      ASoC: simple-card: overwrite cpu_dai->fmt with codec_dai->fmt · 46c39cae
      Nicolin Chen 提交于
      The current simple-card driver separates the daimft for cpu_dai and codec_dai.
      So we might get different values for them (0x4003 and 0x1003 for example):
      
      asoc-simple-card sound-cs42888.12: cpu : 2024000.esai / 4003 / 132000000
      asoc-simple-card sound-cs42888.12: codec : cs42888 / 1003 / 24576000
      asoc-simple-card sound-cs42888.12: cs42888 <-> 2024000.esai mapping ok
      
      This is not allowed at all as we need to keep the DAIFMT settings identical
      for both the ends of the link.
      
      Thus this patch fixes it by overwriting the cpu_dai->fmt with codec_dai->fmt
      since we defined the DAIFMT_MASTER basing on CODEC at the first place while
      the other bits are same.

      mm, oom: base root bonus on current usage · 778c14af
      David Rientjes 提交于
      A 3% of system memory bonus is sometimes too excessive in comparison to
      other processes.
      
      With commit a63d83f4 ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite"), the OOM
      killer tries to avoid killing privileged tasks by subtracting 3% of
      overall memory (system or cgroup) from their per-task consumption.  But
      as a result, all root tasks that consume less than 3% of overall memory
      are considered equal, and so it only takes 33+ privileged tasks pushing
      the system out of memory for the OOM killer to do something stupid and
      kill dhclient or other root-owned processes.  For example, on a 32G
      machine it can't tell the difference between the 1M agetty and the 10G
      fork bomb member.
      
      The changelog describes this 3% boost as the equivalent to the global
      overcommit limit being 3% higher for privileged tasks, but this is not
      the same as discounting 3% of overall memory from _every privileged task
      individually_ during OOM selection.
      
      Replace the 3% of system memory bonus with a 3% of current memory usage
      bonus.
      
      By giving root tasks a bonus that is proportional to their actual size,
      they remain comparable even when relatively small.  In the example
      above, the OOM killer will discount the 1M agetty's 256 badness points
      down to 179, and the 10G fork bomb's 262144 points down to 183500 points
      and make the right choice, instead of discounting both to 0 and killing
      agetty because it's first in the task list.

      zram: promote zram from staging · cd67e10a
      Minchan Kim 提交于
      Zram has lived in staging for a LONG LONG time and have been
      fixed/improved by many contributors so code is clean and stable now.  Of
      course, there are lots of product using zram in real practice.
      
      The major TV companys have used zram as swap since two years ago and
      recently our production team released android smart phone with zram
      which is used as swap, too and recently Android Kitkat start to use zram
      for small memory smart phone.  And there was a report Google released
      their ChromeOS with zram, too and cyanogenmod have been used zram long
      time ago.  And I heard some disto have used zram block device for tmpfs.
      In addition, I saw many report from many other peoples.  For example,
      Lubuntu start to use it.
      
      The benefit of zram is very clear.  With my experience, one of the
      benefit was to remove jitter of video application with backgroud memory
      pressure.  It would be effect of efficient memory usage by compression
      but more issue is whether swap is there or not in the system.  Recent
      mobile platforms have used JAVA so there are many anonymous pages.  But
      embedded system normally are reluctant to use eMMC or SDCard as swap
      because there is wear-leveling and latency issues so if we do not use
      swap, it means we can't reclaim anoymous pages and at last, we could
      encounter OOM kill.  :(
      
      Although we have real storage as swap, it was a problem, too.  Because
      it sometime ends up making system very unresponsible caused by slow swap
      storage performance.
      
      Quote from Luigi on Google
       "Since Chrome OS was mentioned: the main reason why we don't use swap
        to a disk (rotating or SSD) is because it doesn't degrade gracefully
        and leads to a bad interactive experience.  Generally we prefer to
        manage RAM at a higher level, by transparently killing and restarting
        processes.  But we noticed that zram is fast enough to be competitive
        with the latter, and it lets us make more efficient use of the
        available RAM.  " and he announced.
      http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg57717.html
      
      Other uses case is to use zram for block device.  Zram is block device
      so anyone can format the block device and mount on it so some guys on
      the internet start zram as /var/tmp.
      http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-838198-start-0.html
      
      Let's promote zram and enhance/maintain it instead of removing.

      KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add support for DABRX register on POWER7 · 8563bf52
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      The DABRX (DABR extension) register on POWER7 processors provides finer
      control over which accesses cause a data breakpoint interrupt.  It
      contains 3 bits which indicate whether to enable accesses in user,
      kernel and hypervisor modes respectively to cause data breakpoint
      interrupts, plus one bit that enables both real mode and virtual mode
      accesses to cause interrupts.  Currently, KVM sets DABRX to allow
      both kernel and user accesses to cause interrupts while in the guest.
      
      This adds support for the guest to specify other values for DABRX.
      PAPR defines a H_SET_XDABR hcall to allow the guest to set both DABR
      and DABRX with one call.  This adds a real-mode implementation of
      H_SET_XDABR, which shares most of its code with the existing H_SET_DABR
      implementation.  To support this, we add a per-vcpu field to store the
      DABRX value plus code to get and set it via the ONE_REG interface.
      
      For Linux guests to use this new hcall, userspace needs to add
      "hcall-xdabr" to the set of strings in the /chosen/hypertas-functions
      property in the device tree.  If userspace does this and then migrates
      the guest to a host where the kernel doesn't include this patch, then
      userspace will need to implement H_SET_XDABR by writing the specified
      DABR value to the DABR using the ONE_REG interface.  In that case, the
      old kernel will set DABRX to DABRX_USER | DABRX_KERNEL.  That should
      still work correctly, at least for Linux guests, since Linux guests
      cope with getting data breakpoint interrupts in modes that weren't
      requested by just ignoring the interrupt, and Linux guests never set
      DABRX_BTI.
      
      The other thing this does is to make H_SET_DABR and H_SET_XDABR work
      on POWER8, which has the DAWR and DAWRX instead of DABR/X.  Guests that
      know about POWER8 should use H_SET_MODE rather than H_SET_[X]DABR, but
      guests running in POWER7 compatibility mode will still use H_SET_[X]DABR.
      For them, this adds the logic to convert DABR/X values into DAWR/X values
      on POWER8.
