      [PATCH] increase PCIBIOS_MIN_IO on x86 · 71db63ac
      Ivan Kokshaysky 提交于
      There is a number of x86 laptops that have some non-PCI IO ports
      in the 0x1000-0x1fff range, and it's quite hard to control the correct
      order of resource allocation between PCI and other subsystems controlling
      these ports. Especially with modular kernel.
      
      So just increase PCIBIOS_MIN_IO to 0x4000 to prevent any new PCI
      resource allocations in the problematic range (this limitation must
      apply _only_ to the root bus resources - see Linus' change in
      pci_bus_alloc_resource).  As PCIBIOS_MIN_IO and PCIBIOS_MIN_CARDBUS_IO
      are the same now on i386 and x86-64, we can remove the latter.

      x86: use alternative instructions for fnsave/fxsave too · 2847e347
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This one ends up using an inline asm format that claims to read memory
      and then clobber it (rather than just write it directly), which made it
      easier to use the existing "alternative_input()" infrastructure support.
      
      Now the fxsave code matches the fxrstor.

      x86: make restore_fpu() use alternative assembler instructions · 8ed1383f
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      It's really just a single instruction, conditional on whether the CPU
      supports FXSR or not, so implement it as such instead of making it a
      function that queries FXSR dynamically.
      
      This means that the instruction just gets automatically rewritten to the
      correct one at boot-time.

      [PATCH] inotify · 0eeca283
      Robert Love 提交于
      inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
      its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:
      
              * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
                that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
                open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
              * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
                directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
                the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
                stat structures.
              * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful.  Signals?
      
      inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
      notification:
      
              * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
      	  You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
              * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
                you were watching is on was unmounted."
              * inotify can watch directories or files.
      
      Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
      Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.

      [PATCH] PCI: DMA bursting advice · e24c2d96
      David S. Miller 提交于
      After seeing, at best, "guesses" as to the following kind
      of information in several drivers, I decided that we really
      need a way for platforms to specifically give advice in this
      area for what works best with their PCI controller implementation.
      
      Basically, this new interface gives DMA bursting advice on
      PCI.  There are three forms of the advice:
      
      1) Burst as much as possible, it is not necessary to end bursts
         on some particular boundary for best performance.
      
      2) Burst on some byte count multiple.  A DMA burst to some multiple of
         number of bytes may be done, but it is important to end the burst
         on an exact multiple for best performance.
      
         The best example of this I am aware of are the PPC64 PCI
         controllers, where if you end a burst mid-cacheline then
         chip has to refetch the data and the IOMMU translations
         which hurts performance a lot.
      
      3) Burst on a single byte count multiple.  Bursts shall end
         exactly on the next multiple boundary for best performance.
      
         Sparc64 and Alpha's PCI controllers operate this way.  They
         disconnect any device which tries to burst across a cacheline
         boundary.
      
         Actually, newer sparc64 PCI controllers do not have this behavior.
         That is why the "pdev" is passed into the interface, so I can
         add code later to check which PCI controller the system is using
         and give advice accordingly.

      [PATCH] ide: sensible probing for PCI systems · c47abbbf
      Alan Cox 提交于
      Old ISA/VESA systems sometimes put tertiary IDE controllers at addresses
      0x1e8, 0x168, 0x1e0 or 0x160.  Linux thus probes these addresses on x86
      systems.  Unfortunately some PCI systems now use these addresses for other
      purposes which leads to users seeing minute plus hangs during boot or even
      crashes.
      
      The following patch (again has been in Fedora for a while) only probes the
      obscure legacy ISA ports on machinea that are pre-PCI.  This seems to keep
      everyone happy and if there is someone with that utterly weird corner case
      the ide= command line still provides a get out of jail card.
      Unsurprisingly we've not found anyone so affected.

      [PATCH] seccomp: tsc disable · ffaa8bd6
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      I believe at least for seccomp it's worth to turn off the tsc, not just for
      HT but for the L2 cache too.  So it's up to you, either you turn it off
      completely (which isn't very nice IMHO) or I recommend to apply this below
      patch.
      
      This has been tested successfully on x86-64 against current cogito
      repository (i686 compiles so I didn't bother testing ;).  People selling
      the cpu through cpushare may appreciate this bit for a peace of mind.
      
      There's no way to get any timing info anymore with this applied
      (gettimeofday is forbidden of course).  The seccomp environment is
      completely deterministic so it can't be allowed to get timing info, it has
      to be deterministic so in the future I can enable a computing mode that
      does a parallel computing for each task with server side transparent
      checkpointing and verification that the output is the same from all the 2/3
      seller computers for each task, without the buyer even noticing (for now
      the verification is left to the buyer client side and there's no
      checkpointing, since that would require more kernel changes to track the
      dirty bits but it'll be easy to extend once the basic mode is finished).
      
      Eliminating a cold-cache read of the cr4 global variable will save one
      cacheline during the tlb flush while making the code per-cpu-safe at the
      same time.  Thanks to Mikael Pettersson for noticing the tlb flush wasn't
      per-cpu-safe.
      
      The global tlb flush can run from irq (IPI calling do_flush_tlb_all) but
      it'll be transparent to the switch_to code since the IPI won't make any
      change to the cr4 contents from the point of view of the interrupted code
      and since it's now all per-cpu stuff, it will not race.  So no need to
      disable irqs in switch_to slow path.

      [PATCH] Update cfq io scheduler to time sliced design · 22e2c507
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
      v3).  It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
      aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes.  It
      supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set
      directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls.  The latter closely mimic
      set/getpriority.
      
      This import is based on my latest from -mm.
