2006-01-13[IA64-SGI] Fix sn_flush_device_kernel & spinlock initializationPrarit Bhargava
This patch separates the sn_flush_device_list struct into kernel and common (both kernel and PROM accessible) structures. As it was, if the size of a spinlock_t changed (due to additional CONFIG options, etc.) the sal call which populated the sn_flush_device_list structs would erroneously write data (and cause memory corruption and/or a panic). This patch does the following: 1. Removes sn_flush_device_list and adds sn_flush_device_common and sn_flush_device_kernel. 2. Adds a new SAL call to populate a sn_flush_device_common struct per device, not per widget as previously done. 3. Correctly initializes each device's sn_flush_device_kernel spinlock_t struct (before it was only doing each widget's first device).

2006-01-12[PATCH] scheduler cache-hot-autodetectakpm@osdl.org
) From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> This is the latest version of the scheduler cache-hot-auto-tune patch. The first problem was that detection time scaled with O(N^2), which is unacceptable on larger SMP and NUMA systems. To solve this: - I've added a 'domain distance' function, which is used to cache measurement results. Each distance is only measured once. This means that e.g. on NUMA distances of 0, 1 and 2 might be measured, on HT distances 0 and 1, and on SMP distance 0 is measured. The code walks the domain tree to determine the distance, so it automatically follows whatever hierarchy an architecture sets up. This cuts down on the boot time significantly and removes the O(N^2) limit. The only assumption is that migration costs can be expressed as a function of domain distance - this covers the overwhelming majority of existing systems, and is a good guess even for more assymetric systems. [ People hacking systems that have assymetries that break this assumption (e.g. different CPU speeds) should experiment a bit with the cpu_distance() function. Adding a ->migration_distance factor to the domain structure would be one possible solution - but lets first see the problem systems, if they exist at all. Lets not overdesign. ] Another problem was that only a single cache-size was used for measuring the cost of migration, and most architectures didnt set that variable up. Furthermore, a single cache-size does not fit NUMA hierarchies with L3 caches and does not fit HT setups, where different CPUs will often have different 'effective cache sizes'. To solve this problem: - Instead of relying on a single cache-size provided by the platform and sticking to it, the code now auto-detects the 'effective migration cost' between two measured CPUs, via iterating through a wide range of cachesizes. The code searches for the maximum migration cost, which occurs when the working set of the test-workload falls just below the 'effective cache size'. I.e. real-life optimized search is done for the maximum migration cost, between two real CPUs. This, amongst other things, has the positive effect hat if e.g. two CPUs share a L2/L3 cache, a different (and accurate) migration cost will be found than between two CPUs on the same system that dont share any caches. (The reliable measurement of migration costs is tricky - see the source for details.) Furthermore i've added various boot-time options to override/tune migration behavior. Firstly, there's a blanket override for autodetection: migration_cost=1000,2000,3000 will override the depth 0/1/2 values with 1msec/2msec/3msec values. Secondly, there's a global factor that can be used to increase (or decrease) the autodetected values: migration_factor=120 will increase the autodetected values by 20%. This option is useful to tune things in a workload-dependent way - e.g. if a workload is cache-insensitive then CPU utilization can be maximized by specifying migration_factor=0. I've tested the autodetection code quite extensively on x86, on 3 P3/Xeon/2MB, and the autodetected values look pretty good: Dual Celeron (128K L2 cache): --------------------- migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 131072, cpu: 467 MHz): --------------------- [00] [01] [00]: - 1.7(1) [01]: 1.7(1) - --------------------- cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (0) 1.7 (1784008) --------------------- Here the slow memory subsystem dominates system performance, and even though caches are small, the migration cost is 1.7 msecs. Dual HT P4 (512K L2 cache): --------------------- migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 524288, cpu: 2379 MHz): --------------------- [00] [01] [02] [03] [00]: - 0.4(1) 0.0(0) 0.4(1) [01]: 0.4(1) - 0.4(1) 0.0(0) [02]: 0.0(0) 0.4(1) - 0.4(1) [03]: 0.4(1) 0.0(0) 0.4(1) - --------------------- cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (33900) 0.4 (448514) --------------------- Here it can be seen that there is no migration cost between two HT siblings (CPU#0/2 and CPU#1/3 are separate physical CPUs). A fast memory system makes inter-physical-CPU migration pretty cheap: 0.4 msecs. 8-way P3/Xeon [2MB L2 cache]: --------------------- migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 2097152, cpu: 700 MHz): --------------------- [00] [01] [02] [03] [04] [05] [06] [07] [00]: - 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) [01]: 19.2(1) - 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) [02]: 19.2(1) 19.2(1) - 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) [03]: 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) - 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) [04]: 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) - 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) [05]: 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) - 19.2(1) 19.2(1) [06]: 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) - 19.2(1) [07]: 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) - --------------------- cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (0) 19.2 (19281756) --------------------- This one has huge caches and a relatively slow memory subsystem - so the migration cost is 19 msecs.

2006-01-08[PATCH] /dev/mem: validate mmap requestsBjorn Helgaas
Add a hook so architectures can validate /dev/mem mmap requests. This is analogous to validation we already perform in the read/write paths. The identity mapping scheme used on ia64 requires that each 16MB or 64MB granule be accessed with exactly one attribute (write-back or uncacheable). This avoids "attribute aliasing", which can cause a machine check. Sample problem scenario: - Machine supports VGA, so it has uncacheable (UC) MMIO at 640K-768K - efi_memmap_init() discards any write-back (WB) memory in the first granule - Application (e.g., "hwinfo") mmaps /dev/mem, offset 0 - hwinfo receives UC mapping (the default, since memmap says "no WB here") - Machine check abort (on chipsets that don't support UC access to WB memory, e.g., sx1000) In the scenario above, the only choices are - Use WB for hwinfo mmap. Can't do this because it causes attribute aliasing with the UC mapping for the VGA MMIO space. - Use UC for hwinfo mmap. Can't do this because the chipset may not support UC for that region. - Disallow the hwinfo mmap with -EINVAL. That's what this patch does.

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.

2006-01-06[PATCH] madvise(MADV_REMOVE): remove pages from tmpfs shm backing storeBadari Pulavarty
Here is the patch to implement madvise(MADV_REMOVE) - which frees up a given range of pages & its associated backing store. Current implementation supports only shmfs/tmpfs and other filesystems return -ENOSYS. "Some app allocates large tmpfs files, then when some task quits and some client disconnect, some memory can be released. However the only way to release tmpfs-swap is to MADV_REMOVE". - Andrea Arcangeli Databases want to use this feature to drop a section of their bufferpool (shared memory segments) - without writing back to disk/swap space. This feature is also useful for supporting hot-plug memory on UML. Concerns raised by Andrew Morton: - "We have no plan for holepunching! If we _do_ have such a plan (or might in the future) then what would the API look like? I think sys_holepunch(fd, start, len), so we should start out with that." - Using madvise is very weird, because people will ask "why do I need to mmap my file before I can stick a hole in it?" - None of the other madvise operations call into the filesystem in this manner. A broad question is: is this capability an MM operation or a filesytem operation? truncate, for example, is a filesystem operation which sometimes has MM side-effects. madvise is an mm operation and with this patch, it gains FS side-effects, only they're really, really significant ones." Comments: - Andrea suggested the fs operation too but then it's more efficient to have it as a mm operation with fs side effects, because they don't immediatly know fd and physical offset of the range. It's possible to fixup in userland and to use the fs operation but it's more expensive, the vmas are already in the kernel and we can use them. Short term plan & Future Direction: - We seem to need this interface only for shmfs/tmpfs files in the short term. We have to add hooks into the filesystem for correctness and completeness. This is what this patch does. - In the future, plan is to support both fs and mmap apis also. This also involves (other) filesystem specific functions to be implemented. - Current patch doesn't support VM_NONLINEAR - which can be addressed in the future.

2005-12-16[IA64] disable preemption in udelay()John Hawkes
The udelay() inline for ia64 uses the ITC. If CONFIG_PREEMPT is enabled and the platform has unsynchronized ITCs and the calling task migrates to another CPU while doing the udelay loop, then the effective delay may be too short or very, very long. This patch disables preemption around 100 usec chunks of the overall desired udelay time. This minimizes preemption-holdoffs. udelay() is now too big to be inline, move it out of line and export it.

2005-12-13[IA64] Split 16-bit severity field in sal_log_record_headerTony Luck
ERR_SEVERITY item is defined as a 8 bits item in SAL documentation ($B.2.1 rev december 2003), but as an u16 in sal.h. This has the side effect that current code in mca.c may not call ia64_sal_clear_state_info() upon receiving corrected platform errors if there are bits set in the validation byte.

2005-12-12[IA64] Define an ia64 version of __raw_read_trylockKeith Owens
IA64 is using the generic version of __raw_read_trylock, which always waits for the lock to be free instead of returning when the lock is in use. Define an ia64 version of __raw_read_trylock which behaves correctly, and drop the generic one. Signed-off-by: Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

2005-12-06[IA64] Change SET_PERSONALITY to comply with comment in binfmt_elf.c.Robin Holt
We have a customer application which trips a bug. The problem arises when a driver attempts to call do_munmap on an area which is mapped, but because current->thread.task_size has been set to 0xC0000000, the call to do_munmap fails thinking it is an unmap beyond the user's address space. The comment in fs/binfmt_elf.c in load_elf_library() before the call to SET_PERSONALITY() indicates that task_size must not be changed for the running application until flush_thread, but is for ia64 executing ia32 binaries. This patch moves the setting of task_size from SET_PERSONALITY() to flush_thread() as indicated. The customer application no longer is able to trip the bug.

2005-12-06[IA64-SGI] altix: pci_window fixupJohn Keller
Altix only patch to add fixup code that sets up pci_controller->window. This code is a temporary fix until ACPI support on Altix is added. Also, corrects the usage of pci_dev->sysdata, which had previously been used to reference platform specific device info, to now point to a pci_controller struct.

2005-11-29[IA64] - Make pfn_valid more precise for SGI Altix systemsDean Roe
A single SGI Altix system can be divided into multiple partitions, each running their own instance of the Linux kernel. pfn_valid() is currently not optimal for any but the first partition, since it does not compare the pfn with min_low_pfn before calling the more costly ia64_pfn_valid().

2005-11-11[IA64] 4-level page tablesRobin Holt
This patch introduces 4-level page tables to ia64. I have run some benchmarks and found nothing interesting. Performance has consistently fallen within the noise range. It also introduces a config option (setting the default to 3 levels). The config option prevents having 4 level page tables with 64k base page size.
