      Revert "cpumask: use work_on_cpu in acpi-cpufreq.c for drv_read and drv_write" · 50c668d6
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      This reverts commit 7503bfba.
      
      Dieter Ries reported bootup soft-hangs and bisected it back to
      this commit, and reverting this commit gave him a working system.
      
      The commit introduces work_on_cpu() use into the cpufreq code,
      but that is subtly problematic from a lock hierarchy POV: the
      hotplug-cpu lock is an highlevel lock that is taken before
      lowlevel locks, and in this codepath we are called with the
      policy lock taken.
      
      Dieter did not have lockdep enabled so we dont have a nice stack
      trace proof for this, but using work_on_cpu() in such a lowlevel
      place certainly looks wrong, so we revert the patch.
      
      work_on_cpu() needs to be reworked to be more generally usable.

      tracing: add "power-tracer": C/P state tracer to help power optimization · f3f47a67
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      Impact: new "power-tracer" ftrace plugin
      
      This patch adds a C/P-state ftrace plugin that will generate
      detailed statistics about the C/P-states that are being used,
      so that we can look at detailed decisions that the C/P-state
      code is making, rather than the too high level "average"
      that we have today.
      
      An example way of using this is:
      
       mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
       echo cstate > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
       echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
       sleep 1
       echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
       cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace | perl scripts/trace/cstate.pl > out.svg

      cpumask: Replace cpumask_of_cpu with cpumask_of_cpu_ptr · 65c01184
      Mike Travis 提交于
        * This patch replaces the dangerous lvalue version of cpumask_of_cpu
          with new cpumask_of_cpu_ptr macros.  These are patterned after the
          node_to_cpumask_ptr macros.
      
          In general terms, if there is a cpumask_of_cpu_map[] then a pointer to
          the cpumask_of_cpu_map[cpu] entry is used.  The cpumask_of_cpu_map
          is provided when there is a large NR_CPUS count, reducing
          greatly the amount of code generated and stack space used for
          cpumask_of_cpu().  The pointer to the cpumask_t value is needed for
          calling set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to reduce the amount of stack space
          needed to pass the cpumask_t value.
      
          If there isn't a cpumask_of_cpu_map[], then a temporary variable is
          declared and filled in with value from cpumask_of_cpu(cpu) as well as
          a pointer variable pointing to this temporary variable.  Afterwards,
          the pointer is used to reference the cpumask value.  The compiler
          will optimize out the extra dereference through the pointer as well
          as the stack space used for the pointer, resulting in identical code.
      
          A good example of the orthogonal usages is in net/sunrpc/svc.c:
      
      	case SVC_POOL_PERCPU:
      	{
      		unsigned int cpu = m->pool_to[pidx];
      		cpumask_of_cpu_ptr(cpumask, cpu);
      
      		*oldmask = current->cpus_allowed;
      		set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, cpumask);
      		return 1;
      	}
      	case SVC_POOL_PERNODE:
      	{
      		unsigned int node = m->pool_to[pidx];
      		node_to_cpumask_ptr(nodecpumask, node);
      
      		*oldmask = current->cpus_allowed;
      		set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, nodecpumask);
      		return 1;
      	}

      x86: convert cpuinfo_x86 array to a per_cpu array · 92cb7612
      Mike Travis 提交于
      cpu_data is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS.  This means that
      we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpus.
      When NR_CPU count is raised to 4096 the size of cpu_data becomes
      3,145,728 bytes.
      
      These changes were adopted from the sparc64 (and ia64) code.  An
      additional field was added to cpuinfo_x86 to be a non-ambiguous cpu
      index.  This corresponds to the index into a cpumask_t as well as the
      per_cpu index.  It's used in various places like show_cpuinfo().
      
      cpu_data is defined to be the boot_cpu_data structure for the NON-SMP
      case.

      x86: Convert cpu_core_map to be a per cpu variable · 08357611
      Mike Travis 提交于
      This is from an earlier message from 'Christoph Lameter':
      
          cpu_core_map is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that
          we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpu.
      
          If we put the cpu_core_map into the per cpu area then it will be allocated
          for each processor as it comes online.
      
          This means that the core map cannot be accessed until the per cpu area
          has been allocated. Xen does a weird thing here looping over all processors
          and zeroing the masks that are not yet allocated and that will be zeroed
          when they are allocated. I commented the code out.

      drivers/firmware: const-ify DMI API and internals · 1855256c
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      Three main sets of changes:
      
      1) dmi_get_system_info() return value should have been marked const,
         since callers should not be changing that data.
      
      2) const-ify DMI internals, since DMI firmware tables should,
         whenever possible, be marked const to ensure we never ever write to
         that data area.
      
      3) const-ify DMI API, to enable marking tables const where possible
         in low-level drivers.
      
      And if we're really lucky, this might enable some additional
      optimizations on the part of the compiler.
      
      The bulk of the changes are #2 and #3, which are interrelated.  #1 could
      have been a separate patch, but it was so small compared to the others,
      it was easier to roll it into this changeset.
