| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a proc file cio_settle. A write request to this file is blocked until all queued cio actions are handled. This will allow userspace to wait for pending work affecting device availability after changing cio_ignore or the hardware configuration.

| * x86/PCI: use host bridge _CRS info by default on 2008 and newer machinesBjorn Helgaas2010-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main benefit of using ACPI host bridge window information is that we can do better resource allocation in systems with multiple host bridges, e.g., http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14183 Sometimes we need _CRS information even if we only have one host bridge, e.g., https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/341681 Most of these systems are relatively new, so this patch turns on "pci=use_crs" only on machines with a BIOS date of 2008 or newer.

| * PCI PM: Make it possible to force using INTx for PCIe PME signalingRafael J. Wysocki2010-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Apparently, some machines may have problems with PCI run-time power management if MSIs are used for the native PCIe PME signaling. In particular, on the MSI Wind U-100 PCIe PME interrupts are not generated by a PCIe root port after a resume from suspend to RAM, if the system wake-up was triggered by a PME from the device attached to this port. [It doesn't help to free the interrupt on suspend and request it back on resume, even if that is done along with disabling the MSI and re-enabling it, respectively.] However, if INTx interrupts are used for this purpose on the same machine, everything works just fine. For this reason, add a kernel command line switch allowing one to request that MSIs be not used for the native PCIe PME signaling, introduce a DMI table allowing us to blacklist machines that need this switch to be set by default and put the MSI Wind U-100 into this table.

| * PCI PM: PCIe PME root port service driverRafael J. Wysocki2010-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PCIe native PME detection mechanism is based on interrupts generated by root ports or event collectors every time a PCIe device sends a PME message upstream. Once a PME message has been sent by an endpoint device and received by its root port (or event collector in the case of root complex integrated endpoints), the Requester ID from the message header is registered in the root port's Root Status register. At the same time, the PME Status bit of the Root Status register is set to indicate that there's a PME to handle. If PCIe PME interrupt is enabled for the root port, it generates an interrupt once the PME Status has been set. After receiving the interrupt, the kernel can identify the PCIe device that generated the PME using the Requester ID from the root port's Root Status register. [For details, see PCI Express Base Specification, Rev. 2.0.] Implement a driver for the PCIe PME root port service working in accordance with the above description.

The main motivation for the rewrite was to remove the dependency on the external C program binoffset.c, which is compiled on the initial run. The binoffset executable is invoked with a relative path, which means that the old script can only be run from the top of the kernel tree, and only when you have write permission in the scripts directory. The new script uses tr/grep/tail/zcat only, and can be invoked from anywhere. The binoffset.c program has been removed. This script requires GNU grep 2.5 (released 2002-03-13) or higher, because the -o option was introduced in that version.

* | | ARM: allow alignment fault mode to be configured at kernel bootRussell King2010-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some glibc versions intentionally create lots of alignment faults in their gconv code, which if not fixed up, results in segfaults during boot. This can prevent systems booting properly. There is no clear hard-configurable default for this; the desired default depends on the nature of the userspace which is going to be booted. So, provide a way for the alignment fault handler to be configured via the kernel command line. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

But it cause large performance regression. Unfortunately /proc/{pid}/status is used ps command too and ps is one of most important component. Because both to take mmap_sem and page table walk are heavily operation. If many process run, the ps performance is, [before d899bf7b] % perf stat ps >/dev/null Performance counter stats for 'ps': 4090.435806 task-clock-msecs # 0.032 CPUs 229 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 234 page-faults # 0.000 M/sec 8587565207 cycles # 2099.425 M/sec 9866662403 instructions # 1.149 IPC 3789415411 cache-references # 926.409 M/sec 30419509 cache-misses # 7.437 M/sec 128.859521955 seconds time elapsed [after d899bf7b] % perf stat ps > /dev/null Performance counter stats for 'ps': 4305.081146 task-clock-msecs # 0.028 CPUs 480 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 2 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 237 page-faults # 0.000 M/sec 9021211334 cycles # 2095.480 M/sec 10605887536 instructions # 1.176 IPC 3612650999 cache-references # 839.160 M/sec 23917502 cache-misses # 5.556 M/sec 152.277819582 seconds time elapsed Thus, this patch revert it. Fortunately /proc/{pid}/task/{tid}/smaps provide almost same information. we can use it. Commit d899bf7b introduced two features: 1) Add the annotattion of [thread stack: xxxx] mark to /proc/{pid}/task/{tid}/maps. 2) Add StackUsage field to /proc/{pid}/status. I only revert (2), because I haven't seen (1) cause regression.
