| * lockdep: Add improved subclass cachingHitoshi Mitake2010-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current lockdep_map only caches one class with subclass == 0, and looks up hash table of classes when subclass != 0. It seems that this has no problem because the case of subclass != 0 is rare. But locks of struct rq are acquired with subclass == 1 when task migration is executed. Task migration is high frequent event, so I modified lockdep to cache subclasses. I measured the score of perf bench sched messaging. This patch has slightly but certain (order of milli seconds or 10 milli seconds) effect when lots of tasks are running. I'll show the result in the tail of this description. NR_LOCKDEP_CACHING_CLASSES specifies how many classes can be cached in the instances of lockdep_map. I discussed with Peter Zijlstra in LinuxCon Japan about this approach and he taught me that caching every subclasses(8) is cleary waste of memory. So number of cached classes should be configurable. === Score comparison of benchmarks === # "min" means best score, and "max" means worst score for i in `seq 1 10`; do ./perf bench -f simple sched messaging; done before: min: 0.565000, max: 0.583000, avg: 0.572500 after: min: 0.559000, max: 0.568000, avg: 0.563300 # with more processes for i in `seq 1 10`; do ./perf bench -f simple sched messaging -g 40; done before: min: 2.274000, max: 2.298000, avg: 2.286300 after: min: 2.242000, max: 2.270000, avg: 2.259700 Signed-off-by: Hitoshi Mitake <mitake@dcl.info.waseda.ac.jp> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <1286269311-28336-2-git-send-email-mitake@dcl.info.waseda.ac.jp> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the roundup macro references it's arguments more than one time. This patch changes it so it will only use its arguments once.

This new function does the opposite. It will round a given number down to the nearest multiple of the second number: rounddown(11, 7) would give 7. I need this in some future SELinux code and can carry the macro myself, but figured I would put it in the core kernel so others might find and use it if need be.

| * | | | conntrack: export lsm context rather than internal secid via netlinkEric Paris2010-10-20

These are dynamic, can change on lsm changes, and have no meaning in userspace. We should instead be sending lsm contexts to userspace instead. This patch sends the secctx (rather than secid) to userspace over the netlink socket. We use a new field CTA_SECCTX and stop using the the old CTA_SECMARK field since it did not send particularly useful information.

The SECMARK code would like to allocate a netlink skb with enough length to hold the string but it is just too unclean to do the string allocation twice or to do the allocation the first time and hold onto the string and slen. This patch adds the ability to call security_secid_to_secctx() with a NULL data pointer and it will just set the slen pointer.

This is mostly a matter of moving files around. However, a few key pieces of the interface change as well: - ceph_client becomes ceph_fs_client and ceph_client, where the latter captures the mon and osd clients, and the fs_client gets the mds client and file system specific pieces. - Mount option parsing and debugfs setup is correspondingly broken into two pieces. - The mon client gets a generic handler callback for otherwise unknown messages (mds map, in this case). - The basic supported/required feature bits can be expanded (and are by ceph_fs_client). No functional change, aside from some subtle error handling cases that got cleaned up in the refactoring process. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>

* | | Un-inline the core-dump helper functionsLinus Torvalds2010-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tony Luck reports that the addition of the access_ok() check in commit 0eead9ab41da ("Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps") broke the ia64 compile due to missing the necessary header file includes. Rather than add yet another include (<asm/unistd.h>) to make everything happy, just uninline the silly core dump helper functions and move the bodies to fs/exec.c where they make a lot more sense. dump_seek() in particular was too big to be an inline function anyway, and none of them are in any way performance-critical. And we really don't need to mess up our include file hea
