      [PATCH] move rtc_interrupt() prototype to rtc.h · 2a10e0b2
      Adrian Bunk 提交于
      This patch moves the rtc_interrupt() prototype to rtc.h and removes the
      prototypes from C files.
      
      It also renames static rtc_interrupt() functions in
      arch/arm/mach-integrator/time.c and arch/sh64/kernel/time.c to avoid compile
      problems.

      [PATCH] Change maxaligned_in_smp alignemnt macros to internodealigned_in_smp macros · 22fc6ecc
      Ravikiran G Thirumalai 提交于
      ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp is currently used to align critical structures
      and avoid false sharing.  It uses per-arch L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX and people find
      L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX useless.
      
      However, we have been using ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp to align
      structures on the internode cacheline size.  As per Andi's suggestion,
      following patch kills ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp and introduces
      INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT, which defaults to L1_CACHE_SHIFT for all arches.
      Arches needing L3/Internode cacheline alignment can define
      INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT in the arch asm/cache.h.  Patch replaces
      ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp with ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp
      
      With this patch, L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX can be killed

      [PATCH] Swap Migration V5: sys_migrate_pages interface · 39743889
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      sys_migrate_pages implementation using swap based page migration
      
      This is the original API proposed by Ray Bryant in his posts during the first
      half of 2005 on linux-mm@kvack.org and linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org.
      
      The intent of sys_migrate is to migrate memory of a process.  A process may
      have migrated to another node.  Memory was allocated optimally for the prior
      context.  sys_migrate_pages allows to shift the memory to the new node.
      
      sys_migrate_pages is also useful if the processes available memory nodes have
      changed through cpuset operations to manually move the processes memory.  Paul
      Jackson is working on an automated mechanism that will allow an automatic
      migration if the cpuset of a process is changed.  However, a user may decide
      to manually control the migration.
      
      This implementation is put into the policy layer since it uses concepts and
      functions that are also needed for mbind and friends.  The patch also provides
      a do_migrate_pages function that may be useful for cpusets to automatically
      move memory.  sys_migrate_pages does not modify policies in contrast to Ray's
      implementation.
      
      The current code here is based on the swap based page migration capability and
      thus is not able to preserve the physical layout relative to it containing
      nodeset (which may be a cpuset).  When direct page migration becomes available
      then the implementation needs to be changed to do a isomorphic move of pages
      between different nodesets.  The current implementation simply evicts all
      pages in source nodeset that are not in the target nodeset.
      
      Patch supports ia64, i386 and x86_64.

      [CPUFREQ] CPU frequency display in /proc/cpuinfo · 95235ca2
      Venkatesh Pallipadi 提交于
      What is the value shown in "cpu MHz" of /proc/cpuinfo when CPUs are capable of
      changing frequency?
      
      Today the answer is: It depends.
      On i386:
      SMP kernel - It is always the boot frequency
      UP kernel - Scales with the frequency change and shows that was last set.
      
      On x86_64:
      There is one single variable cpu_khz that gets written by all the CPUs. So,
      the frequency set by last CPU will be seen on /proc/cpuinfo of all the
      CPUs in the system. What you see also depends on whether you have constant_tsc
      capable CPU or not.
      
      On ia64:
      It is always boot time frequency of a particular CPU that gets displayed.
      
      The patch below changes this to:
      Show the last known frequency of the particular CPU, when cpufreq is present. If
      cpu doesnot support changing of frequency through cpufreq, then boot frequency
      will be shown. The patch affects i386, x86_64 and ia64 architectures.

      [PATCH] kprobes: Fix return probes on sys_execve · 8bf1101b
      Jim Keniston 提交于
      Fix a bug in kprobes that can cause an Oops or even a crash when a return
      probe is installed on one of the following functions: sys_execve,
      do_execve, load_*_binary, flush_old_exec, or flush_thread.  The fix is to
      remove the call to kprobe_flush_task() in flush_thread().  This fix has
      been tested on all architectures for which the return-probes feature has
      been implemented (i386, x86_64, ppc64, ia64).  Please apply.
      
      BACKGROUND
      
      Up to now, we have called kprobe_flush_task() under two situations: when a
      task exits, and when it execs.  Flushing kretprobe_instances on exit is
      correct because (a) do_exit() doesn't return, and (b) one or more
      return-probed functions may be active when a task calls do_exit().  Neither
      is the case for sys_execve() and its callees.
      
      Initially, the mistaken call to kprobe_flush_task() on exec was harmless
      because we put the "real" return address of each active probed function
      back in the stack, just to be safe, when we recycled its
      kretprobe_instance.  When support for ppc64 and ia64 was added, this safety
      measure couldn't be employed, and was eventually dropped even for i386 and
      x86_64.  sys_execve() and its callees were informally blacklisted for
      return probes until this fix was developed.
