* [SPARC64]: Make cpu_present_map available earlier.David S. Miller2006-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | The change to kernel/sched.c's init code to use for_each_cpu() requires that the cpu_possible_map be setup much earlier. Set it up via setup_arch(), constrained to NR_CPUS, and later constrain it to max_cpus in smp_prepare_cpus(). This fixes SMP booting on sparc64. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* [PATCH] x86_64: Move the SMP time selection earlierAndi Kleen2006-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SMP time selection originally ran after all CPUs were brought up because it needed to know the number of CPUs to decide if it needs an MP safe timer or not. This is not needed anymore because we know present CPUs early. This fixes a couple of problems: - apicmaintimer didn't always work because it relied on state that was set up time_init_gtod too late. - The output for the used timer in early kernel log was misleading because time_init_gtod could actually change it later. Now always print the final timer choice Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] x86_64: no_iommu removal in pci-gart.cJon Mason2006-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In previous versions of pci-gart.c, no_iommu was used to determine if IOMMU was disabled in the GART DMA mapping functions. This changed in 2.6.16 and now gart_xxx() functions are only called if gart is enabled. Therefore, uses of no_iommu in the GART code are no longer necessary and can be removed. Also, it removes double deceleration of no_iommu and force_iommu in pci.h and proto.h, by removing the deceleration in pci.h. Lastly, end_pfn off by one error. Tested (along with patch 1/2) on dual opteron with gart enabled, iommu=soft, and iommu=off.

* | [PATCH] flags parameter for linkatUlrich Drepper2006-02-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I'm currently at the POSIX meeting and one thing covered was the incompatibility of Linux's link() with the POSIX definition. The name. Linux does not follow symlinks, POSIX requires it does. Even if somebody thinks this is a good default behavior we cannot change this because it would break the ABI. But the fact remains that some application might want this behavior. We have one chance to help implementing this without breaking the behavior. For this we could use the new linkat interface which would need a new flags parameter. If the new parameter is AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW the new behavior could be invoked. I do not want to introduce such a patch now. But we could add the parameter now, just don't use it. The patch below would do this. Can we get this late patch applied before the release more or less fixes the syscall API?

* | [PATCH] x86: fix broken SMP boot sequenceJames Bottomley2006-02-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent GDT changes broke the SMP boot sequence if the booting CPU is numbered anything other than zero. There's also a subtle source of error in that the boot time CPU now uses cpu_gdt_table (which is actually the GDT for booting CPUs in head.S). This patch fixes both problems by making GDT descriptors themselves allocated from a per_cpu area and switching to them in cpu_init(), which now means that cpu_gdt_table is exclusively used for booting CPUs again.

Some older versions of HAL still depend on these events to detect when a new device has been mounted. These events are not correctly emitted, and are broken by design, and so, should not be relied upon by any future program. Instead, the /proc/mounts file should be polled to properly detect this kind of event. A feature-removal-schedule.txt entry has been added, noting when this interface will be removed from the kernel.

* | [PATCH] Terminate process that fails on a constrained allocationChristoph Lameter2006-02-20
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some allocations are restricted to a limited set of nodes (due to memory policies or cpuset constraints). If the page allocator is not able to find enough memory then that does not mean that overall system memory is low. In particular going postal and more or less randomly shooting at processes is not likely going to help the situation but may just lead to suicide (the whole system coming down). It is better to signal to the process that no memory exists given the constraints that the process (or the configuration of the process) has placed on the allocation behavior. The process may be killed but then the sysadmin or developer can investigate the situation. The solution is similar to what we do when running out of hugepages. This patch adds a check before we kill processes. At that point performance considerations do not matter much so we just scan the zonelist and reconstruct a list of nodes. If the list of nodes does not contain all online nodes then this is a constrained allocation and we should kill the current process.

* [PATCH] Provide an interface for getting the current tick lengthPaul Mackerras2006-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides an interface for arch code to find out how many nanoseconds are going to be added on to xtime by the next call to do_timer. The value returned is a fixed-point number in 52.12 format in nanoseconds. The reason for this format is that it gives the full precision that the timekeeping code is using internally. The motivation for this is to fix a problem that has arisen on 32-bit powerpc in that the value returned by do_gettimeofday drifts apart from xtime if NTP is being used. PowerPC is now using a lockless do_gettimeofday based on reading the timebase register and performing some simple arithmetic. (This method of getting the time is also exported to userspace via the VDSO.) However, the factor and offset it uses were calculated based on the nominal tick length and weren't being adjusted when NTP varied the tick length. Note that 64-bit powerpc has had the lockless do_gettimeofday for a long time now. It also had an extremely hairy routine that got called from the 32-bit compat routine for adjtimex, which adjusted the factor and offset according to what it thought the timekeeping code was going to do. Not only was this only called if a 32-bit task did adjtimex (i.e. not if a 64-bit task did adjtimex), it was also duplicating computations from kernel/timer.c and it wasn't clear that it was (still) correct. The simple solution is to ask the timekeeping code how long the current jiffy will be on each timer interrupt, after calling do_timer. If this jiffy will be a different length from the last one, we then need to compute new values for the factor and offset used in the lockless do_gettimeofday. In this way we can keep xtime and do_gettimeofday in sync, even when NTP is varying the tick length. Note that when adjtimex varies the tick length, it almost always introduces the variation from the next tick on. The only case I could see where adjtimex would vary the length of the current tick is when an old-style adjtime adjustment is being cancelled. (It's not clear to me why the adjustment has to be cancelled immediately rather than from the next tick on.) Thus I don't see any real need for a hook in adjtimex; the rare case of an old-style adjustment being cancelled can be fixed up at the next tick.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Have a facility to account for potentially hot-pluggable CPUs. ACPI doesnt give a determinstic method to find hot-pluggable CPUs. Hence we use 2 methods to assist. - BIOS can mark potentially hot-pluggable CPUs as disabled in the MADT tables. - User can specify the number of hot-pluggable CPUs via parameter additional_cpus=X The option is enabled only if ACPI_CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y which enables the physical hotplug option. Without which user can still use logical onlining and offlining of CPUs by enabling CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y Adds more bits to cpu_possible_map for potentially hot-pluggable cpus.

| * | [IA64] ia64: simplify and fix udelay()hawkes@sgi.com2006-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original ia64 udelay() was simple, but flawed for platforms without synchronized ITCs: a preemption and migration to another CPU during the while-loop likely resulted in too-early termination or very, very lengthy looping. The first fix (now in 2.6.15) broke the delay loop into smaller, non-preemptible chunks, reenabling preemption between the chunks. This fix is flawed in that the total udelay is computed to be the sum of just the non-premptible while-loop pieces, i.e., not counting the time spent in the interim preemptible periods. If an interrupt or a migration occurs during one of these interim periods, then that time is invisible and only serves to lengthen the effective udelay(). This new fix backs out the current flawed fix and returns to a simple udelay(), fully preemptible and interruptible. It implements two simple alternative udelay() routines: one a default generic version that uses ia64_get_itc(), and the other an sn-specific version that uses that platform's RTC.

| * | [IA64-SGI] enforce proper ordering of callouts by XPCDean Nelson2006-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix XPC so that it does not deliver any messages until the connected callout has returned, as well as, prevent the disconnected callout to occur before the disconnecting callout has returned.
