Compound pages on SMP systems can now often be freed from pagetables via
the release_pages path. This uses put_page_testzero which does not handle
compound pages at all. Releasing constituent pages from process mappings
decrements their count to a large negative number and leaks the reference
at the head page - net result is a memory leak.
The problem was hidden because the debug check in put_page_testzero itself
actually did take compound pages into consideration.
Fix the bug and the debug check.

With the latest 2.6.15 kernel builds for alpha on Debian, we ran into a
problem with undefined references to __cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer() in
a couple of kernel modules (xfs.ko and drm.ko; see
http://bugs.debian.org/347556).
It looks like people have been trying to out-clever each other wrt the
definition of "inline" on this architecture :), with the result that
__cmpxchg(), which must be inlined so the compiler can see its argument is
const, is not guaranteed to be inlined. Indeed, it was not being inlined
when building with -Os.
The attached patch fixes the issue by adding an
__attribute__((always_inline)) explicitly to the definition of __cmpxchg()
instead of relying on redefines of "inline" elsewhere to make this happen.

Currently, x86_64 and ia64 arches do not clear the corresponding bits in
the node's cpumask when a cpu goes down or cpu bring up is cancelled. This
is buggy since there are pieces of common code where the cpumask is checked
in the cpu down code path to decide on things (like in the slab down path).
PPC does the right thing, but x86_64 and ia64 don't (This was the reason
Sonny hit upon a slab bug during cpu offline on ppc and could not reproduce
on other arches). This patch fixes it for x86_64. I won't attempt ia64 as
I cannot test it.
Credit for spotting this should go to Alok.
(akpm: this was applied, then reverted. But it's OK now because we now use
for_each_cpu() in the right places).

I've noticed that PCI clock was incorrectly reported as 66 MHz while being
mere 33 MHz on RBTX4937 board -- this was due to the different encoding of
the PCI divisor field in CCFG register between TX4927 and TX4937 chips...
Also, RBTX49x7 was printed out as a CPU name (e.g., "CPU is RBTX4937");
and some debug printk() were duplicating each other...

If mfc0 $12 follows store and the mfc0 is last instruction of a
page and fetching the next instruction causes TLB miss, the result
of the mfc0 might wrongly contain EXL bit.
ERT-TX49H2-027, ERT-TX49H3-012, ERT-TX49HL3-006, ERT-TX49H4-008
Workaround: mask EXL bit of the result or place a nop before mfc0. It
doesn't harm to always clear those bits, so we change the code to do so.

Ben points out that:
When writing files out using O_SYNC, jbd's 1 jiffy delay results in a
significant drop in throughput as the disk sits idle. The patch below
results in a 4-5x performance improvement (from 6.5MB/s to ~24-30MB/s on my
IDE test box) when writing out files using O_SYNC.
So optimise the batching code by omitting it entirely if the process which is
doing a sync write is the same as the one which did the most recent sync
write. If that's true, we're unlikely to get any other processes joining the
transaction.
(Has been in -mm for ages - it took me a long time to get on to performance
testing it)
Numbers, on write-cache-disabled IDE:
/usr/bin/time -p synctest -n 10 -uf -t 1 -p 1 dir-name
Unpatched:
40 seconds
Patched:
35 seconds
Batching disabled:
35 seconds
This is the problematic single-process-doing-fsync case. With multiple
fsyncing processes the numbers are AFACIT unaltered by the patch.
Aside: performance testing and instrumentation shows that the transaction
batching almost doesn't help (testing with synctest -n 1 -uf -t 100 -p 10
dir-name on non-writeback-caching IDE). This is because by the time one
process is running a synchronous commit, a bunch of other processes already
have a transaction handle open, so they're all going to batch into the same
transaction anyway.
The batching seems to offer maybe 5-10% speedup with this workload, but I'm
pretty sure it was more important than that when it was first developed 4-odd
years ago...

The pktcdvd driver uses a compile time macro constant to define the maximum
supported packet length. I changed this from 32 sectors to 128 sectors
because that allows over 100 MB of additional usable space on a 700 MB cdrw,
and increases throughput.
Note that you need a modified cdrwtool program that can format a CDRW disc
with larger packets to benefit from this change.

The pktcdvd driver was using an 8 bit field to store the packet length
obtained from the disc track info. This causes it to overflow packet length
values of 128KB or more. I changed the field to 32 bits to fix this.
The pktcdvd driver defaulted to its maximum allowed packet length when it
detected a 0 in the track info field. I changed this to fail the operation
and refuse to access the media. This seems more sane than attempting to
access it with a value that almost certainly will not work.

On some broken motherboards (at least one NForce3 based AMD64 laptop)
the PIT timer runs at a incorrect frequency. This patch adds a new
option "apicpmtimer" that allows to use the APIC timer and calibrate it
using the PMTimer. It requires the earlier patch that allows to run the
main timer from the APIC.
Specifying apicpmtimer implies apicmaintimer.
The option defaults to off for now.
I tested it on a few systems and the resulting APIC timer frequencies
were usually a bit off, but always <1%, which should be tolerable.
TBD figure out heuristic to enable this automatically on the affected
systems TBD perhaps do it on all NForce3s or using DMI?

This is temporary until we can get new optimized functions

This undoes changes that were done in 2.6.15 and in 2.6.16-rc1,
essentially bringing the code back to 2.6.14 level. Only change
is I renamed the X86_FEATURE_K8_C flag to X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD

Another piece from the no-idle-tick patch.
This can be enabled with the "apicmaintimer" option.
This is mainly useful when the PIT/HPET interrupt is unreliable.
Note there are some systems that are known to stop the APIC
timer in C3. For those it will never work, but this case
should be automatically detected.
It also only works with PM timer right now. When HPET is used
the way the main timer handler computes the delay doesn't work.
It should be a bit more efficient because there is one less
regular interrupt to process on the boot processor.
Requires earlier bugfix from Venkatesh
