2006-11-03[PATCH] swsusp: debuggingRafael J. Wysocki1-1/+3
Add a swsusp debugging mode. This does everything that's needed for a suspend except for actually suspending. So we can look in the log messages and work out a) what code is being slow and b) which drivers are misbehaving. (1) # echo testproc > /sys/power/disk # echo disk > /sys/power/state This should turn off the non-boot CPU, freeze all processes, wait for 5 seconds and then thaw the processes and the CPU. (2) # echo test > /sys/power/disk # echo disk > /sys/power/state This should turn off the non-boot CPU, freeze all processes, shrink memory, suspend all devices, wait for 5 seconds, resume the devices etc. Cc: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> Cc: Stefan Seyfried <seife@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-11-03[PATCH] Add printk_timed_ratelimit()Andrew Morton1-0/+2
printk_ratelimit() has global state which makes it not useful for callers which wish to perform ratelimiting at a particular frequency. Add a printk_timed_ratelimit() which utilises caller-provided state storage to permit more flexibility. This function can in fact be used for things other than printk ratelimiting and is perhaps poorly named.

2006-11-03[PATCH] fix UFS superblock alignment issuesEric Sandeen1-1/+1
ufs2 fails to mount on x86_64, claiming bad magic. This is because ufs_super_block_third's fs_un1 member is padded out by 4 bytes for 8-byte alignment, pushing down the rest of the struct. Forcing this to be packed solves it. I took a quick look over other on-disk structures and didn't immediately find other problems. I was able to mount & ls a populated ufs2 filesystem w/ this change.

2006-11-01[POWERPC] Make mmiowb's io_sync preempt safeHugh Dickins1-2/+5
If mmiowb() is always used prior to releasing spinlock as Doc suggests, then it's safe against preemption; but I'm not convinced that's always the case. If preemption occurs between sync and get_paca()->io_sync = 0, I believe there's no problem. But in the unlikely event that gcc does the store relative to another register than r13 (as it did with current), then there's a small danger of setting another cpu's io_sync to 0, after it had just set it to 1. Rewrite ppc64 mmiowb to prevent that. The remaining io_sync assignments in io.h all get_paca()->io_sync = 1, which is harmless even if preempted to the wrong cpu (the context switch itself syncs); and those in spinlock.h are while preemption is disabled.

2006-11-01[POWERPC] Make current preempt-safeHugh Dickins1-1/+11
Repeated -j20 kernel builds on a G5 Quad running an SMP PREEMPT kernel would often collapse within a day, some exec failing with "Bad address". In each case examined, load_elf_binary was doing a kernel_read, but generic_file_aio_read's access_ok saw current->thread.fs.seg as USER_DS instead of KERNEL_DS. objdump of filemap.o shows gcc 4.1.0 emitting "mr r5,r13 ... ld r9,416(r5)" here for get_paca()->__current, instead of the expected and much more usual "ld r9,416(r13)"; I've seen other gcc4s do the same, but perhaps not gcc3s. So, if the task is preempted and rescheduled on a different cpu in between the mr and the ld, r5 will be looking at a different paca_struct from the one it's now on, pick up the wrong __current, and perhaps the wrong seg. Presumably much worse could happen elsewhere, though that split is rare. Other architectures appear to be safe (x86_64's read_pda is more limiting than get_paca), but ppc64 needs to force "current" into one instruction.

2006-11-01[POWERPC] Use 4kB iommu pages even on 64kB-page systemsLinas Vepstas2-3/+22
The 10Gigabit ethernet device drivers appear to be able to chew up all 256MB of TCE mappings on pSeries systems, as evidenced by numerous error messages: iommu_alloc failed, tbl c0000000010d5c48 vaddr c0000000d875eff0 npages 1 Some experimentation indicates that this is essentially because one 1500 byte ethernet MTU gets mapped as a 64K DMA region when the large 64K pages are enabled. Thus, it doesn't take much to exhaust all of the available DMA mappings for a high-speed card. This patch changes the iommu allocator to work with its own unique, distinct page size. Although the patch is long, its actually quite simple: it just #defines a distinct IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE and then uses this in all the places that matter. As a side effect, it also dramatically improves network performance on platforms with H-calls on iommu translation inserts/removes (since we no longer call it 16 times for a 1500 bytes packet when the iommu HW is still 4k). In the future, we might want to make the IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE a variable in the iommu_table instance, thus allowing support for different HW page sizes in the iommu itself.

2006-11-01[POWERPC] Fix oprofile support for e500 in arch/powerpcAndy Fleming2-15/+85
Fixed a compile error in building the 85xx support with oprofile, and in the process cleaned up some issues with the fsl_booke performance monitor code. * Reorganized FSL Book-E performance monitoring code so that the 7450 wouldn't be built if the e500 was, and cleaned it up so it was more self-contained. * Added a cpu_setup function for FSL Book-E. The original cpu_setup function prototype had no arguments, assuming that the reg_setup function would copy the required information into variables which represented the registers. This was silly for e500, since it has 1 register per counter (rather than 3 for all counters), so the code has been restructured to have cpu_setup take the current counter config array as an argument, with op_powerpc_setup() invoking op_powerpc_cpu_setup() through on_each_cpu(), and op_powerpc_cpu_setup() invoking the model-specific cpu_setup function with an argument. The argument is ignored on all other platforms at present. * Fixed a confusing line where a trinary operator only had two arguments Signed-off-by: Andrew Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-10-28[PATCH] vmscan: Fix temp_priority raceMartin Bligh1-5/+1
The temp_priority field in zone is racy, as we can walk through a reclaim path, and just before we copy it into prev_priority, it can be overwritten (say with DEF_PRIORITY) by another reclaimer. The same bug is contained in both try_to_free_pages and balance_pgdat, but it is fixed slightly differently. In balance_pgdat, we keep a separate priority record per zone in a local array. In try_to_free_pages there is no need to do this, as the priority level is the same for all zones that we reclaim from. Impact of this bug is that temp_priority is copied into prev_priority, and setting this artificially high causes reclaimers to set distress artificially low. They then fail to reclaim mapped pages, when they are, in fact, under severe memory pressure (their priority may be as low as 0). This causes the OOM killer to fire incorrectly. From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> __zone_reclaim() isn't modifying zone->prev_priority. But zone->prev_priority is used in the decision whether or not to bring mapped pages onto the inactive list. Hence there's a risk here that __zone_reclaim() will fail because zone->prev_priority ir large (ie: low urgency) and lots of mapped pages end up stuck on the active list. Fix that up by decreasing (ie making more urgent) zone->prev_priority as __zone_reclaim() scans the zone's pages. This bug perhaps explains why ZONE_RECLAIM_PRIORITY was created. It should be possible to remove that now, and to just start out at DEF_PRIORITY?

2006-10-27[PATCH] drivers: wait for threaded probes between initcall levelsAndrew Morton2-10/+27
The multithreaded-probing code has a problem: after one initcall level (eg, core_initcall) has been processed, we will then start processing the next level (postcore_initcall) while the kernel threads which are handling core_initcall are still executing. This breaks the guarantees which the layered initcalls previously gave us. IOW, we want to be multithreaded _within_ an initcall level, but not between different levels. Fix that up by causing the probing code to wait for all outstanding probes at one level to complete before we start processing the next level.

2006-10-27[PATCH] vmlinux.lds: consolidate initcall sectionsAndrew Morton1-0/+10
Add a vmlinux.lds.h helper macro for defining the eight-level initcall table, teach all the architectures to use it. This is a prerequisite for a patch which performs initcall synchronisation for multithreaded-probing.

Don't PAGE_SHIFT pointer before handing it to virt_to_page() in xlate_dev_kmem_ptr() as it results in a double shift. Spotted by Bob Montgomery. Signed-off-by: Jes Sorensen <jes@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2006-10-25[PATCH] AVR32: add io{read,write}{8,16,32}{be,} supportBen Nizette1-0/+33
A number of new drivers require io{read,write}{8,16,32}{be,} family of io operations. These are provided for the AVR32 by this patch in the form of a series of macros. Access to the (memory mapped) io space through these macros is defined to be little endian only as little endian devices (such as PCI) are the main consumer of IO access. If high speed access is required, io{read,write}{16,32}be macros are supplied to perform native big endian access to this io space.

2006-10-25[PATCH] AVR32: Fix oversize immediates in atomic.hHaavard Skinnemoen1-4/+4
When calling e.g. atomic_sub_return with a large constant, the compiler may output an immediate that is too large for the sub instruction in the middle of the loop. Fix this by explicitly specifying the number of bits allowed in the constraint. Also stop atomic_add_return() and friends from falling back to their respective "sub" variants if the constant is too large to fit in an immediate.
