The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in low level assembly code as scratch registers or to hold per-cpu global infos such as the PACA or the current thread_info pointer. We want to be able to easily shuffle the usage of those registers as some implementations have specific constraints realted to some of them, for example, some have userspace readable aliases, etc.. and the current choice isn't always the best. This patch should not change any code generation, and replaces the usage of SPRN_SPRGn everywhere in the kernel with a named replacement and adds documentation next to the definition of the names as to what those are used for on each processor family. The only parts that still use the original numbers are bits of KVM or suspend/resume code that just blindly needs to save/restore all the SPRGs.

TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE is not used with the new top down mmap layout. We can reuse this preload slot by loading in the segment at 0x10000000, where almost all PowerPC binaries are linked at. On a microbenchmark that bounces a token between two 64bit processes over pipes and calls gettimeofday each iteration (to access the VDSO), both the 32bit and 64bit context switch rate improves (tested on a 4GHz POWER6): 32bit: 273k/sec -> 283k/sec 64bit: 277k/sec -> 284k/sec Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

With the new top down layout it is likely that the pc and stack will be in the same segment, because the pc is most likely in a library allocated via a top down mmap. Right now we bail out early if these segments match. Rearrange the SLB preload code to sanity check all SLB preload addresses are not in the kernel, then check all addresses for conflicts.

On 64bit applications the VDSO is the only thing in segment 0. Since the VDSO is position independent we can remove the hint and let get_unmapped_area pick an area. This will mean the vdso will be near other mmaps and will share an SLB entry: 10000000-10001000 r-xp 00000000 08:06 5778459 /root/context_switch_64 10010000-10011000 r--p 00000000 08:06 5778459 /root/context_switch_64 10011000-10012000 rw-p 00001000 08:06 5778459 /root/context_switch_64 fffa92ae000-fffa92b0000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 fffa92b0000-fffa9453000 r-xp 00000000 08:06 4334051 /lib64/power6/libc-2.9.so fffa9453000-fffa9462000 ---p 001a3000 08:06 4334051 /lib64/power6/libc-2.9.so fffa9462000-fffa9466000 r--p 001a2000 08:06 4334051 /lib64/power6/libc-2.9.so fffa9466000-fffa947c000 rw-p 001a6000 08:06 4334051 /lib64/power6/libc-2.9.so fffa947c000-fffa9480000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 fffa9480000-fffa94a8000 r-xp 00000000 08:06 4333852 /lib64/ld-2.9.so fffa94b3000-fffa94b4000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 fffa94b4000-fffa94b7000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] <----- here I am fffa94b7000-fffa94b8000 r--p 00027000 08:06 4333852 /lib64/ld-2.9.so fffa94b8000-fffa94bb000 rw-p 00028000 08:06 4333852 /lib64/ld-2.9.so fffa94bb000-fffa94bc000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 fffe4c10000-fffe4c25000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] On a microbenchmark that bounces a token between two 64bit processes over pipes and calls gettimeofday each iteration (to access the VDSO), our context switch rate goes from 268k to 277k ctx switches/sec (tested on a 4GHz POWER6).

The bitops.h functions that operate on a single bit in a bitfield are implemented by operating on the corresponding word location. In all cases the inner logic is valid if the mask being applied has more than one bit set, so this patch exposes those inner operations. Indeed, set_bits() was already available, but it duplicated code from set_bit() (rather than making the latter a wrapper) - it was also missing the PPC405_ERR77() workaround and the "volatile" address qualifier present in other APIs. This corrects that, and exposes the other multi-bit equivalents. One advantage of these multi-bit forms is that they allow word-sized variables to essentially be their own spinlocks, eg. very useful for state machines where an atomic "flags" variable can obviate the need for any additional locking.

The workaround enabled by CONFIG_MPIC_BROKEN_REGREAD does not work on non-broken MPICs. The symptom is no interrupts being received. The fix is twofold. Firstly the code was broken for multiple isus, we need to index into the shadow array with the src_no, not the idx. Secondly, we always do the read, but only use the VECPRI_MASK and VECPRI_ACTIVITY bits from the hardware, the rest of "val" comes from the shadow.

If node_load[] is cleared everytime build_zonelists() is called,node_load[] will have no help to find the next node that should appear in the given node's fallback list. Because of the bug, zonelist's node_order is not calculated as expected. This bug affects on big machine, which has asynmetric node distance. [synmetric NUMA's node distance] 0 1 2 0 10 12 12 1 12 10 12 2 12 12 10 [asynmetric NUMA's node distance] 0 1 2 0 10 12 20 1 12 10 14 2 20 14 10 This (my bug) is very old but no one has reported this for a long time. Maybe because the number of asynmetric NUMA is very small and they use cpuset for customizing node memory allocation fallback.

The commit 2ff05b2b (oom: move oom_adj value) moveed the oom_adj value to the mm_struct. It was a very good first step for sanitize OOM. However Paul Menage reported the commit makes regression to his job scheduler. Current OOM logic can kill OOM_DISABLED process. Why? His program has the code of similar to the following. ... set_oom_adj(OOM_DISABLE); /* The job scheduler never killed by oom */ ... if (vfork() == 0) { set_oom_adj(0); /* Invoked child can be killed */ execve("foo-bar-cmd"); } .... vfork() parent and child are shared the same mm_struct. then above set_oom_adj(0) doesn't only change oom_adj for vfork() child, it's also change oom_adj for vfork() parent. Then, vfork() parent (job scheduler) lost OOM immune and it was killed. Actually, fork-setting-exec idiom is very frequently used in userland program. We must not break this assumption. Then, this patch revert commit 2ff05b2b and related commit.

The inotify_add_watch man page specifies that inotify_add_watch() will return a non-negative integer. However, historically the inotify watches started at 1, not at 0. Turns out that the inotifywait program provided by the inotify-tools package doesn't properly handle a 0 watch descriptor. In 7e790dd5 we changed from starting at 1 to starting at 0. This patch starts at 1, just like in previous kernels, but also just like in previous kernels it's possible for it to wrap back to 0. This preserves the kernel functionality exactly like it was before the patch (neither method broke the spec) Signed-off-by: NEric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The problem is caused by this detail in my config: # CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL is not set This disables the quirks in mce_cpu_quirks() but still enables MCE support - which then hangs due to the missing quirk workaround needed on this CPU: if (c->x86 == 6 && c->x86_model < 0x1A && banks > 0) mce_banks[0].init = 0; The safe solution is to not initialize MCEs if we dont know on what CPU we are running (or if that CPU's support code got disabled in the config). Also be a bit more defensive on 32-bit systems: dont do a boot-time dump of pending MCEs not just on the specific system that we found a problem with (Pentium-M), but earlier ones as well. Now this problem is probably not common and disabling CPU support is rare - but still being more defensive in something we turned on for a wide range of CPUs is prudent.

On my legacy Pentium M laptop (Acer Extensa 2900) I get bogus MCE on a cold boot with CONFIG_X86_NEW_MCE enabled, i.e. (after decoding it with mcelog): MCE 0 HARDWARE ERROR. This is *NOT* a software problem! Please contact your hardware vendor CPU 0 BANK 1 MCG status: MCi status: Error overflow Uncorrected error Error enabled Processor context corrupt MCA: Data CACHE Level-1 UNKNOWN Error STATUS f200000000000195 MCGSTATUS 0 [ The other STATUS values observed: f2000000000001b5 (... UNKNOWN error) and f200000000000115 (... READ Error). To verify that this is not a CONFIG_X86_NEW_MCE bug I also modified the CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE code (which doesn't log any MCEs) to dump content of STATUS MSR before it is cleared during initialization. ] Since the bogus MCE results in a kernel taint (which in turn disables lockdep support) don't log boot MCEs on Pentium M (model == 13) CPUs by default ("mce=bootlog" boot parameter can be be used to get the old behavior).
