Change the list of cpus allowed to tasks in the top (root) cpuset to
dynamically track what cpus are online, using a CPU hotplug notifier. Make
this top cpus file read-only.
On systems that have cpusets configured in their kernel, but that aren't
actively using cpusets (for some distros, this covers the majority of
systems) all tasks end up in the top cpuset.
If that system does support CPU hotplug, then these tasks cannot make use
of CPUs that are added after system boot, because the CPUs are not allowed
in the top cpuset. This is a surprising regression over earlier kernels
that didn't have cpusets enabled.
In order to keep the behaviour of cpusets consistent between systems
actively making use of them and systems not using them, this patch changes
the behaviour of the 'cpus' file in the top (root) cpuset, making it read
only, and making it automatically track the value of cpu_online_map. Thus
tasks in the top cpuset will have automatic use of hot plugged CPUs allowed
by their cpuset.
Thanks to Anton Blanchard and Nathan Lynch for reporting this problem,
driving the fix, and earlier versions of this patch.

I just stumbled on this bug/feature, this is how to reproduce it:
# echo 450000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
# echo 450000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
# echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
# cpufreq-info -p
450000 450000 powersave
# echo 1800000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq ; echo $?
0
# cpufreq-info -p
450000 450000 powersave
Here it is. The kernel refuses to set a min_freq higher than the
max_freq but it allows a max_freq lower than min_freq (lowering min_freq
also).
This behaviour is pretty straightforward (but undocumented) and it
doesn't return an error altough failing to accomplish the requested
action (set min_freq).
The problem (IMO) is basically that userspace is not allowed to set a
full policy atomically while the kernel always does that thus it must
enforce an ordering on operations.
The attached patch returns -EINVAL if trying to increase frequencies
starting from scaling_min_freq and documents the correct ordering of writes.

The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and
dynamically-linked executables. The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces
".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the
dynamic linker. The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls
whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both. In some
new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu
to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in
producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash". The new ".gnu.hash" sections need
to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the
dynamic linker cares about their contents. To work with older dynamic
linkers (i.e. preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old
".hash" section. The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new
dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can
still handle.
The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO
images for the kernel. On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time
panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed.
This patch addresses the problem in two ways.
First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash".
This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools),
with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both.
Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO
images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced. This is the most
conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland. There is some
concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production
system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries. The optimizations
provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO
with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has. If someone wants to use
=gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that
compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will
make any choice work fine.

Enable delay accounting by default so that feature gets coverage testing
without requiring special measures.
Earlier, it was off by default and had to be enabled via a boot time param.
This patch reverses the default behaviour to improve coverage testing. It
can be removed late in the kernel development cycle if its believed users
shouldn't have to incur any cost if they don't want delay accounting. Or
it can be retained forever if the utility of the stats is deemed common
enough to warrant keeping the feature on.

This is a complementary network driver for our ISP4XXX parts.
There is a concurrent effort underway to get the iSCSI driver (qla4xxx)
integrated upstream as well.
I have been through several iterations with the linux-netdev list and have had
much response from Stephen Hemminger.
- Built and tested using kernel 2.6.17-rc4.
- The chip supports two ethernet and two iSCSI functions.
- The functions ql_sem_lock, ql_sem_spinlock, ql_sem_unlock, and
ql_wait_for_drvr_lock are used to protect resources that are shared across
the network and iSCSI functions. This protection is mostly during chip
initialization and resets, but also include link management.
- The PHY/MII are not exported through ethtool due to the fact that the
iSCSI function will control the common link at least 50% of the time.
This driver has been through several iterations on the netdev list and we feel
this driver is ready for inclusion in the upstream kernel.
It has been built and tested on x86 and PPC64 platforms.

Send per-tgid data only once during exit of a thread group instead of once
with each member thread exit.
Currently, when a thread exits, besides its per-tid data, the per-tgid data
of its thread group is also sent out, if its thread group is non-empty.
The per-tgid data sent consists of the sum of per-tid stats for all
*remaining* threads of the thread group.
This patch modifies this sending in two ways:
- the per-tgid data is sent only when the last thread of a thread group
exits. This cuts down heavily on the overhead of sending/receiving
per-tgid data, especially when other exploiters of the taskstats
interface aren't interested in per-tgid stats
- the semantics of the per-tgid data sent are changed. Instead of being
the sum of per-tid data for remaining threads, the value now sent is the
true total accumalated statistics for all threads that are/were part of
the thread group.
The patch also addresses a minor issue where failure of one accounting
subsystem to fill in the taskstats structure was causing the send of
taskstats to not be sent at all.
The patch has been tested for stability and run cerberus for over 4 hours
on an SMP.

Create a "taskstats" interface based on generic netlink (NETLINK_GENERIC
family), for getting statistics of tasks and thread groups during their
lifetime and when they exit. The interface is intended for use by multiple
accounting packages though it is being created in the context of delay
accounting.
This patch creates the interface without populating the fields of the data
that is sent to the user in response to a command or upon the exit of a task.
Each accounting package interested in using taskstats has to provide an
additional patch to add its stats to the common structure.

When EDAC was first introduced into the kernel it had a sysfs interface,
but due to some problems it was disabled in 2.6.16 and remained disabled in
2.6.17.
With feedback, several of the control and attribute files of that interface
had some good constructive feedback. PCI Blacklist/Whitelist was a major
set which has design issues and it has been removed in this patch. Instead
of storing PCI broken parity status in EDAC, it has been moved to the
pci_dev structure itself by a previous PCI patch. A future patch will
enable that feature in EDAC by utilizing the pci_dev info.
The sysfs is now enabled in this patch, with a minimal set of control and
attribute files for examining EDAC state and for enabling/disabling the
memory and PCI operations.
The Documentation for EDAC has also been updated to reflect the new state
of EDAC operation.

It turns out that it is advantageous to leave a small portion of unmapped file
backed pages if all of a zone's pages (or almost all pages) are allocated and
so the page allocator has to go off-node.
This allows recently used file I/O buffers to stay on the node and
reduces the times that zone reclaim is invoked if file I/O occurs
when we run out of memory in a zone.
The problem is that zone reclaim runs too frequently when the page cache is
used for file I/O (read write and therefore unmapped pages!) alone and we have
almost all pages of the zone allocated. Zone reclaim may remove 32 unmapped
pages. File I/O will use these pages for the next read/write requests and the
unmapped pages increase. After the zone has filled up again zone reclaim will
remove it again after only 32 pages. This cycle is too inefficient and there
are potentially too many zone reclaim cycles.
With the 1% boundary we may still remove all unmapped pages for file I/O in
zone reclaim pass. However. it will take a large number of read and writes
to get back to 1% again where we trigger zone reclaim again.
The zone reclaim 2.6.16/17 does not show this behavior because we have a 30
second timeout.

Removal of randomness flag conflicts with SA_ -> IRQF_ global
replacement.
Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
The recent interrupt rework introduced bit value conflicts with sparc.
Instead of introducing new architecture flags mess, move the interrupt SA_
flags out of the signal namespace and replace them by interrupt related flags.
This allows to remove the obsolete SA_INTERRUPT flag and clean up the bit
field values.
This patch:
Move the interrupt related SA_ flags out of linux/signal.h and rename them to
IRQF_ . This moves the interrupt related flags out of the signal namespace
and allows to remove the architecture dependencies.
SA_INTERRUPT is not needed by userspace and glibc so it can be removed safely.
The existing SA_ constants are kept for easy transition and will be
removed after a 6 month grace period.

The zone_reclaim_interval was necessary because we were not able to determine
how many unmapped pages exist in a zone. Therefore we had to scan in
intervals to figure out if any pages were unmapped.
With the zoned counters and NR_ANON_PAGES we now know the number of pagecache
pages and the number of mapped pages in a zone. So we can simply skip the
reclaim if there is an insufficient number of unmapped pages. We use
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX as the boundary.
Drop all support for /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_interval.

The proposed NFS key type uses its own method of passing key requests to
userspace (upcalling) rather than invoking /sbin/request-key. This is
because the responsible userspace daemon should already be running and will
be contacted through rpc_pipefs.
This patch permits the NFS filesystem to pass auxiliary data to the upcall
operation (struct key_type::request_key) so that the upcaller can use a
pre-existing communications channel more easily.

The main reason for removing unused exports is size: eacho export takes

Move the i386 VDSO down into a vma and thus randomize it.
Besides the security implications, this feature also helps debuggers, which
can COW a vma-backed VDSO just like a normal DSO and can thus do
single-stepping and other debugging features.
It's good for hypervisors (Xen, VMWare) too, which typically live in the same
high-mapped address space as the VDSO, hence whenever the VDSO is used, they
get lots of guest pagefaults and have to fix such guest accesses up - which
slows things down instead of speeding things up (the primary purpose of the
VDSO).
There's a new CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO (default=y) option, which provides support
for older glibcs that still rely on a prelinked high-mapped VDSO. Newer
distributions (using glibc 2.3.3 or later) can turn this option off. Turning
it off is also recommended for security reasons: attackers cannot use the
predictable high-mapped VDSO page as syscall trampoline anymore.
There is a new vdso=[0|1] boot option as well, and a runtime
/proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled sysctl switch, that allows the VDSO to be turned
on/off.
(This version of the VDSO-randomization patch also has working ELF
coredumping, the previous patch crashed in the coredumping code.)
This code is a combined work of the exec-shield VDSO randomization
code and Gerd Hoffmann's hypervisor-centric VDSO patch. Rusty Russell
started this patch and i completed it.

This patch hooks Calgary into the build, the x86-64 IOMMU
initialization paths, and introduces the Calgary specific bits. The
implementation draws inspiration from both PPC (which has support for
the same chip but requires firmware support which we don't have on
x86-64) and gart. Calgary is different from gart in that it support a
translation table per PHB, as opposed to the single gart aperture.
Changes from previous version:
* Addition of boot-time disablement for bus-level translation/isolation
(e.g, enable userspace DMA for things like X)
* Usage of newer IOMMU abstraction functions

This allows the state of an md/array to be directly controlled via sysfs and
adds the ability to stop and array without tearing it down.
Array states/settings:
clear
No devices, no size, no level
Equivalent to STOP_ARRAY ioctl
inactive
May have some settings, but array is not active
all IO results in error
When written, doesn't tear down array, but just stops it
suspended (not supported yet)
All IO requests will block. The array can be reconfigured.
Writing this, if accepted, will block until array is quiescent
readonly
no resync can happen. no superblocks get written.
write requests fail
read-auto
like readonly, but behaves like 'clean' on a write request.
clean - no pending writes, but otherwise active.
When written to inactive array, starts without resync
If a write request arrives then
if metadata is known, mark 'dirty' and switch to 'active'.
if not known, block and switch to write-pending
If written to an active array that has pending writes, then fails.
active
fully active: IO and resync can be happening.
When written to inactive array, starts with resync
write-pending (not supported yet)
clean, but writes are blocked waiting for 'active' to be written.
active-idle
like active, but no writes have been seen for a while (100msec).

When a md array has been idle (no writes) for 20msecs it is marked as 'clean'.
This delay turns out to be too short for some real workloads. So increase it
to 200msec (the time to update the metadata should be a tiny fraction of that)
and make it sysfs-configurable.

This introduces the clocksource management infrastructure. A clocksource is a

code defines the clocksource structure, and provides management code for
registering, selecting, accessing and scaling clocksources.
Additionally, this includes the trivial jiffies clocksource, a lowest common
denominator clocksource, provided mainly for use as an example.
