      SLUB: Alternate fast paths using cmpxchg_local · 1f84260c
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      Provide an alternate implementation of the SLUB fast paths for alloc
and free using cmpxchg_local. The cmpxchg_local fast path is selected
for arches that have CONFIG_FAST_CMPXCHG_LOCAL set. An arch should only
set CONFIG_FAST_CMPXCHG_LOCAL if the cmpxchg_local is faster than an
interrupt enable/disable sequence. This is known to be true for both
x86 platforms so set FAST_CMPXCHG_LOCAL for both arches.

Currently another requirement for the fastpath is that the kernel is
compiled without preemption. The restriction will go away with the
introduction of a new per cpu allocator and new per cpu operations.

The advantages of a cmpxchg_local based fast path are:

1. Potentially lower cycle count (30%-60% faster)

2. There is no need to disable and enable interrupts on the fast path.
   Currently interrupts have to be disabled and enabled on every
   slab operation. This is likely avoiding a significant percentage
   of interrupt off / on sequences in the kernel.

3. The disposal of freed slabs can occur with interrupts enabled.

The alternate path is realized using #ifdef's. Several attempts to do the
same with macros and inline functions resulted in a mess (in particular due
to the strange way that local_interrupt_save() handles its argument and due
to the need to define macros/functions that sometimes disable interrupts
and sometimes do something else).

      Fix compilation of powerpc asm-offsets.c with old gcc · 151db1fc
      由 Tony Breeds 提交于 
      Commit ad7f7167 ("[POWERPC] Use a
sensible default for clock_getres() in the VDSO") corrected the clock
resolution reported by the VDSO clock_getres() but introduced another
problem in that older versions of gcc (gcc-4.0 and earlier) fail to
compile the new code in arch/powerpc/kernel/asm-offsets.c.

This fixes it by introducing a new MONOTONIC_RES_NSEC define in the
generic code which is equivalent to KTIME_MONOTONIC_RES but is just an
integer constant, not a ktime union.

      Sanitize the type of struct user.u_ar0 · 6e16d89b
      由 H. Peter Anvin 提交于 
      struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all
architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an
a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers,
which is pointless -- <asm/user.h> is not exported to userspace, and it
just makes the code messy.

Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer
on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof()
instead of hand-coded arithmetic.

      vmcoreinfo: fix the configuration dependencies · 92df5c3e
      由 Ken'ichi Ohmichi 提交于 
      This patch fixes the configuration dependencies in the vmcoreinfo data.

i386's "node_data" is defined in arch/x86/mm/discontig_32.c,
and x86_64's one is defined in arch/x86/mm/numa_64.c.
They depend on CONFIG_NUMA:
  arch/x86/mm/Makefile_32:7
    obj-$(CONFIG_NUMA) += discontig_32.o
  arch/x86/mm/Makefile_64:7
    obj-$(CONFIG_NUMA) += numa_64.o

ia64's "pgdat_list" is defined in arch/ia64/mm/discontig.c,
and it depends on CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM and CONFIG_SPARSEMEM:
  arch/ia64/mm/Makefile:9-10
    obj-$(CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM) += discontig.o
    obj-$(CONFIG_SPARSEMEM)    += discontig.o

ia64's "node_memblk" is defined in arch/ia64/mm/numa.c,
and it depends on CONFIG_NUMA:

      vmcoreinfo: rename vmcoreinfo's macros returning the size · c76f860c
      由 Ken'ichi Ohmichi 提交于 
      This patchset is for the vmcoreinfo data.

The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
filtering.  makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish
unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile.

This patch:

VMCOREINFO_SIZE() should be renamed VMCOREINFO_STRUCT_SIZE() since it's always
returning the size of the struct with a given name. This change would allow
VMCOREINFO_TYPEDEF_SIZE() to simply become VMCOREINFO_SIZE() since it need not
be used exclusively for typedefs.

      Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem() · 72a7fe39
      由 Bernhard Walle 提交于 
      This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.

This patch:

Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past.  This is to avoid conflicts.

Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().
