9ab34fe761 [PATCH] enable unit-at-a-time optimisations for gcc4
Allow gcc4 compilers to optimize unit-at-a-time.

This flag enables gcc to "see" the entire C file before making optimisation
decisions such as inline, which results in gcc making better decisions.  One
of the immediate effects of this is that static functions that are used only
once now get inlined.

gcc 3.4 has this flag as well, however gcc 3.x have a problem with inlining
and stacks and as a result, enabling this flag there would cause excessive and
unacceptable stack use.  This problem is fixed in the gcc 4.x series.  The
x86-64 architecture already enables this feature so it's well tested already.

a80da73898 [PATCH] gx1fb: (try to) play nicer with various BIOSes
Seems that the CS5530A chip used in Geode GX1 systems has some crazy feature
that causes SMI traps when accessing the PCI configuration space of the video
device.  Various GX1 BIOSes seem to use this 'feature' to hide the real BARs
of the device.  This patch disables these traps (in an early PCI fixup) so
that Linux sees the real, physical BARs and not the virtual ones provided by
the BIOS.

This should allow the GX1 framebuffer driver to work on more systems that have
different BIOSes as the driver no longer guesses at what the virtual BARs
mean.

I'm not entirely sure it the correct solution as I can neither test regular
VGA console nor the X's 'cyrix' video driver so there might be some breakage
there -- probably best to get some more testers before applying it.

198e2f1811 [PATCH] scheduler cache-hot-autodetect
)

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]:

 ---------------------
 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.

1008fddcae [PATCH] x86_64: Memorize location of i8259 for reboots.
Currently we attempt to restore virtual wire mode on reboot, which only
works if we can figure out where the i8259 is connected.  This is very
useful when we are kexec another kernel and likely helpful to an peculiar
BIOS that make assumptions about how the system is setup.

Since the acpi MADT table does not provide the location where the i8259 is
connected we have to look at the hardware to figure it out.

Most systems have the i8259 connected the local apic of the cpu so won't be
affected but people running Opteron and some serverworks chipsets should be
able to use kexec now.

In addition this patch removes the hard coded assumption that the io_apic
that delivers isa interrups is always known to the kernel as io_apic 0.
There does not appear to be anything to guarantee that assumption is true.

And From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com>

  A minor fix to the patch which remembers the location of where i8259 is
  connected.  Now counter i has been replaced by apic.  counter i is having
  some junk value which was leading to non-detection of i8259 connected to
  IOAPIC.

It is a bit simplified there because there is no need
to do it very early on x86-64. This means it doesn't need
early ioremap et.al. We run it as a core initcall right now.

6e3fbee5f1 [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Don't IPI to offline cpus on shutdown
So why are we calling smp_send_stop from machine_halt?

We don't.

Looking more closely at the bug report the problem here
is that halt -p is called which triggers not a halt but
an attempt to power off.

machine_power_off calls machine_shutdown which calls smp_send_stop.

If pm_power_off is set we should never make it out machine_power_off
to the call of do_exit.  So pm_power_off must not be set in this case.
When pm_power_off is not set we expect machine_power_off to devolve
into machine_halt.

So how do we fix this?

Playing too much with smp_send_stop is dangerous because it
must also be safe to be called from panic.

It looks like the obviously correct fix is to only call
machine_shutdown when pm_power_off is defined.  Doing
that will make Andi's assumption about not scheduling
true and generally simplify what must be supported.

This turns machine_power_off into a noop like machine_halt
when pm_power_off is not defined.

If the expected behavior is that sys_reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_POWER_OFF)
becomes sys_reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_HALT) if pm_power_off is NULL
this is not quite a comprehensive fix as we pass a different parameter
to the reboot notifier and we set system_state to a different value
before calling device_shutdown().

Unfortunately any fix more comprehensive I can think of is not
obviously correct.  The core problem is that there is no architecture
independent way to detect if machine_power will become a noop, without
calling it.

49a2a1b83b [PATCH] kprobes: changed from using spinlock to mutex
Since Kprobes runtime exception handlers is now lock free as this code path is
now using RCU to walk through the list, there is no need for the
register/unregister{_kprobe} to use spin_{lock/unlock}_isr{save/restore}.  The
serialization during registration/unregistration is now possible using just a
mutex.

In the above process, this patch also fixes a minor memory leak for x86_64 and
powerpc.

05970d476f [PATCH] kexec: change CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START dependency
I have heard some complaints about people not finding CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
option and also some objections about its dependency on CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
The following patch ends that dependency.  I thought of hiding it under
CONFIG_KEXEC, but CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START could also be used for some reasons
other than kexec/kdump and hence left it visible.  I will also update the
documentation accordingly.

o Following patch removes the config dependency of CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START
  on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. The reason being CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP option for
  kdump needs CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START which makes CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depend
  on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. It is not always obvious for kdump users to choose
  CONFIG_EMBEDDED.

o It also shifts the palce where this option appears, to make it closer
  to kexec and kdump options.

e996e58133 [PATCH] kdump: save registers early (inline functions)
- If system panics then cpu register states are captured through funciton
  crash_get_current_regs().  This is not a inline function hence a stack frame
  is pushed on to the stack and then cpu register state is captured.  Later
  this frame is popped and new frames are pushed (machine_kexec).

- In theory this is not very right as we are capturing register states for a
  frame and that frame is no more valid.  This seems to have created back
  trace problems for ppc64.

- This patch fixes it up.  The very first thing it does after entering
  crash_kexec() is to capture the register states.  Anyway we don't want the
  back trace beyond crash_kexec().  crash_get_current_regs() has been made
  inline

- crash_setup_regs() is the top architecture dependent function which should
  be responsible for capturing the register states as well as to do some
  architecture dependent tricks.  For ex.  fixing up ss and esp for i386.
  crash_setup_regs() has also been made inline to ensure no new call frame is
  pushed onto stack.

cc57165874 [PATCH] kdump: dynamic per cpu allocation of memory for saving cpu registers
- In case of system crash, current state of cpu registers is saved in memory
  in elf note format.  So far memory for storing elf notes was being allocated
  statically for NR_CPUS.

- This patch introduces dynamic allocation of memory for storing elf notes.
  It uses alloc_percpu() interface.  This should lead to better memory usage.

- Introduced based on Andi Kleen's and Eric W. Biederman's suggestions.

- This patch also moves memory allocation for elf notes from architecture
  dependent portion to architecture independent portion.  Now crash_notes is
  architecture independent.  The whole idea is that size of memory to be
  allocated per cpu (MAX_NOTE_BYTES) can be architecture dependent and
  allocation of this memory can be architecture independent.

39743889aa [PATCH] Swap Migration V5: sys_migrate_pages interface
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.

76865c3f87 [PATCH] i386: ioapic virtual wire mode fix
o Currently, during kexec reboot, IOAPIC is re-programmed back to virtual
  wire mode if there was an i8259 connected to it. This enables getting
  timer interrupts in second kernel in legacy mode.

o After putting into virtual wire mode, IOAPIC delivers the i8259 interrupts
  to CPU0. This works well for kexec but not for kdump as we might crash
  on a different CPU and second kernel will not see timer interrupts.

o This patch modifies the redirection table entry to deliver the timer
  interrupts to the cpu we are rebooting (instead of hardcoding to zero).
  This ensures that second kernel receives timer interrupts even on a
  non-boot cpu.

3841b0a173 [PATCH] APM Screen Blanking fix
- Fix screen blanking on BIOSes that return APM_NOT_ENGAGED when APM enabled
  screen blanking is not turned on.

  The original code only tried to set the state on device 0x100, and then
  0x1FF, and I added 0x101 to the mix too.

- Clean up logic in apm_console_blank().

- Prevent the error message from printing out twice.

f8af095d3a [PATCH] x86: change_page_attr() fix
The 'make rodata read-only' patch in -mm exposes a latent bug in the 32-bit
change_page_attr() function, which causes certain CPUs (Those with NX
basically) to reboot instantly after pages are marked read-only.

The same bug got fixed a while back on x86-64, but never got propagated to
i386.

Stuart Hayes from Dell also picked up on this last June, but it never got
fixed, as the only thing affected by it aparently was the nvidia driver.

Blatantly stealing description from his post..

"It doesn't appear to be fixed (in the i386 arch).  The
 change_page_attr()/split_large_page() code will still still set all the
 4K PTEs to PAGE_KERNEL (setting the _PAGE_NX bit) when a large page
 needs to be split.

 This wouldn't be a problem for the bulk of the kernel memory, but there
 are pages in the lower 4MB of memory that's free, and are part of large
 executable pages that also contain kernel code.  If change_page_attr()
 is called on these, it will set the _PAGE_NX bit on the whole 2MB region
 that was covered by the large page, causing a large chunk of kernel code
 to be non-executable."

The plan is to have no options and no selector as normal when

options for X86_PC whilst maintaining DISCONTIGMEM and SPARSEMEM for NUMA.

set them in the GDT rather than adding more code.  It would be nice to add

I can wiggle this in later, but getting it in before the subsys init looks
tricky.

Also, make some progress on deprecating the ugly Q_SET_SEL macros.

5fe9fe3c6f [PATCH] x86: Pnp byte granularity
The one remaining caller of set_limit, the PnP BIOS code, calls into the PnP
BIOS, passing kernel parameters in and out.  These parameteres may be passed
from arbitrary kernel virtual memory, so they deserve strict protection to
stop a bad BIOS from smashing beyond the object size.

Unfortunately, the use of set_limit was badly botching this by setting the
limit in terms of pages, when it really should have byte granularity.

When doing this, I discovered my BIOS had the buggy code during the "get
system device node" call:

 mov ax, es:[bx]

Which is harmless, but has a trivial workaround.

3012d2d209 [PATCH] x86: Always relax segments
APM BIOSes have many bugs regarding proper representation of the appropriate
segment limits for calling the BIOS.  By default, APM_RELAX_SEGMENTS is always
turned on to support running the APM BIOS on these buggy machines.  Keeping
64k limits poses very little danger to the kernel, because the pages where the
APM BIOS is located will always be in low physical memory BIOS areas, which
should already be marked reserved, and only buggy BIOSes would possibly
overstep the segment bounds with writes to data anyway.

Since forcing stricter limits breaks many machines and is not default
behavior, it seems reasonable to deprecate the older code which may cause APM
BIOS to fault.

If you really have a badly enough broken APM BIOS that you have to turn off
APM_RELAX_SEGMENTS, seems like the best recourse here would be to disable the
APM BIOS and / or not compile it into your kernel to begin with, and / or add
your system to the known bad list.

The reason I want to deprecate this code is there is underlying brokenness
with the set_limit macros, and getting rid of many of the call sites rather
than rewriting them seems to be the simplest and most correct course of
action.
