* seq_file: use proc_create() in documentationAlexey Dobriyan2009-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | Using create_proc_entry() + ->proc_fops assignment is racy because ->proc_fops will be NULL for some time, use proc_create() to avoid race.

* proc: remove docbook and exampleAlexey Dobriyan2009-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Example is outdated, it still uses old ->read_proc interfaces and "fb" example is plain racy. There are better examples all over the tree. Docbook itself says almost nothing about /proc and contain quite a number of simply wrong facts, e.g. device nodes support. What it does is describing at great length interface which are going to be removed. There are Documentation/filesystems/seq_file.txt in exchange.

| * dm snapshot: add merge targetMikulas Patocka2009-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The snapshot-merge target allows a snapshot to be merged back into the snapshot's origin device. One anticipated use of snapshot merging is the rollback of filesystems to back out problematic system upgrades. This patch adds snapshot-merge target management to both dm_snapshot_init() and dm_snapshot_exit(). As an initial place-holder, snapshot-merge is identical to the snapshot target.

* | procfs: allow threads to rename siblings via /proc/pid/tasks/tid/commjohn stultz2009-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Setting a thread's comm to be something unique is a very useful ability and is helpful for debugging complicated threaded applications. However currently the only way to set a thread name is for the thread to name itself via the PR_SET_NAME prctl. However, there may be situations where it would be advantageous for a thread dispatcher to be naming the threads its managing, rather then having the threads self-describe themselves. This sort of behavior is available on other systems via the pthread_setname_np() interface. This patch exports a task's comm via proc/pid/comm and proc/pid/task/tid/comm interfaces, and allows thread siblings to write to these values.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The NOMMU code currently clears all anonymous mmapped memory. While this is what we want in the default case, all memory allocation from userspace under NOMMU has to go through this interface, including malloc() which is allowed to return uninitialized memory. This can easily be a significant performance penalty. So for constrained embedded systems were security is irrelevant, allow people to avoid clearing memory unnecessarily. This also alters the ELF-FDPIC binfmt such that it obtains uninitialised memory for the brk and stack region.

'location' identifies where the bitmap is, either 'none', or 'file' or 'sector offset from metadata'. Writing 'location' can create or remove a bitmap. Adding a 'file' bitmap this way is not yet supported. 'chunksize' and 'time_base' must be set before 'location' can be set. 'chunksize' can be set before creating a bitmap, but is currently always over-ridden by the bitmap superblock. 'time_base' and 'backlog' can be updated at any time.

There are no changes to any of the C code from v2 of the patch. In order to support kernel DLPAR of CPU resources we need to provide an interface to add (probe) and remove (release) the resource from the system. This patch Creates new generic probe and release sysfs files to facilitate cpu probe/release. The probe/release interface provides for allowing each arch to supply their own routines for implementing the backend of adding and removing cpus to/from the system. This also creates the powerpc specific stubs to handle the arch callouts from writes to the sysfs files. The creation and use of these files is regulated by the CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE option so that only architectures that need the capability will have the files created.

This path is used for DLPAR which will cause a change in the LPAR configuration which will be visible outside. This patch changes the default state a CPU is put into when it is offlined. On platforms which support ceding the processor to the hypervisor with latency hint specifier value, during a cpu offline operation, instead of calling rtas_stop_self(), we cede the vCPU to the hypervisor while passing a latency hint specifier value. The Hypervisor can use this hint to provide better energy savings. Also, during the offline operation, the control of the vCPU remains with the LPAR as oppposed to returning it to the resource pool. The patch achieves this by creating an infrastructure to set the preferred_offline_state() which can be either - CPU_STATE_OFFLINE: which is the current behaviour of calling rtas_stop_self() - CPU_STATE_INACTIVE: which cedes the vCPU to the hypervisor with the latency hint specifier. The codepath which wants to perform a DLPAR operation can set the preferred_offline_state() of a CPU to CPU_STATE_OFFLINE before invoking cpu_down(). The patch also provides a boot-time command line argument to disable/enable CPU_STATE_INACTIVE.

This allows a statistic to be cleared on each cpu by writing '0' to its sysfs file. This creates a baseline for statistics of interest before the workload is started. Setting a statistic to a particular value is not supported, so all values written to these files other than '0' returns -EINVAL.
