* [PATCH] i386: cleanup serialize msrZachary Amsden2005-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | i386 arch cleanup. Introduce the serialize macro to serialize processor state. Why the microcode update needs it I am not quite sure, since wrmsr() is already a serializing instruction, but it is a microcode update, so I will keep the semantic the same, since this could be a timing workaround. As far as I can tell, this has always been there since the original microcode update source.

* [PATCH] x86_64: avoid some atomic operations during address space destructionZachary Amsden2005-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Any architecture that has hardware updated A/D bits that require synchronization against other processors during PTE operations can benefit from doing non-atomic PTE updates during address space destruction. Originally done on i386, now ported to x86_64. Doing a read/write pair instead of an xchg() operation saves the implicit lock, which turns out to be a big win on 32-bit (esp w PAE).

* [PATCH] remove hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable() and fix huge_pte_alloc()Chen, Kenneth W2005-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I don't think we need to call hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable() anymore in 2.6.13 because of the rework with free_pgtables(). It now collect all the pte page at the time of munmap. It used to only collect page table pages when entire one pgd can be freed and left with staled pte pages. Not anymore with 2.6.13. This function will never be called and We should turn it into a BUG_ON. I also spotted two problems here, not Adam's fault :-) (1) in huge_pte_alloc(), it looks like a bug to me that pud is not checked before calling pmd_alloc() (2) in hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable(), it also missed a call to pmd_free_tlb. I think a tlb flush is required to flush the mapping for the page table itself when we clear out the pmd pointing to a pte page. However, since hugetlb_clean_stale_pgtable() is never called, so it won't trigger the bug.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Tell VM about holes in nodesAndi Kleen2005-08-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some nodes can have large holes on x86-64. This fixes problems with the VM allowing too many dirty pages because it overestimates the number of available RAM in a node. In extreme cases you can end up with all RAM filled with dirty pages which can lead to deadlocks and other nasty behaviour. This patch just tells the VM about the known holes from e820. Reserved (like the kernel text or mem_map) is still not taken into account, but that should be only a few percent error now. Small detail is that the flat setup uses the NUMA free_area_init_node() now too because it offers more flexibility.

* [PATCH] increase PCIBIOS_MIN_IO on x86Ivan Kokshaysky2005-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a number of x86 laptops that have some non-PCI IO ports in the 0x1000-0x1fff range, and it's quite hard to control the correct order of resource allocation between PCI and other subsystems controlling these ports. Especially with modular kernel. So just increase PCIBIOS_MIN_IO to 0x4000 to prevent any new PCI resource allocations in the problematic range (this limitation must apply _only_ to the root bus resources - see Linus' change in pci_bus_alloc_resource). As PCIBIOS_MIN_IO and PCIBIOS_MIN_CARDBUS_IO are the same now on i386 and x86-64, we can remove the latter.

* [PATCH] Fix sync_tsc hangEric W. Biederman2005-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sync_tsc was using smp_call_function to ask the boot processor to report it's tsc value. smp_call_function performs an IPI_send_allbutself which is a broadcast ipi. There is a window during processor startup during which the target cpu has started and before it has initialized it's interrupt vectors so it can properly process an interrupt. Receveing an interrupt during that window will triple fault the cpu and do other nasty things. Why cli does not protect us from that is beyond me. The simple fix is to match ia64 and provide a smp_call_function_single. Which avoids the broadcast and is more efficient. This certainly fixes the problem of getting stuck on boot which was very easy to trigger on my SMP Hyperthreaded Xeon, and I think it fixes it for the right reasons.

So it's up to you, either you turn it off completely (which isn't very nice IMHO) or I recommend to apply this below patch. This has been tested successfully on x86-64 against current cogito repository (i686 compiles so I didn't bother testing ;). People selling the cpu through cpushare may appreciate this bit for a peace of mind. There's no way to get any timing info anymore with this applied (gettimeofday is forbidden of course). The seccomp environment is completely deterministic so it can't be allowed to get timing info, it has to be deterministic so in the future I can enable a computing mode that does a parallel computing for each task with server side transparent checkpointing and verification that the output is the same from all the 2/3 seller computers for each task, without the buyer even noticing (for now the verification is left to the buyer client side and there's no checkpointing, since that would require more kernel changes to track the dirty bits but it'll be easy to extend once the basic mode is finished). Eliminating a cold-cache read of the cr4 global variable will save one cacheline during the tlb flush while making the code per-cpu-safe at the same time. Thanks to Mikael Pettersson for noticing the tlb flush wasn't per-cpu-safe. The global tlb flush can run from irq (IPI calling do_flush_tlb_all) but it'll be transparent to the switch_to code since the IPI won't make any change to the cr4 contents from the point of view of the interrupted code and since it's now all per-cpu stuff, it will not race. So no need to disable irqs in switch_to slow path. Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@cpushare.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Basically, this new interface gives DMA bursting advice on PCI. There are three forms of the advice: 1) Burst as much as possible, it is not necessary to end bursts on some particular boundary for best performance. 2) Burst on some byte count multiple. A DMA burst to some multiple of number of bytes may be done, but it is important to end the burst on an exact multiple for best performance. The best example of this I am aware of are the PPC64 PCI controllers, where if you end a burst mid-cacheline then chip has to refetch the data and the IOMMU translations which hurts performance a lot. 3) Burst on a single byte count multiple. Bursts shall end exactly on the next multiple boundary for best performance. Sparc64 and Alpha's PCI controllers operate this way. They disconnect any device which tries to burst across a cacheline boundary. Actually, newer sparc64 PCI controllers do not have this behavior. That is why the "pdev" is passed into the interface, so I can add code later to check which PCI controller the system is using and give advice accordingly. Signed-off-by: David S.

* | [PATCH] kexec: x86_64: restore apic virtual wire mode on shutdownEric W. Biederman2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When coming out of apic mode attempt to set the appropriate apic back into virtual wire mode. This improves on previous versions of this patch by by never setting bot the local apic and the ioapic into veritual wire mode. This code looks at data from the mptable to see if an ioapic has an ExtInt input to make this decision. A future improvement is to figure out which apic or ioapic was in virtual wire mode at boot time and to remember it. That is potentially a more accurate method, of selecting which apic to place in virutal wire mode.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: "Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@linux-mips.org> Rename APIC_MODE_EXINT to APIC_MODE_EXTINT - I think it should be named after what the mode is called in documentation. From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@lnxi.com> I have reduced this patch to just the name change in the header. And integrated the changes into the patches that add those lines. Otherwise I ran into some ugly dependencies. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

* | [PATCH] sched: balance on forkNick Piggin2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reimplement the balance on exec balancing to be sched-domains aware. Use this to also do balance on fork balancing. Make x86_64 do balance on fork over the NUMA domain. The problem that the non sched domains aware blancing became apparent on dual core, multi socket opterons. What we want is for the new tasks to be sent to a different socket, but more often than not, we would first load up our sibling core, or fill two cores of a single remote socket before selecting a new one. This gives large improvements to STREAM on such systems.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the very aggressive idle stuff that has recently gone into 2.6 - it is going against the direction we are trying to go. Hopefully we can regain performance through other methods.

* | [PATCH] sched: balance timersNick Piggin2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do CPU load averaging over a number of different intervals. Allow each interval to be chosen by sending a parameter to source_load and target_load. 0 is instantaneous, idx > 0 returns a decaying average with the most recent sample weighted at 2^(idx-1). To a maximum of 3 (could be easily increased). So generally a higher number will result in more conservative balancing.

* | [PATCH] RCU: clean up a few remaining synchronize_kernel() callsPaul E. McKenney2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2.6.12-rc6-mm1 has a few remaining synchronize_kernel()s, some (but not all) in comments. This patch changes these synchronize_kernel() calls (and comments) to synchronize_rcu() or synchronize_sched() as follows: - arch/x86_64/kernel/mce.c mce_read(): change to synchronize_sched() to handle races with machine-check exceptions (synchronize_rcu() would not cut it given RCU implementations intended for hardcore realtime use. - drivers/input/serio/i8042.c i8042_stop(): change to synchronize_sched() to handle races with i8042_interrupt() interrupt handler. Again, synchronize_rcu() would not cut it given RCU implementations intended for hardcore realtime use. - include/*/kdebug.h comments: change to synchronize_sched() to handle races with NMIs. As before, synchronize_rcu() would not cut it... - include/linux/list.h comment: change to synchronize_rcu(), since this comment is for list_del_rcu(). - security/keys/key.c unregister_key_type(): change to synchronize_rcu(), since this is interacting with RCU read side. - security/keys/process_keys.c install_session_keyring(): change to synchronize_rcu(), since this is interacting with RCU read side.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes register saving so that each register is only saved once, and adds missing saving of %cr8 on x86-64. Some reordering so that save/restore is more logical/safer (segment registers should be restored after gdt).
