      syscall define: fix uml compile bug · 6c597963
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      With the new system call defines we get this on uml:
      
      arch/um/sys-i386/built-in.o: In function `sys_call_table':
      (.rodata+0x308): undefined reference to `sys_sigprocmask'
      
      Reason for this is that uml passes the preprocessor option
      -Dsigprocmask=kernel_sigprocmask to gcc when compiling the kernel.
      This causes SYSCALL_DEFINE3(sigprocmask, ...) to be expanded to
      SYSCALL_DEFINEx(3, kernel_sigprocmask, ...) and finally to a system
      call named sys_kernel_sigprocmask.  However sys_sigprocmask is missing
      because of this.
      
      To avoid macro expansion for the system call name just concatenate the
      name at first define instead of carrying it through severel levels.
      This was pointed out by Al Viro.

      cgroups: fix lockdep subclasses overflow · cfebe563
      Li Zefan 提交于
      I enabled all cgroup subsystems when compiling kernel, and then:
       # mount -t cgroup -o net_cls xxx /mnt
       # mkdir /mnt/0
      
      This showed up immediately:
       BUG: MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES too low!
       turning off the locking correctness validator.
      
      It's caused by the cgroup hierarchy lock:
      	for (i = 0; i < CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT; i++) {
      		struct cgroup_subsys *ss = subsys[i];
      		if (ss->root == root)
      			mutex_lock_nested(&ss->hierarchy_mutex, i);
      	}
      
      Now we have 9 cgroup subsystems, and the above 'i' for net_cls is 8, but
      MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBCLASSES is 8.
      
      This patch uses different lockdep keys for different subsystems.

      libata: implement HORKAGE_1_5_GBPS and apply it to WD My Book · 9062712f
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      3Gbps is often much more prone to transmission failures.  It's usually
      okay to let EH handle speed down after transmission failures but some
      WD My Book drives completely shutdown after certain transmission
      failures and after it only power cycling can revive them.  Combined
      with the fact that external drives often end up with cable assembly
      which is longer than usual and more likely to have intervening gender,
      this makes these drives very likely to shutdown under certain
      configurations virtually rendering them unusable.
      
      This patch implements HOARKGE_1_5_GBPS and applies it to WD My Book
      such that 1.5Gbps is forced once the device is identified.

      libata: clear dev->ering in smarter way · 99cf610a
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      dev->ering used to be cleared together with the rest of ata_device in
      ata_dev_init() which is called whenever a probing event occurs.
      dev->ering is about to be used to track probing failures so it needs
      to remain persistent over multiple porbing events.  This patch
      achieves this by doing the following.
      
      * Instead of CLEAR_OFFSET, define CLEAR_BEGIN and CLEAR_END and only
        clear between BEGIN and END.  ering is moved after END.  The split
        of persistent area is to allow hotter items remain at the head.
      
      * ering is explicitly cleared on ata_dev_disable() and when device
        attach succeeds.  So, ering is persistent throug a device's life
        time (unless explicitly cleared of course) and also through periods
        inbetween disablement of an attached device and successful detection
        of the next one.

      modules: Use a better scheme for refcounting · 720eba31
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Current refcounting for modules (done if CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y) is
      using a lot of memory.
      
      Each 'struct module' contains an [NR_CPUS] array of full cache lines.
      
      This patch uses existing infrastructure (percpu_modalloc() &
      percpu_modfree()) to allocate percpu space for the refcount storage.
      
      Instead of wasting NR_CPUS*128 bytes (on i386), we now use
      nr_cpu_ids*sizeof(local_t) bytes.
      
      On a typical distro, where NR_CPUS=8, shiping 2000 modules, we reduce
      size of module files by about 2 Mbytes. (1Kb per module)
      
      Instead of having all refcounters in the same memory node - with TLB misses
      because of vmalloc() - this new implementation permits to have better
      NUMA properties, since each  CPU will use storage on its preferred node,
      thanks to percpu storage.

      linker script: use separate simpler definition for PERCPU() · 3ac6cffe
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Impact: fix linker screwup on x86_32
      
      Recent x86_64 zerobased patches introduced PERCPU_VADDR() to put
      .data.percpu to a predefined address and re-defined PERCPU() in terms
      of it.  The new macro defined one extra symbol, __per_cpu_load, for
      LMA of the section so that the init data could be accessed.  This new
      symbol introduced the following problems to x86_32.
      
      1. If __per_cpu_load is defined outside of .data.percpu as an absolute
         symbol, relocation generation for relocatable kernel fails due to
         absolute relocation.
      
      2. If __per_cpu_load is put inside .data.percpu with absolute address
         assignment to work around #1, linker gets confused and under
         certain configurations ends up relocating the symbol against
         .data.percpu such that the load address gets added on top of
         already set load address.
      
      As x86_32 doesn't use predefined address for .data.percpu, there's no
      need for it to care about the possibility of __per_cpu_load being
      different from __per_cpu_start.
      
      This patch defines PERCPU() separately so that __per_cpu_load is
      defined inside .data.percpu so that everything is ordinary
      linking-wise.

      hrtimers: allow the hot-unplugging of all cpus · 94df7de0
      Sebastien Dugue 提交于
      Impact: fix CPU hotplug hang on Power6 testbox
      
      On architectures that support offlining all cpus (at least powerpc/pseries),
      hot-unpluging the tick_do_timer_cpu can result in a system hang.
      
      This comes from the fact that if the cpu going down happens to be the
      cpu doing the tick, then as the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happens after the
      cpu is dead (via the CPU_DEAD notification), we're left without ticks,
      jiffies are frozen and any task relying on timers (msleep, ...) is stuck.
      That's particularly the case for the cpu looping in __cpu_die() waiting
      for the dying cpu to be dead.
      
      This patch addresses this by having the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happen
      earlier during the CPU_DYING notification. For this, a new clockevent
      notification type is introduced (CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_CPU_DYING) which is triggered
      in hrtimer_cpu_notify().
