This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
functionality.
While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
the new 'irq chip' abstraction.
The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
(level/edge/etc.) type of details.
This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.
As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
(master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.
The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
and more consolidation between architectures.
We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.
This patch:
rename desc->handler to desc->chip.
Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch. But having
both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
truly is.
I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
frequently.
So lets get over with this quickly. The conversion was done automatically
via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.
This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

With Goto-san's patch, we can add new pgdat/node at runtime. I'm now
considering node-hot-add with cpu + memory on ACPI.
I found acpi container, which describes node, could evaluate cpu before
memory. This means cpu-hot-add occurs before memory hot add.
In most part, cpu-hot-add doesn't depend on node hot add. But register_cpu(),
which creates symbolic link from node to cpu, requires that node should be
onlined before register_cpu(). When a node is onlined, its pgdat should be
there.
This patch-set holds off creating symbolic link from node to cpu
until node is onlined.
This removes node arguments from register_cpu().
Now, register_cpu() requires 'struct node' as its argument. But the array of
struct node is now unified in driver/base/node.c now (By Goto's node hotplug
patch). We can get struct node in generic way. So, this argument is not
necessary now.
This patch also guarantees add cpu under node only when node is onlined. It
is necessary for node-hot-add vs. cpu-hot-add patch following this.
Moreover, register_cpu calculates cpu->node_id by cpu_to_node() without regard
to its 'struct node *root' argument. This patch removes it.
Also modify callers of register_cpu()/unregister_cpu, whose args are changed
by register-cpu-remove-node-struct patch.

This is to refresh node_data[] array for ia64. As I mentioned previous
patches, ia64 has copies of information of pgdat address array on each node as
per node data.
At v2 of node_add, this function used stop_machine_run() to update them. (I
wished that they were copied safety as much as possible.) But, in this patch,
this arrays are just copied simply, and set node_online_map bit after
completion of pgdat initialization.
So, kernel must touch NODE_DATA() macro after checking node_online_map().
(Current code has already done it.) This is more simple way for just
hot-add.....
Note : It will be problem when hot-remove will occur,
because, even if online_map bit is set, kernel may
touch NODE_DATA() due to race condition. :-(

During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of
memory traffic. I think that is caused by the atomic operations
to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually
no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it
to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status.
Converted i386/x86-64/ia64 for now because that was the easiest
way to fix ACPI which also manipulates these flags in its idle

This is useful for filesystems which don't want to store any locking state

Also add a flag to indicate that a POSIX locking request was generated by

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.

Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.
This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.
The patch also makes the following changes:
(*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
very little.
(*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
(*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
dentries being left unculled.
However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
with child trees.
[*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
(*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

This closes a couple holes in our attribute aliasing avoidance scheme:
- The current kernel fails mmaps of some /dev/mem MMIO regions because
they don't appear in the EFI memory map. This keeps X from working
on the Intel Tiger box.
- The current kernel allows UC mmap of the 0-1MB region of
/sys/.../legacy_mem even when the chipset doesn't support UC
access. This causes an MCA when starting X on HP rx7620 and rx8620
boxes in the default configuration.
There's more detail in the Documentation/ia64/aliasing.txt file this
adds, but the general idea is that if a region might be covered by
a granule-sized kernel identity mapping, any access via /dev/mem or
mmap must use the same attribute as the identity mapping.
Otherwise, we fall back to using an attribute that is supported
according to the EFI memory map, or to using UC if the EFI memory
map doesn't mention the region.

Bob Picco noted that 6edfba1b33
dropped the -ffreestanding compiler flag from the top level
Makefile, which allows the compiler to substitute memcpy() in
places where strcpy() is used with a known size source string.
But the ia64 memcpy() returns 0 for success, and "bytes copied"
for failure.
Fix to return the address of the destination string (like
stdlibc version, and other architectures). There are no
places where ia64 specific code makes use of the non-standard

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

Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for
each arch. Its definition is sometimes configurable. Indeed, ia64 defines 5
NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree. But it looks a bit messy.
SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has
been changeable by config. Suitable node's number may be changed in the
future even if it is other architecture. So, I wrote configurable node's
number.
This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi
nodes except ia64. But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary.
On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2
config. But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too. So, I
changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT. It
would be simpler.

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.

It was reported from a field customer that global spin lock ptcg_lock
is giving a lot of grief on munmap performance running on a large numa
machine. What appears to be a problem coming from flush_tlb_range(),
which currently unconditionally calls platform_global_tlb_purge().
For some of the numa machines in existence today, this function is
mapped into ia64_global_tlb_purge(), which holds ptcg_lock spin lock
while executing ptc.ga instruction.
Here is a patch that attempt to avoid global tlb purge whenever
possible. It will use local tlb purge as much as possible. Though the
conditions to use local tlb purge is pretty restrictive. One of the
side effect of having flush tlb range instruction on ia64 is that
kernel don't get a chance to clear out cpu_vm_mask. On ia64, this mask
is sticky and it will accumulate if process bounces around. Thus
diminishing the possible use of ptc.l. Thoughts?

The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:
"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.
With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)
There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)
Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.
Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
ATOMIC CHAINS
-------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain
BLOCKING CHAINS
---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain

drivers/usb/core/notify.c usb_notifier_list
drivers/video/fbmem.c fb_notifier_list
kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain
kernel/module.c module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain
It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

Morton.
