      [PATCH] shared page table for hugetlb page · 39dde65c
      由 Chen, Kenneth W 提交于 
      Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken.  This
set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only.

The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of
independent processes sharing large shared memory segments.  In the normal
page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite
significant.  For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary
objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead
significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is
to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss.

With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache
consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application
gets much higher cache hit ratio.  One other effect is that cache hit ratio
with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this
helps to reduce tlb miss latency.  These two effects contribute to higher
application performance.

      Altix: Initial ACPI support - ROM shadowing. · a2302c68
      由 John Keller 提交于 
      Support a shadowed ROM when running with an ACPI capable PROM.

Define a new dev.resource flag IORESOURCE_ROM_BIOS_COPY to
describe the case of a BIOS shadowed ROM, which can then
be used to avoid pci_map_rom() making an unneeded call to
pci_enable_rom().

      Altix: Add initial ACPI IO support · 8ea6091f
      由 John Keller 提交于 
      First phase in introducing ACPI support to SN.
In this phase, when running with an ACPI capable PROM,
the DSDT will define the root busses and all SN nodes
(SGIHUB, SGITIO). An ACPI bus driver will be registered
for the node devices, with the acpi_pci_root_driver being
used for the root busses. An ACPI vendor descriptor is
now used to pass platform specific information for both
nodes and busses, eliminating the need for the current
SAL calls. Also, with ACPI support, SN fixup code is no longer
needed to initiate the PCI bus scans, as the acpi_pci_root_driver
does that.

However, to maintain backward compatibility with non-ACPI capable
PROMs, none of the current 'fixup' code can been deleted, though
much restructuring has been done. For example, the bulk of the code
in io_common.c is relocated code that is now common regardless
of what PROM is running, while io_acpi_init.c and io_init.c contain
routines specific to an ACPI or non ACPI capable PROM respectively.

A new pci bus fixup platform vector has been created to provide
a hook for invoking platform specific bus fixup from pcibios_fixup_bus().

The size of io_space[] has been increased to support systems with
large IO configurations.

      PCI: Use pci_generic_prep_mwi on ia64 · 3efe2d84
      由 Matthew Wilcox 提交于 
      The pci_generic_prep_mwi() code does everything that pcibios_prep_mwi()
does on ia64.  All we need to do is be sure that pci_cache_line_size
is set appropriately, and we can delete pcibios_prep_mwi().

Using SMP_CACHE_BYTES as the default was wrong on uniprocessor machines
as it is only 8 bytes.  The default in the generic code of L1_CACHE_BYTES
is at least as good.

      [IA64] bte_unaligned_copy() transfers one extra cache line. · cbf093e8
      由 Robin Holt 提交于 
      When called to do a transfer that has a start offset within the cache
line which is uneven between source and destination and a length which
terminates the source of the copy exactly on a cache line, one extra
line gets copied into a temporary buffer.  This is normally not an issue
since the buffer is a kernel buffer and only the requested information
gets copied into the user buffer.

The problem arises when the source ends at the very last physical page
of memory.  That last cache line does not exist and results in the SHUB
chip raising an MCA.

      [PATCH] hugetlb: prepare_hugepage_range check offset too · 68589bc3
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      (David:)

If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example,
because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff
will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path.

But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path
will call unmap_region() on it.  That will eventually call down to the
non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range().  On ppc64, at least, that will
cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in
the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the
same PUD.  unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud
entries.  I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't
have a machine to test it on.

(Hugh:)

prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks
virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from
unmapping before it fails further down.  PowerPC should apply the same
prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do.

Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor
is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of
VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if
hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region
when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad
behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge
mappings into a separate region of the address space.

      [PATCH] mm: use symbolic names instead of indices for zone initialisation · 6391af17
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      Arch-independent zone-sizing is using indices instead of symbolic names to
offset within an array related to zones (max_zone_pfns).  The unintended
impact is that ZONE_DMA and ZONE_NORMAL is initialised on powerpc instead
of ZONE_DMA and ZONE_HIGHMEM when CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set.  As a result, the
the machine fails to boot but will boot with CONFIG_HIGHMEM turned off.

The following patch properly initialises the max_zone_pfns[] array and uses
symbolic names instead of indices in each architecture using
arch-independent zone-sizing.  Two users have successfully booted their
powerpcs with it (one an ibook G4).  It has also been boot tested on x86,
x86_64, ppc64 and ia64.  Please merge for 2.6.19-rc2.

Credit to Benjamin Herrenschmidt for identifying the bug and rolling the
first fix.  Additional credit to Johannes Berg and Andreas Schwab for
reporting the problem and testing on powerpc.

      IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers · 7d12e780
      由 David Howells 提交于 
      Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.
