2006-06-26[PATCH] Notify page fault call chain for i386Anil S Keshavamurthy
Overloading of page fault notification with the notify_die() has performance issues(since the only interested components for page fault is kprobes and/or kdb) and hence this patch introduces the new notifier call chain exclusively for page fault notifications their by avoiding notifying unnecessary components in the do_page_fault() code path.

2006-06-26[PATCH] Kprobe: multi kprobe posthandler for boostermao, bibo
If there are multi kprobes on the same probepoint, there will be one extra aggr_kprobe on the head of kprobe list. The aggr_kprobe has aggr_post_handler/aggr_break_handler whether the other kprobe post_hander/break_handler is NULL or not. This patch modifies this, only when there is one or more kprobe in the list whose post_handler is not NULL, post_handler of aggr_kprobe will be set as aggr_post_handler.

As part of the i386 conversion to the generic timekeeping infrastructure, this introduces a new tsc.c file. The code in this file replaces the TSC initialization, management and access code currently in timer_tsc.c (which will be removed) that we want to preserve. The code also introduces the following functionality: o tsc_khz: like cpu_khz but stores the TSC frequency on systems that do not change TSC frequency w/ CPU frequency o check/mark_tsc_unstable: accessor/modifier flag for TSC timekeeping usability o minor cleanups to calibration math.

2006-06-25[PATCH] Make copy_from_user_inatomic NOT zero the tail on i386NeilBrown
As described in a previous patch and documented in mm/filemap.h, copy_from_user_inatomic* shouldn't zero out the tail of the buffer after an incomplete copy. This patch implements that change for i386. For the _nocache version, a new __copy_user_intel_nocache is defined similar to copy_user_zeroio_intel_nocache, and this is ultimately used for the copy. For the regular version, __copy_from_user_ll_nozero is defined which uses __copy_user and __copy_user_intel - the later needs casts to reposition the __user annotations. If copy_from_user_atomic is given a constant length of 1, 2, or 4, then we do still zero the destintion on failure. This didn't seem worth the effort of fixing as the places where it is used really don't care.

2006-06-25[PATCH] Clean up and refactor i386 sub-architecture setupJeremy Fitzhardinge
Clean up and refactor i386 sub-architecture setup. This change moves all the code from the asm-i386/mach-*/setup_arch_pre/post.h headers, into arch/i386/mach-*/setup.c. mach-*/setup_arch_pre.h is renamed to setup_arch.h, and contains only things which should be in header files. It is purely code-motion; there should be no functional changes at all. Several functions in arch/i386/kernel/setup.c needed to be made non-static so that they're visible to the code in mach-*/setup.c. asm-i386/setup.h is used to hold the prototypes for these functions.

2006-06-25[PATCH] mm: remove VM_LOCKED before remap_pfn_range and drop VM_SHMChristoph Lameter
Remove VM_LOCKED before remap_pfn range from device drivers and get rid of VM_SHM. remap_pfn_range() already sets VM_IO. There is no need to set VM_SHM since it does nothing. VM_LOCKED is of no use since the remap_pfn_range does not place pages on the LRU. The pages are therefore never subject to swap anyways. Remove all the vm_flags settings before calling remap_pfn_range. After removing all the vm_flag settings no use of VM_SHM is left. Drop it.

2006-06-23[PATCH] x86: kernel irq balance doesn't workZhang Yanmin
On i386, kernel irq balance doesn't work. 1) In function do_irq_balance, after kernel finds the min_loaded cpu but before calling set_pending_irq to really pin the selected_irq to the target cpu, kernel does a cpus_and with irq_affinity[selected_irq]. Later on, when the irq is acked, kernel would calls move_native_irq=>desc->handler->set_affinity to change the irq affinity. However, every function pointed by hw_interrupt_type->set_affinity(unsigned int irq, cpumask_t cpumask) always changes irq_affinity[irq] to cpumask. Next time when recalling do_irq_balance, it has to do cpu_ands again with irq_affinity[selected_irq], but irq_affinity[selected_irq] already becomes one cpu selected by the first irq balance. 2) Function balance_irq in file arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c has the same issue.

2006-06-23[PATCH] i386: break out of recursion in stackframe walkIngo Molnar
If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS is enabled, and one does a dump_stack() during early SMP init, an infinite stackdump and a bootup hang happens: [<c0104e7f>] show_trace+0xd/0xf [<c0104e96>] dump_stack+0x15/0x17 [<c01440df>] save_trace+0xc3/0xce [<c014527d>] mark_lock+0x8c/0x4fe [<c0145df5>] __lockdep_acquire+0x44e/0xaa5 [<c0146798>] lockdep_acquire+0x68/0x84 [<c1048699>] _spin_lock+0x21/0x2f [<c010d918>] prepare_set+0xd/0x5d [<c010daa8>] generic_set_all+0x1d/0x201 [<c010ca9a>] mtrr_ap_init+0x23/0x3b [<c010ada8>] identify_cpu+0x2a7/0x2af [<c01192a7>] smp_store_cpu_info+0x2f/0xb4 [<c01197d0>] start_secondary+0xb5/0x3ec [<c104ec11>] end_of_stack_stop_unwind_function+0x1/0x4 [<c104ec11>] end_of_stack_stop_unwind_function+0x1/0x4 [<c104ec11>] end_of_stack_stop_unwind_function+0x1/0x4 [<c104ec11>] end_of_stack_stop_unwind_function+0x1/0x4 [<c104ec11>] end_of_stack_stop_unwind_function+0x1/0x4 [<c104ec11>] end_of_stack_stop_unwind_function+0x1/0x4 [<c104ec11>] end_of_stack_stop_unwind_function+0x1/0x4 [<c104ec11>] end_of_stack_stop_unwind_function+0x1/0x4 [...] Due to "end_of_stack_stop_unwind_function" recursing back to itself in the EBP stackframe-walker. So avoid this type of recursion when walking the stack . Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-06-23[PATCH] fix x86 microcode driver handling of multiple matching revisionsJan Beulich
When multiple updates matching a given CPU are found in the update file, the action taken by the microcode update driver was inappropriate: - when lower revision microcode was found before matching or higher revision one, the driver would needlessly complain that it would not downgrade the CPU - when microcode matching the currently installed revision was found before newer revision code, no update would actually take place To change this behavior, the driver now concludes about possibly updates and issues messages only when the entire input was parsed. Additionally, this adds back (in different places, and conditionalized upon a new module option) some messages removed by a previous patch.

2006-06-23[PATCH] i386 apm.c optimizationAndreas Mohr
