It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes, confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled. The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows: 1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked. 2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_ NetBSD 2.0 *). The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux: 1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this). 2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being handled is not blocked. The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to the way most Unix boxes work. Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU 3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX. * NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that behaves differently here with #2.

Patch to support P-state transitions on ia64. This driver is based on ACPI, and uses the ACPI processor driver interface to find out the P-state support information for the processor. This driver plugs into generic cpufreq infrastructure. Once this driver is loaded successfully, ondemand/userspace governor can be used to change the CPU frequency dynamically based on load or on request from userspace process.

Currently, region numbers are defined in several files, with several names. For example, we have REGION_KERNEL in asm/page.h and RGN_KERNEL in pgtable.h We also have address definitions that should depend on the RGN_XXX macros, but are currently just long constants. The following patch reorganises all the definitions so that they have the same form (RGN_XXX), are in one place, and that addresses that depend on RGN_XXX are derived from them. (This is a necessary but not sufficient patch to allow UML-like operation on IA64). Thanks to David Mosberger for catching the change I missed in mmu_context.h.

This removes sys_set_zone_reclaim() for now. While i'm sure Martin is trying to solve a real problem, we must not hard-code an incomplete and insufficient approach into a syscall, because syscalls are pretty much for eternity. I am quite strongly convinced that this syscall must not hit v2.6.13 in its current form. Firstly, the syscall lacks basic syscall design: e.g. it allows the global setting of VM policy for unprivileged users. (!) [ Imagine an Oracle installation and a SAP installation on the same NUMA box fighting over the 'optimal' setting for this flag. What will they do? Will they try to set the flag to their own preferred value every second or so? ] Secondly, it was added based on a single datapoint from Martin: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=111763597218177&w=2 where Martin characterizes the numbers the following way: ' Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so these numbers aren't terribly useful except to see that with reclaim the benchmark still finishes in a reasonable amount of time. ' in other words: the fundamental problem has likely not been solved, only a tendential move into the right direction has been observed, and a handful of numbers were picked out of a set of hugely variable results, without showing the variability data. How much variance is there run-to-run? I'd really suggest to first walk the walk and see what's needed to get stable & predictable kernel compilation numbers on that NUMA box, before adding random syscalls to tune a particular aspect of the VM ... which approach might not even matter once the whole picture has been analyzed and understood! The third, most important point is that the syscall exposes VM tuning internals in a completely unstructured way. What sense does it make to have a _GLOBAL_ per-node setting for 'should we go to another node for reclaim'? If then it might make sense to do this per-app, via numalib or so. The change is minimalistic in that it doesnt remove the syscall and the underlying infrastructure changes, only the user-visible changes. We could perhaps add a CAP_SYS_ADMIN-only sysctl for this hack, a'ka /proc/sys/vm/swappiness, but even that looks quite counterproductive when the generic approach is that we are trying to reduce the number of external factors in the VM balance picture.

unwind.c can read the wrong unat bits from switch_stack. sw->caller_unat is the value of ar.unat when the task was blocked. sw->ar_unat is the value of ar.unat after doing st8.spill for r4-7. IOW, ar_unat is caller_unat with 4 bits changed. unw_access_gr() uses sw->ar_unat for r4-7 (correct), but it also uses sw->ar_unat for other scratch registers (incorrect). sw->ar_unat should only be used for r4-7, everything else should use sw->caller_unat, unless modified by unwind info. Using sw->ar_unat risks picking up the 4 bits that were overwritten when r4-7 were saved. Also this line is wrong unw.sw_off[unw.preg_index[UNW_REG_PFS]] = SW(AR_UNAT); and should be unw.sw_off[unw.preg_index[UNW_REG_PFS]] = SW(AR_PFS); Signed-off-by: NKeith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: NTony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Current assign_irq_vector() will panic if interrupt vectors is running out. But I think how to handle the case of lack of interrupt vectors should be handled by the caller of this function. For example, some PCI devices can raise the interrupt signal via both MSI and I/O APIC. So even if the driver for these device fails to allocate a vector for MSI, the driver still has a chance to use I/O APIC based interrupt. But currently there is no chance for these driver to use I/O APIC based interrupt because kernel will panic when assign_irq_vector() fails to allocate interrupt vector. The following patch changes assign_irq_vector() for ia64 to return -ENOSPC on error instead of panic (as i386 and x86_64 versions do).

Jesse Barnes provided the original version of this patch months ago, but other changes kept conflicting with it, so it got deferred. Greg Edwards dug it out of obscurity just over a week ago, and almost immediately another conflicting patch appeared (Bob Picco's memory-less nodes). I've resolved the conflicts and got it running again. CONFIG_SGI_TIOCX is set to "y" in defconfig, which causes a Tiger to not boot (oops in tiocx_init).

Due to the NaT-page mapped at address 0, this is guaranteed to happen when lfetch.fault'ing a NULL pointer.

The following patch implements function return probes for ia64 using the revised design. With this new design we no longer need to do some of the odd hacks previous required on the last ia64 return probe port that I sent out for comments. Note that this new implementation still does not resolve the problem noted by Keith Owens where backtrace data is lost after a return probe is hit. Changes include: * Addition of kretprobe_trampoline to act as a dummy function for instrumented functions to return to, and for the return probe infrastructure to place a kprobe on on, gaining control so that the return probe handler can be called, and so that the instruction pointer can be moved back to the original return address. * Addition of arch_init(), allowing a kprobe to be registered on kretprobe_trampoline * Addition of trampoline_probe_handler() which is used as the pre_handler for the kprobe inserted on kretprobe_implementation. This is the function that handles the details for calling the return probe handler function and returning control back at the original return address * Addition of arch_prepare_kretprobe() which is setup as the pre_handler for a kprobe registered at the beginning of the target function by kernel/kprobes.c so that a return probe instance can be setup when a caller enters the target function. (A return probe instance contains all the needed information for trampoline_probe_handler to do it's job.) * Hooks added to the exit path of a task so that we can cleanup any left-over return probe instances (i.e. if a task dies while inside a targeted function then the return probe instance was reserved at the beginning of the function but the function never returns so we need to mark the instance as unused.)

(The i386 CPU hotplug patch provides infrastructure for some work which Pavel is doing as well as for ACPI S3 (suspend-to-RAM) work which Li Shaohua <shaohua.li@intel.com> is doing) The following provides i386 architecture support for safely unregistering and registering processors during runtime, updated for the current -mm tree. In order to avoid dumping cpu hotplug code into kernel/irq/* i dropped the cpu_online check in do_IRQ() by modifying fixup_irqs(). The difference being that on cpu offline, fixup_irqs() is called before we clear the cpu from cpu_online_map and a long delay in order to ensure that we never have any queued external interrupts on the APICs. There are additional changes to s390 and ppc64 to account for this change. 1) Add CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU 2) disable local APIC timer on dead cpus. 3) Disable preempt around irq balancing to prevent CPUs going down. 4) Print irq stats for all possible cpus. 5) Debugging check for interrupts on offline cpus. 6) Hacky fixup_irqs() to redirect irqs when cpus go off/online. 7) play_dead() for offline cpus to spin inside. 8) Handle offline cpus set in flush_tlb_others(). 9) Grab lock earlier in smp_call_function() to prevent CPUs going down. 10) Implement __cpu_disable() and __cpu_die(). 11) Enable local interrupts in cpu_enable() after fixup_irqs() 12) Don't fiddle with NMI on dead cpu, but leave intact on other cpus. 13) Program IRQ affinity whilst cpu is still in cpu_online_map on offline.
