typo fixes

2007-10-19T23:34:40+00:00

Most of these fixes were already submitted for old kernel versions, and were
approved, but for some reason they never made it into the releases.

Because this is a consolidation of a couple old missed patches, it touches both
Kconfigs and documentation texts.

Combine instrumentation menus in kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation

2007-10-19T18:53:54+00:00

Quoting Randy:

"It seems sad that this patch sources Kconfig.marker, a 7-line file,
20-something times.  Yes, you (we) don't want to put those 7 lines into
20-something different files, so sourcing is the right thing.

However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make
_one_ Instrumentation support menu that includes PROFILING, OPROFILE, KPROBES,
and MARKERS and then use (source) that in all of the arches."

KCONFIG: Make "Instrumentation support" non-EXPERIMENTAL

2007-10-17T15:42:47+00:00

It makes more sense to make instrumentation support experimental on a
case-by-case basis.

memory unplug: page offline

2007-10-16T16:43:02+00:00

Logic.
 - set all pages in  [start,end)  as isolated migration-type.
   by this, all free pages in the range will be not-for-use.
 - Migrate all LRU pages in the range.
 - Test all pages in the range's refcnt is zero or not.

Todo:
 - allocate migration destination page from better area.
 - confirm page_count(page)== 0 && PageReserved(page) page is safe to be freed..
 (I don't like this kind of page but..
 - Find out pages which cannot be migrated.
 - more running tests.
 - Use reclaim for unplugging other memory type area.

Do not depend on MAX_ORDER when grouping pages by mobility

2007-10-16T16:43:00+00:00

Currently mobility grouping works at the MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES level.  This makes
sense for the majority of users where this is also the huge page size.
However, on platforms like ia64 where the huge page size is runtime
configurable it is desirable to group at a lower order.  On x86_64 and
occasionally on x86, the hugepage size may not always be MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES.

This patch groups pages together based on the value of HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER.  It
uses a compile-time constant if possible and a variable where the huge page
size is runtime configurable.

It is assumed that grouping should be done at the lowest sensible order and
that the user would not want to override this.  If this is not true,
page_block order could be forced to a variable initialised via a boot-time
kernel parameter.

One potential issue with this patch is that IA64 now parses hugepagesz with
early_param() instead of __setup().  __setup() is called after the memory
allocator has been initialised and the pageblock bitmaps already setup.  In
tests on one IA64 there did not seem to be any problem with using
early_param() and in fact may be more correct as it guarantees the parameter
is handled before the parsing of hugepages=.

IA64: SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP 16K page size support

2007-10-16T16:42:51+00:00

Equip IA64 sparsemem with a virtual memmap.  This is similar to the existing
CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP functionality for DISCONTIGMEM.  It uses a PAGE_SIZE
mapping.

This is provided as a minimally intrusive solution.  We split the 128TB
VMALLOC area into two 64TB areas and use one for the virtual memmap.

This should replace CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP long term.

[IA64] add driver for ACPI methods to call native firmware

2007-10-12T22:11:43+00:00

This driver for HPQ5001 devices installs a global ACPI OpRegion handler.
AML methods can use this OpRegion to call native firmware entry points.

ACPI does not define a mechanism for AML methods to call native firmware
interfaces such as PAL or SAL.  This OpRegion handler adds such a mechanism.
After the handler is installed, an AML method can call native firmware by
storing the arguments and firmware entry point to specific offsets in the
OpRegion.  When AML reads the "return value" offset from the OpRegion, this
handler loads up the arguments, makes the firmware call, and returns the
result.

[IA64] Include Kconfig.preempt

2007-08-13T20:20:38+00:00

arch/ia64/Kconfig failed to include kernel/Kconfig.preempt that meant it
did not support PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY and PREEMPT_BKL (inadvertently).
This was recently noticed when the newly-added PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS in
Kconfig.preempt that was "select"ed from drivers/kvm/Kconfig (therefore)
started giving bogus warnings ('select' used by config symbol 'KVM' refers
to undefined symbol 'PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS') on ia64 builds.

So let's remove the open-coded definition of CONFIG_PREEMPT in
arch/ia64/Kconfig and replace it with just including Kconfig.preempt
instead, like the other archs do.

[IA64] Fix build failure in fs/quota.c

b716395e2b8e450e294537de0c91476ded2f0395 added code to handle
a compatability issue with 32bit quota tools, but the new compat
routines are only needed when CONFIG_COMPAT=y (and with this set
to 'n' there are compilation problems since some new typedefs are
not visible).
