由 Andrew Morton 提交于
The multithreaded-probing code has a problem: after one initcall level (eg, core_initcall) has been processed, we will then start processing the next level (postcore_initcall) while the kernel threads which are handling core_initcall are still executing. This breaks the guarantees which the layered initcalls previously gave us. IOW, we want to be multithreaded _within_ an initcall level, but not between different levels. Fix that up by causing the probing code to wait for all outstanding probes at one level to complete before we start processing the next level.

A number of new drivers require io{read,write}{8,16,32}{be,} family of io operations. These are provided for the AVR32 by this patch in the form of a series of macros. Access to the (memory mapped) io space through these macros is defined to be little endian only as little endian devices (such as PCI) are the main consumer of IO access. If high speed access is required, io{read,write}{16,32}be macros are supplied to perform native big endian access to this io space.

When calling e.g. atomic_sub_return with a large constant, the compiler may output an immediate that is too large for the sub instruction in the middle of the loop. Fix this by explicitly specifying the number of bits allowed in the constraint. Also stop atomic_add_return() and friends from falling back to their respective "sub" variants if the constant is too large to fit in an immediate.

The transport class recv mempools are causing slab corruption. We could hack around netlink's lack of mempool support like dm, but it is just too ulgy (dm's hack is ugly enough :) when you need to support broadcast. This patch removes the recv pools. We have not used them even when we were allocting 20 MB per session and the system only had 64 MBs. And we have no pools on the send side and have been ok there. When Peter's work gets merged we can use that since the network guys are in favor of that approach and are not going to add mempools everywhere.

The Cell CPU timebase has an erratum. When reading the entire 64 bits of the timebase with one mftb instruction, there is a handful of cycles window during which one might read a value with the low order 32 bits already reset to 0x00000000 but the high order bits not yet incremeted by one. This fixes it by reading the timebase again until the low order 32 bits is no longer 0. That might introduce occasional latencies if hitting mftb just at the wrong time, but no more than 70ns on a cell blade, and that was considered acceptable.

This patch reworks the feature fixup mecanism so vdso's can be fixed up. The main issue was that the construct: .long label (or .llong on 64 bits) will not work in the case of a shared library like the vdso. It will generate an empty placeholder in the fixup table along with a reloc, which is not something we can deal with in the vdso. The idea here (thanks Alan Modra !) is to instead use something like: 1: .long label - 1b That is, the feature fixup tables no longer contain addresses of bits of code to patch, but offsets of such code from the fixup table entry itself. That is properly resolved by ld when building the .so's. I've modified the fixup mecanism generically to use that method for the rest of the kernel as well. Another trick is that the 32 bits vDSO included in the 64 bits kernel need to have a table in the 64 bits format. However, gas does not support 32 bits code with a statement of the form: .llong label - 1b (Or even just .llong label) That is, it cannot emit the right fixup/relocation for the linker to use to assign a 32 bits address to an .llong field. Thus, in the specific case of the 32 bits vdso built as part of the 64 bits kernel, we are using a modified macro that generates: .long 0xffffffff .llong label - 1b Note that is assumes that the value is negative which is enforced by the .lds (those offsets are always negative as the .text is always before the fixup table and gas doesn't support emiting the reloc the other way around).

There are currently two versions of the functions for applying the feature fixups, one for CPU features and one for firmware features. In addition, they are both in assembly and with separate implementations for 32 and 64 bits. identify_cpu() is also implemented in assembly and separately for 32 and 64 bits. This patch replaces them with a pair of C functions. The call sites are slightly moved on ppc64 as well to be called from C instead of from assembly, though it's a very small change, and thus shouldn't cause any problem.

由 Eric W. Biederman 提交于
When I generalized __assign_irq_vector I failed to pay attention to what happens when you access a per cpu data structure for a cpu that is not online. It is an undefined case making any code that does it have undefined behavior as well. The code still needs to be able to allocate a vector across cpus that are not online to properly handle combinations like lowest priority interrupt delivery and cpu_hotplug. Not that we can do that today but the infrastructure shouldn't prevent it. So this patch updates the places where we touch per cpu data to only touch online cpus, it makes cpu vector allocation an atomic operation with respect to cpu hotplug, and it updates the cpu start code to properly initialize vector_irq so we don't have inconsistencies.

Eliminate more __must_check madness. The return code from device_for_each_child() depends on the values which the helper function returns. If the helper function always returns zero, it's utterly pointless to check the return code from device_for_each_child(). The only code which knows if the return value should be checked is the caller itself, so forcing the return code to always be checked is silly. Hence, remove the __must_check annotation.

The current implementation uses a sequence of a cacheflush and a copy. This is racy in case of a multithreaded debuggee and renders GDB virtually unusable. Aside this fixes a performance hog rendering access to /proc/cmdline very slow and resulting in a enough cache stalls for the 34K AP/SP programming model to make the bare metal code on the non-Linux VPE miss RT deadlines.

Mistyped an ifdef CONFIG_CPUSETS - fixed. I doubt that anyone ever noticed. The impact of this typo was that if someone: 1) was using MPOL_BIND to force off node allocations 2) while using cpusets to constrain memory placement 3) when that cpuset was migrating that jobs memory 4) while the tasks in that job were actively forking then there was a rare chance that future allocations using that MPOL_BIND policy would be node local, not off node.

By default route the 8254 over the 8259 and only disable it on ATI boards where this causes double timer interrupts. This should unbreak some Nvidia boards where the timer doesn't seem to tick of it isn't enabled in the 8259. At least one VIA board also seemed to have a little trouble with the disabled 8259. For 2.6.20 we'll try both dynamically without black listing, but I think for .19 this is the safer approach because it has been already well tested in earlier kernels. This also makes the x86-64 behaviour the same as i386. Command line options can change all this of course. Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

This changes the dwarf2 unwinder to do a binary search for CIEs instead of a linear work. The linker is unfortunately not able to build a proper lookup table at link time, instead it creates one at runtime as soon as the bootmem allocator is usable (so you'll continue using the linear lookup for the first [hopefully] few calls). The code should be ready to utilize a build-time created table once a fixed linker becomes available. Signed-off-by: NJan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
