The elf note saving code is currently duplicated over several architectures. This cleanup patch simply adds code to a common file and then replaces the arch-specific code with calls to the newly added code. The only drawback with this approach is that s390 doesn't fully support kexec-on-panic which for that arch leads to introduction of unused code.

There was lots of #ifdef noise in the kernel due to hotcpu_notifier(fn, prio) not correctly marking 'fn' as used in the !HOTPLUG_CPU case, and thus generating compiler warnings of unused symbols, hence forcing people to add #ifdefs. the compiler can skip truly unused functions just fine: text data bss dec hex filename 1624412 728710 3674856 6027978 5bfaca vmlinux.before 1624412 728710 3674856 6027978 5bfaca vmlinux.after [akpm@osdl.org: topology.c fix] Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

由 Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
When we are unregistering a kprobe-booster, we can't release its instruction buffer immediately on the preemptive kernel, because some processes might be preempted on the buffer. The freeze_processes() and thaw_processes() functions can clean most of processes up from the buffer. There are still some non-frozen threads who have the PF_NOFREEZE flag. If those threads are sleeping (not preempted) at the known place outside the buffer, we can ensure safety of freeing. However, the processing of this check routine takes a long time. So, this patch introduces the garbage collection mechanism of insn_slot. It also introduces the "dirty" flag to free_insn_slot because of efficiency. The "clean" instruction slots (dirty flag is cleared) are released immediately. But the "dirty" slots which are used by boosted kprobes, are marked as garbages. collect_garbage_slots() will be invoked to release "dirty" slots if there are more than INSNS_PER_PAGE garbage slots or if there are no unused slots.

The patch (as824b) makes percpu_free() ignore NULL arguments, as one would expect for a deallocation routine. (Note that free_percpu is #defined as percpu_free in include/linux/percpu.h.) A few callers are updated to remove now-unneeded tests for NULL. A few other callers already seem to assume that passing a NULL pointer to percpu_free() is okay! The patch also removes an unnecessary NULL check in percpu_depopulate().

Introduce pagefault_{disable,enable}() and use these where previously we did manual preempt increments/decrements to make the pagefault handler do the atomic thing. Currently they still rely on the increased preempt count, but do not rely on the disabled preemption, this might go away in the future.

由 Chen, Kenneth W 提交于
Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken. This set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only. The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of independent processes sharing large shared memory segments. In the normal page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite significant. For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss. With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application gets much higher cache hit ratio. One other effect is that cache hit ratio with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this helps to reduce tlb miss latency. These two effects contribute to higher application performance.

Move the irqbalance quirks for E7320/E7520/E7525(Errata 23 in http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/30304203.pdf) to early quirks. And add a PCI quirk for these platforms to check(which happens very late during the boot) if the APIC routing is indeed set to default flat mode. This fixes the breakage(in x86_64) of this quirk due to cpu hotplug which selects physical mode instead of the logical flat(as needed for this errata workaround).

Mechanism of selecting physical mode in genapic when cpu hotplug is enabled on x86_64, broke the quirk(quirk_intel_irqbalance()) introduced for working around the transposing interrupt message errata in E7520/E7320/E7525 (revision ID 0x9 and below. errata #23 in http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/30304203.pdf). This errata requires the mode to be in logical flat, so that interrupts can be directed to more than one cpu(and thus use hardware IRQ balancing enabled by BIOS on these platforms). Following four patches fixes this by moving the quirk to early quirk and forcing the x86_64 genapic selection to logical flat on these platforms. Thanks to Shaohua for pointing out the breakage.
