2006-09-01[PATCH] Fix faulty HPET clocksource usage (fix for bug #7062)john stultz
Apparently some systems export valid HPET addresses, but hpet_enable() fails. Then when the HPET clocksource starts up, it only checks for a valid HPET address, and the result is a system where time does not advance. See http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7062 for details. This patch just makes sure we better check that the HPET is functional before registering the HPET clocksource.

2006-09-01[PATCH] ZVC: Scale thresholds depending on the size of the systemChristoph Lameter
The ZVC counter update threshold is currently set to a fixed value of 32. This patch sets up the threshold depending on the number of processors and the sizes of the zones in the system. With the current threshold of 32, I was able to observe slight contention when more than 130-140 processors concurrently updated the counters. The contention vanished when I either increased the threshold to 64 or used Andrew's idea of overstepping the interval (see ZVC overstep patch). However, we saw contention again at 220-230 processors. So we need higher values for larger systems. But the current default is already a bit of an overkill for smaller systems. Some systems have tiny zones where precision matters. For example i386 and x86_64 have 16M DMA zones and either 900M ZONE_NORMAL or ZONE_DMA32. These are even present on SMP and NUMA systems. The patch here sets up a threshold based on the number of processors in the system and the size of the zone that these counters are used for. The threshold should grow logarithmically, so we use fls() as an easy approximation. Results of tests on a system with 1024 processors (4TB RAM) The following output is from a test allocating 1GB of memory concurrently on each processor (Forking the process. So contention on mmap_sem and the pte locks is not a factor): X MIN TYPE: CPUS WALL WALL SYS USER TOTCPU fork 1 0.552 0.552 0.540 0.012 0.552 fork 4 0.552 0.548 2.164 0.036 2.200 fork 16 0.564 0.548 8.812 0.164 8.976 fork 128 0.580 0.572 72.204 1.208 73.412 fork 256 1.300 0.660 310.400 2.160 312.560 fork 512 3.512 0.696 1526.836 4.816 1531.652 fork 1020 20.024 0.700 17243.176 6.688 17249.863 So a threshold of 32 is fine up to 128 processors. At 256 processors contention becomes a factor. Overstepping the counter (earlier patch) improves the numbers a bit: fork 4 0.552 0.548 2.164 0.040 2.204 fork 16 0.552 0.548 8.640 0.148 8.788 fork 128 0.556 0.548 69.676 0.956 70.632 fork 256 0.876 0.636 212.468 2.108 214.576 fork 512 2.276 0.672 997.324 4.260 1001.584 fork 1020 13.564 0.680 11586.436 6.088 11592.523 Still contention at 512 and 1020. Contention at 1020 is down by a third. 256 still has a slight bit of contention.

2006-09-01[PATCH] ZVC: Overstep countersChristoph Lameter
Increments and decrements are usually grouped rather than mixed. We can optimize the inc and dec functions for that case. Increment and decrement the counters by 50% more than the threshold in those cases and set the differential accordingly. This decreases the need to update the atomic counters. The idea came originally from Andrew Morton. The overstepping alone was sufficient to address the contention issue found when updating the global and the per zone counters from 160 processors. Also remove some code in dec_zone_page_state. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

It is supposed to be OK to call mthca_create_ah() and mthca_destroy_ah() from any context. However, for mem-full HCAs, these functions use the mthca_alloc() and mthca_free() bitmap helpers, and those helpers use non-IRQ-safe spin_lock() internally.

As a result the new chipset is now out and Linux won't run on it. By the time 2.6.18 is finalised this will be the defacto standard VIA chipset so support would be a good plan.

Further, the stack pointer retrieval for the fallback should be as restrictive as possible (in order to avoid having the legacy stack tracer try to access invalid memory). The patch tightens that, but this could certainly be further improved. Also making the call_trace command line option now conditional upon CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND (as it's meaningless otherwise).

2006-08-30[PATCH] x86: Revert e820 MCFG heuristicsAndi Kleen
The check for the MCFG table being reserved in the e820 map was originally added to detect a broken BIOS in a preproduction Intel SDV. However it also breaks the Apple x86 Macs, which can't supply this properly, but need a working MCFG. With this patch they wouldn't use the MCFG and not work. After some discussion I think it's best to remove the heuristic again. It also failed on some other boxes (although it didn't cause much problems there because old style port access for PCI config space still works as fallback), but the preproduction SDVs can just use pci=nommcfg. Supporting production machines properly is more important. Edgar Hucek did all the debugging work.

However, both it and the arch/powerpc version have another problem, which is that they use local_irq_disable/enable rather than local_irq_save/restore, and they are called with interrupts disabled.

2006-08-30[POWERPC] Fix problem with time not advancing on 32-bit platformsPaul Mackerras
This fixes a problem introduced in 5db9fa9593e2ff69f2b95f9d59229dc4faaa564d. The last_jiffy per-cpu variable is only 32 bits on 32-bit machines, but it was being compared with a 64-bit quantity (tb_next_jiffy), which resulted in time not advancing. This fixes it by changing last_jiffy to be 64 bits on all platforms. With this, we no longer need tb_last_stamp as a 32-bit version of tb_last_jiffy, so this gets rid of tb_last_stamp and we just use tb_last_jiffy instead. This also fixes a bug when the boot cpu is not online, because using tb_last_stamp could have caused the wrong timebase origin value to be used when calculating the time of day.

The powerpc PCI code can then trigger a fallback that works on those machines. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-08-30[POWERPC] Support for "weird" MPICs and fixup mpc7448_hpc2Zang Roy-r61911
This adds a new hardware information table for mpic. This enables the mpic code to deal with mpic controllers with different register layouts and hardware behaviours. This introduces CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD. For boards with non standard mpic controllers, select CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD and add its hardware information in the mpic_infos[] array. TSI108/109 PIC takes the first index of weird hardware information table. :) The table can be extended. The Tsi108/109 PIC looks like standard OpenPIC but, in fact, is different in register mapping and behavior. The patch does not affect the behavior of standard mpic. If CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD is not defined, the code is essentially identical to the current code. [benh@kernel.crashing.org: This patch is a slightly cleaned up version of Zang Roy's support for the TSI108 MPIC variant. It also fixes up MPC7448_hpc2 to use the new version of the type macros and changes the way MPIC is selected in Kconfig to better match what is done for other system devices. ] Signed-off-by: Roy Zang <tie-fei.zang@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-08-29[SUNLANCE]: Fix probing problem.Krzysztof Helt
The current probe table causes ledma and lebuffer "le" devices to get probed twice which is not what we want. Match just "le" and look directly at the parent to get the correct top-level node information. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@wp.pl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-08-29[SPARC64]: Fix X server hangs due to large pages.David S. Miller
This problem was introduced by changeset 14778d9072e53d2171f66ffd9657daff41acfaed Unlike the hugetlb code paths, the normal fault code is not setup to propagate PTE changes for large page sizes correctly like the ones we make for I/O mappings in io_remap_pfn_range(). It is absolutely necessary to update all sub-ptes of a largepage mapping on a fault. Adding special handling for this would add considerably complexity to tlb_batch_add(). So let's just side-step the issue and forcefully dirty any writable PTEs created by io_remap_pfn_range(). The only other real option would be to disable to large PTE code of io_remap_pfn_range() and we really don't want to do that. Much thanks to Mikael Pettersson for tracking down this problem and testing debug patches. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
