      Fix boot problem with iSeries lacking hugepage support · ba72cb8c
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Ordinarily the size of a pageblock is determined at compile-time based on the
      hugepage size. On PPC64, the hugepage size is determined at runtime based on
      what is supported by the machine. With legacy machines such as iSeries that
      do not support hugepages, HPAGE_SHIFT is 0. This results in pageblock_order
      being set to -PAGE_SHIFT and a crash results shortly afterwards.
      
      This patch adds a function to select a sensible value for pageblock order by
      default when HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE is set. It checks that HPAGE_SHIFT
      is a sensible value before using the hugepage size; if it is not MAX_ORDER-1
      is used.
      
      This is a fix for 2.6.24.

      sched: restore deterministic CPU accounting on powerpc · fa13a5a1
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Since powerpc started using CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, the
      deterministic CPU accounting (CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING) has been
      broken on powerpc, because we end up counting user time twice: once in
      timer_interrupt() and once in update_process_times().
      
      This fixes the problem by pulling the code in update_process_times
      that updates utime and stime into a separate function called
      account_process_tick.  If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is not defined,
      there is a version of account_process_tick in kernel/timer.c that
      simply accounts a whole tick to either utime or stime as before.  If
      CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is defined, then arch code gets to
      implement account_process_tick.
      
      This also lets us simplify the s390 code a bit; it means that the s390
      timer interrupt can now call update_process_times even when
      CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is turned on, and can just implement a
      suitable account_process_tick().
      
      account_process_tick() now takes the task_struct * as an argument.
      Tested both with and without CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING.
