This reverts commit b94b0808. genksyms currently cannot handle complicated types for exported percpu variables. Drop this patch for now as it prevents a module from being loaded on sn2 systems: xpc: no symbol version for per_cpu____sn_cnodeid_to_nasid xpc: Unknown symbol per_cpu____sn_cnodeid_to_nasid Signed-off-by: NTony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

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>

For /proc/kcore, each arch registers its memory range by kclist_add(). In usual, - range of physical memory - range of vmalloc area - text, etc... are registered but "range of physical memory" has some troubles. It doesn't updated at memory hotplug and it tend to include unnecessary memory holes. Now, /proc/iomem (kernel/resource.c) includes required physical memory range information and it's properly updated at memory hotplug. Then, it's good to avoid using its own code(duplicating information) and to rebuild kclist for physical memory based on /proc/iomem.

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.

Add a flag for mmap that will be used to request a huge page region that will look like anonymous memory to user space. This is accomplished by using a file on the internal vfsmount. MAP_HUGETLB is a modifier of MAP_ANONYMOUS and so must be specified with it. The region will behave the same as a MAP_ANONYMOUS region using small pages. The patch also adds the MAP_STACK flag, which was previously defined only on some architectures but not on others. Since MAP_STACK is meant to be a hint only, architectures can define it without assigning a specific meaning to it.

Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL to select a custom installkernel script when running make: make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install With this patch we are now more consistent across different architectures - they did not all support use of CROSS_COMPILE. The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change just because we change toolchain. The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no longer be installable. [Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint] This patch undos what Ian did in commit: 0f8e2d62 ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh") The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes looks obvious.

The problem with wake_idle() is that is doesn't respect things like cpu_power, which means it doesn't deal well with SMT nor the recent RT interaction. To cure this, it needs to do what sched_balance_self() does, which leads to the possibility of merging select_task_rq_fair() and sched_balance_self(). Modify sched_balance_self() to: - update_shares() when walking up the domain tree, (it only called it for the top domain, but it should have done this anyway), which allows us to remove this ugly bit from try_to_wake_up(). - do wake_affine() on the smallest domain that contains both this (the waking) and the prev (the wakee) cpu for WAKE invocations. Then use the top-down balance steps it had to replace wake_idle(). This leads to the dissapearance of SD_WAKE_BALANCE and SD_WAKE_IDLE_FAR, with SD_WAKE_IDLE replaced with SD_BALANCE_WAKE. SD_WAKE_AFFINE needs SD_BALANCE_WAKE to be effective. Touch all topology bits to replace the old with new SD flags -- platforms might need re-tuning, enabling SD_BALANCE_WAKE conditionally on a NUMA distance seems like a good additional feature, magny-core and small nehalem systems would want this enabled, systems with slow interconnects would not.
