[MIPS] TX49x7: Fix reporting of the CPU name and PCI clock
I've noticed that PCI clock was incorrectly reported as 66 MHz while being
mere 33 MHz on RBTX4937 board -- this was due to the different encoding of
the PCI divisor field in CCFG register between TX4927 and TX4937 chips...
Also, RBTX49x7 was printed out as a CPU name (e.g., "CPU is RBTX4937");
and some debug printk() were duplicating each other...

[MIPS] TX49 MFC0 bug workaround
If mfc0 $12 follows store and the mfc0 is last instruction of a

Workaround: mask EXL bit of the result or place a nop before mfc0. It
doesn't harm to always clear those bits, so we change the code to do so.

[PATCH] NUMA slab locking fixes: fix cpu down and up locking
This fixes locking and bugs in cpu_down and cpu_up paths of the NUMA slab
allocator. Sonny Rao <sonny@burdell.org> reported problems sometime back on
POWER5 boxes, when the last cpu on the nodes were being offlined. We could
not reproduce the same on x86_64 because the cpumask (node_to_cpumask) was not
being updated on cpu down. Since that issue is now fixed, we can reproduce
Sonny's problems on x86_64 NUMA, and here is the fix.
The problem earlier was on CPU_DOWN, if it was the last cpu on the node to go
down, the array_caches (shared, alien) and the kmem_list3 of the node were
being freed (kfree) with the kmem_list3 lock held. If the l3 or the
array_caches were to come from the same cache being cleared, we hit on
badness.
This patch cleans up the locking in cpu_up and cpu_down path. We cannot
really free l3 on cpu down because, there is no node offlining yet and even
though a cpu is not yet up, node local memory can be allocated for it. So l3s
are usually allocated at keme_cache_create and destroyed at
kmem_cache_destroy. Hence, we don't need cachep->spinlock protection to get
to the cachep->nodelist[nodeid] either.
Patch survived onlining and offlining on a 4 core 2 node Tyan box with a 4
dbench process running all the time.

colour_next.
This patch moves the colouring index "colour_next" per-node by placing it on

[PATCH] jbd: fix transaction batching
Ben points out that:
When writing files out using O_SYNC, jbd's 1 jiffy delay results in a
significant drop in throughput as the disk sits idle. The patch below
results in a 4-5x performance improvement (from 6.5MB/s to ~24-30MB/s on my
IDE test box) when writing out files using O_SYNC.
So optimise the batching code by omitting it entirely if the process which is
doing a sync write is the same as the one which did the most recent sync
write. If that's true, we're unlikely to get any other processes joining the
transaction.
(Has been in -mm for ages - it took me a long time to get on to performance
testing it)
Numbers, on write-cache-disabled IDE:
/usr/bin/time -p synctest -n 10 -uf -t 1 -p 1 dir-name
Unpatched:
40 seconds
Patched:
35 seconds
Batching disabled:
35 seconds
This is the problematic single-process-doing-fsync case. With multiple
fsyncing processes the numbers are AFACIT unaltered by the patch.
Aside: performance testing and instrumentation shows that the transaction
batching almost doesn't help (testing with synctest -n 1 -uf -t 100 -p 10
dir-name on non-writeback-caching IDE). This is because by the time one
process is running a synchronous commit, a bunch of other processes already
have a transaction handle open, so they're all going to batch into the same
transaction anyway.
The batching seems to offer maybe 5-10% speedup with this workload, but I'm
pretty sure it was more important than that when it was first developed 4-odd
years ago...

The pktcdvd driver defaulted to its maximum allowed packet length when it

The option defaults to off for now.
I tested it on a few systems and the resulting APIC timer frequencies
were usually a bit off, but always <1%, which should be tolerable.
TBD figure out heuristic to enable this automatically on the affected
systems TBD perhaps do it on all NForce3s or using DMI?

[PATCH] x86_64: Don't allow kprobes on __switch_to
kprobes cannot deal with the funny calling conventions when it
runs on a different stack when it returns. If someone wants
to instrument context switch they can add a probe to schedule()
instead.
