| * [CPUFREQ] CPU frequency display in /proc/cpuinfoVenkatesh Pallipadi2005-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | What is the value shown in "cpu MHz" of /proc/cpuinfo when CPUs are capable of changing frequency? Today the answer is: It depends. On i386: SMP kernel - It is always the boot frequency UP kernel - Scales with the frequency change and shows that was last set. On x86_64: There is one single variable cpu_khz that gets written by all the CPUs. So, the frequency set by last CPU will be seen on /proc/cpuinfo of all the CPUs in the system. What you see also depends on whether you have constant_tsc capable CPU or not. On ia64: It is always boot time frequency of a particular CPU that gets displayed. The patch below changes this to: Show the last known frequency of the particular CPU, when cpufreq is present. If cpu doesnot support changing of frequency through cpufreq, then boot frequency will be shown. The patch affects i386, x86_64 and ia64 architectures.

| * [CPUFREQ] Measure transition latency at driver initializationMattia Dongili2005-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch introduces runtime latency measurement for ICH[234] based chipsets instead of using CPUFREQ_ETERNAL. It includes some sanity checks in case the measured value is out of range and assigns a safe value of 500uSec that should still be enough on problematics chipsets (current testing report values ~200uSec). The measurement is currently done in speedstep_get_freqs in order to avoid further unnecessary transitions and in the hope it'll come handy for SMI also.

| * | [PATCH] cpufreq_conservative/ondemand: invert meaning of 'ignore nice'Alexander Clouter2005-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The use of the 'ignore_nice' sysfs file is confusing to anyone using it. This removes the sysfs file 'ignore_nice' and in its place creates a 'ignore_nice_load' entry that defaults to '0'; meaning nice'd processes _are_ counted towards the 'business' calculation. WARNING: this obvious breaks any userland tools that expected ignore_nice' to exist, to draw attention to this fact it was concluded on the mailing list that the entry should be removed altogether so the userland app breaks and so the author can build simple to detect workaround. Having said that it seems currently very few tools even make use of this functionality; all I could find was a Gentoo Wiki entry.

However, asm/param.h is sometimes used in userland (it is included indirectly from <sys/param.h>), so your commit pollutes the userland namespace with tons of CONFIG_FOO macros. This greatly confuses software packages (such as BusyBox) which use CONFIG_FOO macros themselves to control the inclusion of optional features.

After analyzing logs from such machines, it appears that the overtemp code is a bit too quick at shutting the machine down when reaching the critical temperature (tmax + 8) and doesn't leave the fan enough time to actually cool it down. This happens if the temperature of a CPU suddenly rises too high in a very short period of time, or occasionally on boot (that is the CPUs are already overtemp by the time the driver loads). This patches makes the code a bit more relaxed, leaving a few seconds to the fans to do their job before kicking the machine shutown.

This issue lies in the strategy being run twice if the strategy is set to sysctl_string, the general strategy sysctl_string always returns 0 if success. Such strategy routines as sysctl_jiffies and sysctl_jiffies_ms return 1 because they do read and write for the sysctl entry. The strategy routine sysctl_string return 0 although it actually read and write the sysctl entry. According to my analysis, if a strategy routine do read and write, it should return 1, if it just does some necessary check but not read and write, it should return 0, for example sysctl_intvec.

I'm working on a big patch to X that reworks the memory map stuff completely and fixes those issues on the server side, I'll do a DRM patch matching this X fix as well so that the memory map is only ever set in one place and with what I hope is a correct algorithm..."

However, with 1024-byte block cards, we end up setting the capacity to half the number of blocks. Fix this by shifting by the appropriate amount. Thanks to Todd Blumer for pointing this out. Use get_capacity() to report the card capacity, rather than recalculating it from the CSD information. Finally, use our chosen IO block size for the SET_BLOCKLEN command rather than the CSD read block size. Currently these are equivalent, but will not be in the future.

Until when we switch to running on init_stack, current_thread_info() evaluates to crap. Printk uses "current" at times (in detail, &current is evaluated with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK to check the spinlock owner task). And this leads to random segmentation faults. Exactly, what happens is that &current = *(current_thread_info()), i.e. round down $esp and dereference the value. I.e. access the stack below $esp, which causes SIGSEGV on a VM_GROWSDOWN vma (see arch/i386/mm/fault.c).

Retested. Problem remains fixed. Prevent tg3_get_regs() from reading reserved and undocumented registers at RX_CPU_BASE and TX_CPU_BASE offsets which caused hostile behavior on PCIe platforms.

And checking the 2.4.x drivers/sbus/char/sunmouse.c driver shows we always used a 5-byte protocol with Sun mice in the past. I have no idea how the 3-byte thing got into the 2.6.x driver, but it's surely wrong. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
