2007-07-09sched: zap the migration init / cache-hot balancing codeIngo Molnar
the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'. this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the balancing code pretty undeterministic as well. (and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-) under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline' tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.

2007-07-09sched: rename idle_type/SCHED_IDLEIngo Molnar
enum idle_type (used by the load-balancer) clashes with the SCHED_IDLE name that we want to introduce. 'CPU_IDLE' instead of 'SCHED_IDLE' is more descriptive as well. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-07-08sis5513: adding PCI-IDUwe Koziolek
The SiS966 has one additional PCI-ID 1180. If the chipset is using this PCI-ID, the primary channel is connected to the first PATA-port. The secondary channel is connected to SATA-ports in IDE emulation mode. The legacy IO-ports are used. The including of the PCI-ID into pata_sis is not sufficient, because the legacy driver in drivers/ide is initialized before pata_sis.

2007-07-01PM: introduce set_target method in pm_opsRafael J. Wysocki
Commit 52ade9b3b97fd3bea42842a056fe0786c28d0555 changed the suspend code ordering to execute pm_ops->prepare() after the device model per-device .suspend() calls in order to fix some ACPI-related issues. Unfortunately, it broke the at91 platform which assumed that pm_ops->prepare() would be called before suspending devices. at91 used pm_ops->prepare() to get notified of the target system sleep state, so that it could use this information while suspending devices. However, with the current suspend code ordering pm_ops->prepare() is called too late for this purpose. Thus, at91 needs an additional method in 'struct pm_ops' that will be used for notifying the platform of the target system sleep state. Moreover, in the future such a method will also be needed by ACPI. This patch adds the .set_target() method to 'struct pm_ops' and makes the suspend code call it, if implemented, before executing the device model per-device .suspend() calls. It also modifies the at91 code to use pm_ops->set_target() instead of pm_ops->prepare(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2007-06-29Input: add a new EV_SW SW_RADIO event, for radio switches on laptopsHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Many laptops have rf-kill physical switches that are not keys, but slider or rocker switches. Often (like in all ThinkPads with a radio kill slider switch), they have both a slider/rocker switch and a hot key. Trying to kludge a real switch to act like a key is not a very smart thing to do if you can help it, and it gets specially bad when you are going to have both in the same machine. So, we do the right thing and add an input EV_SW event for radio kill switches. The EV_SW SW_RADIO event is defined with positive logic, i.e. when the switch is active, the radios are to be enabled. When the switch is inactive, the radios are to be disabled. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>
2007-06-28Introduce fixed sys_sync_file_range2() syscall, implement on PowerPC and ARMDavid Woodhouse
Not all the world is an i386. Many architectures need 64-bit arguments to be aligned in suitable pairs of registers, and the original sys_sync_file_range(int, loff_t, loff_t, int) was therefore wasting an argument register for padding after the first integer. Since we don't normally have more than 6 arguments for system calls, that left no room for the final argument on some architectures. Fix this by introducing sys_sync_file_range2(int, int, loff_t, loff_t) which all fits nicely. In fact, ARM already had that, but called it sys_arm_sync_file_range. Move it to fs/sync.c and rename it, then implement the needed compatibility routine. And stop the missing syscall check from bitching about the absence of sys_sync_file_range() if we've implemented sys_sync_file_range2() instead. Tested on PPC32 and with 32-bit and 64-bit userspace on PPC64.

The infamous abnormal status message triggers on not so abnormal cases including empty port and even when it's being triggered on actual errors the info it provides is redundant and out of context - higher level functions will print the info in better safe later anyway. Also, by being triggered all the time, it leads people to think that the abnormality is somehow related to all ATA and system problems they're experiencing and gives owners of healthy systems unfounded doubts about the integrity of the universe.

2007-06-18Revert "futex_requeue_pi optimization"Thomas Gleixner
This reverts commit d0aa7a70bf03b9de9e995ab272293be1f7937822. It not only introduced user space visible changes to the futex syscall, it is also non-functional and there is no way to fix it proper before the 2.6.22 release. The breakage report ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/5/12/17 ) went unanswered, and unfortunately it turned out that the concept is not feasible at all. It violates the rtmutex semantics badly by introducing a virtual owner, which hacks around the coupling of the user-space pi_futex and the kernel internal rt_mutex representation. At the moment the only safe option is to remove it fully as it contains user-space visible changes to broken kernel code, which we do not want to expose in the 2.6.22 release. The patch reverts the original patch mostly 1:1, but contains a couple of trivial manual cleanups which were necessary due to patches, which touched the same area of code later. Verified against the glibc tests and my own PI futex tests.

2007-06-18IB/mlx4: Make sure inline data segments don't cross a 64 byte boundaryRoland Dreier
Inline data segments in send WQEs are not allowed to cross a 64 byte boundary. We use inline data segments to hold the UD headers for MLX QPs (QP0 and QP1). A send with GRH on QP1 will have a UD header that is too big to fit in a single inline data segment without crossing a 64 byte boundary, so split the header into two inline data segments.

2007-06-16shm: fix the filename of hugetlb sysv shared memoryEric W. Biederman
Some user space tools need to identify SYSV shared memory when examining /proc/<pid>/maps. To do so they look for a block device with major zero, a dentry named SYSV<sysv key>, and having the minor of the internal sysv shared memory kernel mount. To help these tools and to make it easier for people just browsing /proc/<pid>/maps this patch modifies hugetlb sysv shared memory to use the SYSV<key> dentry naming convention. User space tools will still have to be aware that hugetlb sysv shared memory lives on a different internal kernel mount and so has a different block device minor number from the rest of sysv shared memory.

2007-06-16SLUB: minimum alignment fixesChristoph Lameter
If ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is set to a value greater than 8 (SLUBs smallest kmalloc cache) then SLUB may generate duplicate slabs in sysfs (yes again) because the object size is padded to reach ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN. Thus the size of the small slabs is all the same. No arch sets ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN larger than 8 though except mips which for some reason wants a 128 byte alignment. This patch increases the size of the smallest cache if ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is greater than 8. In that case more and more of the smallest caches are disabled. If we do that then the count of the active general caches that is displayed on boot is not correct anymore since we may skip elements of the kmalloc array. So count them separately. This approach was tested by Havard yesterday.

Update two points in the SPI interface documentation: - Update description of the "chip stays selected after message ends" mode. In some cases it's required for correctness; it isn't just a performance tweak. (Yes: to use this mode on mult-device busses, another programming interface will be needed. One draft has been circulated already.) - Clarify spi_setup(), highlighting that callers must ensure that no requests are queued (can't change configuration except between I/Os), and that the device must be deselected when this returns (which is a key part of why it's called during device init).

Commit 164891aadf1721fca4dce473bb0e0998181537c6 broke RTT sampling of congestion control modules. Inaccurate timestamps could be fed to them without providing any way for them to identify such cases. Previously RTT sampler was called only if FLAG_RETRANS_DATA_ACKED was not set filtering inaccurate timestamps nicely. In addition, the new behavior could give an invalid timestamp (zero) to RTT sampler if only skbs with TCPCB_RETRANS were ACKed. This solves both problems.

This allows callers to dump values as 1-byte, 2-byte, 4-byte, or 8-byte numbers. Default is 1-byte numbers. If the total length is not an even multiple of groupsize, 1-byte numbers are printed. Add an "ascii" output parameter. This causes ASCII data output following the hex data output. Clean up some doc examples. Align the ASCII output on all lines that are produced by one call. Add a new interface, print_hex_dump_bytes(), that is a shortcut to print_hex_dump(), using default parameter values to print 16 bytes in byte-size chunks of hex + ASCII output, using printk level KERN_DEBUG.

2007-06-08pi-futex: fix exit races and locking problemsAlexey Kuznetsov
1. New entries can be added to tsk->pi_state_list after task completed exit_pi_state_list(). The result is memory leakage and deadlocks. 2. handle_mm_fault() is called under spinlock. The result is obvious. 3. results in self-inflicted deadlock inside glibc. Sometimes futex_lock_pi returns -ESRCH, when it is not expected and glibc enters to for(;;) sleep() to simulate deadlock. This problem is quite obvious and I think the patch is right. Though it looks like each "if" in futex_lock_pi() got some stupid special case "else if". :-) 4. sometimes futex_lock_pi() returns -EDEADLK, when nobody has the lock. The reason is also obvious (see comment in the patch), but correct fix is far beyond my comprehension. I guess someone already saw this, the chunk: if (rt_mutex_trylock(&q.pi_state->pi_mutex)) ret = 0; is obviously from the same opera. But it does not work, because the rtmutex is really taken at this point: wake_futex_pi() of previous owner reassigned it to us. My fix works. But it looks very stupid. I would think about removal of shift of ownership in wake_futex_pi() and making all the work in context of process taking lock. From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Fix 1) Avoid the tasklist lock variant of the exit race fix by adding an additional state transition to the exit code. This fixes also the issue, when a task with recursive segfaults is not able to release the futexes. Fix 2) Cleanup the lookup_pi_state() failure path and solve the -ESRCH problem finally. Fix 3) Solve the fixup_pi_state_owner() problem which needs to do the fixup in the lock protected section by using the in_atomic userspace access functions. This removes also the ugly lock drop / unqueue inside of fixup_pi_state() Fix 4) Fix a stale lock in the error path of futex_wake_pi() Added some error checks for verification. The -EDEADLK problem is solved by the rtmutex fixups.

2007-06-08SLUB: return ZERO_SIZE_PTR for kmalloc(0)Christoph Lameter
Instead of returning the smallest available object return ZERO_SIZE_PTR. A ZERO_SIZE_PTR can be legitimately used as an object pointer as long as it is not deferenced. The dereference of ZERO_SIZE_PTR causes a distinctive fault. kfree can handle a ZERO_SIZE_PTR in the same way as NULL. This enables functions to use zero sized object. e.g. n = number of objects. objects = kmalloc(n * sizeof(object)); for (i = 0; i < n; i++) objects[i].x = y; kfree(objects); Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Acked-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-06-08ide: HPA detect from resumeLee Trager
Currently when system which have HPA require HPA to be detected and disabled upon resume from RAM or disk. The current IDE drivers do not do this nor does libata (obviously it since it doesn't support HPA yet). I have implemented this into the current IDE drivers and it has been tested by many others since 7/15/2006 in bug number 6840: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6840 and it has been confirmed to work fine with no problems. bart: added drv != NULL check to generic_ide_suspend() From: Lee Trager <lt73@cs.drexel.edu> Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
2007-06-08V4L/DVB (5736): Add V4L2_FBUF_CAP/FLAG_LOCAL/GLOBAL_INV_ALPHAHans Verkuil
Michael Schimek requested the addition of inverted alpha framebuffer caps/flags to support such hardware. 'Normal' alpha uses this formula to mix the framebuffer and video: output = fb pixel * fb alpha + video pixel * (1 - fb alpha) and the 'inverted' alpha uses this formula: output = fb pixel * (1 - fb alpha) + video pixel * fb alpha Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>
