[PATCH] sched: remove on runqueue requeueing
On runqueue time is used to elevate priority in schedule().
In the code it currently requeues tasks even if their priority is not
elevated, which would end up placing them at the end of their runqueue
array effectively delaying them instead of improving their priority.
Bug spotted by Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de>
This patch removes this requeueing.

[PATCH] sched: make task_noninteractive use sleep_type
Alterations to the pipe code in the kernel made it possible for relative
starvation to occur with tasks that slept waiting on a pipe getting unfair
priority bonuses even if they were otherwise fully cpu bound so the
TASK_NONINTERACTIVE flag was introduced which prevented any change to
sleep_avg while sleeping waiting on a pipe. This change also leads to the
converse though, preventing any priority boost from occurring in truly
interactive tasks that wait on pipes.
Convert the TASK_NONINTERACTIVE flag to set sleep_type to SLEEP_NONINTERACTIVE
which will allow a linear bonus to priority based on sleep time thus allowing
interactive tasks to get high priority if they sleep enough.

[PATCH] sched: reduce overhead of calc_load
Currently, count_active_tasks() calls both nr_running() &
nr_interruptible(). Each of these functions does a "for_each_cpu" & reads
values from the runqueue of each cpu. Although this is not a lot of
instructions, each runqueue may be located on different node. Depending on
the architecture, a unique TLB entry may be required to access each
runqueue.
Since there may be more runqueues than cpu TLB entries, a scan of all
runqueues can trash the TLB. Each memory reference incurs a TLB miss &
refill.
In addition, the runqueue cacheline that contains nr_running &
nr_uninterruptible may be evicted from the cache between the two passes.
This causes unnecessary cache misses.
Combining nr_running() & nr_interruptible() into a single function
substantially reduces the TLB & cache misses on large systems. This should
have no measureable effect on smaller systems.
On a 128p IA64 system running a memory stress workload, the new function
reduced the overhead of calc_load() from 605 usec/call to 324 usec/call.

[PATCH] LED: class documentation

The series consists of several logical units:
* LED Core + Class implementation
* LED Trigger Core implementation
* LED timer trigger (example of a complex trigger)
* LED device drivers for corgi, spitz and tosa Zaurus models
* LED device driver for locomo LEDs
* LED device driver for ARM ixp4xx LEDs
* Zaurus charging LED trigger
* IDE disk activity LED trigger
* NAND MTD activity LED trigger
Why?
====
LEDs are really simple devices usually amounting to a GPIO that can be turned
on and off so why do we need all this code? On handheld or embedded devices
they're an important part of an often limited user interface. Both users and
developers want to be able to control and configure what the LED does and the
number of different things they'd potentially want the LED to show is large.
A subsystem is needed to try and provide all this different functionality in
an architecture independent, simple but complete, generic and scalable manner.
The alternative is for everyone to implement just what they need hidden away
in different corners of the kernel source tree and to provide an inconsistent
interface to userspace.
Other Implementations
=====================
I'm aware of the existing arm led implementation. Currently the new subsystem
and the arm code can coexist quite happily. Its up to the arm community to
decide whether this new interface is acceptable to them. As far as I can see,
the new interface can do everything the existing arm implementation can with
the advantage that the new code is architecture independent and much more
generic, configurable and scalable.
I'm prepared to make the conversion to the LED subsystem (or assist with it)
if appropriate.
Implementation Details
======================
I've stripped a lot of code out of John's original LED class. Colours were
removed as LED colour is now part of the device name. Multiple colours are to
be handled as multiple led devices. This means you get full control over each
colour. I also removed the LED hardware timer code as the generic timer isn't
going to add much overhead and is just as useful. I also decided to have the
LED core track the current LED status (to ease suspend/resume handling)
removing the need for brightness_get implementations in the LED drivers.
An underlying design philosophy is simplicity. The aim is to keep a small
amount of code giving as much functionality as possible.
The major new idea is the led "trigger". A trigger is a source of led events.
Triggers can either be simple or complex. A simple trigger isn't
configurable and is designed to slot into existing subsystems with minimal
additional code. Examples are the ide-disk, nand-disk and zaurus-charging
triggers. With leds disabled, the code optimises away. Examples are
nand-disk and ide-disk.
Complex triggers whilst available to all LEDs have LED specific parameters and
work on a per LED basis. The timer trigger is an example.
You can change triggers in a similar manner to the way an IO scheduler is
chosen (via /sys/class/leds/somedevice/trigger).
So far there are only a handful of examples but it should easy to add further
LED triggers without too much interference into other subsystems.
Known Issues
============
The LED Trigger core cannot be a module as the simple trigger functions would
cause nightmare dependency issues. I see this as a minor issue compared to
the benefits the simple trigger functionality brings. The rest of the LED
subsystem can be modular.
Some leds can be programmed to flash in hardware. As this isn't a generic LED
device property, I think this should be exported as a device specific sysfs
attribute rather than part of the class if this functionality is required (eg.
to keep the led flashing whilst the device is suspended).
Future Development
==================
At the moment, a trigger can't be created specifically for a single LED.
There are a number of cases where a trigger might only be mappable to a
particular LED. The addition of triggers provided by the LED driver should
cover this option and be possible to add without breaking the current
interface.
A CPU activity trigger similar to that found in the arm led implementation
should be trivial to add.
This patch:
Add some brief documentation of the design decisions behind the LED class and
how it appears to users.

Fix memory migration so that it works regardless of what cpuset the invoking

If a task invoked a memory migration, by doing one of:

2) writing a tasks pid to a different cpuset's 'tasks' file,
where the cpuset had its 'memory_migrate' option turned on, then the
allocation of the new pages for the migrated task(s) was constrained
by the invoking tasks cpuset.
If this task wasn't in a cpuset that allowed the requested memory nodes, the
memory migration would happen to some other nodes that were in that invoking
tasks cpuset. This was usually surprising and puzzling behaviour: Why didn't
the pages move? Why did the pages move -there-?

[PATCH] Fix pacct bug in multithreading case.
I noticed a bug on the process accounting facility. In multi-threading
process, some data would be recorded incorrectly when the group_leader dies
earlier than one or more threads. The attached patch fixes this problem.
See below. 'bugacct' is a test program that create a worker thread after 4
seconds sleeping, then the group_leader dies soon. The worker thread
consume CPU/Memory for 6 seconds, then exit. We can estimate 10 seconds as
etime and 6 seconds as stime + utime. This is a sample program which the
group_leader dies earlier than other threads.
The results of same binary execution on different kernel are below.
-- accounted records --------------------
| btime | utime | stime | etime | minflt | majflt | comm |
original | 13:16:40 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 6.10 | 171 | 0 | bugacct |
patched | 13:20:21 | 5.83 | 0.18 | 10.03 | 32776 | 0 | bugacct |
(*) bugacct allocates 128MB memory, thus 128MB / 4KB = 32768 of minflt is
appropriate.
-- Test results in original kernel ------
$ date; time -p ./bugacct
Tue Mar 28 13:16:36 JST 2006 <- But pacct said btime is 13:16:40
real 10.11 <- But pacct said etime is 6.10
user 5.96 <- But pacct said utime is 0.00
sys 0.14 <- But pacct said stime is 0.00
$
-- Test results in patched kernel -------
$ date; time -p ./bugacct
Tue Mar 28 13:20:21 JST 2006
real 10.04
user 5.83
sys 0.19
$
In the original 2.6.16 kernel, pacct records btime, utime, stime, etime and
minflt incorrectly. In my opinion, this problem is caused by an assumption
that group_leader dies last.
The following section calculates process running time for etime and btime.
But it means running time of the thread that dies last, not process. The
start_time of the first thread in the process (group_leader) should be
reduced from uptime to calculate etime and btime correctly.
---- do_acct_process() in kernel/acct.c:
/* calculate run_time in nsec*/
do_posix_clock_monotonic_gettime(&uptime);
run_time = (u64)uptime.tv_sec*NSEC_PER_SEC + uptime.tv_nsec;
run_time -= (u64)current->start_time.tv_sec*NSEC_PER_SEC
+ current->start_time.tv_nsec;
----
The following section calculates stime and utime of the process.
But it might count the utime and stime of the group_leader duplicatly
and ignore the utime and stime of the thread dies last, when one or
more threads remain after group_leader dead.
The ac_utime should be calculated as the sum of the signal->utime
and utime of the thread dies last. The ac_stime should be done also.
---- do_acct_process() in kernel/acct.c:
jiffies = cputime_to_jiffies(cputime_add(current->group_leader->utime,
current->signal->utime));
ac.ac_utime = encode_comp_t(jiffies_to_AHZ(jiffies));
jiffies = cputime_to_jiffies(cputime_add(current->group_leader->stime,
current->signal->stime));
ac.ac_stime = encode_comp_t(jiffies_to_AHZ(jiffies));
----
The part of the minflt/majflt calculation has same problem.
This patch solves those problems, I think.

[PATCH] sys_sync_file_range()
Remove the recently-added LINUX_FADV_ASYNC_WRITE and LINUX_FADV_WRITE_WAIT
fadvise() additions, do it in a new sys_sync_file_range() syscall instead.
Reasons:
- It's more flexible. Things which would require two or three syscalls with
fadvise() can be done in a single syscall.
- Using fadvise() in this manner is something not covered by POSIX.
The patch wires up the syscall for x86.
The sycall is implemented in the new fs/sync.c. The intention is that we can
move sys_fsync(), sys_fdatasync() and perhaps sys_sync() into there later.
Documentation for the syscall is in fs/sync.c.
A test app (sync_file_range.c) is in
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/ext3-tools.tar.gz.
The available-to-GPL-modules do_sync_file_range() is for knfsd: "A COMMIT can
say NFS_DATA_SYNC or NFS_FILE_SYNC. I can skip the ->fsync call for
NFS_DATA_SYNC which is hopefully the more common."
Note: the `async' writeout mode SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE will turn synchronous if
the queue is congested. This is trivial to fix: add a new flag bit, set
wbc->nonblocking. But I'm not sure that we want to expose implementation
details down to that level.
Note: it's notable that we can sync an fd which wasn't opened for writing.
Same with fsync() and fdatasync()).
Note: the code takes some care to handle attempts to sync file contents
outside the 16TB offset on 32-bit machines. It makes such attempts appear to
succeed, for best 32-bit/64-bit compatibility. Perhaps it should make such
requests fail...

In SKAS mode, we must switch registers on each context switch (because SKAS

Call arch_switch also in switch_to_skas, even if it's, for now, a no-op for
that case (and mark this in the comment); this will change soon.
Also, arch_switch for TT mode is actually useless when the PT proxy (a
complicate debugging instrumentation for TT mode) is not enabled. In fact, it
only calls update_debugregs, which checks debugregs_seq against seq (to check
if the registers are up-to-date - seq here means a "version number" of the
registers).
If the ptrace proxy is not enabled, debugregs_seq always stays 0 and
update_debugregs will be a no-op. So, optimize this out (the compiler can't
do it).
Also, I've been disappointed by the fact that it would make a lot of sense if,
after calling a successful
update_debugregs(current->thread.arch.debugregs_seq),
current->thread.arch.debugregs_seq were updated with the new debugregs_seq.
But this is not done. Is this a bug or a feature? For all purposes, it seems
a bug (otherwise the whole mechanism does not make sense, which is also a
possibility to check), which causes some performance only problems (not
correctness), since we write_debugregs when not needed.
Also, as suggested by Jeff, remove a redundant enabling of SIGVTALRM,
comprised in the subsequent local_irq_enable(). I'm just a bit dubious if
ordering matters there...

[PATCH] UML: Hotplug memory, take 2
Changes since first version
added check for MADV_REMOVE support on the host
fixed error return botch
shrunk sprintf array by one character
This adds hotplug memory support to UML. The mconsole syntax is
config mem=[+-]n[KMG]
In other words, add or subtract some number of kilobytes, megabytes, or
gigabytes.
Unplugged pages are allocated and then madvise(MADV_TRUNCATE), which is a
currently experimental madvise extension. These pages are tracked so they
can be plugged back in later if the admin decides to give them back. The
first page to be unplugged is used to keep track of about 4M of other
pages. A list_head is the first thing on this page. The rest is filled
with addresses of other unplugged pages. This first page is not madvised,
obviously.
When this page is filled, the next page is used in a similar way and linked
onto a list with the first page. Etc. This whole process reverses when
pages are plugged back in. When a tracking page no longer tracks any
unplugged pages, then it is next in line for plugging, which is done by
freeing pages back to the kernel.

[PATCH] i386 kdump timer vector lockup fix
Porting the patch I posted for x86_64 to i386.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=
114178139610707&w=2
o While using kdump, after a system crash when second kernel boots, timer
vector gets (0x31) locked and CPU does not see timer interrupts
travelling from IOAPIC to APIC. Currently it does not lead to boot
failure in second kernel as timer interrupts continues to come as ExtInt
through LAPIC directly, but fixing it is good in case some boards do not
support the other mode.
o After a system crash, it is not safe to service interrupts any more,
hence interrupts are disabled. This leads to pending interrupts at
LAPIC. LAPIC sends these interrupts to the CPU during early boot of
second kernel. Other pending interrupts are discarded saying unexpected
trap but timer interrupt is serviced and CPU does not issue an LAPIC EOI
because it think this interrupt came from i8259 and sends ack to 8259.
This leads to vector 0x31 locking as LAPIC does not clear respective ISR
and keeps on waiting for EOI.
o This patch issues extra EOI for the pending interrupts who have ISR set.
o Though today only timer seems to be the special case because in early
boot it thinks interrupts are coming from i8259 and uses
mask_and_ack_8259A() as ack handler and does not issue LAPIC EOI. But
probably doing it in generic manner for all vectors makes sense.

This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a

"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.
