvalds2009-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before, when we only ever printed out the pointer value itself, a NULL pointer would never cause issues and might as well be printed out as just its numeric value. However, with the extended %p formats, especially %pR, we might validly want to print out resources for debugging. And sometimes they don't even exist, and the resource pointer is just NULL. Print it out as such, rather than oopsing. This is a more generic version of a patch done by Trent Piepho (catching all %p cases rather than just %pR, and using "(null)" instead of "[NULL]" to match glibc).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do not force UBIFS return 0 used space when it is empty.

| * | UBIFS: restore budg_uncommitted_idxArtem Bityutskiy2008-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UBIFS stores uncommitted index size in c->budg_uncommitted_idx, and this affect budgeting calculations.

| * | UBIFS: always commit on unmountArtem Bityutskiy2008-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UBIFS commits on unmount to make the next mount faster. Currently, it commits only if there is more than LEB size bytes in the journal. This is not very good, because journal size may be large (512KiB). And there may be few deletions in the journal which do not take much journal space, but which do introduce a lot of TNC changes and make mount slow. Thus, jurt remove this condition and always commit. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
| * | UBIFS: use ubi_syncArtem Bityutskiy2008-12-31

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Always run commit in sync_fs, because even if the journal seems to be almost empty, there may be a deletion which removes a large file, which affects the index greatly. And because we want better free space predictions after 'sync_fs()', we have to commit. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
| * | UBIFS: fix file-system synchronizationArtem Bityutskiy2008-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Argh. The ->sync_fs call is called _before_ all inodes are flushed. This means we first sync write buffers and commit, then all inodes are synced, and we end up with unflushed write buffers! Fix this by forcing synching all indoes from 'ubifs_sync_fs()'.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The c->min_idx_lebs constant depends on c->old_idx_sz, which is read from the master node.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we commit, but before we try to write anything to the flash media, @c->min_idx_size is inaccurate, because we do not re-calculate it after the commit. Do not forget to do this. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
