* [PATCH] Add a sysfs file to determine if a kexec kernel is loadedJeff Moyer2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | Create two files in /sys/kernel, kexec_loaded and kexec_crash_loaded. Each file contains a simple boolean value indicating whether the relevant kernel has been loaded into memory. The motivation for this is geared around support.

* [PATCH] s390_hypfs filesystemMichael Holzheu2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On zSeries machines there exists an interface which allows the operating system to retrieve LPAR hypervisor accounting data. For example, it is possible to get usage data for physical and virtual cpus. In order to provide this information to user space programs, I implemented a new virtual Linux file system named 's390_hypfs' using the Linux 2.6 libfs framework. The name 's390_hypfs' stands for 'S390 Hypervisor Filesystem'. All the accounting information is put into different virtual files which can be accessed from user space. All data is represented as ASCII strings. When the file system is mounted the accounting information is retrieved and a file system tree is created with the attribute files containing the cpu information. The content of the files remains unchanged until a new update is made. An update can be triggered from user space through writing 'something' into a special purpose update file. We create the following directory structure: <mount-point>/ update cpus/ <cpu-id> type mgmtime <cpu-id> ... hyp/ type systems/ <lpar-name> cpus/ <cpu-id> type mgmtime cputime onlinetime <cpu-id> ... <lpar-name> cpus/ ... - update: File to trigger update - cpus/: Directory for all physical cpus - cpus/<cpu-id>/: Directory for one physical cpu. - cpus/<cpu-id>/type: Type name of physical zSeries cpu. - cpus/<cpu-id>/mgmtime: Physical-LPAR-management time in microseconds. - hyp/: Directory for hypervisor information - hyp/type: Typ of hypervisor (currently only 'LPAR Hypervisor') - systems/: Directory for all LPARs - systems/<lpar-name>/: Directory for one LPAR. - systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/: Directory for the virtual cpus - systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/type: Typ of cpu. - systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/mgmtime: Accumulated number of microseconds during which a physical CPU was assigned to the logical cpu and the cpu time was consumed by the hypervisor and was not provided to the LPAR (LPAR overhead). - systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/cputime: Accumulated number of microseconds during which a physical CPU was assigned to the logical cpu and the cpu time was consumed by the LPAR. - systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/onlinetime: Accumulated number of microseconds during which the logical CPU has been online. As mount point for the filesystem /sys/hypervisor/s390 is created. The update process is triggered when writing 'something' into the 'update' file at the top level hypfs directory. You can do this e.g. with 'echo 1 > update'. During the update the whole directory structure is deleted and built up again.

* [PATCH] swsusp: use less memory during resumeRafael J. Wysocki2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make swsusp allocate only as much memory as needed to store the image data and metadata during resume. Without this patch swsusp additionally allocates many page frames that will conflict with the "original" locations of the image data and are considered as "unsafe", treating them as "eaten" pages (ie. allocated but unusable). The patch makes swsusp allocate as many pages as it'll need to store the data read from the image in one shot, creating a list of allocated "safe" pages, and use the observation that all pages allocated by it are marked with the PG_nosave and PG_nosave_free flags set.  Namely, when it's about to load an image page, swsusp can check whether the page frame corresponding to the "original" location of this page has been allocated (ie. if the page frame has the PG_nosave and PG_nosave_free flags set) and if so, it can load the page directly into this page frame.  Otherwise it uses an allocated "safe" page from the list to store the data that will be copied to their "original" location later on. This allows us to save many page copyings and page allocations during resume and in the future it may allow us to load images greater than 50% of the normal zone. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] x86: kernel irq balance doesn't workZhang Yanmin2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On i386, kernel irq balance doesn't work. 1) In function do_irq_balance, after kernel finds the min_loaded cpu but before calling set_pending_irq to really pin the selected_irq to the target cpu, kernel does a cpus_and with irq_affinity[selected_irq]. Later on, when the irq is acked, kernel would calls move_native_irq=>desc->handler->set_affinity to change the irq affinity. However, every function pointed by hw_interrupt_type->set_affinity(unsigned int irq, cpumask_t cpumask) always changes irq_affinity[irq] to cpumask. Next time when recalling do_irq_balance, it has to do cpu_ands again with irq_affinity[selected_irq], but irq_affinity[selected_irq] already becomes one cpu selected by the first irq balance. 2) Function balance_irq in file arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c has the same issue.

* [PATCH] fix x86 microcode driver handling of multiple matching revisionsJan Beulich2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When multiple updates matching a given CPU are found in the update file, the action taken by the microcode update driver was inappropriate: - when lower revision microcode was found before matching or higher revision one, the driver would needlessly complain that it would not downgrade the CPU - when microcode matching the currently installed revision was found before newer revision code, no update would actually take place To change this behavior, the driver now concludes about possibly updates and issues messages only when the entire input was parsed. Additionally, this adds back (in different places, and conditionalized upon a new module option) some messages removed by a previous patch.
