This has been broken since May 2008 when Al Viro killed altroot support. Since nobody has complained, it would appear that there are no users of this code (A plausible theory since the main OSVs that support ia64 prefer to use the IA32-EL software emulation).

Unlike other archs, ia64 reserves space for percpu areas during early memory initialization. These areas occupy a contiguous region indexed by cpu number on contiguous memory model or are grouped by node on discontiguous memory model. As allocation and initialization are done by the arch code, all that setup_per_cpu_areas() needs to do is communicating the determined layout to the percpu allocator. This patch implements setup_per_cpu_areas() for both contig and discontig memory models and drops HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA. Please note that for contig model, the allocation itself is modified only to allocate for possible cpus instead of NR_CPUS. As dynamic percpu allocator can handle non-direct mapping, there's no reason to allocate memory for cpus which aren't possible.

Back in January 2008 Nick Piggin implemented "ticket" spinlocks for X86 (See commit 314cdbef). IA64 implementation has a couple of differences because of the available atomic operations ... e.g. we have no fetchadd2 instruction that operates on a 16-bit quantity so we make ticket locks use a 32-bit word for each of the current ticket and now-serving values. Performance on uncontended locks is about 8% worse than the previous implementation, but this seems a good trade for determinism in the contended case. Performance impact on macro-level benchmarks is in the noise. Signed-off-by: NTony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Some 64bit arch has special segment for mapping kernel text. It should be entried to /proc/kcore in addtion to direct-linear-map, vmalloc area. This patch unifies KCORE_TEXT entry scattered under x86 and ia64. I'm not familiar with other archs (mips has its own even after this patch) but range of [_stext ..._end) is a valid area of text and it's not in direct-map area, defining CONFIG_ARCH_PROC_KCORE_TEXT is only a necessary thing to do.

This patch makes most !CONFIG_HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA archs use dynamic percpu allocator. The first chunk is allocated using embedding helper and 8k is reserved for modules. This ensures that the new allocator behaves almost identically to the original allocator as long as static percpu variables are concerned, so it shouldn't introduce much breakage. s390 and alpha use custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() to work around addressing range limit the addressing model imposes. Unfortunately, this breaks if the address is specified using a variable, so for now, the two archs aren't converted. The following architectures are affected by this change. * sh * arm * cris * mips * sparc(32) * blackfin * avr32 * parisc (broken, under investigation) * m32r * powerpc(32) As this change makes the dynamic allocator the default one, CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is replaced with its invert - CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA, which is added to yet-to-be converted archs. These archs implement their own setup_per_cpu_areas() and the conversion is not trivial. * powerpc(64) * sparc(64) * ia64 * alpha * s390 Boot and batch alloc/free tests on x86_32 with debug code (x86_32 doesn't use default first chunk initialization). Compile tested on sparc(32), powerpc(32), arm and alpha. Kyle McMartin reported that this change breaks parisc. The problem is still under investigation and he is okay with pushing this patch forward and fixing parisc later.

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.

由 Matt Helsley 提交于
This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups framework. It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem. The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named freezer.state. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in the cgroup. Reading will return the current state. * Examples of usage : # mkdir /containers/freezer # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers # mkdir /containers/0 # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks to get status of the freezer subsystem : # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING to freeze all tasks in the container : # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FREEZING # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FROZEN to unfreeze all tasks in the container : # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space task in a simple scenario. It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete. In that case we return EBUSY. This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this time. After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read. The state will remain "FREEZING" until one of these things happens: 1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to the freezer.state file 2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal and returns EIO) 3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN" state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

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.

Linus: On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32 really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation. It would be much better to do depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just have a bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES default y in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical, and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support which interface... Changelog: Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see it, I realize that I should have told you to just use config KPROBES_SUPPORT def_bool y instead, which is a bit denser. We seem to use both kinds of syntax for these things, but this is really what "def_bool" is there for... - Use HAVE_KPROBES - Use a select - Yet another update : Moving to HAVE_* now. - Update ARM for kprobes support.
