2007-12-02sched: cpu accounting controller (V2)Srivatsa Vaddagiri
Commit cfb5285660aad4931b2ebbfa902ea48a37dfffa1 removed a useful feature for us, which provided a cpu accounting resource controller. This feature would be useful if someone wants to group tasks only for accounting purpose and doesnt really want to exercise any control over their cpu consumption. The patch below reintroduces the feature. It is based on Paul Menage's original patch (Commit 62d0df64065e7c135d0002f069444fbdfc64768f), with these differences: - Removed load average information. I felt it needs more thought (esp to deal with SMP and virtualized platforms) and can be added for 2.6.25 after more discussions. - Convert group cpu usage to be nanosecond accurate (as rest of the cfs stats are) and invoke cpuacct_charge() from the respective scheduler classes - Make accounting scalable on SMP systems by splitting the usage counter to be per-cpu - Move the code from kernel/cpu_acct.c to kernel/sched.c (since the code is not big enough to warrant a new file and also this rightly needs to live inside the scheduler. Also things like accessing rq->lock while reading cpu usage becomes easier if the code lived in kernel/sched.c) The patch also modifies the cpu controller not to provide the same accounting information. Tested-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested the patches on top of 2.6.24-rc3. The patches work fine. Ran some simple tests like cpuspin (spin on the cpu), ran several tasks in the same group and timed them. Compared their time stamps with cpuacct.usage.

2007-11-30Fix kmem_cache_free performance regression in slabMatthew Wilcox
The database performance group have found that half the cycles spent in kmem_cache_free are spent in this one call to BUG_ON. Moving it into the CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG-only function cache_free_debugcheck() is a performance win of almost 0.5% on their particular benchmark. The call was added as part of commit ddc2e812d592457747c4367fb73edcaa8e1e49ff with the comment that "overhead should be minimal". It may have been minimal at the time, but it isn't now.

2007-11-29x86/paravirt: revert exports to restore old behaviourJeremy Fitzhardinge
Subdividing the paravirt_ops structure caused a regression in certain non-GPL modules which try to use mmu_ops and cpu_ops. This restores the old behaviour, and makes it consistent with the non-CONFIG_PARAVIRT case. Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> adds: > I took at this problem (as I have an nvidia card on one of my > workstations), and found out that the following suffer from > EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL changes: > > * local_disable_irq(), local_irq_save*(), etc. > * MSR-related macros like rdmsr(), wrmsr(), read_cr0(), etc. > wbinvd(), too. > * pmd_val(), pgd_val(), etc are all involved with pv_mm_ops. > pmd_large() and pmd_bad() is also indirectly involved. > __flush_tlb() and friends suffer, too. Christoph Hellwig objects to this patch on the grounds that modules shouldn't be using these operations anyway. I don't think this is a particularly good reason to reject the patch, for several reasons: 1. These operations are still available to modules when not using CONFIG_PARAVIRT, since they are implicitly exported as inline functions via the kernel headers. Exporting the same functionality as GPL-only symbols just adds a gratuitious difference between CONFIG_PARAVIRT and non-CONFIG_PARAVIRT configurations. If we really think these operations are not for module use (or non-GPL module use), then we should solve the problem in a general way. 2. It's a regression from previous kernels, which would work these modules even with CONFIG_PARAVIRT enabled. 3. The operations in question seem pretty reasonable for modules to use. The control registers/MSRs can be accessed directly anyway, so there's no benefit in preventing modules from using standard interfaces. And it seems reasonable to allow a graphics driver to create its own mappings if it wants. Therefore, I think this patch should go in for 2.6.24. If people really think that these operations should not be available to modules, then we can address that separately.

2007-11-29ACPI: avoid references to impossible processors.Christoph Lameter
ACPI uses NR_CPUS in various loops and in some it accesses per cpu data of processors that are not present(!) and that will never be present. The pointers to per cpu data are typically not initialized for processors that are not present. So we seem to be reading something here from offset 0 in memory. Make ACPI use nr_cpu_ids instead. That stops at the end of the possible processors. Convert one loop to NR_CPUS to use the cpu_possible map instead. That way ranges of processor that can never be brought online are skipped during the loop.

2007-11-29wait_task_stopped(): pass correct exit_code to wait_noreap_copyout()Scott James Remnant
In wait_task_stopped() exit_code already contains the right value for the si_status member of siginfo, and this is simply set in the non WNOWAIT case. If you call waitid() with a stopped or traced process, you'll get the signal in siginfo.si_status as expected -- however if you call waitid(WNOWAIT) at the same time, you'll get the signal << 8 | 0x7f Pass it unchanged to wait_noreap_copyout(); we would only need to shift it and add 0x7f if we were returning it in the user status field and that isn't used for any function that permits WNOWAIT.

2007-11-29FRV: arrange things such that BRA can reach from the trap tableDavid Howells
Arrange the sections in the FRV arch so that a BRA instruction with a 16-bit displacement can always reach from the trap table to entry.S, tlb-miss.S and break.S. The problem otherwise is that the linker can insert sufficient code between the slots in the trap table and the targets of the branch instructions in those slots that the displacement field in the instruction isn't sufficiently large. This is because the branch targets were in the .text section along with most of the other code in the kernel.

2007-11-29x86_64 EFI boot support: EFI frame buffer driverHuang, Ying
This patch adds Graphics Output Protocol support to the kernel. UEFI2.0 spec deprecates Universal Graphics Adapter (UGA) protocol and only Graphics Output Protocol (GOP) is produced. Therefore, the boot loader needs to query the UEFI firmware with appropriate Output Protocol and pass the video information to the kernel. As a result of GOP protocol, an EFI framebuffer driver is needed for displaying console messages. The patch adds a EFI framebuffer driver. The EFI frame buffer driver in this patch is based on the Intel Mac framebuffer driver. The ELILO bootloader takes care of passing the video information as appropriate for EFI firmware. The framebuffer driver has been tested in i386 kernel and x86_64 kernel on EFI platform.

2007-11-29uml: fix !NO_HZ busy-loopJeff Dike
With NO_HZ disabled, the UML idle loop effectively becomes a busy loop, as it will sleep for no time. The cause was forgetting to restart the tick after waking up from sleep. It was disabled before sleeping, and the remaining time used as the interval to sleep. So, the tick needs to be restarted when nanosleep finishes. This is done by introducing after_sleep_interval, which is empty in the NO_HZ case, but which sets the tick starting in the !NO_HZ case.

The box has no HiSax card installed. the reason for the crash is add_timer() done on an already running timer.

2007-11-29file capabilities: don't prevent signaling setuid root programsSerge E. Hallyn
An unprivileged process must be able to kill a setuid root program started by the same user. This is legacy behavior needed for instance for xinit to kill X when the window manager exits. When an unprivileged user runs a setuid root program in !SECURE_NOROOT mode, fP, fI, and fE are set full on, so pP' and pE' are full on. Then cap_task_kill() prevents the user from signaling the setuid root task. This is a change in behavior compared to when !CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES. This patch introduces a special check into cap_task_kill() just to check whether a non-root user is signaling a setuid root program started by the same user. If so, then signal is allowed.

2007-11-29dmaengine: correct invalid assumptions in the Kconfig textHaavard Skinnemoen
This patch corrects recently changed (and now invalid) Kconfig descriptions for the DMA engine framework: - Non-Intel(R) hardware also has DMA engines; - DMA is used for more than memcpy and RAID offloading. In fact, on most platforms memcpy and RAID aren't factors, and DMA exists so that peripherals can transfer data to/from memory while the CPU does other work.

2007-11-29atmel_lcdfb: LCDC startup fixAnti Sullin
This patch adds an additional loop, that delays turning off the DMA until the LCDC core has been turned off. This prevents the picture to be shifted some random length when the kernel re-initializes the LCDC. Without this patch, the LCDC keeps running for some small time after the PWRCON:LCD_PWR has been cleared ; the FIFO suffers an underrun and on re-starting the LCDC the FIFO data stays shifted. This behavior has been seen and fixed on AT91SAM9261-EK and two custom AT91SAM9261 boards, all of them having different LCD panels. Thanks a lot to Anti Sullin for submitting this patch (long time ago).

2007-11-29The namespaces compatibility list docPavel Emelyanov
People discuss how the namespaces are working/going-to-work together. Ted Ts'o proposed to create some document that describes what problems user may have when he/she creates some new namespace, but keeps others shared. I liked this idea, so here's the initial version of such a document with the problems I currently have in mind and can describe somewhat audibly - the "namespaces compatibility list". The Documentation/namespaces/ directory is about to contain more docs about the namespaces stuff. Thanks to Cedirc for notes and spell checks on the doc, to Daniel for additional info about IPC and User namespaces interaction and to Randy, who alluded me to using a spell checker before sending the documentation :) Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Cc: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> Cc: Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: Cedric Le Goater <clg@fr.ibm.com> Cc: "Eric W.

2007-11-29Isolate the UTS namespace's domainname and hostname backPavel Emelyanov
Commit 7d69a1f4a72b18876c99c697692b78339d491568 ("remove CONFIG_UTS_NS and CONFIG_IPC_NS") by Cedric Le Goater accidentally removed the code that prevented the uts->hostname and uts->domainname values from being overwritten from another namespace. In other words, setting hostname/domainname via sysfs (echo xxx > /proc/sys/kernel/(host|domain)name) cased the new value to be set in init UTS namespace only. Return the isolation back.
