      sched: re-tune balancing · 9fcd18c9

      Impact: improve wakeup affinity on NUMA systems, tweak SMP systems
      
      Given the fixes+tweaks to the wakeup-buddy code, re-tweak the domain
      balancing defaults on NUMA and SMP systems.
      
      Turn on SD_WAKE_AFFINE which was off on x86 NUMA - there's no reason
      why we would not want to have wakeup affinity across nodes as well.
      (we already do this in the standard NUMA template.)
      
      lat_ctx on a NUMA box is particularly happy about this change:
      
      before:
      
       |   phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
       |   "size=0k ovr=2.60
       |   2 5.70
      
      after:
      
       |   phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
       |   "size=0k ovr=2.65
       |   2 2.07
      
      a 2.75x speedup.
      
      pipe-test is similarly happy about it too:
      
       |  phoenix:~/sched-tests> ./pipe-test
       |   18.26 usecs/loop.
       |   14.70 usecs/loop.
       |   14.38 usecs/loop.
       |   10.55 usecs/loop.              # +WAKE_AFFINE on domain0+domain1
       |   8.63 usecs/loop.
       |   8.59 usecs/loop.
       |   9.03 usecs/loop.
       |   8.94 usecs/loop.
       |   8.96 usecs/loop.
       |   8.63 usecs/loop.
      
      Also:
      
       - disable SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE on NUMA and SMP domains (keep it for siblings)
       - enable SD_WAKE_BALANCE on SMP domains
      
      Sysbench+postgresql improves all around the board, quite significantly:

        256:            7519             7884    +4.62%
        512:            7350             7731    +4.93%
      -------------------------------------------------
        SUM:           55412            59341    +6.62%
      
      So it's a win both for the runup portion, the peak area and the tail.

      sparc64: Fix PCI resource mapping on sparc64 · 5769907a
      Max Dmitrichenko 提交于
      There is a problem discovered in recent versions of ATI Mach64 driver
      in X.org on sparc64 architecture. In short, the driver fails to mmap
      MMIO aperture (PCI resource #2).
      
      I've found that kernel's __pci_mmap_make_offset() returns EINVAL. It
      checks whether user attempts to mmap more than the resource length,
      which is 0x1000 bytes in our case. But PAGE_SIZE on SPARC64 is 0x2000
      and this is what actually is being mmaped. So __pci_mmap_make_offset()
      failed for this PCI resource.

      sparc64: Kill annoying warning when building compat_binfmt_elf.o · a1995a65
      David S. Miller 提交于
      GCC warns because some tests against 32-bit values never evaluate to
      true due to how TASK_SIZE is defined.
      
      I always wanted to mimick powerpc's definition of TASK_SIZE, which
      is simply TASK_SIZE_OF(current) and that also fixes the warning.

      x86: Clean up late e820 resource allocation · 1f987577
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This makes the late e820 resources use 'insert_resource_expand_to_fit()'
      instead of doing a 'reserve_region_with_split()', and also avoids
      marking them as IORESOURCE_BUSY.
      
      This results in us being perfectly happy to use pre-existing PCI
      resources even if they were marked as being in a reserved region, while
      still avoiding any _new_ allocations in the reserved regions.  It also
      makes for a simpler and more accurate resource tree.
      
      Example resource allocation from Jonathan Corbet, who has firmware that
      has an e820 reserved entry that covered a big range (e0000000-fed003ff),
      and that had various PCI resources in it set up by firmware.
      
      With old kernels, the reserved range would force us to re-allocate all
      pre-existing PCI resources, and his reserved range would end up looking
      like this:
      
      	e0000000-fed003ff : reserved
      	  fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0
      	  fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0
      
      where only the pre-allocated special regions (IOAPIC and HPET) were kept
      around.
      
      With 2.6.28-rc2, which uses 'reserve_region_with_split()', Jonathan's
      resource tree looked like this:
      
      	e0000000-fe7fffff : reserved
      	fe800000-fe8fffff : PCI Bus 0000:01
      	 fe800000-fe8fffff : reserved
      	fe900000-fe9d9aff : reserved
      	fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : 0000:00:1f.3
      	 fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : reserved
      	fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : 0000:00:1a.7
      	 fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : reserved
      	fe9da000-fe9dafff : 0000:00:03.3
      	 fe9da000-fe9dafff : reserved
      	fe9db000-fe9dbfff : 0000:00:19.0
      	 fe9db000-fe9dbfff : reserved
      	fe9dc000-fe9dffff : 0000:00:1b.0
      	 fe9dc000-fe9dffff : reserved
      	fe9e0000-fe9fffff : 0000:00:19.0
      	 fe9e0000-fe9fffff : reserved
      	fea00000-fea7ffff : 0000:00:02.0
      	 fea00000-fea7ffff : reserved
      	fea80000-feafffff : 0000:00:02.1
      	 fea80000-feafffff : reserved
      	feb00000-febfffff : 0000:00:02.0
      	 feb00000-febfffff : reserved
      	fec00000-fed003ff : reserved
      	 fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0
      	 fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0
      
      and because the reserved entry had been split and moved into the
      individual resources, and because it used the IORESOURCE_BUSY flag, the
      drivers that actually wanted to _use_ those resources couldn't actually
      attach to them:
      
      	e1000e 0000:00:19.0: BAR 0: can't reserve mem region [0xfe9e0000-0xfe9fffff]
      	HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: BAR 0: can't reserve mem region [0xfe9dc000-0xfe9dffff]
      
      with this patch, the resource tree instead becomes
      
      	e0000000-fed003ff : reserved
      	  fe800000-fe8fffff : PCI Bus 0000:01
      	  fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : 0000:00:1f.3
      	  fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : 0000:00:1a.7
      	    fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : ehci_hcd
      	  fe9da000-fe9dafff : 0000:00:03.3
      	  fe9db000-fe9dbfff : 0000:00:19.0
      	    fe9db000-fe9dbfff : e1000e
      	  fe9dc000-fe9dffff : 0000:00:1b.0
      	    fe9dc000-fe9dffff : ICH HD audio
      	  fe9e0000-fe9fffff : 0000:00:19.0
      	    fe9e0000-fe9fffff : e1000e
      	  fea00000-fea7ffff : 0000:00:02.0
      	  fea80000-feafffff : 0000:00:02.1
      	  feb00000-febfffff : 0000:00:02.0
      	  fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0
      	  fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0
      
      ie the one reserved region now ends up surrounding all the PCI resources
      that were allocated inside of it by firmware, and because it is not
      marked BUSY, drivers have no problem attaching to the pre-allocated
      resources.

      saner FASYNC handling on file close · 233e70f4
      Al Viro 提交于
      As it is, all instances of ->release() for files that have ->fasync()
      need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that
      creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget.
      
      So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
      file->f_flags and call ->fasync() there if it's been set.  And lose that
      crap in ->release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
      don't have to bother anymore.
