* [PATCH] sh: DMA updatesPaul Mundt2006-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This extends the current SH DMA API somewhat to support a proper virtual channel abstraction, and also works to represent this through the driver model by giving each DMAC its own platform device. There's also a few other minor changes to support a few new CPU subtypes, and make TEI generation for the SH DMAC configurable.

* [PATCH] fix arm26 THREAD_SIZEAdrian Bunk2006-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | arm26 currently has a 256 kB THREAD_SIZE (sic). Looking at the comment in the code, this seems to be based on a misunderstanding. The comment says: this needs attention (see kernel/fork.c which gets a nice div by zero if this is lower than 8*32768 kernel/fork.c does: max_threads = mempages / (8 * THREAD_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE) Therefore, a division by 0 is impossible for all reasonable cases with THREAD_SIZE >= PAGE_SIZE. Since the minimum PAGE_SIZE Linux uses on the arm26 architecture is 16k, PAGE_SIZE should be sufficient for THREAD_SIZE.

Instead of encoding the syscall number in the swi instruction which requires reading back the instruction from memory to extract that number and polluting the data cache, it was decided that simply storing the syscall number into r7 would be more efficient. Since this represents an ABI change then making that change at the same time as EABI support is the right thing to do. It is now expected that EABI user space binaries put the syscall number into r7 and use "swi 0" to call the kernel. Syscall register argument are also expected to have "EABI arrangement" i.e. 64-bit arguments should be put in a pair of registers from an even register number. Example with long ftruncate64(unsigned int fd, loff_t length): legacy ABI: - put fd into r0 - put length into r1-r2 - use "swi #(0x900000 + 194)" to call the kernel new ARM EABI: - put fd into r0 - put length into r2-r3 (skipping over r1) - put 194 into r7 - use "swi 0" to call the kernel Note that it is important to use 0 for the swi argument as backward compatibility with legacy ABI user space relies on this. The syscall macros in asm-arm/unistd.h were also updated to support both ABIs and implement the right call method automatically.

| * | | [ARM] 3102/1: ARM EABI: stack pointer must be 64-bit aligned after a CPU ↵Nicolas Pitre2006-01-14

We therefore must verify and adjust sp accordingly when taking an exception from kernel mode since sp might not necessarily be 64-bit aligned if the exception occurs in the middle of a kernel function. If the exception occurs while in user mode then no sp fixup is needed as long as sizeof(struct pt_regs) as well as any additional syscall data stack space remain multiples of 8.

This means that any slab allocation must start on a 64-bit boundary which is not equivalent to BYTES_PER_WORD, especially on those architecture versions that implements the ldrd/strd instructions. Overriding the default alignment disables some slab debug features. If those debug features are really needed then the kernel will have to be compiled for version 4 of the ARM architecture.

One must not sleep while holding a spinlock. The fix seems easy enough - move the cpuset semaphore region outside the tasklist_lock region. This required a few lines of mechanism to implement. The oom code where the locking needs to be changed does not have access to the cpuset locks, which are internal to kernel/cpuset.c only. So I provided a couple more cpuset interface routines, available to the rest of the kernel, which simple take and drop the lock needed here (cpusets callback_sem).

Since there's no telling what sort of application (e.g. dd/cp/cat) might be dropping large files there, this lets the admin choose the appropriate default behavior for their site's situation. Introduce a tmpfs mount option which allows specifying a memory policy and a second option to specify the nodelist for that policy. With the default policy, tmpfs will behave as it does today. This patch adds support for preferred, bind, and interleave policies. The default policy will cause pages to be added to tmpfs files on the node which is doing the writing. Some jobs expect a single process to create and manage the tmpfs files. This results in a node which has a significantly reduced number of free pages. With this patch, the administrator can specify the policy and nodes for that policy where they would prefer allocations. This patch was originally written by Brent Casavant and Hugh Dickins. I added support for the bind and preferred policies and the mpol_nodelist mount option.

* | | [PATCH] Fix for CONFIG_NUMA without CONFIG_SWAPChristoph Lameter2006-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some people apparently run CONFIG_NUMA without CONFIG_SWAP. The migration code currently depends on swap. This patch provides a set of inline fallback functions so that the kernel properly compiles. However, calls to migration functions will fail.

* | | [PATCH] sched: add new SCHED_BATCH policyIngo Molnar2006-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new SCHED_BATCH (3) scheduling policy: such tasks are presumed CPU-intensive, and will acquire a constant +5 priority level penalty. Such policy is nice for workloads that are non-interactive, but which do not want to give up their nice levels. The policy is also useful for workloads that want a deterministic scheduling policy without interactivity causing extra preemptions (between that workload's tasks).

* | | [PATCH] Altix: ioc3 serial supportPatrick Gefre2006-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add driver support for a 2 port PCI IOC3-based serial card on Altix boxes: This is a re-submission. On the original submission I was asked to organize the code so that the MIPS ioc3 ethernet and serial parts could be used with this driver. Stanislaw Skowronek was kind enough to provide the shim layer for this - thanks Stanislaw. This patch includes the shim layer and the Altix PCI ioc3 serial driver. The MIPS merged ioc3 ethernet and serial support is forthcoming.

| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A Christoph suggested that the /proc/devices file be converted to use the seq_file interface. This patch does that. I've obxerved one or two installation that had sufficiently large sans that they overran the 4k limit on /proc/devices.
