c1902aae32 [IA64] - Avoid slow TLB purges on SGI Altix systems
flush_tlb_all() can be a scaling issue on large SGI Altix systems
since it uses the global call_lock and always executes on all cpus.
When a process enters flush_tlb_range() to purge TLBs for another
process, it is possible to avoid flush_tlb_all() and instead allow
sn2_global_tlb_purge() to purge TLBs only where necessary.

This patch modifies flush_tlb_range() so that this case can be handled
by platform TLB purge functions and updates ia64_global_tlb_purge()
accordingly.  sn2_global_tlb_purge() now calculates the region register
value from the mm argument introduced with this patch.

281dd25cdc [PATCH] swiotlb: make sure initial DMA allocations really are in DMA memory
This introduces a limit parameter to the core bootmem allocator; The new
parameter indicates that physical memory allocated by the bootmem
allocator should be within the requested limit.

We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit,
alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit
is the only api used for swiotlb.

The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been
changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator.  But that
would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use
alloc_bootmem_low_pages().  We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a
cleanup.

With this, swiotlb gets memory within 4G for both x86_64 and ia64
arches.

76e677e25d [IA64] Avoid kernel hang during CMC interrupt storm
I've noticed a kernel hang during a storm of CMC interrupts, which was
tracked down to the continual execution of the interrupt handler.

There's code in the CMC handler that's supposed to disable CMC
interrupts and switch to polling mode when it sees a bunch of CMCs.
Because disabling CMCs across all CPUs isn't safe in interrupt context,
the disable is done with a schedule_work().  But with continual CMC
interrupts, the schedule_work() never gets executed.

The following patch immediately disables CMC interrupts for the current
CPU.  This then allows (at least) one CPU to ignore CMC interrupts,
execute the schedule_work() code, and disable CMC interrupts on the rest
of the CPUs.

463eb29740 [IA64] respect ACPI producer/consumer flag for PCI root bridges
Address space resources for ACPI devices have a producer/consumer
flag.  All devices "consume" the indicated address space.  If the
resource is marked as a "producer", the range is also passed on
to child devices.

We currently ignore this flag when setting up MMIO and I/O port
windows for PCI root bridges, so we could mistakenly interpret
a "consumed-only" range, like CSR space for the device itself,
as a window that is routed to children.

24ee0a6d7b [IA64] Cleanup use of various #defines related to nodes
Some of the SN code & #defines related to compact nodes & IO discovery
have gotten stale over the years. This patch attempts to clean them up.
Some of the various SN MAX_xxx #defines were also unclear & misused.

The primary changes are:

	- use MAX_NUMNODES. This is the generic linux #define for the number
	  of nodes that are known to the generic kernel. Arrays & loops
	  for constructs that are 1:1 with linux-defined nodes should
	  use the linux #define - not an SN equivalent.

	- use MAX_COMPACT_NODES for MAX_NUMNODES + NUM_TIOS. This is the
	  number of nodes in the SSI system. Compact nodes are a hack to
	  get around the IA64 architectural limit of 256 nodes. Large SGI
	  systems have more than 256 nodes. When we upgrade to ACPI3.0,
	  I _hope_ that all nodes will be real nodes that are known to
	  the generic kernel. That will allow us to delete the notion
	  of "compact nodes".

	- add MAX_NUMALINK_NODES for the total number of nodes that
	  are in the numalink domain - all partitions.

	- simplified (understandable) scan_for_ionodes()

	- small amount of cleanup related to cnodes

f2b518d716 [IA64] Update default configs
PNP and PNPACPI turned on

    i8042 recently changed from ACPI to PNP detection.  Without PNP, it
    probes legacy I/O ports for the keyboard controller, which causes an
    MCA on HP boxes.

    Also, I'm about to remove 8250_acpi.c, so we'll need PNP to detect
    non-PCI serial ports.  Until 8250_acpi.c is removed, some systems
    will see serial ports reported twice (once from 8250_acpi.c and again
    from 8250_pnp.c).  This is harmless.

    PNPACPI is still marked EXPERIMENTAL, but I'm not aware of any
    outstanding issues on ia64.

IDE_GENERIC turned off (except for SGI simulator, all ia64 IDE is PCI)

    ide-generic probes compiled-in legacy I/O ports for IDE devices, which
    again causes an MCA.  It would be nicer to just get rid of all the
    legacy junk from include/asm-ia64/ide.h, but that is a bit riskier
    because it could break ide-cs and the HDIO_REGISTER_HWIF ioctl
    (http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0508.2/0049.html).

Here's the essence of the patch:

    -# CONFIG_PNP is not set
    +CONFIG_PNP=y
    +CONFIG_PNPACPI=y

    -CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=y
    +# CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC is not set

0b9afede3d [IA64] more robust zx1/sx1000 machvec support
Machine vector selection has always been a bit of a hack given how
early in system boot it needs to be done.  Services like ACPI namespace
are not available and there are non-trivial problems to moving them to
early boot.  However, there's no reason we can't change to a different
machvec later in boot when the services we need are available.  By
adding a entry point for later initialization of the swiotlb, we can add
an error path for the hpzx1 machevec initialization and fall back to the
DIG machine vector if IOMMU hardware isn't found in the system.  Since
ia64 uses 4GB for zone DMA (no ISA support), it's trivial to allocate a
contiguous range from the slab for bounce buffer usage.

2fd4ef85e0 [PATCH] error path in setup_arg_pages() misses vm_unacct_memory()
Pavel Emelianov and Kirill Korotaev observe that fs and arch users of
security_vm_enough_memory tend to forget to vm_unacct_memory when a
failure occurs further down (typically in setup_arg_pages variants).

These are all users of insert_vm_struct, and that reservation will only
be unaccounted on exit if the vma is marked VM_ACCOUNT: which in some
cases it is (hidden inside VM_STACK_FLAGS) and in some cases it isn't.

So x86_64 32-bit and ppc64 vDSO ELFs have been leaking memory into
Committed_AS each time they're run.  But don't add VM_ACCOUNT to them,
it's inappropriate to reserve against the very unlikely case that gdb
be used to COW a vDSO page - we ought to do something about that in
do_wp_page, but there are yet other inconsistencies to be resolved.

The safe and economical way to fix this is to let insert_vm_struct do
the security_vm_enough_memory check when it finds VM_ACCOUNT is set.

And the MIPS irix_brk has been calling security_vm_enough_memory before
calling do_brk which repeats it, doubly accounting and so also leaking.
Remove that, and all the fs and arch calls to security_vm_enough_memory:
give it a less misleading name later on.

289d773ee8 [IA64] MCA/INIT: avoid reading INIT record during INIT event
Reading the INIT record from SAL during the INIT event has proved to be
unreliable, and a source of hangs during INIT processing.  The new
MCA/INIT handlers remove the need to get the INIT record from SAL.
Change salinfo.c so mca.c can just flag that a new record is available,
without having to read the record during INIT processing.  This patch
can be applied without the new MCA/INIT handlers.

Also clean up some usage of NR_CPUS which should have been using
cpu_online().

5bb7826900 kbuild: rename prepare to archprepare to fix dependency chain
When introducing the generic asm-offsets.h support the dependency
chain for the prepare targets was changed. All build scripts expecting
include/asm/asm-offsets.h to be made when using the prepare target would broke.
With the limited number of prepare targets left in arch Makefiles
the trivial solution was to introduce a new arch specific target: archprepare

The dependency chain looks like this now:

prepare
  |
  +--> prepare0
         |
         +--> archprepare
                |
		+--> scripts_basic
                +--> prepare1
                       |
                       +---> prepare2
                               |
                               +--> prepare3

So prepare 3 is processed before prepare2 etc.
This guaantees that the asm symlink, version.h, scripts_basic
are all updated before archprepare is processed.

prepare0 which build the asm-offsets.h file will need the
actions performed by archprepare.

The head target is now named prepare, because users scripts will most
likely use that target, but prepare-all has been kept for compatibility.

fb1c8f93d8 [PATCH] spinlock consolidation
This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code.  It does the following
things:

 - consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code

 - simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files

 - encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
   features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.

 - cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.

Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
located in lib/spinlock_debug.c.  (previously we had one SMP debugging
variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)

Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
write-owners.  There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
spin/rwlock lockups.

The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
lives in the generic headers:

 include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h       |   16
 include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h     |   16

I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:

   SMP                         |  UP
   ----------------------------|-----------------------------------
   asm/spinlock_types_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_types_up.h
   linux/spinlock_types.h      |  linux/spinlock_types.h
   asm/spinlock_smp.h          |  linux/spinlock_up.h
   linux/spinlock_api_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_api_up.h
   linux/spinlock.h            |  linux/spinlock.h

/*
 * here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files:
 *
 * on SMP builds:
 *
 *  asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the
 *                        initializers
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_types.h:
 *                        defines the generic type and initializers
 *
 *  asm/spinlock.h:       contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel
 *                        implementations, mostly inline assembly code
 *
 *   (also included on UP-debug builds:)
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:
 *                        contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs.
 *
 *  linux/spinlock.h:     builds the final spin_*() APIs.
 *
 * on UP builds:
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_type_up.h:
 *                        contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type.
 *                        (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds)
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_types.h:
 *                        defines the generic type and initializers
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_up.h:
 *                        contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP
 *                        builds. (which are NOPs on non-debug, non-preempt
 *                        builds)
 *
 *   (included on UP-non-debug builds:)
 *
 *  linux/spinlock_api_up.h:
 *                        builds the _spin_*() APIs.
 *
 *  linux/spinlock.h:     builds the final spin_*() APIs.

All SMP and UP architectures are converted by this patch.

arm, i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390/s390x, x64 was build-tested via
crosscompilers.  m32r, mips, sh, sparc, have not been tested yet, but should
be mostly fine.

From: Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org>

  Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU).
  Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested).  I did not try to build
  non-SMP kernels.  That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary.

  I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t.  Doing so avoids
  some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files.  Those particular locks
  are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code.  I do NOT
  expect any new issues to arise with them.

 If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will
  need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops
  that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW
  (load and clear word).

This patch addresses a potential race condition for a case where Kprobe has

The way this is addressed here is when the CPU that has taken a break hit
does not find its corresponding kprobe, then we check to see if the
original instruction got replaced with other than break.  If it got
replaced with other than break instruction, then we continue to execute
from the replaced instruction, else if we find that it is still a break,
then we let the kernel handle this, as this might be the break instruction
inserted by other than kprobe(may be kernel debugger).

f68f447e83 [PATCH] ia64 cpuset + build_sched_domains() mangles structures
I've already sent this to the maintainers, and this is now being sent to a
larger community audience.  I have fixed a problem with the ia64 version of
build_sched_domains(), but a similar fix still needs to be made to the
generic build_sched_domains() in kernel/sched.c.

The "dynamic sched domains" functionality has recently been merged into
2.6.13-rcN that sees the dynamic declaration of a cpu-exclusive (a.k.a.
"isolated") cpuset and rebuilds the CPU Scheduler sched domains and sched
groups to separate away the CPUs in this cpu-exclusive cpuset from the
remainder of the non-isolated CPUs.  This allows the non-isolated CPUs to
completely ignore the isolated CPUs when doing load-balancing.

Unfortunately, build_sched_domains() expects that a sched domain will
include all the CPUs of each node in the domain, i.e., that no node will
belong in both an isolated cpuset and a non-isolated cpuset.  Declaring a
cpuset that violates this presumption will produce flawed data structures
and will oops the kernel.

To trigger the problem (on a NUMA system with >1 CPUs per node):
   cd /dev/cpuset
   mkdir newcpuset
   cd newcpuset
   echo 0 >cpus
   echo 0 >mems
   echo 1 >cpu_exclusive

I have fixed this shortcoming for ia64 NUMA (with multiple CPUs per node).
A similar shortcoming exists in the generic build_sched_domains() (in
kernel/sched.c) for NUMA, and that needs to be fixed also.  The fix
involves dynamically allocating sched_group_nodes[] and
sched_group_allnodes[] for each invocation of build_sched_domains(), rather
than using global arrays for these structures.  Care must be taken to
remember kmalloc() addresses so that arch_destroy_sched_domains() can
properly kfree() the new dynamic structures.

54d5d42404 [PATCH] x86/x86_64: deferred handling of writes to /proc/irqxx/smp_affinity
When handling writes to /proc/irq, current code is re-programming rte
entries directly. This is not recommended and could potentially cause
chipset's to lockup, or cause missing interrupts.

CONFIG_IRQ_BALANCE does this correctly, where it re-programs only when the
interrupt is pending. The same needs to be done for /proc/irq handling as well.
Otherwise user space irq balancers are really not doing the right thing.

- Changed pending_irq_balance_cpumask to pending_irq_migrate_cpumask for
  lack of a generic name.
- added move_irq out of IRQ_BALANCE, and added this same to X86_64
- Added new proc handler for write, so we can do deferred write at irq
  handling time.
- Display of /proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity used to display CPU_MASKALL, instead
  it now shows only active cpu masks, or exactly what was set.
- Provided a common move_irq implementation, instead of duplicating
  when using generic irq framework.

Tested on i386/x86_64 and ia64 with CONFIG_PCI_MSI turned on and off.
Tested UP builds as well.

MSI testing: tbd: I have cards, need to look for a x-over cable, although I
did test an earlier version of this patch.  Will test in a couple days.

a1cddb8892 [IA64-SGI] Add new vendor-specific SAL calls for:
- notifying the PROM of specific features that are supported by the OS.
  This is used to enable PROM feature if and only if the corresponding
  feature is implemented in the OS

- fetch feature sets that are supported by the current PROM. This allows
  the OS to selectively enable features when the PROM support is available.

6cf07a8cc8 [IA64] Fix nasty VMLPT problem...
I've solved the problem I was having with the simulator and not
booting Debian.

The problem is that the number of bits for the virtual linear array
short-format VHPT (Virtually mapped linear page table, VMLPT for
short) is being tested incorrectly. 

There are two problems:
      1. The PAL call that should tell the kernel the size of the
      virtual address space isn't implemented for the simulator, so
      the kernel uses the default 50.  This is addressed separately
      in dc90e95f31

      2.  In arch/ia64/mm/init.c there's code to calcualte the size
      of the VMLPT based on the number of implemented virtual address
      bits and the page size.  It checks to see if the VMLPT base
      address overlaps the top of the mapped region, but this check
      doesn't allow for the address space hole, and in fact will
      never trigger.

Here's an alternative test and panic, that I think is more accurate.

69be8f1896 [PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes.
It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it.  I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.

The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:

1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.

2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).

The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:

1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).

2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.

The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.

Unix boxes that were tested:  DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.

* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux.  So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.

4db8699bcf [IA64] Add ACPI based P-state support
Patch to support P-state transitions on ia64. This driver is based on ACPI,
and uses the ACPI processor driver interface to find out the P-state support
information for the processor. This driver plugs into generic cpufreq
infrastructure.

Once this driver is loaded successfully, ondemand/userspace governor can be
used to change the CPU frequency dynamically based on load or on request from
userspace process.

Currently, region numbers are defined in several files, with several

We also have address definitions that should depend on the

The following patch reorganises all the definitions so that they have 
the same form (RGN_XXX), are in one place, and that addresses that 
depend on RGN_XXX are derived from them. 

(This is a necessary but not sufficient patch to allow UML-like

the bootloader loader dies with 

loading /home/ianw/kerntest/kerncomp//build/sim_defconfig/vmlinux...

After some investigation I believe this is do with differences between
the alignment of variables on the stack between gcc 3 and 4 and the
ski simulator.  If you trace through with the simulator you can see
that the disk_stat structure value returned from the SSC_WAIT_COMPLETION
call seems to be only half loaded.  I guess it doesn't like the alignment

to remain reserved even though it should not. This can happen
when the commands succeeds in reserving the session but fails
when it actually tries to attach to the load_pid. In that case,
the command has failed but will return 0. More importantly,
the session will remain reserved. This patch fixes the problem.

fb573856b2 [IA64] fix nohalt boot option
this changeset broke the "nohalt" kernel boot option.
  8df5a500a3

default_idle() is looking at new variable can_do_pal_halt.  However,
that variable did not get cleared upon "nohalt" boot option.  Result
is that "nohalt" option is ignored until perfmon is exercised.

1f3a6a1577 [ACPI] acpi_register_gsi() can return error
Current acpi_register_gsi() function has no way to indicate errors to its
callers even though acpi_register_gsi() can fail to register gsi because of
some reasons (out of memory, lack of interrupt vectors, incorrect BIOS, and so
on).  As a result, caller of acpi_register_gsi() cannot handle the case that
acpi_register_gsi() fails.  I think failure of acpi_register_gsi() should be
handled properly.

This series of patches changes acpi_register_gsi() to return negative value on
error, and also changes callers of acpi_register_gsi() to handle failure of
acpi_register_gsi().

This patch changes the type of return value of acpi_register_gsi() from
"unsigned int" to "int" to indicate an error.  If acpi_register_gsi() fails to
register gsi, it returns negative value.

6cb54819d7 [PATCH] remove sys_set_zone_reclaim()
This removes sys_set_zone_reclaim() for now.  While i'm sure Martin is
trying to solve a real problem, we must not hard-code an incomplete and
insufficient approach into a syscall, because syscalls are pretty much
for eternity.  I am quite strongly convinced that this syscall must not
hit v2.6.13 in its current form.

Firstly, the syscall lacks basic syscall design: e.g. it allows the
global setting of VM policy for unprivileged users. (!) [ Imagine an
Oracle installation and a SAP installation on the same NUMA box fighting
over the 'optimal' setting for this flag. What will they do? Will they
try to set the flag to their own preferred value every second or so? ]

Secondly, it was added based on a single datapoint from Martin:

 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=111763597218177&w=2

where Martin characterizes the numbers the following way:

 ' Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so these numbers aren't
   terribly useful except to see that with reclaim the benchmark still
   finishes in a reasonable amount of time. '

in other words: the fundamental problem has likely not been solved, only
a tendential move into the right direction has been observed, and a
handful of numbers were picked out of a set of hugely variable results,
without showing the variability data. How much variance is there
run-to-run?

I'd really suggest to first walk the walk and see what's needed to get
stable & predictable kernel compilation numbers on that NUMA box, before
adding random syscalls to tune a particular aspect of the VM ... which
approach might not even matter once the whole picture has been analyzed
and understood!

The third, most important point is that the syscall exposes VM tuning
internals in a completely unstructured way. What sense does it make to
have a _GLOBAL_ per-node setting for 'should we go to another node for
reclaim'? If then it might make sense to do this per-app, via numalib or
so.

The change is minimalistic in that it doesnt remove the syscall and the
underlying infrastructure changes, only the user-visible changes.  We
could perhaps add a CAP_SYS_ADMIN-only sysctl for this hack, a'ka
/proc/sys/vm/swappiness, but even that looks quite counterproductive
when the generic approach is that we are trying to reduce the number of
external factors in the VM balance picture.

b833961bd3 [IA64] unwind.c uses wrong unat from switch_stack
unwind.c can read the wrong unat bits from switch_stack.
sw->caller_unat is the value of ar.unat when the task was blocked.
sw->ar_unat is the value of ar.unat after doing st8.spill for r4-7.
IOW, ar_unat is caller_unat with 4 bits changed.

unw_access_gr() uses sw->ar_unat for r4-7 (correct), but it also uses
sw->ar_unat for other scratch registers (incorrect).  sw->ar_unat
should only be used for r4-7, everything else should use
sw->caller_unat, unless modified by unwind info.  Using sw->ar_unat
risks picking up the 4 bits that were overwritten when r4-7 were saved.

Also this line is wrong
	unw.sw_off[unw.preg_index[UNW_REG_PFS]] = SW(AR_UNAT);
and should be
	unw.sw_off[unw.preg_index[UNW_REG_PFS]] = SW(AR_PFS);

machine_restart, machine_halt and machine_power_off are machine
specific hooks deep into the reboot logic, that modules
have no business messing with.  Usually code should be calling
kernel_restart, kernel_halt, kernel_power_off, or
emergency_restart. So don't export machine_restart,
machine_halt, and machine_power_off so we can catch buggy users.
