2005-04-25[IA64] perfmon: make pfm_sysctl a global, and other cleanupStephane Eranian
- make pfm_sysctl a global such that it is possible to enable/disable debug printk in sampling formats using PFM_DEBUG. - remove unused pfm_debug_var variable - fix a bug in pfm_handle_work where an BUG_ON() could be triggered. There is a path where pfm_handle_work() can be called with interrupts enabled, i.e., when TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set. The fix correct the masking and unmasking of interrupts in pfm_handle_work() such that we restore the interrupt mask as it was upon entry. signed-off-by: stephane eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

2005-04-25[IA64] speed up syscall path a bit moreDavid Mosberger-Tang
Recently I noticed that clearing ar.ssd/ar.csd right before srlz.d is causing significant stalling in the syscall path. The patch below fixes that by moving the register-writes after srlz.d. On a Madison, this drops break-based getpid() from 241 to 226 cycles (-15 cycles). Signed-off-by: David Mosberger-Tang <davidm@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2005-04-25[IA64] Tighten up unw_unwind_to_user checkKeith Owens
Detect user space by the unwind frame with predicate PRED_USER_STACK set, instead of a user space IP. Tighten up the last ditch check for running off the top of the kernel stack. Based on a suggestion by David Mosberger, reworked to fit the current tree. This survives my stress test which used to break 2.6.9 kernels. Unlike 2.6.11, the stress test now unwinds to the correct point, so gdb can get the user space registers. Signed-off-by: Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

2005-04-22[IA64] cpu hotplug: return offlined cpus to SALAshok Raj
This patch is required to support cpu removal for IPF systems. Existing code just fakes the real offline by keeping it run the idle thread, and polling for the bit to re-appear in the cpu_state to get out of the idle loop. For the cpu-offline to work correctly, we need to pass control of this CPU back to SAL so it can continue in the boot-rendez mode. This gives the SAL control to not pick this cpu as the monarch processor for global MCA events, and addition does not wait for this cpu to checkin with SAL for global MCA events as well. The handoff is implemented as documented in SAL specification section 3.2.5.1 "OS_BOOT_RENDEZ to SAL return State" Signed-off-by: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2005-04-22[IA64] ia32_signal.c: erroneous use of memset/memcpyArun Sharma
Found by Alexander Nyberg, improved by Bjorn Helgaas. - Fix the incorrect argument to sizeof() - looks like memcpy() code pass was dervived from code that used copy_from_user(). But in this case we are doing to kernel space to kernel space copy, so memcpy is the right routine, but it doesn't return an error code.

2005-04-19[PATCH] freepgt: hugetlb_free_pgd_rangeHugh Dickins
ia64 and ppc64 had hugetlb_free_pgtables functions which were no longer being called, and it wasn't obvious what to do about them. The ppc64 case turns out to be easy: the associated tables are noted elsewhere and freed later, safe to either skip its hugetlb areas or go through the motions of freeing nothing. Since ia64 does need a special case, restore to ppc64 the special case of skipping them. The ia64 hugetlb case has been broken since pgd_addr_end went in, though it probably appeared to work okay if you just had one such area; in fact it's been broken much longer if you consider a long munmap spanning from another region into the hugetlb region. In the ia64 hugetlb region, more virtual address bits are available than in the other regions, yet the page tables are structured the same way: the page at the bottom is larger. Here we need to scale down each addr before passing it to the standard free_pgd_range. Was about to write a hugely_scaled_down macro, but found htlbpage_to_page already exists for just this purpose. Fixed off-by-one in ia64 is_hugepage_only_range. Uninline free_pgd_range to make it available to ia64. Make sure the vma-gathering loop in free_pgtables cannot join a hugepage_only_range to any other (safe to join huges? probably but don't bother).

2005-04-19[PATCH] freepgt: free_pgtables use vma listHugh Dickins
Recent woes with some arches needing their own pgd_addr_end macro; and 4-level clear_page_range regression since 2.6.10's clear_page_tables; and its long-standing well-known inefficiency in searching throughout the higher-level page tables for those few entries to clear and free: all can be blamed on ignoring the list of vmas when we free page tables. Replace exit_mmap's clear_page_range of the total user address space by free_pgtables operating on the mm's vma list; unmap_region use it in the same way, giving floor and ceiling beyond which it may not free tables. This brings lmbench fork/exec/sh numbers back to 2.6.10 (unless preempt is enabled, in which case latency fixes spoil unmap_vmas throughput). Beware: the do_mmap_pgoff driver failure case must now use unmap_region instead of zap_page_range, since a page table might have been allocated, and can only be freed while it is touched by some vma. Move free_pgtables from mmap.c to memory.c, where its lower levels are adapted from the clear_page_range levels. (Most of free_pgtables' old code was actually for a non-existent case, prev not properly set up, dating from before hch gave us split_vma.) Pass mmu_gather** in the public interfaces, since we might want to add latency lockdrops later; but no attempt to do so yet, going by vma should itself reduce latency. But what if is_hugepage_only_range? Those ia64 and ppc64 cases need careful examination: put that off until a later patch of the series. What of x86_64's 32bit vdso page __map_syscall32 maps outside any vma? And the range to sparc64's flush_tlb_pgtables? It's less clear to me now that we need to do more than is done here - every PMD_SIZE ever occupied will be flushed, do we really have to flush every PGDIR_SIZE ever partially occupied? A shame to complicate it unnecessarily. Special thanks to David Miller for time spent repairing my ceilings.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
