      fix maxcpus=1 oops in show_stat() · 62e6f1e8
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      Alexey Dobriyan reports that maxcpus=1 is still broken in 2.6.23-rc4:
if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not set, x86_64 bootup oopses in show_stat() -
for_each_possible_cpu accesses a per-cpu area which was never set up.

Alexey identified commit 61ec7567
(ACPI: boot correctly with "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0") as the origin;
but it's not really to blame, just exposes a bug in 2.6.23-rc1's commit
8b3b2955 (Especially when !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU,
avoid needlessy allocating resources for CPUs that can never become available).

rc1's test for max_cpus < 2 in start_kernel() wasn't working because
max_cpus was still NR_CPUS at that point: until rc4 moved the maxcpus
parsing earlier.  Now it sets cpu_possible_map to 1 before allocating
all possible per-cpu areas; then smp_init() expands cpu_possible_map
to cpu_present_map (0xf in my case) later on.

rc1's commit has good intentions, but expects cpu_present_map to be
limited by maxcpus, which is only the case on i386.  cpus_and(possible,
possible,present) might be good, but needs an audit of cpu_present_map
uses - there may well be assumptions that any cpu present is possible.

So stay safe for now and just revert those #ifndef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
optimizations in rc1's commit.

      fix maxcpus=N parsing · 81340977
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      Commit 61ec7567 ('ACPI: boot correctly
with "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0"') broke 'maxcpus=' handling on x86[-64].

maxcpus=N is now having no effect on x86_64, and freezing bootup on i386
(because of inconsistency with the separate maxcpus parsing down in
arch/i386, I guess).  That's because early_param parsing is a little
different from __setup parsing, and needs the "=" omitted: then it seems
to work as the original commit intended (no mention of IO-APIC in
/proc/interrupts when maxcpus=0).

      ACPI: boot correctly with "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0" · 61ec7567
      由 Len Brown 提交于 
      In MPS mode, "nosmp" and "maxcpus=0" boot a UP kernel with IOAPIC disabled.
However, in ACPI mode, these parameters didn't completely disable
the IO APIC initialization code and boot failed.

init/main.c:
	Disable the IO_APIC if "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0"
	undefine disable_ioapic_setup() when it doesn't apply.

i386:
	delete ioapic_setup(), it was a duplicate of parse_noapic()
	delete undefinition of disable_ioapic_setup()

x86_64:
	rename disable_ioapic_setup() to parse_noapic() to match i386
	define disable_ioapic_setup() in header to match i386

      signal/timer/event: eventfd core · e1ad7468
      由 Davide Libenzi 提交于 
      This is a very simple and light file descriptor, that can be used as event
wait/dispatch by userspace (both wait and dispatch) and by the kernel
(dispatch only).  It can be used instead of pipe(2) in all cases where those
would simply be used to signal events.  Their kernel overhead is much lower
than pipes, and they do not consume two fds.  When used in the kernel, it can
offer an fd-bridge to enable, for example, functionalities like KAIO or
syslets/threadlets to signal to an fd the completion of certain operations.
But more in general, an eventfd can be used by the kernel to signal readiness,
in a POSIX poll/select way, of interfaces that would otherwise be incompatible
with it.  The API is:

int eventfd(unsigned int count);

The eventfd API accepts an initial "count" parameter, and returns an eventfd
fd.  It supports poll(2) (POLLIN, POLLOUT, POLLERR), read(2) and write(2).

The POLLIN flag is raised when the internal counter is greater than zero.

The POLLOUT flag is raised when at least a value of "1" can be written to the
internal counter.

The POLLERR flag is raised when an overflow in the counter value is detected.

The write(2) operation can never overflow the counter, since it blocks (unless
O_NONBLOCK is set, in which case -EAGAIN is returned).

But the eventfd_signal() function can do it, since it's supposed to not sleep
during its operation.

The read(2) function reads the __u64 counter value, and reset the internal
value to zero.  If the value read is equal to (__u64) -1, an overflow happened
on the internal counter (due to 2^64 eventfd_signal() posts that has never
been retired - unlickely, but possible).

The write(2) call writes an __u64 count value, and adds it to the current
counter.  The eventfd fd supports O_NONBLOCK also.

On the kernel side, we have:

struct file *eventfd_fget(int fd);
int eventfd_signal(struct file *file, unsigned int n);

The eventfd_fget() should be called to get a struct file* from an eventfd fd
(this is an fget() + check of f_op being an eventfd fops pointer).

The kernel can then call eventfd_signal() every time it wants to post an event
to userspace.  The eventfd_signal() function can be called from any context.
An eventfd() simple test and bench is available here:

http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-bench.c

This is the eventfd-based version of pipetest-4 (pipe(2) based):

http://www.xmailserver.org/pipetest-4.c

Not that performance matters much in the eventfd case, but eventfd-bench
shows almost as double as performance than pipetest-4.

      signal/timer/event: timerfd core · b215e283
      由 Davide Libenzi 提交于 
      This patch introduces a new system call for timers events delivered though
file descriptors.  This allows timer event to be used with standard POSIX
poll(2), select(2) and read(2).  As a consequence of supporting the Linux
f_op->poll subsystem, they can be used with epoll(2) too.

The system call is defined as:

int timerfd(int ufd, int clockid, int flags, const struct itimerspec *utmr);

The "ufd" parameter allows for re-use (re-programming) of an existing timerfd
w/out going through the close/open cycle (same as signalfd).  If "ufd" is -1,
s new file descriptor will be created, otherwise the existing "ufd" will be
re-programmed.

The "clockid" parameter is either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.  The time
specified in the "utmr->it_value" parameter is the expiry time for the timer.

If the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME flag is set in "flags", this is an absolute time,
otherwise it's a relative time.

If the time specified in the "utmr->it_interval" is not zero (.tv_sec == 0,
tv_nsec == 0), this is the period at which the following ticks should be
generated.

The "utmr->it_interval" should be set to zero if only one tick is requested.
Setting the "utmr->it_value" to zero will disable the timer, or will create a
timerfd without the timer enabled.

The function returns the new (or same, in case "ufd" is a valid timerfd
descriptor) file, or -1 in case of error.

As stated before, the timerfd file descriptor supports poll(2), select(2) and
epoll(2).  When a timer event happened on the timerfd, a POLLIN mask will be
returned.

The read(2) call can be used, and it will return a u32 variable holding the
number of "ticks" that happened on the interface since the last call to
read(2).  The read(2) call supportes the O_NONBLOCK flag too, and EAGAIN will
be returned if no ticks happened.

A quick test program, shows timerfd working correctly on my amd64 box:

      signal/timer/event: signalfd core · fba2afaa
      由 Davide Libenzi 提交于 
      This patch series implements the new signalfd() system call.

I took part of the original Linus code (and you know how badly it can be
broken :), and I added even more breakage ;) Signals are fetched from the same
signal queue used by the process, so signalfd will compete with standard
kernel delivery in dequeue_signal().  If you want to reliably fetch signals on
the signalfd file, you need to block them with sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK).  This
seems to be working fine on my Dual Opteron machine.  I made a quick test
program for it:

http://www.xmailserver.org/signafd-test.c

The signalfd() system call implements signal delivery into a file descriptor
receiver.  The signalfd file descriptor if created with the following API:

int signalfd(int ufd, const sigset_t *mask, size_t masksize);

The "ufd" parameter allows to change an existing signalfd sigmask, w/out going
to close/create cycle (Linus idea).  Use "ufd" == -1 if you want a brand new
signalfd file.

The "mask" allows to specify the signal mask of signals that we are interested
in.  The "masksize" parameter is the size of "mask".

The signalfd fd supports the poll(2) and read(2) system calls.  The poll(2)
will return POLLIN when signals are available to be dequeued.  As a direct
consequence of supporting the Linux poll subsystem, the signalfd fd can use
used together with epoll(2) too.

The read(2) system call will return a "struct signalfd_siginfo" structure in
the userspace supplied buffer.  The return value is the number of bytes copied
in the supplied buffer, or -1 in case of error.  The read(2) call can also
return 0, in case the sighand structure to which the signalfd was attached,
has been orphaned.  The O_NONBLOCK flag is also supported, and read(2) will
return -EAGAIN in case no signal is available.

If the size of the buffer passed to read(2) is lower than sizeof(struct
signalfd_siginfo), -EINVAL is returned.  A read from the signalfd can also
return -ERESTARTSYS in case a signal hits the process.  The format of the
struct signalfd_siginfo is, and the valid fields depends of the (->code &
__SI_MASK) value, in the same way a struct siginfo would:

struct signalfd_siginfo {
	__u32 signo;	/* si_signo */
	__s32 err;	/* si_errno */
	__s32 code;	/* si_code */
	__u32 pid;	/* si_pid */
	__u32 uid;	/* si_uid */
	__s32 fd;	/* si_fd */
	__u32 tid;	/* si_fd */
	__u32 band;	/* si_band */
	__u32 overrun;	/* si_overrun */
	__u32 trapno;	/* si_trapno */
	__s32 status;	/* si_status */
	__s32 svint;	/* si_int */
	__u64 svptr;	/* si_ptr */
	__u64 utime;	/* si_utime */
	__u64 stime;	/* si_stime */

};

      由 Davide Libenzi 提交于 
      This patch add an anonymous inode source, to be used for files that need
and inode only in order to create a file*. We do not care of having an
inode for each file, and we do not even care of having different names in
the associated dentries (dentry names will be same for classes of file*).
This allow code reuse, and will be used by epoll, signalfd and timerfd
(and whatever else there'll be).
