Impact: improve NUMA handling by migrating irq_desc on smp_affinity changes if CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATE_IRQ_DESC is set: - make irq_desc to go with affinity aka irq_desc moving etc - call move_irq_desc in irq_complete_move() - legacy irq_desc is not moved, because they are allocated via static array for logical apic mode, need to add move_desc_in_progress_in_same_domain, otherwise it will not be moved ==> also could need two phases to get irq_desc moved.

Impact: new feature Problem on distro kernels: irq_desc[NR_IRQS] takes megabytes of RAM with NR_CPUS set to large values. The goal is to be able to scale up to much larger NR_IRQS value without impacting the (important) common case. To solve this, we generalize irq_desc[NR_IRQS] to an (optional) array of irq_desc pointers. When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y is used, we use kzalloc_node to get irq_desc, this also makes the IRQ descriptors NUMA-local (to the site that calls request_irq()). This gets rid of the irq_cfg[] static array on x86 as well: irq_cfg now uses desc->chip_data for x86 to store irq_cfg.

My previous patch to make CONFIG_NUMA on x86_32 depend on BROKEN turned out to be unnecessary, after all, since the source of the hibernation vs CONFIG_NUMA problem turned out to be the fact that we didn't take the NUMA KVA remapping into account in the hibernation code.

While investigating the failure of hibernation on 32-bit x86 with CONFIG_NUMA set, as described in this message http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=122634118116226&w=4 I asked some people for help and I was told that it wasn't really worth the effort, because CONFIG_NUMA was generally broken on 32-bit x86 systems and it shouldn't be used in such configs.

This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups framework. It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem. The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named freezer.state. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in the cgroup. Reading will return the current state. * Examples of usage : # mkdir /containers/freezer # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers # mkdir /containers/0 # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks to get status of the freezer subsystem : # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING to freeze all tasks in the container : # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FREEZING # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FROZEN to unfreeze all tasks in the container : # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space task in a simple scenario. It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete. In that case we return EBUSY. This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this time. After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read. The state will remain "FREEZING" until one of these things happens: 1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to the freezer.state file 2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal and returns EIO) 3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN" state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

x86: allow number of additional hotplug CPUs to be set at compile time, V2 The default number of additional CPU IDs for hotplugging is determined by asking ACPI or mptables how many "disabled" CPUs there are in the system, but many systems get this wrong so that e.g. a uniprocessor machine gets an extra CPU allocated and never switches to single CPU mode. And sometimes CPU hotplugging is enabled only for suspend/hibernate anyway, so the additional CPU IDs are not wanted. Allow the number to be set to zero at compile time. Also, force the number of extra CPUs to zero if hotplugging is disabled which allows removing some conditional code. Tested on uniprocessor x86_64 that ACPI claims has a disabled processor, with CPU hotplugging configured. ("After" has the number of additional CPUs set to 0) Before: NR_CPUS: 512, nr_cpu_ids: 2, nr_node_ids 1 After: NR_CPUS: 512, nr_cpu_ids: 1, nr_node_ids 1 [Changed the name of the option and the prompt according to Ingo's suggestion.] Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This bugzilla: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237 Documents a wide range of systems where the BIOS utilizes the first 64K of physical memory during suspend/resume and other hardware events. Currently we reserve this memory on all AMI and Phoenix BIOS systems. Life is too short to hunt subtle memory corruption problems like this, so we try to be robust by default. Still, allow this to be overriden: allow users who want that first 64K of memory to be available to the kernel disable the quirk, via CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K=n. Also, allow the early reservation to overlap with other early reservations. Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Some BIOSes have been observed to corrupt memory in the low 64k. This change: - Reserves all memory which does not have to be in that area, to prevent it from being used as general memory by the kernel. Things like the SMP trampoline are still in the memory, however. - Clears the reserved memory so we can observe changes to it. - Adds a function check_for_bios_corruption() which checks and reports on memory becoming unexpectedly non-zero.

This fixes a regression that was indirectly caused by commit 1184dc2f ("x86: modify Kconfig to allow up to 4096 cpus"). Allowing 4k CPU's is not practical at this time, because we still have a number of places that have several 'cpumask_t's on the stack, and a 4k-bit cpumask is 512 bytes of stack-space for each such variable. This literally caused functions like 'smp_call_function_mask' to have a 2.5kB stack frame, and several functions to have 2kB stackframes. With an 8kB stack total, smashing the stack was simply much too likely. At least bugzilla entry http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11342 was due to this. The earlier commit to not inline load_module() into sys_init_module() fixed the particular symptoms of this that Alan Brunelle saw in that bugzilla entry, but the huge stack waste by cpumask_t's was the more direct cause. Some day we'll have allocation helpers that allocate large CPU masks dynamically, but in the meantime we simply cannot allow cpumasks this large. Cc: Alan D.
