2009-09-23matroxfb: make CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y mandatoryJean Delvare
I would like to get rid of option CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD and just always enable it. There are many reasons for doing this: * CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y is what all x86 distributions do, so it definitely works or we would know by now. * Building the matroxfb driver with CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD not set results in the following build warning: drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c: In function 'matroxfb_dh_open': drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c:265: warning: the address of 'matroxfb_global_mxinfo' will always evaluate as 'true' drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c: In function 'matroxfb_dh_release': drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c:285: warning: the address of 'matroxfb_global_mxinfo' will always evaluate as 'true' This is nothing to be worried about, the driver will work fine, but build warnings are still annoying. * The trick to get multihead support without CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD, which is described in the config help text, no longer works: you can't load the same kernel module more than once. * I fail to see how CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y would make the code significantly slower, contrary to what the help text says. A few extra parameters on the stack here and there can't really slow things down in comaprison to the rest of the code, and register access. * The driver built without CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD is larger than the driver build with CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y by 8%. * One less configuration option makes things simpler. We add options all the time, being able to remove one for once is nice. It improves testing coverage. And I don't think the Matrox adapters are still popular enough to warrant overdetailed configuration settings. * We should be able to unobfuscate the driver code quite a bit after this change (patches follow.)

2009-09-23gpiolib: allow poll() on valueDaniel Glöckner
Many gpio chips allow to generate interrupts when the value of a pin changes. This patch gives usermode application the opportunity to make use of this feature by calling poll(2) on the /sys/class/gpio/gpioN/value sysfs file. The edge to trigger can be set in the edge file in the same directory. Possible values are "none", "rising", "falling", and "both". Using level triggers is not possible with current sysfs since nothing changes the GPIO value (and the IRQ keeps triggering). Edge triggering will "just work". Note that if there was an event between read() and poll(), the poll() returns immediately. Also note that this version only supports true GPIO interrupts. Some later patch might be able to synthesize this behavior by timer-driven polling; some systems seem to need that.

2009-09-23gpiolib: allow exported GPIO nodes to be named using sysfs linksJani Nikula
Commit 926b663ce8215ba448960e1ff6e58b67a2c3b99b (gpiolib: allow GPIOs to be named) already provides naming on the chip level. This patch provides more flexibility by allowing multiple names where ever in sysfs on a per GPIO basis.

2009-09-23rtc: add boot_timesource sysfs attributeMatthew Garrett
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS allows the kernel to read the system time from the RTC at boot and resume, avoiding the need for userspace to do so. Unfortunately userspace currently has no way to know whether this configuration option is enabled and thus cannot sensibly choose whether to run hwclock itself or not. Add a hctosys sysfs attribute which indicates whether a given RTC set the system clock.

2009-09-23procfs: provide stack information for threadsStefani Seibold
A patch to give a better overview of the userland application stack usage, especially for embedded linux. Currently you are only able to dump the main process/thread stack usage which is showed in /proc/pid/status by the "VmStk" Value. But you get no information about the consumed stack memory of the the threads. There is an enhancement in the /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/*maps and which marks the vm mapping where the thread stack pointer reside with "[thread stack xxxxxxxx]". xxxxxxxx is the maximum size of stack. This is a value information, because libpthread doesn't set the start of the stack to the top of the mapped area, depending of the pthread usage. A sample output of /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps looks like: 08048000-08049000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 8312 /opt/z 08049000-0804a000 rw-p 00001000 03:00 8312 /opt/z 0804a000-0806b000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] a7d12000-a7d13000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 a7d13000-a7f13000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [thread stack: 001ff4b4] a7f13000-a7f14000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 a7f14000-a7f36000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 a7f36000-a8069000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 4222 /lib/libc.so.6 a8069000-a806b000 r--p 00133000 03:00 4222 /lib/libc.so.6 a806b000-a806c000 rw-p 00135000 03:00 4222 /lib/libc.so.6 a806c000-a806f000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 a806f000-a8083000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 14462 /lib/libpthread.so.0 a8083000-a8084000 r--p 00013000 03:00 14462 /lib/libpthread.so.0 a8084000-a8085000 rw-p 00014000 03:00 14462 /lib/libpthread.so.0 a8085000-a8088000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 a8088000-a80a4000 r-xp 00000000 03:00 8317 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 a80a4000-a80a5000 r--p 0001b000 03:00 8317 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 a80a5000-a80a6000 rw-p 0001c000 03:00 8317 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 afaf5000-afb0a000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] ffffe000-fffff000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] Also there is a new entry "stack usage" in /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/status which will you give the current stack usage in kb.

CapBnd: fffffffffffffeff voluntary_ctxt_switches: 0 nonvoluntary_ctxt_switches: 0 Stack usage: 12 kB I also fixed stack base address in /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/stat to the base address of the associated thread stack and not the one of the main process.

2009-09-22mm: fix NUMA accounting in numastat.txtMinchan Kim
In Documentation/numastat.txt, it confused me. For example, there are nodes [0,1] in system. barrios:~$ cat /proc/zoneinfo | egrep 'numa|zone' Node 0, zone DMA numa_hit 33226 numa_miss 1739 numa_foreign 27978 .. .. Node 1, zone DMA numa_hit 307 numa_miss 46900 numa_foreign 0 1) In node 0, NUMA_MISS means it wanted to allocate page in node 1 but ended up with page in node 0 2) In node 0, NUMA_FOREIGN means it wanted to allocate page in node 0 but ended up with page from Node 1. But now, numastat explains it oppositely about (MISS, FOREIGN). Let's fix up with viewpoint of zone.

analysis with tracepoints The documentation for ftrace, events and tracepoints is pretty extensive. Similarly, the perf PCL tools help files --help are there and the code simple enough to figure out what much of the switches mean. However, pulling the discrete bits and pieces together and translating that into "how do I solve a problem" requires a fair amount of imagination.

2009-09-22tracing, page-allocator: add a postprocessing script for ↵Mel Gorman
page-allocator-related ftrace events This patch adds a simple post-processing script for the page-allocator-related trace events. It can be used to give an indication of who the most allocator-intensive processes are and how often the zone lock was taken during the tracing period. Example output looks like Process Pages Pages Pages Pages PCPU PCPU PCPU Fragment Fragment MigType Fragment Fragment Unknown details allocd allocd freed freed pages drains refills Fallback Causing Changed Severe Moderate under lock direct pagevec drain swapper-0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Xorg-3770 10603 5952 3685 6978 5996 194 192 0 0 0 0 0 0 modprobe-21397 51 0 0 86 31 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 xchat-5370 228 93 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 awesome-4317 32 32 0 0 0 0 32 0 0 0 0 0 0 thinkfan-3863 2 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 hald-addon-stor-3935 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 akregator-4506 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 xmms-14888 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 khelper-12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Optionally, the output can include information on the parent or aggregate based on process name instead of aggregating based on each pid. Example output including parent information and stripped out the PID looks something like; Process Pages Pages Pages Pages PCPU PCPU PCPU Fragment Fragment MigType Fragment Fragment Unknown details allocd allocd freed freed pages drains refills Fallback Causing Changed Severe Moderate under lock direct pagevec drain gdm-3756 :: Xorg-3770 3796 2976 99 3813 3224 104 98 0 0 0 0 0 0 init-1 :: hald-3892 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 git-21447 :: editor-21448 4 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 This says that Xorg allocated 3796 pages and it's parent process is gdm with a PID of 3756; The postprocessor parses the text output of tracing. While there is a binary format, the expectation is that the binary output can be readily translated into text and post-processed offline. Obviously if the text format changes, the parser will break but the regular expression parser is fairly rudimentary so should be readily adjustable.

2009-09-22pagemap clear_refs: modify to specify anon or mapped vma clearingMoussa A. Ba
The patch makes the clear_refs more versatile in adding the option to select anonymous pages or file backed pages for clearing. This addition has a measurable impact on user space application performance as it decreases the number of pagewalks in scenarios where one is only interested in a specific type of page (anonymous or file mapped). The patch adds anonymous and file backed filters to the clear_refs interface. echo 1 > /proc/PID/clear_refs resets the bits on all pages echo 2 > /proc/PID/clear_refs resets the bits on anonymous pages only echo 3 > /proc/PID/clear_refs resets the bits on file backed pages only Any other value is ignored Signed-off-by: Moussa A.
