* raid: make RAID autodetect default a KConfig optionArjan van de Ven2008-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | RAID autodetect has the side effect of requiring synchronisation of all device drivers, which can make the boot several seconds longer (I've measured 7 on one of my laptops).... even for systems that don't have RAID setup for the root filesystem (the only FS where this matters). This patch makes the default for autodetect a config option; either way the user can always override via the kernel command line.

* fastboot: make the RAID autostart code print a message just before waitingArjan van de Ven2008-10-12
| | | | | | | | As requested/suggested by Neil Brown: make the raid code print that it's about to wait for probing to be done as well as give a suggestion on how to disable the probing if the user doesn't use raid. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com
* fastboot: make the raid autodetect code wait for all devices to initArjan van de Ven2008-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | The raid autodetect code really needs to have all devices probed before it can detect raid arrays; not doing so would give rather messy situations where arrays would get detected as degraded while they shouldn't be etc. This is in preparation of removing the "wait for everything to init" code that makes everyone pay, not just raid users.

* Add a script to visualize the kernel boot process / timeArjan van de Ven2008-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When optimizing the kernel boot time, it's very valuable to visualize what is going on at which time. In addition, with some of the initializing going asynchronous soon, it's valuable to track/print which worker thread is executing the initialization. This patch adds a script to turn a dmesg into a SVG graph (that can be shown with tools such as InkScape, Gimp or Firefox) and a small change to the initcall code to print the PID of the thread calling the initcall (so that the script can work out the parallelism).

* modules: extend initcall_debug functionality to the module loaderArjan van de Ven2008-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel has this really nice facility where if you put "initcall_debug" on the kernel commandline, it'll print which function it's going to execute just before calling an initcall, and then after the call completes it will 1) print if it had an error code 2) checks for a few simple bugs (like leaving irqs off) and 3) print how long the init call took in milliseconds. While trying to optimize the boot speed of my laptop, I have been loving number 3 to figure out what to optimize... ... and then I wished that the same thing was done for module loading. This patch makes the module loader use this exact same functionality; it's a logical extension in my view (since modules are just sort of late binding initcalls anyway) and so far I've found it quite useful in finding where things are too slow in my boot.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added early initcall (pre-SMP) support, using an identical interface to that of regular initcalls. Functions called from do_pre_smp_initcalls() could be converted to use this cleaner interface. This is required by CPU hotplug, because early users have to register notifiers before going SMP. One such CPU hotplug user is the relay interface with buffer-only channels, which needs to register such a notifier, to be usable in early code. This in turn is used by kmemtrace.

| * inflate: refactor inflate malloc codeThomas Petazzoni2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot process and this is provided with a set of four functions: malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release. The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement free. This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena. This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying all the malloc/free implementations. The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses: - free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which allocations should be made - free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on the number of allocations, it just grows as much as needed The architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog() function call. This function will be called several times during the decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is still running. If an architecture provides such a call, then it must define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls arch_decomp_wdog(). Work initially done by Matt Mackall, updated to a recent version of the kernel and improved by me.

It allows us to simplify domain management code and avoid unecessary domain rebuilds during cpu hotplug event handling. Please ignore the cpusets part for now. It needs some more work in order to avoid crazy lock nesting. Although I did simplfy and unify domain reinitialization logic. We now simply call partition_sched_domains() in all the cases. This means that we're using exact same code paths as in cpusets case and hence the test below cover cpusets too. Cpuset changes to make rebuild_sched_domains() callable from various contexts are in the separate patch (right next after this one). This not only boots but also easily handles while true; do make clean; make -j 8; done and while true; do on-off-cpu 1; done at the same time. (on-off-cpu 1 simple does echo 0/1 > /sys/.../cpu1/online thing). Suprisingly the box (dual-core Core2) is quite usable. In fact I'm typing this on right now in gnome-terminal and things are moving just fine. Also this is running with most of the debug features enabled (lockdep, mutex, etc) no BUG_ONs or lockdep complaints so far. I believe I addressed all of the Dmitry's comments for original Linus' version. I changed both fair and rt balancer to mask out non-active cpus. And replaced cpu_is_offline() with !cpu_active() in the main scheduler code where it made sense (to me).

The overwrite test compares the (virtual) initrd location to the (physical) first available memory location, which fails. This patch converts initrd_start to a page frame number, so it can safely be compared with min_low_pfn. Before the introduction of discontiguous memory support on m68k (12d810c1b8c2b913d48e629e2b5c01d105029839), min_low_pfn was just left untouched by the m68k-specific code (zero, I guess), and everything worked fine.

In addition to supporting the existing smp_call_function() in a more efficient manner, it also adds a more scalable variant called smp_call_function_single() for calling a given function on a single CPU only. The core of this is based on the x86-64 patch from Nick Piggin, lots of changes since then. "Alan D. Brunelle" <Alan.Brunelle@hp.com> has contributed lots of fixes and suggestions as well. Also thanks to Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> for reviewing RCU usage and getting rid of the data allocation fallback deadlock.

This is again to synchronize_sched() as call_rcu() is to synchronize_rcu(). Should be fine for experimental and -rt use, but not ready for inclusion. With some luck, I will be able to tell Andrew to come out of hiding on the next round. Passes multi-day rcutorture sessions with concurrent CPU hotplugging. Fixes since the first version include a bug that could result in indefinite blocking (spotted by Gautham Shenoy), better resiliency against CPU-hotplug operations, and other minor fixes. Fixes since the second version include reworking grace-period detection to avoid deadlocks that could happen when running concurrently with CPU hotplug, adding Mathieu's fix to avoid the softlockup messages, as well as Mathieu's fix to allow use earlier in boot. Fixes since the third version include a wrong-CPU bug spotted by Andrew, getting rid of the obsolete synchronize_kernel API that somehow snuck back in, merging spin_unlock() and local_irq_restore() in a few places, commenting the code that checks for quiescent states based on interrupting from user-mode execution or the idle loop, removing some inline attributes, and some code-style changes. Known/suspected shortcomings: o I still do not entirely trust the sleep/wakeup logic. Next step will be to use a private snapshot of the CPU online mask in rcu_sched_grace_period() -- if the CPU wasn't there at the start of the grace period, we don't need to hear from it. And the bit about accounting for changes in online CPUs inside of rcu_sched_grace_period() is ugly anyway. o It might be good for rcu_sched_grace_period() to invoke resched_cpu() when a given CPU wasn't responding quickly, but resched_cpu() is declared static... This patch also fixes a long-standing bug in the earlier preemptable-RCU implementation of synchronize_rcu() that could result in loss of concurrent external changes to a task's CPU affinity mask.

Its very important to keep the error in lpj values to minimum as any error in that may result in kernel panic in check_timer. In virtualization environment, On a highly overloaded host the guest delay calibration may sometimes result in errors beyond the ~50% that timer_irq_works can handle, resulting in the guest panicking. Does some formating changes to lpj_setup code to now have a single printk to print the bogomips value. We do this only for the boot processor because the AP's can have different base frequencies or the BIOS might boot a AP at a different frequency.

* initcalls: Fix m68k build and possible buffer overflowCyrill Gorcunov2008-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a build bug on m68k - gcc decides to emit a call to the strlen library function, which we don't implement. More importantly - my previous patch "init: don't lose initcall return values" (commit e662e1cfd434aa234b72fbc781f1d70211cb785b) had introduced potential buffer overflow by wrong calculation of string accumulator size. Use strlcat() instead, fixing both bugs. Many thanks Andreas Schwab and Geert Uytterhoeven for helping to catch and fix the bug.
