      [IA64] rework memory attribute aliasing · 32e62c63
      Bjorn Helgaas 提交于
      This closes a couple holes in our attribute aliasing avoidance scheme:
      
        - The current kernel fails mmaps of some /dev/mem MMIO regions because
          they don't appear in the EFI memory map.  This keeps X from working
          on the Intel Tiger box.
      
        - The current kernel allows UC mmap of the 0-1MB region of
          /sys/.../legacy_mem even when the chipset doesn't support UC
          access.  This causes an MCA when starting X on HP rx7620 and rx8620
          boxes in the default configuration.
      
      There's more detail in the Documentation/ia64/aliasing.txt file this
      adds, but the general idea is that if a region might be covered by
      a granule-sized kernel identity mapping, any access via /dev/mem or
      mmap must use the same attribute as the identity mapping.
      
      Otherwise, we fall back to using an attribute that is supported
      according to the EFI memory map, or to using UC if the EFI memory
      map doesn't mention the region.

      [PATCH] Add support for the sys_vmsplice syscall · 912d35f8
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      sys_splice() moves data to/from pipes with a file input/output. sys_vmsplice()
      moves data to a pipe, with the input being a user address range instead.
      
      This uses an approach suggested by Linus, where we can hold partial ranges
      inside the pages[] map. Hopefully this will be useful for network
      receive support as well.

      [IA64] Setup an IA64 specific reclaim distance · e5ecc192
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      RECLAIM_DISTANCE is checked on bootup against the SLIT table distances.
      Zone reclaim is important for system that have higher latencies but not for
      systems that have multiple nodes on one motherboard and therefore low latencies.
      
      We found that on motherboard latencies are typically 1 to 1.4 of local memory
      access speed whereas multinode systems which benefit from zone reclaim have
      usually more than 1.5 times the latency of a local access.
      
      Set the reclaim distance for IA64 to 1.5 times.

      [PATCH] splice: add support for sys_tee() · 70524490
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Basically an in-kernel implementation of tee, which uses splice and the
      pipe buffers as an intelligent way to pass data around by reference.
      
      Where the user space tee consumes the input and produces a stdout and
      file output, this syscall merely duplicates the data inside a pipe to
      another pipe. No data is copied, the output just grabs a reference to the
      input pipe data.

      [PATCH] Configurable NODES_SHIFT · c80d79d7
      Yasunori Goto 提交于
      Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for
      each arch.  Its definition is sometimes configurable.  Indeed, ia64 defines 5
      NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree.  But it looks a bit messy.
      
      SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has
      been changeable by config.  Suitable node's number may be changed in the
      future even if it is other architecture.  So, I wrote configurable node's
      number.
      
      This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi
      nodes except ia64.  But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary.
      
      On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2
      config.  But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too.  So, I
      changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT.  It
      would be simpler.

      [PATCH] Introduce sys_splice() system call · 5274f052
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a
      transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only).
      
      From the splice.c comments:
      
         "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands.
      
         This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as
         an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel
         buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other.
      
         The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation
         that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer.
      
         Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by
         Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation

      [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes · e041c683
      Alan Stern 提交于
      The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
      protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
      chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:
      
          http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
      
      We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
      classes:
      
      	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
      	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
      
      	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
      	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
      
      We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
      this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
      notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
      really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
      used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
      registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
      explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
      kernel/sys.c.
      
      With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
      links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
      entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
      guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
      idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
      blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
      handle these things in their own way.)
      
      There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
      atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
      a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
      callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
      entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
      had to be changed to avoid it.)
      
      Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
      spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
      entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
      less frequent that calling a chain.
      
      Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
      of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
      
        ATOMIC CHAINS
        -------------

      net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain
      
        BLOCKING CHAINS
        ---------------
      arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
      arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
      arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
      drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
      drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
      drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list

      drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list

      drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
      drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list

      kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
      net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
      net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
      net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain
      
      It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
      please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
      gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
      used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
      (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
      atomic.)
      
      The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
      material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
      Morton.

      [PATCH] POLLRDHUP/EPOLLRDHUP handling for half-closed devices notifications · f348d70a
      Davide Libenzi 提交于
      Implement the half-closed devices notifiation, by adding a new POLLRDHUP
      (and its alias EPOLLRDHUP) bit to the existing poll/select sets.  Since the
      existing POLLHUP handling, that does not report correctly half-closed
      devices, was feared to be changed, this implementation leaves the current
      POLLHUP reporting unchanged and simply add a new bit that is set in the few
      places where it makes sense.  The same thing was discussed and conceptually
      agreed quite some time ago:
      
      http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/12/116
      
      Since this new event bit is added to the existing Linux poll infrastruture,
      even the existing poll/select system calls will be able to use it.  As far
      as the existing POLLHUP handling, the patch leaves it as is.  The
      pollrdhup-2.6.16.rc5-0.10.diff defines the POLLRDHUP for all the existing
      archs and sets the bit in the six relevant files.  The other attached diff
      is the simple change required to sys/epoll.h to add the EPOLLRDHUP
      definition.
      
      There is "a stupid program" to test POLLRDHUP delivery here:
      
       http://www.xmailserver.org/pollrdhup-test.c
      
      It tests poll(2), but since the delivery is same epoll(2) will work equally.

      [IA64] MCA recovery: kernel context recovery table · d2a28ad9
      Russ Anderson 提交于
      Memory errors encountered by user applications may surface
      when the CPU is running in kernel context.  The current code
      will not attempt recovery if the MCA surfaces in kernel
      context (privilage mode 0).  This patch adds a check for cases
      where the user initiated the load that surfaces in kernel
      interrupt code.
      
      An example is a user process lauching a load from memory
      and the data in memory had bad ECC.  Before the bad data
      gets to the CPU register, and interrupt comes in.  The
      code jumps to the IVT interrupt entry point and begins
      execution in kernel context.  The process of saving the
      user registers (SAVE_REST) causes the bad data to be loaded
      into a CPU register, triggering the MCA.  The MCA surfaces in
      kernel context, even though the load was initiated from
      user context.
      
      As suggested by David and Tony, this patch uses an exception
      table like approach, puting the tagged recovery addresses in
      a searchable table.  One difference from the exception table
      is that MCAs do not surface in precise places (such as with
      a TLB miss), so instead of tagging specific instructions,
      address ranges are registers.  A single macro is used to do
      the tagging, with the input parameter being the label
      of the starting address and the macro being the ending
      address.  This limits clutter in the code.
      
      This patch only tags one spot, the interrupt ivt entry.
      Testing showed that spot to be a "heavy hitter" with
      MCAs surfacing while saving user registers.  Other spots
      can be added as needed by adding a single macro.
