Anton Blanchard 7d12e522ba [PATCH] ppc64: remove hidden -fno-omit-frame-pointer for schedule.c
While looking at code generated by gcc4.0 I noticed some functions still
had frame pointers, even after we stopped ppc64 from defining
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.  It turns out kernel/Makefile hardwires
-fno-omit-frame-pointer on when compiling schedule.c.

Create CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER and define it on architectures
that dont require frame pointers in sched.c code.

stephane eranian a5a70b75d9 [IA64] another perfmon fix (take2)
- pfm_context_load(): change return value from EINVAL to EBUSY
  when context is already loaded.

- pfm_check_task_state(): pass test if context state is MASKED.
  It is safe to give access on PFM_CTX_MASKED because the PMU
  state (PMD) is stable and saved in software state.
  This helps multiplexing programs such as the example given
  in libpfm-3.1.

Stephane Eranian 8df5a500a3 [IA64] perfmon & PAL_HALT again
The pmu_active test is based on the values of PSR.up. THIS IS THE PROBLEM as
it does not take into account the lazy restore logic which is as follow (simplified):

context switch out:
	save PMDs
	clear psr.up
	release ownership

context switch in:
	if (ctx->last_cpu == smp_processor_id() && ctx->cpu_activation == cpu_activation) {
		set psr.up
		return
	}
	restore PMD
	restore PMC
	ctx->last_cpu   = smp_processor_id();
	ctx->activation = ++cpu_activation;
	set psr.up

The key here is that on context switch out, we clear psr.up and on context switch in
we check if nobody else used the PMU on that processor since last time we came. In
that case, we assume the PMD/PMC are ours and we simply reactivate.

The Caliper problem is that between the moment we context switch out and the moment we
come back, nobody effectively used the PMU BUT the processor went idle. Normally this
would have no incidence but PAL_HALT does alter the PMU registers.  In default_idle(),
the test on psr.up is not strong enough to cover this case and we go into PAL which
trashed the PMU resgisters. When we come back we falsely assume that this is our state
yet it is corrupted. Very nasty indeed.

To avoid the problem it is necessary to forbid going to PAL_HALT as soon as perfmon
installs some valid state in the PMU registers. This happens with an application
attaches a context to a thread or CPU. It is not enough to check the psr/dcr bits.
Hence I propose the attached patch. It adds a callback in process.c to modify the
condition to enter PAL on idle. Basically, now it is conditional to pal_halt=1 AND
perfmon saying it is okay.

2fd6f58ba6 [AUDIT] Don't allow ptrace to fool auditing, log arch of audited syscalls.
We were calling ptrace_notify() after auditing the syscall and arguments,
but the debugger could have _changed_ them before the syscall was actually
invoked. Reorder the calls to fix that.

While we're touching ever call to audit_syscall_entry(), we also make it
take an extra argument: the architecture of the syscall which was made,
because some architectures allow more than one type of syscall.

Also add an explicit success/failure flag to audit_syscall_exit(), for
the benefit of architectures which return that in a condition register
rather than only returning a single register.

Change type of syscall return value to 'long' not 'int'.

[IA64] fix ia64 Kconfig to allow CONFIG_PM on sn2

This probably should have been fixed when I fixed up the generic build for
discontig+numa machines, but oh well.

CONFIG_PM is allowable for generic builds but not for sn2 builds, which
doesn't make much sense, and in fact breaks the build if recent ACPI bits are
added to the tree.  It looks like the only arch that needs to prevent
CONFIG_PM stuff is the ski simulator (though those options could probably use
some cleanup as well), so remove the big conditional and replace it with a
simple test for IA64_HP_SIM instead.

  [IA64] Improve ia64_leave_syscall() for McKinley-type cores.

  Optimize ia64_leave_syscall() a bit better for McKinley-type cores.
  The patch looks big, but that's mostly due to renaming r16/r17 to r2/r3.
  Good for a 13 cycle improvement.

The problem is that the size of the physical stacked registers was
loaded into the wrong register (r3 instead of r17).  Since r17 by
coincidence always had the value 1, this had the effect of turning
rse_clear_invalid into a no-op.  That poses the risk of leaking kernel
state back to user-land and is hence not acceptable.

The fix below is simple, but unfortunately it costs us about 28 cycles
in syscall overhead. ;-(

Unfortunately, there isn't much we can do about that since those
registers have to be cleared one way or another.

locking into sba_search_bitmap() to prevent this.  Finally, there's a

Robin Holt fde740e4dd [IA64] Percpu quicklist for combined allocator for pgd/pmd/pte.
This patch introduces using the quicklists for pgd, pmd, and pte levels
by combining the alloc and free functions into a common set of routines.
This greatly simplifies the reading of this header file.

This patch is simple but necessary for large numa configurations.
It simply ensures that only pages from the local node are added to a
cpus quicklist.  This prevents the trapping of pages on a remote nodes
quicklist by starting a process, touching a large number of pages to
fill pmd and pte entries, migrating to another node, and then unmapping
or exiting.  With those conditions, the pages get trapped and if the
machine has more than 100 nodes of the same size, the calculation of
the pgtable high water mark will be larger than any single node so page
table cache flushing will never occur.

I ran lmbench lat_proc fork and lat_proc exec on a zx1 with and without
this patch and did not notice any change.

On an sn2 machine, there was a slight improvement which is possibly
due to pages from other nodes trapped on the test node before starting
the run.  I did not investigate further.

This patch shrinks the quicklist based upon free memory on the node
instead of the high/low water marks.  I have written it to enable
preemption periodically and recalculate the amount to shrink every time
we have freed enough pages that the quicklist size should have grown.
I rescan the nodes zones each pass because other processess may be
draining node memory at the same time as we are adding.

Aaron J Young c1298c5c7e [IA64-SGI] Altix: enable poweroff
This patch adds the necessary "hook" to allow SGI/SN
machines to perform a system power off upon a 
'init 0', 'halt -p', 'poweroff' or 'shutdown -h'.

The "hook" is to set the pm_power_off callback
to ia64_sn_power_down(). pm_power_off is checked
in machine_power_off()/do_poweroff() and, if set, is executed. 
ia64_sn_power_down() is a function already present (but not 
used currently) in the sn kernel.
ia64_sn_power_down() makes a SAL call to execute the
power off.

Bruce Losure e1e19747ec [IA64-SGI] Bus driver for the CX port of SGI's TIO chip.
This patch is to provide CX port infrastructure for SGI TIO-based
h/w.   Also a 'core services' driver for SGI FPGA-based h/w.
