David S. Miller e24c2d963a [PATCH] PCI: DMA bursting advice
After seeing, at best, "guesses" as to the following kind
of information in several drivers, I decided that we really
need a way for platforms to specifically give advice in this
area for what works best with their PCI controller implementation.

Basically, this new interface gives DMA bursting advice on
PCI.  There are three forms of the advice:

1) Burst as much as possible, it is not necessary to end bursts
   on some particular boundary for best performance.

2) Burst on some byte count multiple.  A DMA burst to some multiple of
   number of bytes may be done, but it is important to end the burst
   on an exact multiple for best performance.

   The best example of this I am aware of are the PPC64 PCI
   controllers, where if you end a burst mid-cacheline then
   chip has to refetch the data and the IOMMU translations
   which hurts performance a lot.

3) Burst on a single byte count multiple.  Bursts shall end
   exactly on the next multiple boundary for best performance.

   Sparc64 and Alpha's PCI controllers operate this way.  They
   disconnect any device which tries to burst across a cacheline
   boundary.

   Actually, newer sparc64 PCI controllers do not have this behavior.
   That is why the "pdev" is passed into the interface, so I can
   add code later to check which PCI controller the system is using
   and give advice accordingly.

David S. Miller b445e26cbf [SPARC64]: Avoid membar instructions in delay slots.
In particular, avoid membar instructions in the delay
slot of a jmpl instruction.

UltraSPARC-I, II, IIi, and IIe have a bug, documented in
the UltraSPARC-IIi User's Manual, Appendix K, Erratum 51

The long and short of it is that if the IMU unit misses
on a branch or jmpl, and there is a store buffer synchronizing
membar in the delay slot, the chip can stop fetching instructions.

If interrupts are enabled or some other trap is enabled, the
chip will unwedge itself, but performance will suffer.

We already had a workaround for this bug in a few spots, but
it's better to have the entire tree sanitized for this rule.

Nick Piggin 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.

Paul E. McKenney 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.

Jesper Juhl dcd497f99a [PATCH] streamline preempt_count type across archs
The preempt_count member of struct thread_info is currently either defined
as int, unsigned int or __s32 depending on arch.  This patch makes the type
of preempt_count an int on all archs.

Having preempt_count be an unsigned type prevents the catching of
preempt_count < 0 bugs, and using int on some archs and __s32 on others is
not exactely "neat" - much nicer when it's just int all over.

A previous version of this patch was already ACK'ed by Robert Love, and the
only change in this version of the patch compared to the one he ACK'ed is
that this one also makes sure the preempt_count member is consistently
commented.

David Gibson 63551ae0fe [PATCH] Hugepage consolidation
A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar.  This patch
attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
combined version in mm/hugetlb.c.  There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
reduction in the total amount of code.  It also means things like hugepage
lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.

Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.

Notes:
	- this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more
	  analagous to set_pte()
	- does SH4 need s special huge_ptep_get_and_clear()??

Ingo Molnar 39c715b717 [PATCH] smp_processor_id() cleanup
This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that
Arjan van de Ven and I came up with.

The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API
spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the
usage side.

Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the
complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined
__smp_processor_id.

In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols:

 - smp_processor_id(): debug variant.

 - raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing
   uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined
   by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h.

There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT:

 - debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to
                             smp_processor_id().

Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new
lib/smp_processor_id.c file.  All related comments got updated and/or
clarified.

I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86:

 {SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT}

I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT.  (Other
architectures are untested, but should work just fine.)

Keir Fraser 07eee78ea8 [PATCH] AGP fix for Xen VMM
When Linux is running on the Xen virtual machine monitor, physical
addresses are virtualised and cannot be directly referenced by the AGP
GART.  This patch fixes the GART driver for Xen by adding a layer of
abstraction between physical addresses and 'GART addresses'.

Architecture-specific functions are also defined for allocating and freeing
the GATT.  Xen requires this to ensure that table really is contiguous from
the point of view of the GART.

These extra interface functions are defined as 'no-ops' for all existing
architectures that use the GART driver.

David S. Miller 7c963ad1d1 [SPARC64]: Fix streaming buffer flushing on PCI and SBUS.
Firstly, if the direction is TODEVICE, then dirty data in the
streaming cache is impossible so we can elide the flush-flag
synchronization in that case.

Next, the context allocator is broken.  It is highly likely
that contexts get used multiple times for different dma
mappings, which confuses the strbuf flushing code and makes
it run inefficiently.

David S. Miller 816242da37 [SPARC64]: Add boot option to force UltraSPARC-III P-Cache on.
Older UltraSPARC-III chips have a P-Cache bug that makes us disable it
by default at boot time.

However, this does hurt performance substantially, particularly with
memcpy(), and the bug is _incredibly_ obscure.  I have never seen it
triggered in practice, ever.

So provide a "-P" boot option that forces the P-Cache on.  It taints
the kernel, so if it does trigger and cause some data corruption or
OOPS, we will find out in the logs that this option was on when it
happened.

Stas Sergeev 7f261b5f0d [PATCH] move SA_xxx defines to linux/signal.h
The attached patch moves the IRQ-related SA_xxx flags (namely, SA_PROBE,

Right now, adding a new IRQ flag to the arch-specific header, like this

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/alsa/alsa-driver/utils/patches/pcsp-kernel-2.6.10-03.diff?rev=1.1
no longer works, it breaks the compilation for all other arches, unless you

David S. Miller dadeafdfc8 [PATCH] sparc64: Reduce ptrace cache flushing
We were flushing the D-cache excessively for ptrace() processing
and this makes debugging threads so slow as to be totally unusable.

All process page accesses via ptrace() go via access_process_vm().
This routine, for each process page, uses get_user_pages().  That
in turn does a flush_dcache_page() on the child pages before we
copy in/out the ptrace request data.

Therefore, all we need to do after the data movement is:

1) Flush the D-cache pages if the kernel maps the page to a different
   color than userspace does.
2) If we wrote to the page, we need to flush the I-cache on older cpus.

Previously we just flushed the entire cache at the end of a ptrace()
request, and that was beyond stupid.
