| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There really is no sense trying to continue if the kzalloc of sysfs_cpus[] fails in ia64 topology_init. The code calling into here doesn't check errors very well, and one ends up with a nonobvious boot failure that wastes peoples time debugging. See for example the lkml thread at: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/3/2/215 Since the system is totally dead when this kzalloc fails, not having yet even booted, might as well announce one's death boldly and plainly.

| * [IA64-SGI] Silent data corruption caused by XPC V2.Dean Nelson2006-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jack Steiner identified a problem where XPC can cause a silent data corruption. On module load, the placement may cause the xpc_remote_copy_buffer to span two physical pages. DMA transfers are done to the start virtual address translated to physical. This patch changes the buffer from a statically allocated buffer to a kmalloc'd buffer. Dean Nelson reviewed this before posting. I have tested it in the configuration that was showing the memory corruption and verified it works. I also added a BUG_ON statement to help catch this if a similar situation is encountered.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | contig.c (FLATMEM) requires the same optimization as in discontig.c for show_mem when VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP is in use. Otherwise FLATMEM has softlockup timeouts. This was boot tested for memory configuration: SPARSEMEM, DISCONTIG+VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP, FLATMEM, FLATMEM+VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP and FLATMEM+VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP with largest memory gap less than LARGE_GAP by using boot parameter "mem=". This was boot tested and "echo m >/proc/sysrq-trigger" output evaluated for : FLATMEM, FLATMEM+VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP, DISCONTIGMEM+VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP and SPARSEMEM.

Not doing so violates the buddy allocator algorithm. Also anyone using mem=XXX on boot line and not aligned to MAX_ORDER requires this patch in order to satisfy buddy allocator. vmem_map always starts at pfn 0. The potentially large MAX_ORDER on ia64 (due to hugetlbfs) requires that the end of vmem_map be aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES.

According to the software runtime SPEC, The caller's output registers do not need to be preserved for caller. The callee may reuse input registers for any other purpose within the procedure. in ia64_pal_call_phys_stacked, input registers are copied to output registers before call into ia64_switch_mode_phys, then used to call into PAL. This assumes output registers are preserved in ia64_switch_mode_phys, which may not be true. In this particular case, ia64_switch_mode_phys alloc a null frame , and mask off psr.i. If an interrupt comes at this small window, or an MCA comes inside the procedure, output registers maybe changed, then the pal call may got some staled input registers. This patch moves the copies from input to output after ia64_switch_mode_phys to follow the software runtime convention. It also removed some unused labels in ia64_pal_call_phys_stacked.

* | [PATCH] vDSO hash-style fixRoland McGrath2006-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and dynamically-linked executables. The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces ".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the dynamic linker. The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both. In some new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash". The new ".gnu.hash" sections need to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the dynamic linker cares about their contents. To work with older dynamic linkers (i.e. preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old ".hash" section. The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can still handle. The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO images for the kernel. On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed. This patch addresses the problem in two ways. First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash". This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools), with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both. Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced. This is the most conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland. There is some concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries. The optimizations provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has. If someone wants to use =gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will make any choice work fine.

* | [PATCH] panic_on_oops: remove ssleep()Horms2006-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is part of an effort to unify the panic_on_oops behaviour across all architectures that implement it. It was pointed out to me by Andi Kleen that if an oops has occured in interrupt context, then calling sleep() in the oops path will only cause a panic, and that it would be really better for it not to be in the path at all. This patch removes the ssleep() call and reworks the console message accordinly. I have a slght concern that the resulting console message is too long, feedback welcome. For powerpc it also unifies the 32bit and 64bit behaviour. Fror x86_64, this patch only updates the console message, as ssleep() is already not present.

* [PATCH] make valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() take a pfnLennert Buytenhek2006-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Newer ARMs have a 40 bit physical address space, but mapping physical memory above 4G needs a special page table format which we (currently?) do not use for userspace mappings, so what happens instead is that mapping an address >= 4G will happily discard the upper bits and wrap. There is a valid_mmap_phys_addr_range() arch hook where we could check for >= 4G addresses and deny the mapping, but this hook takes an unsigned long address: static inline int valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(unsigned long addr, size_t size); And drivers/char/mem.c:mmap_mem() calls it like this: static int mmap_mem(struct file * file, struct vm_area_struct * vma) { size_t size = vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start; if (!valid_mmap_phys_addr_range(vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT, size)) So that's not much help either. This patch makes the hook take a pfn instead of a phys address.

* [PATCH] Fix copying of pgdat array on each node for ia64 memory hotplugYasunori Goto2006-07-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found a bug in memory hot-add code for ia64. IA64's code has copies of pgdat's array on each node to reduce memory access over crossing node. This array is used by NODE_DATA() macro. When new node is hot-added, this pgdat's array should be updated and copied on new node too. However, I used for_each_online_node() in scatter_node_data() to copy it. This meant its array is not copied on new node. Because initialization of structures for new node was halfway, so online_node_map couldn't be set at this time. To copy arrays on new node, I changed it to check value of pgdat_list[] which is source array of copies. I tested this patch with my Memory Hotadd emulation on Tiger4. This patch is for 2.6.17-git20.

* / [PATCH] zoned vm counters: basic ZVC (zoned vm counter) implementationChristoph Lameter2006-06-30
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Per zone counter infrastructure The counters that we currently have for the VM are split per processor. The processor however has not much to do with the zone these pages belong to. We cannot tell f.e. how many ZONE_DMA pages are dirty. So we are blind to potentially inbalances in the usage of memory in various zones. F.e. in a NUMA system we cannot tell how many pages are dirty on a particular node. If we knew then we could put measures into the VM to balance the use of memory between different zones and different nodes in a NUMA system. For example it would be possible to limit the dirty pages per node so that fast local memory is kept available even if a process is dirtying huge amounts of pages. Another example is zone reclaim. We do not know how many unmapped pages exist per zone. So we just have to try to reclaim. If it is not working then we pause and try again later. It would be better if we knew when it makes sense to reclaim unmapped pages from a zone. This patchset allows the determination of the number of unmapped pages per zone. We can remove the zone reclaim interval with the counters introduced here. Futhermore the ability to have various usage statistics available will allow the development of new NUMA balancing algorithms that may be able to improve the decision making in the scheduler of when to move a process to another node and hopefully will also enable automatic page migration through a user space program that can analyse the memory load distribution and then rebalance memory use in order to increase performance. The counter framework here implements differential counters for each processor in struct zone. The differential counters are consolidated when a threshold is exceeded (like done in the current implementation for nr_pageache), when slab reaping occurs or when a consolidation function is called. Consolidation uses atomic operations and accumulates counters per zone in the zone structure and also globally in the vm_stat array. VM functions can access the counts by simply indexing a global or zone specific array. The arrangement of counters in an array also simplifies processing when output has to be generated for /proc/*. Counters can be updated by calling inc/dec_zone_page_state or _inc/dec_zone_page_state analogous to *_page_state. The second group of functions can be called if it is known that interrupts are disabled. Special optimized increment and decrement functions are provided. These can avoid certain checks and use increment or decrement instructions that an architecture may provide. We also add a new CONFIG_DMA_IS_NORMAL that signifies that an architecture can do DMA to all memory and therefore ZONE_NORMAL will not be populated. This is only currently set for IA64 SGI SN2 and currently only affects node_page_state(). In the best case node_page_state can be reduced to retrieving a single counter for the one zone on the node.

* | [PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chipIngo Molnar2006-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing functionality. While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is the new 'irq chip' abstraction. The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow" (level/edge/etc.) type of details. This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details. The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design. As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers (master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well. The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code and more consolidation between architectures. We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset. This patch: rename desc->handler to desc->chip. Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch. But having both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it truly is. I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke frequently. So lets get over with this quickly. The conversion was done automatically via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel. This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.
