32974ad490 [IA64] Remove COMPAT_IA32 support
This has been broken since May 2008 when Al Viro killed altroot support.
Since nobody has complained, it would appear that there are no users of
this code (A plausible theory since the main OSVs that support ia64 prefer
to use the IA32-EL software emulation).

a2e2725541 net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscall
Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
net stack entry/exit operations.

Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.

This takes into account comments made by:

. Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
  sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.

. Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
  works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.

  If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
  will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
  one) it has received so far.

. Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
  datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
  the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
  in the next call.

This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
every underlying recvmsg call.

a14a07b801 ftrace, ia64: IA64 dynamic ftrace support
IA64 dynamic ftrace support.
The original _mcount stub for each function is like:
	alloc r40=ar.pfs,12,8,0
	mov r43=r0;;
	mov r42=b0
	mov r41=r1
	nop.i 0x0
	br.call.sptk.many b0 = _mcount;;

The patch convert it to below for nop:
	[MII] nop.m 0x0
	mov r3=ip
	nop.i 0x0
	[MLX] nop.m 0x0
	nop.x 0x0;;
This isn't completely nop, as there is one instuction 'mov r3=ip', but
it should be light and harmless for code follow it.

And below is for call
	[MII] nop.m 0x0
	mov r3=ip
	nop.i 0x0
	[MLX] nop.m 0x0
	brl.many .;;
In this way, only one instruction is changed to convert code between nop
and call. This should meet dyn-ftrace's requirement.
But this requires CPU support brl instruction, so dyn-ftrace isn't
supported for old Itanium system. Assume there are quite few such old
system running.

b704882e70 [IA64] Rationalize kernel mode alignment checking
Itanium processors can handle some misaligned data accesses. They
also provide a mode where all such accesses are forced to trap. The
kernel was schizophrenic about use of this mode:

* Base kernel code ran in permissive mode where the only traps
  generated were from those cases that the h/w could not handle.
* Interrupt, syscall and trap code ran in strict mode where all
  unaligned accesses caused traps to the 0x5a00 unaligned reference
  vector.

Use strict alignment checking throughout the kernel, but make
sure that we continue to let user mode use more relaxed mode
as the default.

3633c73080 [IA64] fix interrupt masking for pending works on kernel leave
[Bug-fix for "[BUG?][2.6.25-mm1] sleeping during IRQ disabled"]

This patch does:
 - enable interrupts before calling schedule() as same as others, ex. x86
 - enable interrupts during ia64_do_signal() and ia64_sync_krbs()
 - do_notify_resume_user() is still called with interrupts disabled, since
   we can take short path of fsys_mode if-statement quickly.
 - pfm_handle_work() is also called with interrupts disabled, since
   it can deal interrupt mask within itself.
 - fix/add some comments/notes

38477ad751 [IA64] disable interrupts on exit of ia64_trace_syscall
While testing with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y, I found that
I occasionally get very huge system time in some threads.

So I dug the issue and finally noticed that it was caused
because of an interrupt which interrupt in the following window:

>
> ENTRY(ia64_leave_syscall)

> (pUStk) cmp.eq.unc p6,p0=r0,r0          // p6 <- pUStk
> .work_processed_syscall:
>         adds r2=PT(LOADRS)+16,r12
> (pUStk) mov.m r22=ar.itc                        // fetch time at leave
>         adds r18=TI_FLAGS+IA64_TASK_SIZE,r13
>         ;;
> <<< window: from here >>>
> (p6)    ld4 r31=[r18]  // load current_thread_info()->flags
>         ld8 r19=[r2],PT(B6)-PT(LOADRS)
>         adds r3=PT(AR_BSPSTORE)+16,r12
>         ;;
>         mov r16=ar.bsp

>         ;;
>         ld8 r9=[r2],PT(CR_IPSR)-PT(R9)
>         ld8 r11=[r3],PT(CR_IIP)-PT(R11)
> (pNonSys) break 0 // bug check: we shouldn't be here if pNonSys is TRUE!
>         ;;

If pUStk is true, it means we are going to return user mode, hence we fetch
ar.itc to get time at leave from system.
It seems that it is not possible to interrupt the window if pUStk is true,
because interrupts are disabled early.  And also disabling interrupt makes
sense because it is safe for referring current_thread_info()->flags.

However interrupting the window while pUStk is true was possible.
The route was:
ia64_trace_syscall
-> .work_pending_syscall_end
-> .work_processed_syscall
Only in case entering the window from this route, interrupts are enabled
during in the window even if pUStk is true.  I suppose interrupts must be
disabled here anyway if pUStk is true.
I'm not sure but afraid that what kind of bad effect were there, other
than crazy system time which I found.

FYI, there was a commit 6f6d75825d that
points out a bug at same point(exit of ia64_trace_syscall) in 2006.
It can be said that there was an another bug.

b64f34cdfe [IA64] VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING (accurate cpu time accounting)
This patch implements VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING for ia64,
which enable us to use more accurate cpu time accounting.

The VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is an item of kernel config, which s390
and powerpc arch have.  By turning this config on, these archs
change the mechanism of cpu time accounting from tick-sampling
based one to state-transition based one.

The state-transition based accounting is done by checking time
(cycle counter in processor) at every state-transition point,
such as entrance/exit of kernel, interrupt, softirq etc.
The difference between point to point is the actual time consumed
during in the state. There is no doubt about that this value is
more accurate than that of tick-sampling based accounting.

4d672e7ac7 timerfd: new timerfd API
This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:

int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
		    const struct itimerspec *utmr,
		    struct itimerspec *otmr);
int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);

The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd.  The "clockid"
parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.

The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
NULL).

The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
is set in the "flags" parameter.  Otherwise it's a relative time.

The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
{0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.

Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
supported (with the same interface).  Here's a simple test program I used to
exercise the new timerfd APIs:

a0776ec8e9 [IA64] remove per-cpu ia64_phys_stacked_size_p8
It's not efficient to use a per-cpu variable just to store
how many physical stack register a cpu has.  Ever since the
incarnation of ia64 up till upcoming Montecito processor, that
variable has "glued" to 96. Having a variable in memory means
that the kernel is burning an extra cacheline access on every
syscall and kernel exit path.  Such "static" value is better
served with the instruction patching utility exists today.
Convert ia64_phys_stacked_size_p8 into dynamic insn patching.

This also has a pleasant side effect of eliminating access to
per-cpu area while psr.ic=0 in the kernel exit path. (fixable
for per-cpu DTC work, but why bother?)

There are some concerns with the default value that the instruc-
tion encoded in the kernel image.  It shouldn't be concerned.
The reasons are:

(1) cpu_init() is called at CPU initialization.  In there, we
    find out physical stack register size from PAL and patch
    two instructions in kernel exit code.  The code in question
    can not be executed before the patching is done.

(2) current implementation stores zero in ia64_phys_stacked_size_p8,
    and that's what the current kernel exit path loads the value with.
    With the new code, it is equivalent that we store reg size 96
    in ia64_phys_stacked_size_p8, thus creating a better safety net.
    Given (1) above can never fail, having (2) is just a bonus.

All in all, this patch allow one less memory reference in the kernel
exit path, thus reducing syscall and interrupt return latency; and
avoid polluting potential useful data in the CPU cache.

742755a1d8 [PATCH] page migration: sys_move_pages(): support moving of individual pages
move_pages() is used to move individual pages of a process. The function can
be used to determine the location of pages and to move them onto the desired
node. move_pages() returns status information for each page.

long move_pages(pid, number_of_pages_to_move,
		addresses_of_pages[],
		nodes[] or NULL,
		status[],
		flags);

The addresses of pages is an array of void * pointing to the
pages to be moved.

The nodes array contains the node numbers that the pages should be moved
to. If a NULL is passed instead of an array then no pages are moved but
the status array is updated. The status request may be used to determine
the page state before issuing another move_pages() to move pages.

The status array will contain the state of all individual page migration
attempts when the function terminates. The status array is only valid if
move_pages() completed successfullly.

Possible page states in status[]:

0..MAX_NUMNODES	The page is now on the indicated node.

-ENOENT		Page is not present

-EACCES		Page is mapped by multiple processes and can only
		be moved if MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified.

-EPERM		The page has been mlocked by a process/driver and
		cannot be moved.

-EBUSY		Page is busy and cannot be moved. Try again later.

-EFAULT		Invalid address (no VMA or zero page).

-ENOMEM		Unable to allocate memory on target node.

-EIO		Unable to write back page. The page must be written
		back in order to move it since the page is dirty and the
		filesystem does not provide a migration function that
		would allow the moving of dirty pages.

-EINVAL		A dirty page cannot be moved. The filesystem does not provide
		a migration function and has no ability to write back pages.

The flags parameter indicates what types of pages to move:

MPOL_MF_MOVE	Move pages that are only mapped by the process.

MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL Also move pages that are mapped by multiple processes.
		Requires sufficient capabilities.

Possible return codes from move_pages()

-ENOENT		No pages found that would require moving. All pages
		are either already on the target node, not present, had an
		invalid address or could not be moved because they were
		mapped by multiple processes.

-EINVAL		Flags other than MPOL_MF_MOVE(_ALL) specified or an attempt
		to migrate pages in a kernel thread.

-EPERM		MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL specified without sufficient priviledges.
		or an attempt to move a process belonging to another user.

-EACCES		One of the target nodes is not allowed by the current cpuset.

-ENODEV		One of the target nodes is not online.

-ESRCH		Process does not exist.

-E2BIG		Too many pages to move.

-ENOMEM		Not enough memory to allocate control array.

-EFAULT		Parameters could not be accessed.

A test program for move_pages() may be found with the patches
on ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/christoph/pmig/patches-2.6.17-rc4-mm3

From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>

  Detailed results for sys_move_pages()

  Pass a pointer to an integer to get_new_page() that may be used to
  indicate where the completion status of a migration operation should be
  placed.  This allows sys_move_pags() to report back exactly what happened to
  each page.

  Wish there would be a better way to do this. Looks a bit hacky.

912d35f867 [PATCH] Add support for the sys_vmsplice syscall
sys_splice() moves data to/from pipes with a file input/output. sys_vmsplice()
moves data to a pipe, with the input being a user address range instead.

This uses an approach suggested by Linus, where we can hold partial ranges
inside the pages[] map. Hopefully this will be useful for network
receive support as well.

70524490ee [PATCH] splice: add support for sys_tee()
Basically an in-kernel implementation of tee, which uses splice and the
pipe buffers as an intelligent way to pass data around by reference.

Where the user space tee consumes the input and produces a stdout and
file output, this syscall merely duplicates the data inside a pipe to
another pipe. No data is copied, the output just grabs a reference to the
input pipe data.

5274f052e7 [PATCH] Introduce sys_splice() system call
This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a
transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only).

From the splice.c comments:

   "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands.

   This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as
   an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel
   buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other.

   The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation
   that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer.

   Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by
   Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation
   bugs.

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.

383f2835eb [PATCH] Prefetch kernel stacks to speed up context switch
For architecture like ia64, the switch stack structure is fairly large
(currently 528 bytes).  For context switch intensive application, we found
that significant amount of cache misses occurs in switch_to() function.
The following patch adds a hook in the schedule() function to prefetch
switch stack structure as soon as 'next' task is determined.  This allows
maximum overlap in prefetch cache lines for that structure.
