      [SPARC]: Fix serial console device detection. · c73fcc84
      David S. Miller 提交于
      The current scheme works on static interpretation of text names, which
      is wrong.
      
      The output-device setting, for example, must be resolved via an alias
      or similar to a full path name to the console device.
      
      Paths also contain an optional set of 'options', which starts with a
      colon at the end of the path.  The option area is used to specify
      which of two serial ports ('a' or 'b') the path refers to when a
      device node drives multiple ports.  'a' is assumed if the option
      specification is missing.
      
      This was caught by the UltraSPARC-T1 simulator.  The 'output-device'
      property was set to 'ttya' and we didn't pick upon the fact that this
      is an OBP alias set to '/virtual-devices/console'.  Instead we saw it
      as the first serial console device, instead of the hypervisor console.
      
      The infrastructure is now there to take advantage of this to resolve
      the console correctly even in multi-head situations in fbcon too.
      
      Thanks to Greg Onufer for the bug report.

      sched: zap the migration init / cache-hot balancing code · 0437e109
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
      code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
      this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
      the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
      tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.
      
      this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
      doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
      delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
      balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.
      
      (and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)
      
      under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
      any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
      tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
      tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.

      rename thread_info to stack · f7e4217b
      Roman Zippel 提交于
      This finally renames the thread_info field in task structure to stack, so that
      the assumptions about this field are gone and archs have more freedom about
      placing the thread_info structure.
      
      Nonbroken archs which have a proper thread pointer can do the access to both
      current thread and task structure via a single pointer.
      
      It'll allow for a few more cleanups of the fork code, from which e.g.  ia64
      could benefit.
