2005-06-08[PATCH] ia64: fix floating-point preemption problemPeter Chubb
There've been reports of problems with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and the high floating point partition. This is caused by the possibility of preemption and rescheduling on a different processor while saving or restioirng the high partition. The only places where the FPU state is touched are in ptrace, in switch_to(), and where handling a floating-point exception. In switch_to() preemption is off. So it's only in trap.c and ptrace.c that we need to prevent preemption. Here is a patch that adds commentary to make the conditions clear, and adds appropriate preempt_{en,dis}able() calls to make it so. In trap.c I use preempt_enable_no_resched(), as we're about to return to user space where the preemption flag will be checked anyway.

2005-04-25[IA64] multi-core/multi-thread identificationSuresh Siddha
Version 3 - rediffed to apply on top of Ashok's hotplug cpu patch. /proc/cpuinfo output in step with x86. This is an updated MC/MT identification patch based on the previous discussions on list. Add the Multi-core and Multi-threading detection for IPF. - Add new core and threading related fields in /proc/cpuinfo. Physical id Core id Thread id Siblings - setup the cpu_core_map and cpu_sibling_map appropriately - Handles Hot plug CPU Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Gordon Jin <gordon.jin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rohit Seth <rohit.seth@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2005-04-25[IA64] Percpu quicklist for combined allocator for pgd/pmd/pte.Robin Holt
This patch introduces using the quicklists for pgd, pmd, and pte levels by combining the alloc and free functions into a common set of routines. This greatly simplifies the reading of this header file. This patch is simple but necessary for large numa configurations. It simply ensures that only pages from the local node are added to a cpus quicklist. This prevents the trapping of pages on a remote nodes quicklist by starting a process, touching a large number of pages to fill pmd and pte entries, migrating to another node, and then unmapping or exiting. With those conditions, the pages get trapped and if the machine has more than 100 nodes of the same size, the calculation of the pgtable high water mark will be larger than any single node so page table cache flushing will never occur. I ran lmbench lat_proc fork and lat_proc exec on a zx1 with and without this patch and did not notice any change. On an sn2 machine, there was a slight improvement which is possibly due to pages from other nodes trapped on the test node before starting the run. I did not investigate further. This patch shrinks the quicklist based upon free memory on the node instead of the high/low water marks. I have written it to enable preemption periodically and recalculate the amount to shrink every time we have freed enough pages that the quicklist size should have grown. I rescan the nodes zones each pass because other processess may be draining node memory at the same time as we are adding.

2005-04-19[PATCH] freepgt: remove MM_VM_SIZE(mm)Hugh Dickins
There's only one usage of MM_VM_SIZE(mm) left, and it's a troublesome macro because mm doesn't contain the (32-bit emulation?) info needed. But it too is only needed because we ignore the end from the vma list. We could make flush_pgtables return that end, or unmap_vmas. Choose the latter, since it's a natural fit with unmap_mapping_range_vma needing to know its restart addr. This does make more than minimal change, but if unmap_vmas had returned the end before, this is how we'd have done it, rather than storing the break_addr in zap_details. unmap_vmas used to return count of vmas scanned, but that's just debug which hasn't been useful in a while; and if we want the map_count 0 on exit check back, it can easily come from the final remove_vm_struct loop.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
