2016-08-07ia64: move exports to definitionsAl Viro
Here we have another kind of deviation from the default case - a difference between exporting functions and non-functions. EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL... is really different from EXPORT_SYMBOL... on ia64, and we need to use the right one when moving exports from *.c where C compiler has the required information to *.S, where we need to supply it manually. parisc64 will be another one like that.

2013-01-27cputime: Generic on-demand virtual cputime accountingFrederic Weisbecker
If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be able to account the cputime without using the tick. Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by hooking into kernel/user boundaries. However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick outside idle. This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks. There are some upsides of doing this: - This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full tickless mode). - We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically (de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically. And one downside: - There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.

2011-05-28ns: Wire up the setns system callEric W. Biederman
32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working. The rest I have looked at closely and I can't find any problems. setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I don't expect any weird architecture porting problems. While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300 the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was new in the 2.6.39. v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W.

2009-10-12net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscallArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and net stack entry/exit operations. Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation. This takes into account comments made by: . Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram, sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest. . Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that works in the same fashion as the ppoll one. If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB one) it has received so far. . Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it in the next call. This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg, where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at every underlying recvmsg call.

And below is for call [MII] nop.m 0x0 mov r3=ip nop.i 0x0 [MLX] nop.m 0x0 brl.many .;; In this way, only one instruction is changed to convert code between nop and call. This should meet dyn-ftrace's requirement. But this requires CPU support brl instruction, so dyn-ftrace isn't supported for old Itanium system. Assume there are quite few such old system running.

2008-11-20[IA64] Rationalize kernel mode alignment checkingTony Luck
Itanium processors can handle some misaligned data accesses. They also provide a mode where all such accesses are forced to trap. The kernel was schizophrenic about use of this mode: * Base kernel code ran in permissive mode where the only traps generated were from those cases that the h/w could not handle. * Interrupt, syscall and trap code ran in strict mode where all unaligned accesses caused traps to the 0x5a00 unaligned reference vector. Use strict alignment checking throughout the kernel, but make sure that we continue to let user mode use more relaxed mode as the default. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

2008-04-22[IA64] disable interrupts on exit of ia64_trace_syscallHidetoshi Seto
While testing with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y, I found that I occasionally get very huge system time in some threads. So I dug the issue and finally noticed that it was caused because of an interrupt which interrupt in the following window: > [arch/ia64/kernel/entry.S: (!CONFIG_PREEMPT && CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING)] > > ENTRY(ia64_leave_syscall) > : > (pUStk) rsm psr.i > cmp.eq pLvSys,p0=r0,r0 // pLvSys=1: leave from syscall > (pUStk) cmp.eq.unc p6,p0=r0,r0 // p6 <- pUStk > .work_processed_syscall: > adds r2=PT(LOADRS)+16,r12 > (pUStk) mov.m r22=ar.itc // fetch time at leave > adds r18=TI_FLAGS+IA64_TASK_SIZE,r13 > ;; > <<< window: from here >>> > (p6) ld4 r31=[r18] // load current_thread_info()->flags > ld8 r19=[r2],PT(B6)-PT(LOADRS) > adds r3=PT(AR_BSPSTORE)+16,r12 > ;; > mov r16=ar.bsp > ld8 r18=[r2],PT(R9)-PT(B6) > (p6) and r15=TIF_WORK_MASK,r31 // any work other than TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE? > ;; > ld8 r23=[r3],PT(R11)-PT(AR_BSPSTORE) > (p6) cmp4.ne.unc p6,p0=r15, r0 // any special work pending? > (p6) br.cond.spnt .work_pending_syscall > ;; > ld8 r9=[r2],PT(CR_IPSR)-PT(R9) > ld8 r11=[r3],PT(CR_IIP)-PT(R11) > (pNonSys) break 0 // bug check: we shouldn't be here if pNonSys is TRUE! > ;; > invala > <<< window: to here >>> > rsm psr.i | psr.ic // turn off interrupts and interruption collection If pUStk is true, it means we are going to return user mode, hence we fetch ar.itc to get time at leave from system. It seems that it is not possible to interrupt the window if pUStk is true, because interrupts are disabled early. And also disabling interrupt makes sense because it is safe for referring current_thread_info()->flags. However interrupting the window while pUStk is true was possible. The route was: ia64_trace_syscall -> .work_pending_syscall_end -> .work_processed_syscall Only in case entering the window from this route, interrupts are enabled during in the window even if pUStk is true. I suppose interrupts must be disabled here anyway if pUStk is true. I'm not sure but afraid that what kind of bad effect were there, other than crazy system time which I found. FYI, there was a commit 6f6d75825dc49b082906b84537b4df28293c2977 that points out a bug at same point(exit of ia64_trace_syscall) in 2006. It can be said that there was an another bug.

2008-02-20[IA64] VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING (accurate cpu time accounting)Hidetoshi Seto
This patch implements VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING for ia64, which enable us to use more accurate cpu time accounting. The VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is an item of kernel config, which s390 and powerpc arch have. By turning this config on, these archs change the mechanism of cpu time accounting from tick-sampling based one to state-transition based one. The state-transition based accounting is done by checking time (cycle counter in processor) at every state-transition point, such as entrance/exit of kernel, interrupt, softirq etc. The difference between point to point is the actual time consumed during in the state. There is no doubt about that this value is more accurate than that of tick-sampling based accounting.

2008-02-05timerfd: new timerfd APIDavide Libenzi
This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch: int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags); int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags, const struct itimerspec *utmr, struct itimerspec *otmr); int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr); The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd. The "clockid" parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME. The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not NULL). The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit is set in the "flags" parameter. Otherwise it's a relative time. The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or {0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet. Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are supported (with the same interface). Here's a simple test program I used to exercise the new timerfd APIs: http://www.xmailserver.org/timerfd-test2.c [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix ia64 build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix m68k build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mips build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix alpha, arm, blackfin, cris, m68k, s390, sparc and sparc64 builds] [heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com: fix s390] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix powerpc build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix sparc64 more] Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
