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.

SLUB: Deal with annoying gcc warning on kfree()
2008-02-07SLUB: Alternate fast paths using cmpxchg_localChristoph Lameter
Provide an alternate implementation of the SLUB fast paths for alloc and free using cmpxchg_local. The cmpxchg_local fast path is selected for arches that have CONFIG_FAST_CMPXCHG_LOCAL set. An arch should only set CONFIG_FAST_CMPXCHG_LOCAL if the cmpxchg_local is faster than an interrupt enable/disable sequence. This is known to be true for both x86 platforms so set FAST_CMPXCHG_LOCAL for both arches. Currently another requirement for the fastpath is that the kernel is compiled without preemption. The restriction will go away with the introduction of a new per cpu allocator and new per cpu operations. The advantages of a cmpxchg_local based fast path are: 1. Potentially lower cycle count (30%-60% faster) 2. There is no need to disable and enable interrupts on the fast path. Currently interrupts have to be disabled and enabled on every slab operation. This is likely avoiding a significant percentage of interrupt off / on sequences in the kernel. 3. The disposal of freed slabs can occur with interrupts enabled. The alternate path is realized using #ifdef's. Several attempts to do the same with macros and inline functions resulted in a mess (in particular due to the strange way that local_interrupt_save() handles its argument and due to the need to define macros/functions that sometimes disable interrupts and sometimes do something else).

2008-02-07Fix compilation of powerpc asm-offsets.c with old gccTony Breeds
Commit ad7f71674ad7c3c4467e48f6ab9e85516dae2720 ("[POWERPC] Use a sensible default for clock_getres() in the VDSO") corrected the clock resolution reported by the VDSO clock_getres() but introduced another problem in that older versions of gcc (gcc-4.0 and earlier) fail to compile the new code in arch/powerpc/kernel/asm-offsets.c. This fixes it by introducing a new MONOTONIC_RES_NSEC define in the generic code which is equivalent to KTIME_MONOTONIC_RES but is just an integer constant, not a ktime union.

2008-02-07Sanitize the type of struct user.u_ar0H. Peter Anvin
struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers, which is pointless -- <asm/user.h> is not exported to userspace, and it just makes the code messy. Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof() instead of hand-coded arithmetic.

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.

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().

This makes the SPE register data appear in ELF core dumps, using the new n_type value NT_PPC_SPE (0x101). This new note type is not used by any consumers of core files yet, but support can be added. I don't even have any hardware with SPE capabilities, so I've never seen such a note.

2008-02-07[POWERPC] Add user_regset compat supportRoland McGrath
This extends task_user_regset_view CONFIG_PPC64 with support for the 32-bit view of register state, compatible with what a CONFIG_PPC32 kernel provides. This will enable generic machine-independent code to access user-mode threads' registers for debugging and dumping.

2008-02-07[POWERPC] Add user_regset_view definitionsRoland McGrath
This provides the task_user_regset_view entry point and support for all the native-mode (64 on CONFIG_PPC64, 32 on CONFIG_PPC32) thread register state. This will enable generic machine-independent code to access user-mode threads' registers for debugging and dumping.

2008-02-07[POWERPC] Use user_regset accessors for GPRsRoland McGrath
This implements user_regset-style accessors for the powerpc general registers. In the future these functions will be the only place that needs to understand the user_regset layout (core dump format) and how it maps to the internal representation of user thread state.

2008-02-07[POWERPC] ptrace accessors for special regs MSR and TRAPRoland McGrath
This isolates the ptrace code for the special-case registers msr and trap from the ptrace-layout dispatch code. This should inline away completely. It cleanly separates the low-level machine magic that has to be done for deep reasons, from the superficial details of the ptrace interface.

2008-02-07[POWERPC] Use user_regset accessors for SPE regsRoland McGrath
This implements user_regset-style accessors for the powerpc SPE data, and rewrites the existing ptrace code in terms of those calls. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-02-07[POWERPC] Use user_regset accessors for altivec regsRoland McGrath
