* [IA64] Add __read_mostly support for IA64Christoph Lameter2005-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | sparc64, i386 and x86_64 have support for a special data section dedicated to rarely updated data that is frequently read. The section was created to avoid false sharing of those rarely read data with frequently written kernel data. This patch creates such a data section for ia64 and will group rarely written data into this section.

* [IA64-SGI] Missed TLB flushJack Steiner2005-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I see why the problem exists only on SN. SN uses a different hardware mechanism to purge TLB entries across nodes. It looks like there is a bug in the SN TLB flushing code. During context switch, kernel threads inherit the mm of the task that was previously running on the cpu. This confuses the code in sn2_global_tlb_purge(). The result is a missed TLB purge for the task that owns the "borrowed" mm. (I hit the problem running heavy stress where kswapd was purging code pages of a user task that woke kswapd. The user task took a SIGILL fault trying to execute code in the page that had been ripped out from underneath it).

* [IA64] disable preemption in udelay()John Hawkes2005-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The udelay() inline for ia64 uses the ITC. If CONFIG_PREEMPT is enabled and the platform has unsynchronized ITCs and the calling task migrates to another CPU while doing the udelay loop, then the effective delay may be too short or very, very long. This patch disables preemption around 100 usec chunks of the overall desired udelay time. This minimizes preemption-holdoffs. udelay() is now too big to be inline, move it out of line and export it.

| * [IA64] Change SET_PERSONALITY to comply with comment in binfmt_elf.c.Robin Holt2005-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have a customer application which trips a bug. The problem arises when a driver attempts to call do_munmap on an area which is mapped, but because current->thread.task_size has been set to 0xC0000000, the call to do_munmap fails thinking it is an unmap beyond the user's address space. The comment in fs/binfmt_elf.c in load_elf_library() before the call to SET_PERSONALITY() indicates that task_size must not be changed for the running application until flush_thread, but is for ia64 executing ia32 binaries. This patch moves the setting of task_size from SET_PERSONALITY() to flush_thread() as indicated. The customer application no longer is able to trip the bug.

| * [IA64] Limit the maximum NODEDATA_ALIGN() offsetJack Steiner2005-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The per-node data structures are allocated with strided offsets that are a function of the node number. This prevents excessive cache-aliasing from occurring. On systems with a large number of nodes, the strided offset becomes too large. This patch restricts the maximum offset to 32MB.

* [PATCH] kprobes: Fix return probes on sys_execveJim Keniston2005-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a bug in kprobes that can cause an Oops or even a crash when a return probe is installed on one of the following functions: sys_execve, do_execve, load_*_binary, flush_old_exec, or flush_thread. The fix is to remove the call to kprobe_flush_task() in flush_thread(). This fix has been tested on all architectures for which the return-probes feature has been implemented (i386, x86_64, ppc64, ia64). Please apply. BACKGROUND Up to now, we have called kprobe_flush_task() under two situations: when a task exits, and when it execs. Flushing kretprobe_instances on exit is correct because (a) do_exit() doesn't return, and (b) one or more return-probed functions may be active when a task calls do_exit(). Neither is the case for sys_execve() and its callees. Initially, the mistaken call to kprobe_flush_task() on exec was harmless because we put the "real" return address of each active probed function back in the stack, just to be safe, when we recycled its kretprobe_instance. When support for ppc64 and ia64 was added, this safety measure couldn't be employed, and was eventually dropped even for i386 and x86_64. sys_execve() and its callees were informally blacklisted for return probes until this fix was developed.

* [IA64] 4 level page table bug fix in vhpt_missChen, Kenneth W2005-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From source code inspection, I think there is a bug with 4 level page table with vhpt_miss handler. In the code path of rechecking page table entry against previously read value after tlb insertion, *pte value in register r18 was overwritten with value newly read from pud pointer, render the check of new *pte against previous *pte completely wrong. Though the bug is none fatal and the penalty is to purge the entry and retry. For functional correctness, it should be fixed. The fix is to use a different register so new *pud don't trash *pte.

* [PATCH] ia64: cpu_idle performance bug fixChen, Kenneth W2005-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our performance validation on 2.6.15-rc1 caught a disastrous performance regression on ia64 with netperf (-98%) and volanomark (-58%) compares to previous kernel version 2.6.14-git7. See the following chart (result group 1 & 2). http://kernel-perf.sourceforge.net/results.machine_id=26.html We have root caused it to commit 64c7c8f88559624abdbe12b5da6502e8879f8d28 This changeset broke the ia64 task resched notification. In sched.c:resched_task(), a reschedule IPI is conditioned upon TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG. However, the above changeset unconditionally set the polling thread flag for idle tasks regardless whether pal_halt_light is in use or not. As a result, resched IPI is not sent from resched_task(). And since the default behavior on ia64 is to use pal_halt_light, we end up delaying the rescheduling task until next timer tick, and thus cause the performance regression. This fixes the performance bug. I'm glad our performance suite is turning up bad performance bug like this in time.

This is because the signal-trampoline will attempt to store fp-regs with stf.spill instructions, which will trap for misaligned addresses. This isn't terribly useful behavior. It's better to just always align the signal frame to the next lower 16-byte boundary. Signed-off-by: David Mosberger-Tang <David.Mosberger@acm.org> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Improves efficiency of resched_task and some cpu_idle routines. * In resched_task: - TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held, and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe. - If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off. - If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required. - If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI. Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of POLLING_NRFLAG. * In idle routines: - Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer (IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet. - Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching to the idle thread. - Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into a halt requiring interrupt wakeup. Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling the idle task. POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.
