* Group short-lived and reclaimable kernel allocationsMel Gorman2007-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch marks a number of allocations that are either short-lived such as network buffers or are reclaimable such as inode allocations. When something like updatedb is called, long-lived and unmovable kernel allocations tend to be spread throughout the address space which increases fragmentation. This patch groups these allocations together as much as possible by adding a new MIGRATE_TYPE. The MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE type is for allocations that can be reclaimed on demand, but not moved. i.e. they can be migrated by deleting them and re-reading the information from elsewhere.

* Memoryless nodes: Use N_HIGH_MEMORY for cpusetsChristoph Lameter2007-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cpusets try to ensure that any node added to a cpuset's mems_allowed is on-line and contains memory. The assumption was that online nodes contained memory. Thus, it is possible to add memoryless nodes to a cpuset and then add tasks to this cpuset. This results in continuous series of oom-kill and apparent system hang. Change cpusets to use node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] [a.k.a. node_memory_map] in place of node_online_map when vetting memories. Return error if admin attempts to write a non-empty mems_allowed node mask containing only memoryless-nodes.

* Memoryless nodes: Allow profiling data to fall back to other nodesChristoph Lameter2007-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Processors on memoryless nodes must be able to fall back to remote nodes in order to get a profiling buffer. This may lead to excessive NUMA traffic but I think we should allow this rather than failing.

* x86: optimize page faults like all other achitectures and kill notifier cruftChristoph Hellwig2007-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | x86(-64) are the last architectures still using the page fault notifier cruft for the kprobes page fault hook. This patch converts them to the proper direct calls, and removes the now unused pagefault notifier bits aswell as the cruft in kprobes.c that was related to this mess. I know Andi didn't really like this, but all other architecture maintainers agreed the direct calls are much better and besides the obvious cruft removal a common way of dealing with kprobes across architectures is important aswell.

* slow down printk during bootRandy Dunlap2007-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Optionally add a boot delay after each kernel printk() call, crudely measured in milliseconds, with a maximum delay of 10 seconds per printk. Enable CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY=y and then add (e.g.): "lpj=loops_per_jiffy boot_delay=100" to the kernel command line. It has been useful in cases like "during boot, my machine just reboots or the screen goes black" by slowing down printk, (and adding initcall_debug), we can usually see the last thing that happened before the lights went out which is usually a valuable clue.

When a read() requests an amount of data smaller than the amount of data that the seq_file's foo_show() outputs, the output starts looping and outputs the "stuck" element's data infinitely. There may be multiple sequential calls to foo_start(), foo_next()/foo_show(), and foo_stop() for a single open with sequential read of the file. The _start() does not have to start with the 0th element and _show() might be called multiple times in a row for the same element for a given open/read of the seq_file. Also header output should not be happening in _start(). All output should be in _show(), which SEQ_START_TOKEN is meant to help. Having output in _start() may also negatively impact seq_file's seq_read() and traverse() accounting.

We duplicate VCPU time between guest and user to allow an unmodified "top(1)" to display correct value.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | export cpu_clock() - the preferred API instead of sched_clock(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* | | sched: fix: move the CPU check into ->task_new_fair()Ingo Molnar2007-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | noticed by Peter Zijlstra: fix: move the CPU check into ->task_new_fair(), this way we can call place_entity() and get child ->vruntime right at initial wakeup time. (without this there can be large latencies) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
