      sparse irq_desc[] array: core kernel and x86 changes · 0b8f1efa
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      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.

      container freezer: implement freezer cgroup subsystem · dc52ddc0
      Matt Helsley 提交于
      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 · 7f2f49a5
      Chuck Ebbert 提交于
      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

      Documents a wide range of systems where the BIOS utilizes the first

      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.

      [x86] Clean up MAXSMP Kconfig, and limit NR_CPUS to 512 · d25e26b6
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      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.
