2008-10-20Merge branch 'genirq-v28-for-linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip This merges branches irq/genirq, irq/sparseirq-v4, timers/hpet-percpu and x86/uv. The sparseirq branch is just preliminary groundwork: no sparse IRQs are actually implemented by this tree anymore - just the new APIs are added while keeping the old way intact as well (the new APIs map 1:1 to irq_desc[]). The 'real' sparse IRQ support will then be a relatively small patch ontop of this - with a v2.6.29 merge target. * 'genirq-v28-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (178 commits) genirq: improve include files intr_remapping: fix typo io_apic: make irq_mis_count available on 64-bit too genirq: fix name space collisions of nr_irqs in arch/* genirq: fix name space collision of nr_irqs in autoprobe.c genirq: use iterators for irq_desc loops proc: fixup irq iterator genirq: add reverse iterator for irq_desc x86: move ack_bad_irq() to irq.c x86: unify show_interrupts() and proc helpers x86: cleanup show_interrupts genirq: cleanup the sparseirq modifications genirq: remove artifacts from sparseirq removal genirq: revert dynarray genirq: remove irq_to_desc_alloc genirq: remove sparse irq code genirq: use inline function for irq_to_desc genirq: consolidate nr_irqs and for_each_irq_desc() x86: remove sparse irq from Kconfig genirq: define nr_irqs for architectures with GENERIC_HARDIRQS=n ...
2008-10-20container freezer: implement freezer cgroup subsystemMatt Helsley
This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups framework. It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem. The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named freezer.state. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in the cgroup. Reading will return the current state. * Examples of usage : # mkdir /containers/freezer # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers # mkdir /containers/0 # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks to get status of the freezer subsystem : # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING to freeze all tasks in the container : # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FREEZING # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FROZEN to unfreeze all tasks in the container : # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space task in a simple scenario. It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete. In that case we return EBUSY. This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this time. After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read. The state will remain "FREEZING" until one of these things happens: 1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to the freezer.state file 2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal and returns EIO) 3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN" state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

2008-10-01x86: change MTRR_SANITIZER to def_bool yYinghai Lu
This option has been added in v2.6.26 as a default-disabled feature and went through several revisions since then.

2008-09-16x86: add X86_RESERVE_LOW_64KIngo Molnar
This bugzilla: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237 Documents a wide range of systems where the BIOS utilizes the first 64K of physical memory during suspend/resume and other hardware events. Currently we reserve this memory on all AMI and Phoenix BIOS systems. Life is too short to hunt subtle memory corruption problems like this, so we try to be robust by default. Still, allow this to be overriden: allow users who want that first 64K of memory to be available to the kernel disable the quirk, via CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K=n. Also, allow the early reservation to overlap with other early reservations. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Things like the SMP trampoline are still in the memory, however. - Clears the reserved memory so we can observe changes to it. - Adds a function check_for_bios_corruption() which checks and reports on memory becoming unexpectedly non-zero.

That was set even on platforms where binfmt_aout isn't supported, although it's not entirely clear why.

2008-08-25[x86] Clean up MAXSMP Kconfig, and limit NR_CPUS to 512Linus Torvalds
This fixes a regression that was indirectly caused by commit 1184dc2ffe2c8fb9afb766d870850f2c3165ef25 ("x86: modify Kconfig to allow up to 4096 cpus"). Allowing 4k CPU's is not practical at this time, because we still have a number of places that have several 'cpumask_t's on the stack, and a 4k-bit cpumask is 512 bytes of stack-space for each such variable. This literally caused functions like 'smp_call_function_mask' to have a 2.5kB stack frame, and several functions to have 2kB stackframes. With an 8kB stack total, smashing the stack was simply much too likely. At least bugzilla entry http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11342 was due to this. The earlier commit to not inline load_module() into sys_init_module() fixed the particular symptoms of this that Alan Brunelle saw in that bugzilla entry, but the huge stack waste by cpumask_t's was the more direct cause. Some day we'll have allocation helpers that allocate large CPU masks dynamically, but in the meantime we simply cannot allow cpumasks this large. Cc: Alan D.

This version changes absolutely nothing if CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL is not set (the default). Also, no space is appended even when CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL is set, but the builtin string is empty.

Out of line get_user_pages_fast fallback implementation, make it a weak symbol, get rid of CONFIG_HAVE_GET_USER_PAGES_FAST. Export the symbol to modules so lguest can use it. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-08-11x86: make sparsemem more availableJeff Chua
With CONFIG_X86_PC, I can set CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y. With CONFIG_X86_GENERICARCH, CONFIG_SPARSEMEM depends on CONFIG_NUMA. I'm using the patch below to enable sparsemem instead of flatmem. System booted and is running. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-07-28x86: AMD microcode patch loading supportPeter Oruba
This patch introduces microcode patch loading for AMD processors. It is based on previous corresponding work for Intel processors. It hooks into the general patch loading module. Main difference is that a container file format is used to hold all patch data for multiple processors as well as an equivalent CPU table, which comes seperately, as opposed to Intel's microcode patching solution. Kconfig and Makefile have been changed provice config and build option for new source file.

2008-07-28x86: major refactoringPeter Oruba
Refactored code by introducing a two-module solution. There is one general module in which vendor specific modules can hook into. However, that is exclusive, there is only one vendor specific module allowed at a time. A CPU vendor check makes sure only the correct module for the underlying system gets called. Functinally in terms of patch loading itself there are no changes. This refactoring provides a basis for future implementations of other vendors' patch loaders.
