60bad7fadf [PATCH] kexec: vmlinux: fix physical addresses
In vmlinux.lds.h the code is carefull to define every section so vmlinux
properly reports the correct physical load address of code, as well as
it's virtual address.

The new SECURITY_INIT definition fails to follow that convention and
and causes incorrect physical address to appear in the vmlinux if
there are any security initcalls.

This patch updates the SECURITY_INIT to follow the convention in the rest of
the file.

208fb93162 [PATCH] kexec: x86_64: restore apic virtual wire mode on shutdown
When coming out of apic mode attempt to set the appropriate
apic back into virtual wire mode.  This improves on previous versions
of this patch by by never setting bot the local apic and the ioapic
into veritual wire mode.

This code looks at data from the mptable to see if an ioapic has
an ExtInt input to make this decision.  A future improvement
is to figure out which apic or ioapic was in virtual wire mode
at boot time and to remember it.  That is potentially a more accurate
method, of selecting which apic to place in virutal wire mode.

From: "Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@linux-mips.org>

Fix a kexec problem whcih causes local APIC detection failure.

The problem is detect_init_APIC() is called early, before the command line

yet.

f8cbd99bd3 [PATCH] sched: voluntary kernel preemption
This patch adds a new preemption model: 'Voluntary Kernel Preemption'.  The
3 models can be selected from a new menu:

            (X) No Forced Preemption (Server)
            ( ) Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop)
            ( ) Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop)

we still default to the stock (Server) preemption model.

Voluntary preemption works by adding a cond_resched()
(reschedule-if-needed) call to every might_sleep() check.  It is lighter
than CONFIG_PREEMPT - at the cost of not having as tight latencies.  It
represents a different latency/complexity/overhead tradeoff.

It has no runtime impact at all if disabled.  Here are size stats that show
how the various preemption models impact the kernel's size:

    text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 3618774  547184  179896 4345854  424ffe vmlinux.stock
 3626406  547184  179896 4353486  426dce vmlinux.voluntary   +0.2%
 3748414  548640  179896 4476950  445016 vmlinux.preempt     +3.5%

voluntary-preempt is +0.2% of .text, preempt is +3.5%.

This feature has been tested for many months by lots of people (and it's
also included in the RHEL4 distribution and earlier variants were in Fedora
as well), and it's intended for users and distributions who dont want to
use full-blown CONFIG_PREEMPT for one reason or another.

1a20ff27ef [PATCH] Dynamic sched domains: sched changes
The following patches add dynamic sched domains functionality that was
extensively discussed on lkml and lse-tech.  I would like to see this added to
-mm

o The main advantage with this feature is that it ensures that the scheduler
  load balacing code only balances against the cpus that are in the sched
  domain as defined by an exclusive cpuset and not all of the cpus in the
  system. This removes any overhead due to load balancing code trying to
  pull tasks outside of the cpu exclusive cpuset only to be prevented by
  the tasks' cpus_allowed mask.
o cpu exclusive cpusets are useful for servers running orthogonal
  workloads such as RT applications requiring low latency and HPC
  applications that are throughput sensitive

o It provides a new API partition_sched_domains in sched.c
  that makes dynamic sched domains possible.
o cpu_exclusive cpusets sets are now associated with a sched domain.
  Which means that the users can dynamically modify the sched domains
  through the cpuset file system interface
o ia64 sched domain code has been updated to support this feature as well
o Currently, this does not support hotplug. (However some of my tests
  indicate hotplug+preempt is currently broken)
o I have tested it extensively on x86.
o This should have very minimal impact on performance as none of
  the fast paths are affected

distinguishing fork and exec?

4866cde064 [PATCH] sched: cleanup context switch locking
Instead of requiring architecture code to interact with the scheduler's
locking implementation, provide a couple of defines that can be used by the
architecture to request runqueue unlocked context switches, and ask for
interrupts to be enabled over the context switch.

Also replaces the "switch_lock" used by these architectures with an oncpu
flag (note, not a potentially slow bitflag).  This eliminates one bus
locked memory operation when context switching, and simplifies the
task_running function.

147cbb4bbe [PATCH] sched: balance on fork
Reimplement the balance on exec balancing to be sched-domains aware.  Use this
to also do balance on fork balancing.  Make x86_64 do balance on fork over the
NUMA domain.

The problem that the non sched domains aware blancing became apparent on dual
core, multi socket opterons.  What we want is for the new tasks to be sent to
a different socket, but more often than not, we would first load up our
sibling core, or fill two cores of a single remote socket before selecting a
new one.

This gives large improvements to STREAM on such systems.

7897986bad [PATCH] sched: balance timers
Do CPU load averaging over a number of different intervals.  Allow each
interval to be chosen by sending a parameter to source_load and target_load.
0 is instantaneous, idx > 0 returns a decaying average with the most recent
sample weighted at 2^(idx-1).  To a maximum of 3 (could be easily increased).

So generally a higher number will result in more conservative balancing.

b2b1866006 [PATCH] RCU: clean up a few remaining synchronize_kernel() calls
2.6.12-rc6-mm1 has a few remaining synchronize_kernel()s, some (but not
all) in comments.  This patch changes these synchronize_kernel() calls (and
comments) to synchronize_rcu() or synchronize_sched() as follows:

- arch/x86_64/kernel/mce.c mce_read(): change to synchronize_sched() to
  handle races with machine-check exceptions (synchronize_rcu() would not cut
  it given RCU implementations intended for hardcore realtime use.

- drivers/input/serio/i8042.c i8042_stop(): change to synchronize_sched() to
  handle races with i8042_interrupt() interrupt handler.  Again,
  synchronize_rcu() would not cut it given RCU implementations intended for
  hardcore realtime use.

- include/*/kdebug.h comments: change to synchronize_sched() to handle races
  with NMIs.  As before, synchronize_rcu() would not cut it...

- include/linux/list.h comment: change to synchronize_rcu(), since this
  comment is for list_del_rcu().

- security/keys/key.c unregister_key_type(): change to synchronize_rcu(),
  since this is interacting with RCU read side.

- security/keys/process_keys.c install_session_keyring(): change to
  synchronize_rcu(), since this is interacting with RCU read side.

66a464dbc8 [PATCH] s390: debug feature changes
This patch changes the memory allocation method for the s390 debug feature.
Trace buffers had been allocated using the get_free_pages() function before.
Therefore it was not possible to get big memory areas in a running system due
to memory fragmentation.  Now the trace buffers are subdivided into several
subbuffers with pagesize.  Therefore it is now possible to allocate more
memory for the trace buffers and more trace records can be written.

In addition to that, dynamic specification of the size of the trace buffers is
implemented.  It is now possible to change the size of a trace buffer using a
new debugfs file instance.  When writing a number into this file, the trace
buffer size is changed to 'number * pagesize'.

In the past all the traces could be obtained from userspace by accessing files
in the "proc" filesystem.  Now with debugfs we have a new filesystem which
should be used for debugging purposes.  This patch moves the debug feature
from procfs to debugfs.

Since the interface of debug_register() changed, all device drivers, which use
the debug feature had to be adjusted.

884d9e40b4 [PATCH] x86_64: Dont use broadcast shortcut to make it cpu hotplug safe.
Broadcast IPI's provide un-expected behaviour for cpu hotplug.  CPU's in
offline state also end up receiving the IPI.  Once the cpus become online they
receive these stale IPI's which are bad and introduce unexpected behaviour.

This is easily avoided by not sending a broadcast and addressing just the
CPU's in online map.  Doing prelim cycle counts it appears there is no big
overhead and numbers seem around 0x3000-0x3900 on an average on x86 and x86_64
systems with CPUS running 3G, both for broadcast and mask version of the
API's.

The shortcuts are useful only for flat mode (where the perf shows no
degradation), and in cluster mode, its unicast anyway.  Its simpler to just
not use broadcast anymore.

This patch adds __cpuinit and __cpuinitdata sections that need to exist past
boot to support cpu hotplug.

Caveat: This is done *only* for EM64T CPU Hotplug support, on request from
Andi Kleen.  Much of the generic hotplug code in kernel, and none of the other
archs that support CPU hotplug today, i386, ia64, ppc64, s390 and parisc dont
mark sections with __cpuinit, but only mark them as __devinit, and
__devinitdata.

If someone is motivated to change generic code, we need to make sure all
existing hotplug code does not break, on other arch's that dont use __cpuinit,
and __cpudevinit.

which is a problem and can cause undesirable effects.

f370513640 [PATCH] i386 CPU hotplug
(The i386 CPU hotplug patch provides infrastructure for some work which Pavel
is doing as well as for ACPI S3 (suspend-to-RAM) work which Li Shaohua
<shaohua.li@intel.com> is doing)

The following provides i386 architecture support for safely unregistering and
registering processors during runtime, updated for the current -mm tree.  In
order to avoid dumping cpu hotplug code into kernel/irq/* i dropped the
cpu_online check in do_IRQ() by modifying fixup_irqs().  The difference being
that on cpu offline, fixup_irqs() is called before we clear the cpu from
cpu_online_map and a long delay in order to ensure that we never have any
queued external interrupts on the APICs.  There are additional changes to s390
and ppc64 to account for this change.

1) Add CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
2) disable local APIC timer on dead cpus.
3) Disable preempt around irq balancing to prevent CPUs going down.
4) Print irq stats for all possible cpus.
5) Debugging check for interrupts on offline cpus.
6) Hacky fixup_irqs() to redirect irqs when cpus go off/online.
7) play_dead() for offline cpus to spin inside.
8) Handle offline cpus set in flush_tlb_others().
9) Grab lock earlier in smp_call_function() to prevent CPUs going down.
10) Implement __cpu_disable() and __cpu_die().
11) Enable local interrupts in cpu_enable() after fixup_irqs()
12) Don't fiddle with NMI on dead cpu, but leave intact on other cpus.
13) Program IRQ affinity whilst cpu is still in cpu_online_map on offline.

The e200 core is a Book-E core (similar to e500) that has a unified L1 cache
and is not cache coherent on the bus.  The e200 core also adds a separate
exception level for debug exceptions.  Part of this patch helps to cleanup a
few cases that are true for all Freescale Book-E parts, not just e500.

I8K: Change to use stock dmi infrastructure instead of homegrown

     list of supported models so driver can be safely compiled-in

8749af6821 [PATCH] ARM: Generic Dynamic Tick Timer support for ARM, take 4
This patch adds support for Dynamic Tick Timer for ARM. Dynamic Tick is
also known as VST (Variable Scheduling Timeouts).

Dynamic Tick has been in use in the OMAP tree since last October.  The
patch is not intrusive, and does not do anything unless CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ
is defined.  This patch has the following fixed based on comments from
RMK:
- Time is updated before calling interrupt handlers.
- Added new interrupt flag SA_TIMER to avoid duplicate timer interrupts
- Moved struct dyn_tick_timer to time.h until we at some point probably
  have an arch independent dyn-tick.h
- Cleaned up testing for DYN_TICK_ENABLED in irq.c

 I've cleaned up this patch to fix some remaining issues:
 - Call the timer tick handler with irqs disabled, as it would be from
   a normal interrupt
 - if we have a dyn_tick, we better implement all methods.
 - generic timer_dyn_reprogram() call, to be called before sleeping
 - added command line option - "dyntick=" to allow boot-time control
   of this feature

321ab6a5fa [PATCH] ARM: 2752/1: disable ixp2000 PCI I/O software workaround on chips that don't need it
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

The later ixp2000 models don't need the PCI I/O workaround that we
currently perform.  Add a config option to disable the workaround,
and panic on boot if a kernel without the workaround is booted on a
buggy chip.  As only pre-production ixp2000s need the workaround,
the default is for it not to be configured in.

2966207c7e [PATCH] ARM: 2748/1: ixp2000 implementation of the iomap api
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

A number of ixp2000 models have a bug where the byte lanes for PCI I/O
transactions are swapped.  We already work around this in our versions
of {in,out}{b,w,l}, but we also need to perform these workarounds in a
custom implementation of the new iomap API, provided in this patch.

This patch conditionalises the io{read,write}{8,16,32} defines and the
prototypes for ioport_map/ioport_unmap in asm-arm/io.h on ioread8 not
already having been defined.  This is done so that platforms can provide
their own implementation of the iomap API, ixp2000 for example needs
this.

Patch from Deepak Saxena

Current IXP4xx debug macros do not work in the small window between
the MMU being enabled and the call to map_io() b/c the standard
peripheral mapping is not properly setup for use with the low-level
debug code. This patch creates a new section-aligned mapping for the
UART specifically for use with the debug macros.

793ae77469 Add "memory" clobbers to the x86 inline asm of strncmp and friends
They don't actually clobber memory, but gcc doesn't even know they
_read_ memory, so can apparently re-order memory accesses around them.

Which obviously does the wrong thing if the memory access happens to
change the memory that the compare function is accessing..

eb6fe0c388 [PATCH] xip: reduce code duplication
This patch reworks filemap_xip.c with the goal to reduce code duplication
from mm/filemap.c.  It applies agains 2.6.12-rc6-mm1.  Instead of
implementing the aio functions, this one implements the synchronous
read/write functions only.  For readv and writev, the generic fallback is
used.  For aio, we rely on the application doing the fallback.  Since our
"synchronous" function does memcpy immediately anyway, there is no
performance difference between using the fallbacks or implementing each
operation.
