2005-08-29[PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes.Steven Rostedt
It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes, confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled. The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows: 1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked. 2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_ NetBSD 2.0 *). The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux: 1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this). 2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being handled is not blocked. The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to the way most Unix boxes work. Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU 3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX. * NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that behaves differently here with #2.

2005-08-26[IA64] Delete erroneous copy_page.o in global lib-y listKenneth Chen
copy_page.o appeared twice in arch/ia64/lib/Makefile. The one in global lib-y is wrong where it should be just in lib-$(CONFIG_ITANIUM). Both copy_page.o and copy_page_mck.o are build for Itanium2 processor and the link order will pick up the low performing copy_page function (originally written for itanium processor).

2005-08-26[IA64] Add ACPI based P-state supportVenkatesh Pallipadi
Patch to support P-state transitions on ia64. This driver is based on ACPI, and uses the ACPI processor driver interface to find out the P-state support information for the processor. This driver plugs into generic cpufreq infrastructure. Once this driver is loaded successfully, ondemand/userspace governor can be used to change the CPU frequency dynamically based on load or on request from userspace process.

2005-08-24[IA64] Rationalise Region DefinitionsPeter Chubb
Currently, region numbers are defined in several files, with several names. For example, we have REGION_KERNEL in asm/page.h and RGN_KERNEL in pgtable.h We also have address definitions that should depend on the RGN_XXX macros, but are currently just long constants. The following patch reorganises all the definitions so that they have the same form (RGN_XXX), are in one place, and that addresses that depend on RGN_XXX are derived from them. (This is a necessary but not sufficient patch to allow UML-like operation on IA64). Thanks to David Mosberger for catching the change I missed in mmu_context.h.

Thanks to Stephane, we've now worked out the real cause of the `Linux will not boot on simulator' problem.

2005-08-18[IA64, X86_64] fix swiotlb sizingAlex Williamson
Fix swiotlb sizing to match what the comments and the kernel parameters documentation indicate. Given a default 16k page size kernel (ia64) and a 2k swiotlb page size, we're off by a multiple of 8 trying to size the swiotlb. When specified on the boot line, the swiotlb is made 8x bigger than requested. When left to the default value, it's 8x smaller than the comments indicate. For x86_64 the multiplier would be 2x. The patch below fixes this. Now, what's a good default swiotlb size? Apparently we don't really need 64MB.

2005-08-18[IA64] Simulator bootloader fails with gcc 4Ian Wienand
After building a fresh tree with gcc 4 I can't boot the simulator as the bootloader loader dies with loading /home/ianw/kerntest/kerncomp//build/sim_defconfig/vmlinux... failed to read phdr After some investigation I believe this is do with differences between the alignment of variables on the stack between gcc 3 and 4 and the ski simulator. If you trace through with the simulator you can see that the disk_stat structure value returned from the SSC_WAIT_COMPLETION call seems to be only half loaded.

2005-08-01[PATCH] remove sys_set_zone_reclaim()Ingo Molnar
This removes sys_set_zone_reclaim() for now. While i'm sure Martin is trying to solve a real problem, we must not hard-code an incomplete and insufficient approach into a syscall, because syscalls are pretty much for eternity. I am quite strongly convinced that this syscall must not hit v2.6.13 in its current form. Firstly, the syscall lacks basic syscall design: e.g. it allows the global setting of VM policy for unprivileged users. (!) [ Imagine an Oracle installation and a SAP installation on the same NUMA box fighting over the 'optimal' setting for this flag. What will they do? Will they try to set the flag to their own preferred value every second or so? ] Secondly, it was added based on a single datapoint from Martin: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=111763597218177&w=2 where Martin characterizes the numbers the following way: ' Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so these numbers aren't terribly useful except to see that with reclaim the benchmark still finishes in a reasonable amount of time. ' in other words: the fundamental problem has likely not been solved, only a tendential move into the right direction has been observed, and a handful of numbers were picked out of a set of hugely variable results, without showing the variability data. How much variance is there run-to-run? I'd really suggest to first walk the walk and see what's needed to get stable & predictable kernel compilation numbers on that NUMA box, before adding random syscalls to tune a particular aspect of the VM ... which approach might not even matter once the whole picture has been analyzed and understood! The third, most important point is that the syscall exposes VM tuning internals in a completely unstructured way. What sense does it make to have a _GLOBAL_ per-node setting for 'should we go to another node for reclaim'? If then it might make sense to do this per-app, via numalib or so. The change is minimalistic in that it doesnt remove the syscall and the underlying infrastructure changes, only the user-visible changes. We could perhaps add a CAP_SYS_ADMIN-only sysctl for this hack, a'ka /proc/sys/vm/swappiness, but even that looks quite counterproductive when the generic approach is that we are trying to reduce the number of external factors in the VM balance picture.

2005-07-27[IA64] unwind.c uses wrong unat from switch_stackKeith Owens
unwind.c can read the wrong unat bits from switch_stack. sw->caller_unat is the value of ar.unat when the task was blocked. sw->ar_unat is the value of ar.unat after doing st8.spill for r4-7. IOW, ar_unat is caller_unat with 4 bits changed. unw_access_gr() uses sw->ar_unat for r4-7 (correct), but it also uses sw->ar_unat for other scratch registers (incorrect). sw->ar_unat should only be used for r4-7, everything else should use sw->caller_unat, unless modified by unwind info. Using sw->ar_unat risks picking up the 4 bits that were overwritten when r4-7 were saved. Also this line is wrong unw.sw_off[unw.preg_index[UNW_REG_PFS]] = SW(AR_UNAT); and should be unw.sw_off[unw.preg_index[UNW_REG_PFS]] = SW(AR_PFS); Signed-off-by: Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
