* EFI: warn only for pre-1.00 system tablesBjorn Helgaas2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | We used to warn unless the EFI system table major revision was exactly 1. But EFI 2.00 firmware is starting to appear, and the 2.00 changes don't affect anything in Linux.

* Kprobes: print details of kretprobe on assertion failureAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In certain cases like when the real return address can't be found or when the number of tracked calls to a kretprobed function is less than the number of returns, we may not be able to find the correct return address after processing a kretprobe. Currently we just do a BUG_ON, but no information is provided about the actual failing kretprobe. Print out details of the kretprobe before calling BUG().

* kdump/kexec: calculate note size at compile timeSimon Horman2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the size of the per-cpu region reserved to save crash notes is set by the per-architecture value MAX_NOTE_BYTES. Which in turn is currently set to 1024 on all supported architectures. While testing ia64 I recently discovered that this value is in fact too small. The particular setup I was using actually needs 1172 bytes. This lead to very tedious failure mode where the tail of one elf note would overwrite the head of another if they ended up being alocated sequentially by kmalloc, which was often the case. It seems to me that a far better approach is to caclculate the size that the area needs to be. This patch does just that. If a simpler stop-gap patch for ia64 to be squeezed into 2.6.21(.X) is needed then this should be as easy as making MAX_NOTE_BYTES larger in arch/asm-ia64/kexec.h. Perhaps 2048 would be a good choice. However, I think that the approach in this patch is a much more robust idea.

* move die notifier handling to common codeChristoph Hellwig2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place) arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Example memory map (from HP sx1000 with VGA enabled): 0x00000 - 0x9FFFF supports only WB (cacheable) access 0xA0000 - 0xBFFFF supports only UC (uncacheable) access 0xC0000 - 0xFFFFF supports only WB (cacheable) access Some versions of X map the entire 0x00000-0xFFFFF area at once. With the example above, this mmap must fail because there's no memory attribute that's safe for the entire area. Prior to this patch, we performed the mmap with a UC mapping. When X accessed the WB memory at 0xC0000, it caused an MCA. The crash can happen when mapping 0xC0000 from either /dev/mem or a /sys/.../legacy_mem file.

This will free up one TLB entry for application, or even kernel if access pattern to per-cpu data area has high temporal locality. Since per-cpu is mapped at the top of region 7 address, we just need to add special case in alt_dtlb_miss. The physical address of per-cpu data is already conveniently stored in IA64_KR(PER_CPU_DATA). Latency for alt_dtlb_miss is not affected as we can hide all the latency. It was measured that alt_dtlb_miss handler has 23 cycles latency before and after the patch. The performance effect is massive for applications that put lots of tlb pressure on CPU. Workload environment like database online transaction processing or application uses tera-byte of memory would benefit the most. Measurement with industry standard database benchmark shown an upward of 1.6% gain. While smaller workloads like cpu, java also showing small improvement.

| | * | [IA64] remove per-cpu ia64_phys_stacked_size_p8Chen, Kenneth W2007-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's not efficient to use a per-cpu variable just to store how many physical stack register a cpu has. Ever since the incarnation of ia64 up till upcoming Montecito processor, that variable has "glued" to 96. Having a variable in memory means that the kernel is burning an extra cacheline access on every syscall and kernel exit path. Such "static" value is better served with the instruction patching utility exists today. Convert ia64_phys_stacked_size_p8 into dynamic insn patching. This also has a pleasant side effect of eliminating access to per-cpu area while psr.ic=0 in the kernel exit path. (fixable for per-cpu DTC work, but why bother?) There are some concerns with the default value that the instruc- tion encoded in the kernel image. It shouldn't be concerned. The reasons are: (1) cpu_init() is called at CPU initialization. In there, we find out physical stack register size from PAL and patch two instructions in kernel exit code. The code in question can not be executed before the patching is done. (2) current implementation stores zero in ia64_phys_stacked_size_p8, and that's what the current kernel exit path loads the value with. With the new code, it is equivalent that we store reg size 96 in ia64_phys_stacked_size_p8, thus creating a better safety net. Given (1) above can never fail, having (2) is just a bonus. All in all, this patch allow one less memory reference in the kernel exit path, thus reducing syscall and interrupt return latency; and avoid polluting potential useful data in the CPU cache.

The memory area for this header is also marked as a separate EFI memory descriptor on ia64. The separate EFI memory descriptor is at the moment of the type EFI_UNUSABLE_MEMORY. With such a type the secondary kernel skips over the entire memory granule (config option, 16M or 64M) when detecting memory. If we are lucky we will just lose some memory, but if we happen to have data in the same granule (such as an initramfs image), then this data will never get mapped and the kernel bombs out when trying to access it. So this is an attempt to fix this by changing the EFI memory descriptor type into EFI_LOADER_DATA. This type is the same type used for the kernel data and for initramfs. In the secondary kernel we then handle the ELF core header data the same way as we handle the initramfs image. This patch contains the kernel changes to make this happen. Pretty straightforward, we reserve the area in reserve_memory(). The address for the area comes from the kernel command line and the size comes from the specialized EFI parsing function vmcore_find_descriptor_size().

* | | | [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman2007-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* | | | [PATCH] sysctl: C99 convert arch/ia64/kernel/perfmon and remove ABI breakageEric W. Biederman2007-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This convters the sysctl ctl_tables to use C99 initializers. While I was looking at it I discovered it was using a portion of the sysctl binary addresses space under CTL_KERN KERN_OSTYPE which was completely inappropriate. So I completely removed all of the sysctl binary names, to remove and avoid the ABI conflict. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".
