      [PATCH] x86_64: Tell VM about holes in nodes · 485761bd
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      Some nodes can have large holes on x86-64.
      
      This fixes problems with the VM allowing too many dirty pages because it
      overestimates the number of available RAM in a node.  In extreme cases you
      can end up with all RAM filled with dirty pages which can lead to deadlocks
      and other nasty behaviour.
      
      This patch just tells the VM about the known holes from e820.  Reserved
      (like the kernel text or mem_map) is still not taken into account, but that
      should be only a few percent error now.
      
      Small detail is that the flat setup uses the NUMA free_area_init_node() now
      too because it offers more flexibility.
      
      (akpm: lotsa thanks to Martin for working this problem out)

      [PATCH] increase PCIBIOS_MIN_IO on x86 · 71db63ac
      Ivan Kokshaysky 提交于
      There is a number of x86 laptops that have some non-PCI IO ports
      in the 0x1000-0x1fff range, and it's quite hard to control the correct
      order of resource allocation between PCI and other subsystems controlling
      these ports. Especially with modular kernel.
      
      So just increase PCIBIOS_MIN_IO to 0x4000 to prevent any new PCI
      resource allocations in the problematic range (this limitation must
      apply _only_ to the root bus resources - see Linus' change in
      pci_bus_alloc_resource).  As PCIBIOS_MIN_IO and PCIBIOS_MIN_CARDBUS_IO
      are the same now on i386 and x86-64, we can remove the latter.

      [PATCH] PCI: DMA bursting advice · e24c2d96
      David S. Miller 提交于
      After seeing, at best, "guesses" as to the following kind
      of information in several drivers, I decided that we really
      need a way for platforms to specifically give advice in this
      area for what works best with their PCI controller implementation.
      
      Basically, this new interface gives DMA bursting advice on
      PCI.  There are three forms of the advice:
      
      1) Burst as much as possible, it is not necessary to end bursts
         on some particular boundary for best performance.
      
      2) Burst on some byte count multiple.  A DMA burst to some multiple of
         number of bytes may be done, but it is important to end the burst
         on an exact multiple for best performance.
      
         The best example of this I am aware of are the PPC64 PCI
         controllers, where if you end a burst mid-cacheline then
         chip has to refetch the data and the IOMMU translations
         which hurts performance a lot.
      
      3) Burst on a single byte count multiple.  Bursts shall end
         exactly on the next multiple boundary for best performance.
      
         Sparc64 and Alpha's PCI controllers operate this way.  They
         disconnect any device which tries to burst across a cacheline
         boundary.
      
         Actually, newer sparc64 PCI controllers do not have this behavior.
         That is why the "pdev" is passed into the interface, so I can
         add code later to check which PCI controller the system is using
         and give advice accordingly.

      [PATCH] seccomp: tsc disable · ffaa8bd6
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      I believe at least for seccomp it's worth to turn off the tsc, not just for
      HT but for the L2 cache too.  So it's up to you, either you turn it off
      completely (which isn't very nice IMHO) or I recommend to apply this below
      patch.
      
      This has been tested successfully on x86-64 against current cogito
      repository (i686 compiles so I didn't bother testing ;).  People selling
      the cpu through cpushare may appreciate this bit for a peace of mind.
      
      There's no way to get any timing info anymore with this applied
      (gettimeofday is forbidden of course).  The seccomp environment is
      completely deterministic so it can't be allowed to get timing info, it has
      to be deterministic so in the future I can enable a computing mode that
      does a parallel computing for each task with server side transparent
      checkpointing and verification that the output is the same from all the 2/3
      seller computers for each task, without the buyer even noticing (for now
      the verification is left to the buyer client side and there's no
      checkpointing, since that would require more kernel changes to track the
      dirty bits but it'll be easy to extend once the basic mode is finished).
      
      Eliminating a cold-cache read of the cr4 global variable will save one
      cacheline during the tlb flush while making the code per-cpu-safe at the
      same time.  Thanks to Mikael Pettersson for noticing the tlb flush wasn't
      per-cpu-safe.
      
      The global tlb flush can run from irq (IPI calling do_flush_tlb_all) but
      it'll be transparent to the switch_to code since the IPI won't make any
      change to the cr4 contents from the point of view of the interrupted code
      and since it's now all per-cpu stuff, it will not race.  So no need to
      disable irqs in switch_to slow path.

      [PATCH] Update cfq io scheduler to time sliced design · 22e2c507
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
      v3).  It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
      aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes.  It
      supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set
      directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls.  The latter closely mimic
      set/getpriority.
      
      This import is based on my latest from -mm.
