2006-01-08[PATCH] Change maxaligned_in_smp alignemnt macros to internodealigned_in_smp ↵Ravikiran G Thirumalai
macros ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp is currently used to align critical structures and avoid false sharing. It uses per-arch L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX and people find L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX useless. However, we have been using ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp to align structures on the internode cacheline size. As per Andi's suggestion, following patch kills ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp and introduces INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT, which defaults to L1_CACHE_SHIFT for all arches. Arches needing L3/Internode cacheline alignment can define INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT in the arch asm/cache.h. Patch replaces ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp with ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp With this patch, L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX can be killed Signed-off-by: Ravikiran Thirumalai <kiran@scalex86.org> Signed-off-by: Shai Fultheim <shai@scalex86.org> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-01-08[PATCH] frv: miscellaneous changesDavid Howells
Fix a number of miscellanous items: (1) Declare lock sections in the linker script. (2) Recurse in the correct manner in the arch makefile. (3) asm/bug.h requires asm/linkage.h to be included first. One C file puts asm/bug.h first. (4) Add an empty RTC header file to avoid missing header file errors. (5) sg_dma_address() should use the dma_address member of a scatter list. (6) Add trivial pci_unmap support. (7) Add pgprot_noncached() (8) Discard u_quad_t. (9) Use ~0UL rather than ULONG_MAX in unistd.h in case the latter isn't declared. (10) Add an empty VGA header file to avoid missing header file errors. (11) Add an XOR header file to use the generic XOR stuff.

2006-01-08[PATCH] Swap Migration V5: sys_migrate_pages interfaceChristoph Lameter
sys_migrate_pages implementation using swap based page migration This is the original API proposed by Ray Bryant in his posts during the first half of 2005 on linux-mm@kvack.org and linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org. The intent of sys_migrate is to migrate memory of a process. A process may have migrated to another node. Memory was allocated optimally for the prior context. sys_migrate_pages allows to shift the memory to the new node. sys_migrate_pages is also useful if the processes available memory nodes have changed through cpuset operations to manually move the processes memory. Paul Jackson is working on an automated mechanism that will allow an automatic migration if the cpuset of a process is changed. However, a user may decide to manually control the migration. This implementation is put into the policy layer since it uses concepts and functions that are also needed for mbind and friends. The patch also provides a do_migrate_pages function that may be useful for cpusets to automatically move memory. sys_migrate_pages does not modify policies in contrast to Ray's implementation. The current code here is based on the swap based page migration capability and thus is not able to preserve the physical layout relative to it containing nodeset (which may be a cpuset). When direct page migration becomes available then the implementation needs to be changed to do a isomorphic move of pages between different nodesets. The current implementation simply evicts all pages in source nodeset that are not in the target nodeset. Patch supports ia64, i386 and x86_64.

2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: Replace VMALLOCBASE with VMALLOC_STARTDavid Gibson
On ppc64, we independently define VMALLOCBASE and VMALLOC_START to be the same thing: the start of the vmalloc() area at 0xd000000000000000. VMALLOC_START is used much more widely, including in generic code, so this patch gets rid of the extraneous VMALLOCBASE. This does require moving the definitions of region IDs from page_64.h to pgtable.h, but they don't clearly belong in the former rather than the latter, anyway. While we're moving them, clean up the definitions of the REGION_IDs: - Abolish REGION_SIZE, it was only used once, to define REGION_MASK anyway - Define the specific region ids in terms of the REGION_ID() macro. - Define KERNEL_REGION_ID in terms of PAGE_OFFSET rather than KERNELBASE. It amounts to the same thing, but conceptually this is about the region of the linear mapping (which starts at PAGE_OFFSET) rather than of the kernel text itself (which is at KERNELBASE).

There is no thermal control yet, there is no proper handing of MSIs, etc.. but it boots, I have all 4 cores up on my machine. Compared to the previous version of this patch, this one adds DART IOMMU support for the U4 chipset and thus should work fine on setups with more than 2Gb of RAM.

2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc/cell: add iommu support for larger memoryJens.Osterkamp@de.ibm.com
So far, the iommu code was hardwired to a linear mapping between 0x20000000 and 0x40000000, so it could only support 512MB of RAM. This patch still keeps the linear mapping, but looks for proper ibm,dma-window properties to set up larger windows, this makes the maximum supported RAM size 2GB. If there is anything unusual about the dma-window properties, we fall back to the old behavior. We also support switching off the iommu completely now with the regular iommu=off command line option.

2006-01-09[PATCH] spufs: fix mailbox pollingArnd Bergmann
Handling mailbox interrupts was broken in multiple respects, the combination of which was hiding the bugs most of the time. - The ibox interrupt mask was open initially even though there are no waiters on a newly created SPU. - Acknowledging the mailbox interrupt did not work because it is level triggered and the mailbox data is never retrieved from inside the interrupt handler. - The interrupt handler delivered interrupts with a disabled mask if another interrupt is triggered for the same class but a different mask. - The poll function did not enable the interrupt if it had not been enabled, so we might run into the poll timeout if none of the other bugs saved us and no signal was delivered. We probably still have a similar problem with blocking read/write on mailbox files, but that will result in extra wakeup in the worst case, not in incorrect behaviour.

2006-01-09[PATCH] spufs: Improved SPU preemptability [part 2].Arnd Bergmann
This patch reduces lock complexity of SPU scheduler, particularly for involuntary preemptive switches. As a result the new code does a better job of mapping the highest priority tasks to SPUs. Lock complexity is reduced by using the system default workqueue to perform involuntary saves. In this way we avoid nasty lock ordering problems that the previous code had. A "minimum timeslice" for SPU contexts is also introduced. The intent here is to avoid thrashing. While the new scheduler does a better job at prioritization it still does nothing for fairness.

2006-01-09[PATCH] spufs: Improved SPU preemptability.Arnd Bergmann
This patch makes it easier to preempt an SPU context by having the scheduler hold ctx->state_sema for much shorter periods of time. As part of this restructuring, the control logic for the "run" operation is moved from arch/ppc64/kernel/spu_base.c to fs/spufs/file.c. Of course the base retains "bottom half" handlers for class{0,1} irqs. The new run loop will re-acquire an SPU if preempted.
