[PATCH] sched: balance on fork
Reimplement the balance on exec balancing to be sched-domains aware. Use this
to also do balance on fork balancing. Make x86_64 do balance on fork over the
NUMA domain.
The problem that the non sched domains aware blancing became apparent on dual
core, multi socket opterons. What we want is for the new tasks to be sent to
a different socket, but more often than not, we would first load up our
sibling core, or fill two cores of a single remote socket before selecting a
new one.
This gives large improvements to STREAM on such systems.

Do less affine wakeups. We're trying to reduce dbt2-pgsql idle time
regressions here... make sure we don't don't move tasks the wrong way in an
imbalance condition. Also, remove the cache coldness requirement from the
calculation - this seems to induce sharp cutoff points where behaviour will
suddenly change on some workloads if the load creeps slightly over or under
some point. It is good for periodic balancing because in that case have
otherwise have no other context to determine what task to move.
But also make a minor tweak to "wake balancing" - the imbalance tolerance is
now set at half the domain's imbalance, so we get the opportunity to do wake
balancing before the more random periodic rebalancing gets preformed.

[PATCH] sched: fix SMT scheduling problems
SMT balancing has a couple of problems. Firstly, active_load_balance is too
complex - basically it should be a dumb helper for when the periodic balancer
has determined there is an imbalance, but gets stuck because the task is
running.
So rip out all its "smarts", and just make it move one task to the target CPU.
Second, the busy CPU's sched-domain tree was being used for active balancing.
This means that it may not see that nr_balance_failed has reached a critical
level. So use the target CPU's sched-domain tree for this. We can do this
because we hold its runqueue lock.
Lastly, reset nr_balance_failed to a point where we allow cache hot migration.
This will help ensure active load balancing is successful.
Thanks to Suresh Siddha for pointing out these issues.

[PATCH] sched: improve load balancing pinned tasks
John Hawkes explained the problem best:
A large number of processes that are pinned to a single CPU results
in every other CPU's load_balance() seeing this overloaded CPU as
"busiest", yet move_tasks() never finds a task to pull-migrate. This
condition occurs during module unload, but can also occur as a
denial-of-service using sys_sched_setaffinity(). Several hundred
CPUs performing this fruitless load_balance() will livelock on the
busiest CPU's runqueue lock. A smaller number of CPUs will livelock
if the pinned task count gets high.
Expanding slightly on John's patch, this one attempts to work out whether the
balancing failure has been due to too many tasks pinned on the runqueue. This
allows it to be basically invisible to the regular blancing paths (ie. when
there are no pinned tasks). We can use this extra knowledge to shut down the
balancing faster, and ensure the migration threads don't start running which
is another problem observed in the wild.

[PATCH] s390: debug feature changes
This patch changes the memory allocation method for the s390 debug feature.
Trace buffers had been allocated using the get_free_pages() function before.
Therefore it was not possible to get big memory areas in a running system due
to memory fragmentation. Now the trace buffers are subdivided into several
subbuffers with pagesize. Therefore it is now possible to allocate more
memory for the trace buffers and more trace records can be written.
In addition to that, dynamic specification of the size of the trace buffers is
implemented. It is now possible to change the size of a trace buffer using a
new debugfs file instance. When writing a number into this file, the trace
buffer size is changed to 'number * pagesize'.
In the past all the traces could be obtained from userspace by accessing files
in the "proc" filesystem. Now with debugfs we have a new filesystem which
should be used for debugging purposes. This patch moves the debug feature
from procfs to debugfs.
Since the interface of debug_register() changed, all device drivers, which use
the debug feature had to be adjusted.

Broadcast IPI's provide un-expected behaviour for cpu hotplug. CPU's in
offline state also end up receiving the IPI. Once the cpus become online they
receive these stale IPI's which are bad and introduce unexpected behaviour.
This is easily avoided by not sending a broadcast and addressing just the
CPU's in online map. Doing prelim cycle counts it appears there is no big
overhead and numbers seem around 0x3000-0x3900 on an average on x86 and x86_64
systems with CPUS running 3G, both for broadcast and mask version of the
API's.
The shortcuts are useful only for flat mode (where the perf shows no
degradation), and in cluster mode, its unicast anyway. Its simpler to just
not use broadcast anymore.

The following provides i386 architecture support for safely unregistering and
registering processors during runtime, updated for the current -mm tree. In
order to avoid dumping cpu hotplug code into kernel/irq/* i dropped the
cpu_online check in do_IRQ() by modifying fixup_irqs(). The difference being
that on cpu offline, fixup_irqs() is called before we clear the cpu from
cpu_online_map and a long delay in order to ensure that we never have any
queued external interrupts on the APICs. There are additional changes to s390
and ppc64 to account for this change.
1) Add CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
2) disable local APIC timer on dead cpus.
3) Disable preempt around irq balancing to prevent CPUs going down.
4) Print irq stats for all possible cpus.
5) Debugging check for interrupts on offline cpus.
6) Hacky fixup_irqs() to redirect irqs when cpus go off/online.
7) play_dead() for offline cpus to spin inside.
8) Handle offline cpus set in flush_tlb_others().
9) Grab lock earlier in smp_call_function() to prevent CPUs going down.
10) Implement __cpu_disable() and __cpu_die().
11) Enable local interrupts in cpu_enable() after fixup_irqs()
12) Don't fiddle with NMI on dead cpu, but leave intact on other cpus.
13) Program IRQ affinity whilst cpu is still in cpu_online_map on offline.

even programs with execmem permission will need to have the anonymous

The only reason that we use a permission check for such restriction (vs.

[PATCH] mm: fix remap_pte_range BUG
Out-of-tree user of remap_pfn_range hit kernel BUG at mm/memory.c:1112! It
passes an unrounded size to remap_pfn_range, which was okay before 2.6.12,
but misses remap_pte_range's new end condition. An audit of all the other
ptwalks confirms that this is the only one so exposed.

[PATCH] Fix the error handling in direct I/O
Fix a bug on error handling in the direct I/O function.
Currently, if a file is opened with the O_DIRECT|O_SYNC flag, the write()
syscall cannot receive the EIO error after an I/O error (SCSI cable is
disconnected etc.).
Return values of other points that call generic_osync_inode() are treated
appropriately.

[PATCH] ARM: Generic Dynamic Tick Timer support for ARM, take 4
This patch adds support for Dynamic Tick Timer for ARM. Dynamic Tick is
also known as VST (Variable Scheduling Timeouts).
Dynamic Tick has been in use in the OMAP tree since last October. The
patch is not intrusive, and does not do anything unless CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ
is defined. This patch has the following fixed based on comments from
RMK:
- Time is updated before calling interrupt handlers.
- Added new interrupt flag SA_TIMER to avoid duplicate timer interrupts
- Moved struct dyn_tick_timer to time.h until we at some point probably
have an arch independent dyn-tick.h
- Cleaned up testing for DYN_TICK_ENABLED in irq.c
I've cleaned up this patch to fix some remaining issues:
- Call the timer tick handler with irqs disabled, as it would be from
a normal interrupt
- if we have a dyn_tick, we better implement all methods.
- generic timer_dyn_reprogram() call, to be called before sleeping
- added command line option - "dyntick=" to allow boot-time control
of this feature

The later ixp2000 models don't need the PCI I/O workaround that we
currently perform. Add a config option to disable the workaround,
and panic on boot if a kernel without the workaround is booted on a
buggy chip. As only pre-production ixp2000s need the workaround,
the default is for it not to be configured in.
