      [PATCH] Mobil Pentium 4 HT and the NMI · cd3716ab
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      I'm trying to get the nmi working with my laptop (IBM ThinkPad G41) and after
debugging it a while, I found that the nmi code doesn't want to set it up for
this particular CPU.

Here I have:

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

And the following code shows:

$ cat linux-2.6.13-rc6/arch/i386/kernel/nmi.c

[...]

void setup_apic_nmi_watchdog (void)
{
        switch (boot_cpu_data.x86_vendor) {
        case X86_VENDOR_AMD:
                if (boot_cpu_data.x86 != 6 && boot_cpu_data.x86 != 15)
                        return;
                setup_k7_watchdog();
                break;
        case X86_VENDOR_INTEL:
                 switch (boot_cpu_data.x86) {
                case 6:
                        if (boot_cpu_data.x86_model > 0xd)
                                return;

                        setup_p6_watchdog();
                        break;
                case 15:
                        if (boot_cpu_data.x86_model > 0x3)
                                return;

Here I get boot_cpu_data.x86_model == 0x4.  So I decided to change it and
reboot.  I now seem to have a working NMI.  So, unless there's something know
to be bad about this processor and the NMI.  I'm submitting the following
patch.

      [PATCH] disable addres space randomization default on transmeta CPUs · cdf32eaa
      由 Eric Lammerts 提交于 
      We know that the randomisation slows down some workloads on Transmeta CPUs
by quite large amounts.  We think it's because the CPU needs to recode the
same x86 instructions when they pop up at a different virtual address after
a fork+exec.

So disable randomization by default on those CPUs.

      [PATCH] remove sys_set_zone_reclaim() · 6cb54819
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      This removes sys_set_zone_reclaim() for now.  While i'm sure Martin is
trying to solve a real problem, we must not hard-code an incomplete and
insufficient approach into a syscall, because syscalls are pretty much
for eternity.  I am quite strongly convinced that this syscall must not
hit v2.6.13 in its current form.

Firstly, the syscall lacks basic syscall design: e.g. it allows the
global setting of VM policy for unprivileged users. (!) [ Imagine an
Oracle installation and a SAP installation on the same NUMA box fighting
over the 'optimal' setting for this flag. What will they do? Will they
try to set the flag to their own preferred value every second or so? ]

Secondly, it was added based on a single datapoint from Martin:

 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=111763597218177&w=2

where Martin characterizes the numbers the following way:

 ' Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so these numbers aren't
   terribly useful except to see that with reclaim the benchmark still
   finishes in a reasonable amount of time. '

in other words: the fundamental problem has likely not been solved, only
a tendential move into the right direction has been observed, and a
handful of numbers were picked out of a set of hugely variable results,
without showing the variability data. How much variance is there
run-to-run?

I'd really suggest to first walk the walk and see what's needed to get
stable & predictable kernel compilation numbers on that NUMA box, before
adding random syscalls to tune a particular aspect of the VM ... which
approach might not even matter once the whole picture has been analyzed
and understood!

The third, most important point is that the syscall exposes VM tuning
internals in a completely unstructured way. What sense does it make to
have a _GLOBAL_ per-node setting for 'should we go to another node for
reclaim'? If then it might make sense to do this per-app, via numalib or
so.

The change is minimalistic in that it doesnt remove the syscall and the
underlying infrastructure changes, only the user-visible changes.  We
could perhaps add a CAP_SYS_ADMIN-only sysctl for this hack, a'ka
/proc/sys/vm/swappiness, but even that looks quite counterproductive
when the generic approach is that we are trying to reduce the number of
external factors in the VM balance picture.

      Remove "noreplacement" kernel command line option. · 72538d85
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      It is no longer valid to not replace instructions, since we depend on
different behaviour depending on CPU capabilities.

If you need to limit the capabilities of the replacements (because the
boot CPU has features that non-boot CPU's do not have, for example), you
need to explicitly disable those capabilities that are not shared across
all CPU's.

For example, if your boot CPU has FXSR, but other CPU's in your system
do not, you need to use the "nofxsr" kernel command line, not disable
instruction replacement per se.

      x86: make restore_fpu() use alternative assembler instructions · 8ed1383f
      由 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.

      Fix up incorrect "unlikely()" on %gs reload in x86 __switch_to · b339a18b
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      These days %gs is normally the TLS segment, so it's no longer zero.  As
a result, we shouldn't just assume that %fs/%gs tend to be zero
together, but test them independently instead.

Also, fix setting of debug registers to use the "next" pointer instead
of "current".  It so happens that the scheduler will have set the new
current pointer before calling __switch_to(), but that's just an
implementation detail.

      [PATCH] inotify · 0eeca283
      由 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: clean up dynamic pci id logic · 75865858
      由 Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于 
      The dynamic pci id logic has been bothering me for a while, and now that
I started to look into how to move some of this to the driver core, I
thought it was time to clean it all up.

It ends up making the code smaller, and easier to follow, and fixes a
few bugs at the same time (dynamic ids were not being matched
everywhere, and so could be missed on some call paths for new devices,
semaphore not needed to be grabbed when adding a new id and calling the
driver core, etc.)

I also renamed the function pci_match_device() to pci_match_id() as
that's what it really does.

      This patch is the first step in properly handling the MCFG PCI table.
It defines the structures properly, and saves off the table so that the
pci mmconfig code can access it.  It moves the parsing of the table a
little later in the boot process, but still before the information is
needed.

      [PATCH] ACPI based I/O APIC hot-plug: add interfaces · b1bb248a
      由 Kenji Kaneshige 提交于 
      This patch adds the following new interfaces for I/O xAPIC
hotplug. The implementation of these interfaces depends on each
architecture.

    o int acpi_register_ioapic(acpi_handle handle, u64 phys_addr,
			       u32 gsi_base);

        This new interface is to add a new I/O xAPIC specified by
        phys_addr and gsi_base pair. phys_addr is the physical address
        to which the I/O xAPIC is mapped and gsi_base is global system
        interrupt base of the I/O xAPIC. acpi_register_ioapic returns
        0 on success, or negative value on error.

    o int acpi_unregister_ioapic(acpi_handle handle, u32 gsi_base);

        This new interface is to remove a I/O xAPIC specified by
        gsi_base. acpi_unregister_ioapic returns 0 on success, or
        negative value on error.
