2006-10-01[PATCH] csa accounting taskstats updateJay Lan1-0/+161
ChangeLog: Feedbacks from Andrew Morton: - define TS_COMM_LEN to 32 - change acct_stimexpd field of task_struct to be of cputime_t, which is to be used to save the tsk->stime of last timer interrupt update. - a new Documentation/accounting/taskstats-struct.txt to describe fields of taskstats struct. Feedback from Balbir Singh: - keep the stime of a task to be zero when both stime and utime are zero as recoreded in task_struct.

2006-10-01[PATCH] Fix getdelays.c - cpumask length and error reportingBalbir Singh1-3/+4
Fix the length passed while (un)registering cpumask. We were passing sizeof the array, make it strlen(). Error value printed in fatal errors should be derived from the message. The message contains an nlmsgerr embedded with an error value. We must report that value to the user.

2006-09-29[PATCH] cpuset: top_cpuset tracks hotplug changes to node_online_mapPaul Jackson1-5/+5
Change the list of memory nodes allowed to tasks in the top (root) nodeset to dynamically track what cpus are online, using a call to a cpuset hook from the memory hotplug code. Make this top cpus file read-only. On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset. If that system does support memory hotplug, then these tasks cannot make use of memory nodes that are added after system boot, because the memory nodes are not allowed in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression over earlier kernels that didn't have cpusets enabled. One key motivation for this change is to remain consistent with the behaviour for the top_cpuset's 'cpus', which is also read-only, and which automatically tracks the cpu_online_map. This change also has the minor benefit that it fixes a long standing, little noticed, minor bug in cpusets. The cpuset performance tweak to short circuit the cpuset_zone_allowed() check on systems with just a single cpuset (see 'number_of_cpusets', in linux/cpuset.h) meant that simply changing the 'mems' of the top_cpuset had no affect, even though the change (the write system call) appeared to succeed. With the following change, that write to the 'mems' file fails -EACCES, and the 'mems' file stubbornly refuses to be changed via user space writes. Thus no one should be mislead into thinking they've changed the top_cpusets's 'mems' when in affect they haven't. In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes the behaviour of the 'mems' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read only, and making it automatically track the value of node_online_map. Thus tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged memory nodes allowed by their cpuset.

2006-09-27USB: Dealias -110 code (more complete)Pete Zaitcev1-7/+4
The purpose of this patch is to split off the case when a device does not reply on the lower level (which is reported by HC hardware), and a case when the device accepted the request, but does not reply at upper level. This redefinition allows to diagnose issues easier, without asking the user if the -110 happened "immediately". The usbmon splits such cases already thanks to its timestamp, but it's not always available. I adjusted all drivers which I found affected (by searching for "urb"). Out of tree drivers may suffer a little bit, but I do not expect much breakage. At worst they may print a few messages.

This option can be used by drivers to know that user forcibly wants the devices to be reset during initialization. This option can be useful while kernel is booting in unreliable environment. For ex. during kdump boot where devices are in unknown random state and BIOS execution has been skipped.

2006-09-27[PATCH] NOMMU: Make futexes work under NOMMU conditionsDavid Howells1-0/+10
Make futexes work under NOMMU conditions. This can be tested by running this in one shell: #define SYSERROR(X, Y) \ do { if ((long)(X) == -1L) { perror(Y); exit(1); }} while(0) int main() { int shmid, tmp, *f, n; shmid = shmget(23, 4, IPC_CREAT|0666); SYSERROR(shmid, "shmget"); f = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0); SYSERROR(f, "shmat"); n = *f; printf("WAIT: %p{%x}\n", f, n); tmp = futex(f, FUTEX_WAIT, n, NULL, NULL, 0); SYSERROR(tmp, "futex"); printf("WAITED: %d\n", tmp); tmp = shmdt(f); SYSERROR(tmp, "shmdt"); exit(0); } And then this in the other shell: #define SYSERROR(X, Y) \ do { if ((long)(X) == -1L) { perror(Y); exit(1); }} while(0) int main() { int shmid, tmp, *f; shmid = shmget(23, 4, IPC_CREAT|0666); SYSERROR(shmid, "shmget"); f = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0); SYSERROR(f, "shmat"); (*f)++; printf("WAKE: %p{%x}\n", f, *f); tmp = futex(f, FUTEX_WAKE, 1, NULL, NULL, 0); SYSERROR(tmp, "futex"); printf("WOKE: %d\n", tmp); tmp = shmdt(f); SYSERROR(tmp, "shmdt"); exit(0); } The first program will set up a SYSV IPC SHM segment and wait on a futex in it for the number at the start to change. The program will increment that number and wake the first program up. This leads to output of the form: SHELL 1 SHELL 2 ======================= ======================= # /dowait WAIT: 0xc32ac000{0} # /dowake WAKE: 0xc32ac000{1} WAITED: 0 WOKE: 1 Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-09-26[PATCH] zone_reclaim: dynamic slab reclaimChristoph Lameter1-7/+20
Currently one can enable slab reclaim by setting an explicit option in /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode. Slab reclaim is then used as a final option if the freeing of unmapped file backed pages is not enough to free enough pages to allow a local allocation. However, that means that the slab can grow excessively and that most memory of a node may be used by slabs. We have had a case where a machine with 46GB of memory was using 40-42GB for slab. Zone reclaim was effective in dealing with pagecache pages. However, slab reclaim was only done during global reclaim (which is a bit rare on NUMA systems). This patch implements slab reclaim during zone reclaim. Zone reclaim occurs if there is a danger of an off node allocation. At that point we 1. Shrink the per node page cache if the number of pagecache pages is more than min_unmapped_ratio percent of pages in a zone. 2. Shrink the slab cache if the number of the nodes reclaimable slab pages (patch depends on earlier one that implements that counter) are more than min_slab_ratio (a new /proc/sys/vm tunable). The shrinking of the slab cache is a bit problematic since it is not node specific. So we simply calculate what point in the slab we want to reach (current per node slab use minus the number of pages that neeed to be allocated) and then repeately run the global reclaim until that is unsuccessful or we have reached the limit. I hope we will have zone based slab reclaim at some point which will make that easier. The default for the min_slab_ratio is 5% Also remove the slab option from /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode.

Software I2C were using a very conservative value of udelay=16, meaning about 20Kbps. According with Philips I2C datasheet, the i2c should answer well for times at the order of 4.7 us. So, using udelay=5 should work for all devices. After this patch, the speed should be close to 66,67 Kbps, with the current kernel software bitbang, with 30/60 duty cycle. Anyway, added a new parameter (i2c_udelay) that would allow using conservative values, if eventually a hardware doesn't support the datasheet values.

2006-09-26[PATCH] x86: Allow disabling early pci scans with pci=noearly or disallowing ↵Andi Kleen1-1/+5
conf1 Some buggy systems can machine check when config space accesses happen for some non existent devices. i386/x86-64 do some early device scans that might trigger this. Allow pci=noearly to disable this. Also when type 1 is disabling also don't do any early accesses which are always type1. This moves the pci= configuration parsing to be a early parameter. I don't think this can break anything because it only changes a single global that is only used by PCI.

This has been discussed on dccp@vger and removes the necessity for applications to supply service codes in each and every case. If an application does not want to provide a service code, that's fine, it will be given 0. Otherwise, service codes can be set via socket options as before. This patch has been tested using various client/server configurations (including listening on multiple service codes).

2006-09-19Revert mmiocfg heuristics and blacklist changesLinus Torvalds1-2/+0
This reverts commits 11012d419cfc0e0f78ca356aca03674217910124 and 40dd2d20f220eda1cd0da8ea3f0f9db8971ba237, which allowed us to use the MMIO accesses for PCI config cycles even without the area being marked reserved in the e820 memory tables. Those changes were needed for EFI-environment Intel macs, but broke some newer Intel 965 boards, so for now it's better to revert to our old 2.6.17 behaviour and at least avoid introducing any new breakage. Andi Kleen has a set of patches that work with both EFI and the broken Intel 965 boards, which will be applied once they get wider testing.

2006-08-27[PATCH] cpuset: top_cpuset tracks hotplug changes to cpu_online_mapPaul Jackson1-0/+6
Change the list of cpus allowed to tasks in the top (root) cpuset to dynamically track what cpus are online, using a CPU hotplug notifier. Make this top cpus file read-only. On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset. If that system does support CPU hotplug, then these tasks cannot make use of CPUs that are added after system boot, because the CPUs are not allowed in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression over earlier kernels that didn't have cpusets enabled. In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes the behaviour of the 'cpus' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read only, and making it automatically track the value of cpu_online_map. Thus tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged CPUs allowed by their cpuset.

2006-07-31[CPUFREQ] return error when failing to set minfreqMattia Dongili1-1/+4
I just stumbled on this bug/feature, this is how to reproduce it: # echo 450000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq # echo 450000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq # echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor # cpufreq-info -p 450000 450000 powersave # echo 1800000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq ; echo $? 0 # cpufreq-info -p 450000 450000 powersave Here it is. The kernel refuses to set a min_freq higher than the max_freq but it allows a max_freq lower than min_freq (lowering min_freq also). This behaviour is pretty straightforward (but undocumented) and it doesn't return an error altough failing to accomplish the requested action (set min_freq). The problem (IMO) is basically that userspace is not allowed to set a full policy atomically while the kernel always does that thus it must enforce an ordering on operations. The attached patch returns -EINVAL if trying to increase frequencies starting from scaling_min_freq and documents the correct ordering of writes.

2006-07-31[PATCH] vDSO hash-style fixRoland McGrath1-0/+14
The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and dynamically-linked executables. The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces ".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the dynamic linker. The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both. In some new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash". The new ".gnu.hash" sections need to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the dynamic linker cares about their contents. To work with older dynamic linkers (i.e. preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old ".hash" section. The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can still handle. The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO images for the kernel. On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed. This patch addresses the problem in two ways. First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash". This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools), with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both. Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced. This is the most conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland. There is some concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries. The optimizations provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has. If someone wants to use =gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will make any choice work fine.

This is a complementary network driver for our ISP4XXX parts. There is a concurrent effort underway to get the iSCSI driver (qla4xxx) integrated upstream as well. I have been through several iterations with the linux-netdev list and have had much response from Stephen Hemminger. - Built and tested using kernel 2.6.17-rc4. - The chip supports two ethernet and two iSCSI functions. - The functions ql_sem_lock, ql_sem_spinlock, ql_sem_unlock, and ql_wait_for_drvr_lock are used to protect resources that are shared across the network and iSCSI functions. This protection is mostly during chip initialization and resets, but also include link management. - The PHY/MII are not exported through ethtool due to the fact that the iSCSI function will control the common link at least 50% of the time. This driver has been through several iterations on the netdev list and we feel this driver is ready for inclusion in the upstream kernel. It has been built and tested on x86 and PPC64 platforms.

2006-07-14[PATCH] delay accounting taskstats interface send tgid onceShailabh Nagar2-29/+17
Send per-tgid data only once during exit of a thread group instead of once with each member thread exit. Currently, when a thread exits, besides its per-tid data, the per-tgid data of its thread group is also sent out, if its thread group is non-empty. The per-tgid data sent consists of the sum of per-tid stats for all *remaining* threads of the thread group. This patch modifies this sending in two ways: - the per-tgid data is sent only when the last thread of a thread group exits. This cuts down heavily on the overhead of sending/receiving per-tgid data, especially when other exploiters of the taskstats interface aren't interested in per-tgid stats - the semantics of the per-tgid data sent are changed. Instead of being the sum of per-tid data for remaining threads, the value now sent is the true total accumalated statistics for all threads that are/were part of the thread group. The patch also addresses a minor issue where failure of one accounting subsystem to fill in the taskstats structure was causing the send of taskstats to not be sent at all. The patch has been tested for stability and run cerberus for over 4 hours on an SMP.

This patch creates the interface without populating the fields of the data that is sent to the user in response to a command or upon the exit of a task. Each accounting package interested in using taskstats has to provide an additional patch to add its stats to the common structure.

2006-07-14[PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: setupShailabh Nagar1-0/+2
Initialization code related to collection of per-task "delay" statistics which measure how long it had to wait for cpu, sync block io, swapping etc. The collection of statistics and the interface are in other patches. This patch sets up the data structures and allows the statistics collection to be disabled through a kernel boot parameter.

2006-07-14[PATCH] Remove pci_dac_set_dma_mask() from Documentation/DMA-mapping.txtRolf Eike Beer1-4/+4
pci_dac_set_dma_mask() gives only a single match in the whole kernel tree and that's in this doc file. The best candidate for replacement is pci_dac_dma_supported().
