2008-02-08[IA64] Fix large MCA bootmem allocationRuss Anderson
The MCA code allocates bootmem memory for NR_CPUS, regardless of how many cpus the system actually has. This change allocates memory only for cpus that actually exist. On my test system with NR_CPUS = 1024, reserved memory was reduced by 130944k. Before: Memory: 27886976k/28111168k available (8282k code, 242304k reserved, 5928k data, 1792k init) After: Memory: 28017920k/28111168k available (8282k code, 111360k reserved, 5928k data, 1792k init) Signed-off-by: Russ Anderson <rja@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

2008-02-08[IA64] Synchronize kernel RSE to user-space and backPetr Tesarik
This is base kernel patch for ptrace RSE bug. It's basically a backport from the utrace RSE patch I sent out several weeks ago. please review. when a thread is stopped (ptraced), debugger might change thread's user stack (change memory directly), and we must avoid the RSE stored in kernel to override user stack (user space's RSE is newer than kernel's in the case). To workaround the issue, we copy kernel RSE to user RSE before the task is stopped, so user RSE has updated data. we then copy user RSE to kernel after the task is resummed from traced stop and kernel will use the newer RSE to return to user.

2008-02-07vmcoreinfo: fix the configuration dependenciesKen'ichi Ohmichi
This patch fixes the configuration dependencies in the vmcoreinfo data. i386's "node_data" is defined in arch/x86/mm/discontig_32.c, and x86_64's one is defined in arch/x86/mm/numa_64.c.

2008-02-07vmcoreinfo: rename vmcoreinfo's macros returning the sizeKen'ichi Ohmichi
This patchset is for the vmcoreinfo data. The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering. makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile. This patch: VMCOREINFO_SIZE() should be renamed VMCOREINFO_STRUCT_SIZE() since it's always returning the size of the struct with a given name. This change would allow VMCOREINFO_TYPEDEF_SIZE() to simply become VMCOREINFO_SIZE() since it need not be used exclusively for typedefs.

2008-02-07Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem()Bernhard Walle
This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions between crashkernel area and already used memory. This patch: Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE. If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts. Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition inside reserve_bootmem_core().

2008-02-05timerfd: new timerfd APIDavide Libenzi
This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch: int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags); int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags, const struct itimerspec *utmr, struct itimerspec *otmr); int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr); The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd. The "clockid" parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME. The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not NULL). The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit is set in the "flags" parameter. Otherwise it's a relative time. The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or {0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet. Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are supported (with the same interface). Here's a simple test program I used to exercise the new timerfd APIs: http://www.xmailserver.org/timerfd-test2.c [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix ia64 build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix m68k build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mips build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix alpha, arm, blackfin, cris, m68k, s390, sparc and sparc64 builds] [heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com: fix s390] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix powerpc build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix sparc64 more] Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Linus: On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32 really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation. It would be much better to do depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just have a bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES default y in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical, and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support which interface...

It would be much better to do depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just have a bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES default y in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical, and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support which interface... Changelog: Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see it, I realize that I should have told you to just use config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES def_bool y instead, which is a bit denser. We seem to use both kinds of syntax for these things, but this is really what "def_bool" is there for... Changelog : - Moving to HAVE_*. - Add AVR32 oprofile.

2008-01-30modules: fold percpu_modcopy into module.ctravis@sgi.com
percpu_modcopy() is defined multiple times in arch files. However, the only user is module.c. Put a static definition into module.c and remove the definitions from the arch files. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-01-30[SCSI] remove use_sg_chainingJames Bottomley
With the sg table code, every SCSI driver is now either chain capable or broken (or has sg_tablesize set so chaining is never activated), so there's no need to have a check in the host template. Also tidy up the code by moving the scatterlist size defines into the SCSI includes and permit the last entry of the scatterlist pools not to be a power of two.

2008-01-30percpu: make the asm-generic/percpu.h more "generic"travis@sgi.com
- add support for PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES - fix generic smp percpu_modcopy to use per_cpu_offset() macro. Add the ability to use generic/percpu even if the arch needs to override several aspects of its operations. This will enable the use of generic percpu.h for all arches. An arch may define: __per_cpu_offset Do not use the generic pointer array. Arch must define per_cpu_offset(cpu) (used by x86_64, s390). __my_cpu_offset Can be defined to provide an optimized way to determine the offset for variables of the currently executing processor. Used by ia64, x86_64, x86_32, sparc64, s/390. SHIFT_PTR(ptr, offset) If an arch defines it then special handling of pointer arithmentic may be implemented. Used by s/390. (Some of these special percpu arch implementations may be later consolidated so that there are less cases to deal with.)

2008-01-30percpu: use a kconfig variable to signal arch specific percpu setuptravis@sgi.com
The use of the __GENERIC_PERCPU is a bit problematic since arches may want to run their own percpu setup while using the generic percpu definitions. Replace it through a kconfig variable.

2008-01-30spinlock: lockbreak cleanupNick Piggin
The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty. Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to a potentially less optimal trylock. Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a __raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is not set. Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up with that break_lock then?).
