Updated variant of a patch by Joel Schopp. The field containing the number of supported cores which we pass to firmware via the ibm,client-architecture call was set by a previous patch statically as high as is possible (NR_CPUS). However, that value isn't quite right for a system that supports multiple threads per core, thus permitting the firmware to assign more cores to a Linux partition than it can really cope with. This patch improves it by using the device-tree to determine the number of threads supported by the processors in order to adjust the value passed to firmware.

This patch adds 2 fields to the ibm_architecture_vec array. The first of these fields indicates the number of cores which Linux can boot. It does not account for SMT, so it may result in cpus assigned to Linux which cannot be booted. A second patch follows that dynamically updates this for SMT. The second field just indicates that our OS is Linux, and not another OS. The system may or may not use this hint to performance tune settings for Linux.

With dynamic irq descriptors the overhead of a large NR_IRQS is much lower than it used to be. With more MSI-X capable adapters and drivers exploiting multiple vectors we may as well allow the user to increase it beyond the current maximum of 512. 32768 seems large enough that we'd never have to bump it again (although I bet my prediction is horribly wrong). It boot tests OK and the vmlinux footprint increase is only around 500kB due to: struct irq_map_entry irq_map[NR_IRQS]; We format /proc/interrupts correctly with the previous changes: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 CPU4 CPU5 286: 0 0 0 0 0 0 516: 0 0 0 0 0 0 16689: 1833 0 0 0 0 0 17157: 0 0 0 0 0 0 17158: 319 0 0 0 0 0 25092: 0 0 0 0 0 0 Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Some code that is in ams_exit() (the module exit code) should instead be called when the device (not module) is removed. It probably doesn't make much of a difference in the PMU case, but in the I2C case it does matter.

Looking at drivers/macintosh/therm_adt746x.c, the sysfs files are created in thermostat_init() and removed in thermostat_exit(), which are the driver's init and exit functions. These files are backed-up by a per-device structure, so it looks like the wrong thing to do: the sysfs files have a lifetime longer than the data structure that is backing it up. I think that sysfs files creation should be moved to the end of probe_thermostat() and sysfs files removal should be moved to the beginning of remove_thermostat().

Recent U-Boot commit 5ccd29c3679b3669b0bde5c501c1aa0f325a7acb caused the "cpu-release-addr" device tree property to contain the physical RAM location that secondary cores were spinning at. Previously, the "cpu-release-addr" property contained a value referencing the boot page translation address range of 0xfffffxxx, which then indirectly accessed RAM. The "cpu-release-addr" is currently ioremapped and the secondary cores kicked. However, due to the recent change in "cpu-release-addr", it sometimes points to a memory location in low memory that cannot be ioremapped. For example on a P2020-based board with 512MB of RAM the following error occurs on bootup: <...> mpic: requesting IPIs ... __ioremap(): phys addr 0x1ffff000 is RAM lr c05df9a0 Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000014 Faulting instruction address: 0xc05df9b0 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] SMP NR_CPUS=2 P2020 RDB Modules linked in: <... eventual kernel panic> Adding logic to conditionally ioremap or access memory directly resolves the issue.

Improve handling of fragmented per-CPU vmaps. We previously don't free up per-CPU maps until all its addresses have been used and freed. So fragmented blocks could fill up vmalloc space even if they actually had no active vmap regions within them. Add some logic to allow all CPUs to have these blocks purged in the case of failure to allocate a new vm area, and also put some logic to trim such blocks of a current CPU if we hit them in the allocation path (so as to avoid a large build up of them). Christoph reported some vmap allocation failures when using the per CPU vmap APIs in XFS, which cannot be reproduced after this patch and the previous bug fix.

RCU list walking of the per-cpu vmap cache was broken. It did not use RCU primitives, and also the union of free_list and rcu_head is obviously wrong (because free_list is indeed the list we are RCU walking). While we are there, remove a couple of unused fields from an earlier iteration. These APIs aren't actually used anywhere, because of problems with the XFS conversion. Christoph has now verified that the problems are solved with these patches. Also it is an exported interface, so I think it will be good to be merged now (and Christoph wants to get the XFS changes into their local tree).

Commit 221af7f8 ("Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions") split the function at the point of no return - ie right where there were no more error cases to check. That made sense from a technical standpoint, but when we then also combined it with the actual personality setting going in between flush_old_exec() and setup_new_exec(), it needs to be a bit more careful. In particular, we need to make sure that we really flush the old personality bits in the 'flush' stage, rather than later in the 'setup' stage, since otherwise we might be flushing the _new_ personality state that we're just setting up. So this moves the flags and personality flushing (and 'flush_thread()', which is the arch-specific function that generally resets lazy FP state etc) of the old process into flush_old_exec(), so that it doesn't affect any state that execve() is setting up for the new process environment. This was reported by Michal Simek as breaking his Microblaze qemu environment.

Few weeks back, Shaohua Li had posted similar patch. I am reposting it with more test results. This patch does two things. - Do not idle on async queues. - It also changes the write queue depth CFQ drives (cfq_may_dispatch()). Currently, we seem to driving queue depth of 1 always for WRITES. This is true even if there is only one write queue in the system and all the logic of infinite queue depth in case of single busy queue as well as slowly increasing queue depth based on last delayed sync request does not seem to be kicking in at all. This patch will allow deeper WRITE queue depths (subjected to the other WRITE queue depth contstraints like cfq_quantum and last delayed sync request). Shaohua Li had reported getting more out of his SSD. For me, I have got one Lun exported from an HP EVA and when pure buffered writes are on, I can get more out of the system. Following are test results of pure buffered writes (with end_fsync=1) with vanilla and patched kernel. These results are average of 3 sets of run with increasing number of threads. AVERAGE[bufwfs][vanilla] ------- job Set NR ReadBW(KB/s) MaxClat(us) WriteBW(KB/s) MaxClat(us) --- --- -- ------------ ----------- ------------- ----------- bufwfs 3 1 0 0 95349 474141 bufwfs 3 2 0 0 100282 806926 bufwfs 3 4 0 0 109989 2.7301e+06 bufwfs 3 8 0 0 116642 3762231 bufwfs 3 16 0 0 118230 6902970 AVERAGE[bufwfs] [patched kernel] ------- bufwfs 3 1 0 0 270722 404352 bufwfs 3 2 0 0 206770 1.06552e+06 bufwfs 3 4 0 0 195277 1.62283e+06 bufwfs 3 8 0 0 260960 2.62979e+06 bufwfs 3 16 0 0 299260 1.70731e+06 I also ran buffered writes along with some sequential reads and some buffered reads going on in the system on a SATA disk because the potential risk could be that we should not be driving queue depth higher in presence of sync IO going to keep the max clat low. With some random and sequential reads going on in the system on one SATA disk I did not see any significant increase in max clat. So it looks like other WRITE queue depth control logic is doing its job. Here are the results.

Therefore for SPI, TEDG must be equal to REDG, otherwise the last byte received is not sampled in SPI mode 3.
