* [PATCH] uml: make hw_controller_type->release exist only for archs needing itPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | With Chris Wedgwood <cw@f00f.org> As suggested by Chris, we can make the "just added" method ->release conditional to UML only (better: to archs requesting it, i.e. only UML currently), so that other archs don't get this unneeded crud, and if UML won't need it any more we can kill this.

* [PATCH] uml: add and use generic hw_controller_type->releasePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With Chris Wedgwood <cw@f00f.org> Currently UML must explicitly call the UML-specific free_irq_by_irq_and_dev() for each free_irq call it's done. This is needed because ->shutdown and/or ->disable are only called when the last "action" for that irq is removed. Instead, for UML shared IRQs (UML IRQs are very often, if not always, shared), for each dev_id some setup is done, which must be cleared on the release of that fd. For instance, for each open console a new instance (i.e. new dev_id) of the same IRQ is requested(). Exactly, a fd is stored in an array (pollfds), which is after read by a host thread and passed to poll(). Each event registered by poll() triggers an interrupt. So, for each free_irq() we must remove the corresponding host fd from the table, which we do via this -release() method. In this patch we add an appropriate hook for this, and remove all uses of it by pointing the hook to the said procedure; this is safe to do since the said procedure. Also some cosmetic improvements are included. This is heavily based on some work by Chris Wedgwood, which however didn't get the patch merged for something I'd call a "misunderstanding" (the need for this patch wasn't cleanly explained, thus adding the generic hook was felt as undesirable).

* [PATCH] Avoiding mmap fragmentationWolfgang Wander2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ingo recently introduced a great speedup for allocating new mmaps using the free_area_cache pointer which boosts the specweb SSL benchmark by 4-5% and causes huge performance increases in thread creation. The downside of this patch is that it does lead to fragmentation in the mmap-ed areas (visible via /proc/self/maps), such that some applications that work fine under 2.4 kernels quickly run out of memory on any 2.6 kernel. The problem is twofold: 1) the free_area_cache is used to continue a search for memory where the last search ended. Before the change new areas were always searched from the base address on. So now new small areas are cluttering holes of all sizes throughout the whole mmap-able region whereas before small holes tended to close holes near the base leaving holes far from the base large and available for larger requests. 2) the free_area_cache also is set to the location of the last munmap-ed area so in scenarios where we allocate e.g. five regions of 1K each, then free regions 4 2 3 in this order the next request for 1K will be placed in the position of the old region 3, whereas before we appended it to the still active region 1, placing it at the location of the old region 2. Before we had 1 free region of 2K, now we only get two free regions of 1K -> fragmentation. The patch addresses thes issues by introducing yet another cache descriptor cached_hole_size that contains the largest known hole size below the current free_area_cache. If a new request comes in the size is compared against the cached_hole_size and if the request can be filled with a hole below free_area_cache the search is started from the base instead. The results look promising: Whereas 2.6.12-rc4 fragments quickly and my (earlier posted) leakme.c test program terminates after 50000+ iterations with 96 distinct and fragmented maps in /proc/self/maps it performs nicely (as expected) with thread creation, Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads requires 0.7s system time. Taking out Ingo's patch (un-patch available per request) by basically deleting all mentions of free_area_cache from the kernel and starting the search for new memory always at the respective bases we observe: leakme terminates successfully with 11 distinctive hardly fragmented areas in /proc/self/maps but thread creating is gringdingly slow: 30+s(!) system time for Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads. Now - drumroll ;-) the appended patch works fine with leakme: it ends with only 7 distinct areas in /proc/self/maps and also thread creation seems sufficiently fast with 0.71s for 20000 threads.

* [PATCH] VM: early zone reclaimMartin Hicks2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the core of the (much simplified) early reclaim. The goal of this patch is to reclaim some easily-freed pages from a zone before falling back onto another zone. One of the major uses of this is NUMA machines. With the default allocator behavior the allocator would look for memory in another zone, which might be off-node, before trying to reclaim from the current zone. This adds a zone tuneable to enable early zone reclaim. It is selected on a per-zone basis and is turned on/off via syscall. Adding some extra throttling on the reclaim was also required (patch 4/4). Without the machine would grind to a crawl when doing a "make -j" kernel build. Even with this patch the System Time is higher on average, but it seems tolerable. Here are some numbers for kernbench runs on a 2-node, 4cpu, 8Gig RAM Altix in the "make -j" run: wall user sys %cpu ctx sw. sleeps ---- ---- --- ---- ------ ------ No patch 1009 1384 847 258 298170 504402 w/patch, no reclaim 880 1376 667 288 254064 396745 w/patch & reclaim 1079 1385 926 252 291625 548873 These numbers are the average of 2 runs of 3 "make -j" runs done right after system boot. Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so these numbers aren't terribly useful except to seee that with reclaim the benchmark still finishes in a reasonable amount of time. I also looked at the NUMA hit/miss stats for the "make -j" runs and the reclaim doesn't make any difference when the machine is thrashing away. Doing a "make -j8" on a single node that is filled with page cache pages takes 700 seconds with reclaim turned on and 735 seconds without reclaim (due to remote memory accesses).

* [PATCH] smp_processor_id() cleanupIngo Molnar2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that Arjan van de Ven and I came up with. The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the usage side. Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined __smp_processor_id. In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols: - smp_processor_id(): debug variant. - raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h. There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT: - debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to smp_processor_id(). Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new lib/smp_processor_id.c file. All related comments got updated and/or clarified. I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86: {SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT} I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT. (Other architectures are untested, but should work just fine.)

| * [PATCH] flush icache in correct contextRoman Zippel2005-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | flush_icache_range() is used in two different situation - in binfmt_elf.c & co for user space mappings and module.c for kernel modules. On m68k flush_icache_range() doesn't know which data to flush, as it has separate address spaces and the pointer argument can be valid in either address space. First I considered splitting flush_icache_range(), but this patch is simpler. Setting the correct context gives flush_icache_range() enough information to flush the correct data.

| * [PATCH] drop note_interrupt() for per-CPU for proper scalingJohn Hawkes2005-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "unhandled interrupts" catcher, note_interrupt(), increments a global desc->irq_count and grossly damages scaling of very large systems, e.g., >192p ia64 Altix, because of this highly contented cacheline, especially for timer interrupts. 384p is severely crippled, and 512p is unuseable. All calls to note_interrupt() can be disabled by booting with "noirqdebug", but this disables the useful interrupt checking for all interrupts. I propose eliminating note_interrupt() for all per-CPU interrupts. This was the behavior of linux-2.6.10 and earlier, but in 2.6.11 a code restructuring added a call to note_interrupt() for per-CPU interrupts. Besides, note_interrupt() is a bit racy for concurrent CPU calls anyway, as the desc->irq_count++ increment isn't atomic (which, if done, would make scaling even worse).

| * [PATCH] cpuset exit NULL dereference fixPaul Jackson2005-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a race in the kernel cpuset code, between the code to handle notify_on_release, and the code to remove a cpuset. The notify_on_release code can end up trying to access a cpuset that has been removed. In the most common case, this causes a NULL pointer dereference from the routine cpuset_path. However all manner of bad things are possible, in theory at least. The existing code decrements the cpuset use count, and if the count goes to zero, processes the notify_on_release request, if appropriate. However, once the count goes to zero, unless we are holding the global cpuset_sem semaphore, there is nothing to stop another task from immediately removing the cpuset entirely, and recycling its memory. The obvious fix would be to always hold the cpuset_sem semaphore while decrementing the use count and dealing with notify_on_release. However we don't want to force a global semaphore into the mainline task exit path, as that might create a scaling problem. The actual fix is almost as easy - since this is only an issue for cpusets using notify_on_release, which the top level big cpusets don't normally need to use, only take the cpuset_sem for cpusets using notify_on_release. This code has been run for hours without a hiccup, while running a cpuset create/destroy stress test that could crash the existing kernel in seconds. This patch applies to the current -linus git kernel.

| * [PATCH] cpusets+hotplug+preepmt brokenPaul Jackson2005-05-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the entwining of cpusets and hotplug code in the "No more Mr. Nice Guy" case of sched.c move_task_off_dead_cpu(). Since the hotplug code is holding a spinlock at this point, we cannot take the cpuset semaphore, cpuset_sem, as would seem to be required either to update the tasks cpuset, or to scan up the nested cpuset chain, looking for the nearest cpuset ancestor that still has some CPUs that are online. So we just punt and blast the tasks cpus_allowed with all bits allowed. This reverts these lines of code to what they were before the cpuset patch. And it updates the cpuset Doc file, to match. The one known alternative to this that seems to work came from Dinakar Guniguntala, and required the hotplug code to take the cpuset_sem semaphore much earlier in its processing. So far as we know, the increased locking entanglement between cpusets and hot plug of this alternative approach is not worth doing in this case.

There is no IRQ 46 interrupt action handler. It has lots of impact on performance. Kernel 2.6.10 and its prior versions have no the problem. Basically, kernel 2.6.10 will mask the spurious edge interrupt if the interrupt is triggered for the second time and its status includes IRQ_DISABLE|IRQ_PENDING. Originally, IA64 kernel has its own specific _irq_desc definitions in file arch/ia64/kernel/irq.c. The definition initiates _irq_desc[irq].status to IRQ_DISABLE. Since kernel 2.6.11, it was moved to architecture independent codes, i.e. kernel/irq/handle.c, but kernel/irq/handle.c initiates _irq_desc[irq].status to 0 instead of IRQ_DISABLE.

This is used by dbus and nscd. -Steve --- Updated to 2.6.12-rc4-mm1. -dwmw2 Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
* | AUDIT: Round up audit skb expansion to AUDIT_BUFSIZ.David Woodhouse2005-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Otherwise, we will be repeatedly reallocating, even if we're only adding a few bytes at a time. Pointed out by Steve Grubb. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
* | Add audit_log_typeChris Wright2005-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add audit_log_type to allow callers to specify type and pid when logging. Convert audit_log to wrapper around audit_log_type. Could have converted all audit_log callers directly, but common case is default of type AUDIT_KERNEL and pid 0. Update audit_log_start to take type and pid values when creating a new audit_buffer. Move sequences that did audit_log_start, audit_log_format, audit_set_type, audit_log_end, to simply call audit_log_type directly. This obsoletes audit_set_type and audit_set_pid, so remove them.

* | Move ifdef CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL to headerChris Wright2005-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove code conditionally dependent on CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL from audit.c. Move these dependencies to audit.h with the rest. Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
* | Audit requires CONFIG_NETChris Wright2005-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Audit now actually requires netlink. So make it depend on CONFIG_NET, and remove the inline dependencies on CONFIG_NET. Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

* | AUDIT: Fix abuse of va_args. David Woodhouse2005-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | We're not allowed to use args twice; we need to use va_copy. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
* | AUDIT: pass size argument to audit_expand().David Woodhouse2005-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Let audit_expand() know how much it's expected to grow the buffer, in the case that we have that information to hand. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
* | AUDIT: Fix reported length of audit messages.Steve Grubb2005-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We were setting nlmsg_len to skb->len, but we should be subtracting the size of the header. From: Steve Grubb <sgrubb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

* | AUDIT: buffer audit msgs directly to skbChris Wright2005-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Drop the use of a tmp buffer in the audit_buffer, and just buffer directly to the skb. All header data that was temporarily stored in the audit_buffer can now be stored directly in the netlink header in the skb. Resize skb as needed. This eliminates the extra copy (and the audit_log_move function which was responsible for copying). Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
* | AUDIT: expand audit tmp buffer as neededChris Wright2005-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce audit_expand and make the audit_buffer use a dynamic buffer which can be resized. When audit buffer is moved to skb it will not be fragmented across skb's, so we can eliminate the sklist in the audit_buffer. During audit_log_move, we simply copy the full buffer into a single skb, and then audit_log_drain sends it on.
