* [PATCH] PCI: fix-pci-mmap-on-ppc-and-ppc64.patchMichael Ellerman2005-06-273-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an updated version of Ben's fix-pci-mmap-on-ppc-and-ppc64.patch which is in 2.6.12-rc4-mm1. It fixes the patch to work on PPC iSeries, removes some debug printks at Ben's request, and incorporates your fix-pci-mmap-on-ppc-and-ppc64-fix.patch also. Originally from Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> This patch was discussed at length on linux-pci and so far, the last iteration of it didn't raise any comment. It's effect is a nop on architecture that don't define the new pci_resource_to_user() callback anyway. It allows architecture like ppc who put weird things inside of PCI resource structures to convert to some different value for user visible ones. It also fixes mmap'ing of IO space on those archs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the following new interfaces for I/O xAPIC hotplug. The implementation of these interfaces depends on each architecture. o int acpi_register_ioapic(acpi_handle handle, u64 phys_addr, u32 gsi_base); This new interface is to add a new I/O xAPIC specified by phys_addr and gsi_base pair. phys_addr is the physical address to which the I/O xAPIC is mapped and gsi_base is global system interrupt base of the I/O xAPIC. acpi_register_ioapic returns 0 on success, or negative value on error. o int acpi_unregister_ioapic(acpi_handle handle, u32 gsi_base); This new interface is to remove a I/O xAPIC specified by gsi_base. acpi_unregister_ioapic returns 0 on success, or negative value on error.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When you hot-plug a (root) bridge hierarchy, it may have p2p bridges and devices attached to it that have not been configured by firmware. In this case, we need to configure the devices before starting them. This patch separates device start from device scan so that we can introduce the configuration step in the middle. I kept the existing semantics for pci_scan_bus() since there are a huge number of callers to that function. Also, I have no way of testing the changes I made to the parisc files, so this needs review by those folks. Sorry for the massive cross-post, this touches files in many different places.

Since this address is not 1M-aligned, a regular page mapping will be used instead of a section mapping, which opens up the possibility of triggering ixp2400 erratum #66 as we only do the XCB=101 workaround thing for section mappings. There is still a lot of space higher up in the virtual memory map for 1M mappings, so move the cpld mapping to 0xfe000000 and make it 1M big so that a section mapping will be used for it.

* / bonding: xor/802.3ad improved slave hashJay Vosburgh2005-06-261-0/+7
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for alternate slave selection algorithms to bonding balance-xor and 802.3ad modes. Default mode (what we have now: xor of MAC addresses) is "layer2", new choice is "layer3+4", using IP and port information for hashing to select peer. Originally submitted by Jason Gabler for balance-xor mode; modified by Jay Vosburgh to additionally support 802.3ad mode. Jason's original comment is as follows: The attached patch to the Linux Etherchannel Bonding driver modifies the driver's "balance-xor" mode as follows: - alternate hashing policy support for mode 2 * Added kernel parameter "xmit_policy" to allow the specification of different hashing policies for mode 2. The original mode 2 policy is the default, now found in xmit_hash_policy_layer2(). * Added xmit_hash_policy_layer34() This patch was inspired by hashing policies implemented by Cisco, Foundry and IBM, which are explained in Foundry documentation found at: http://www.foundrynet.com/services/documentation/sribcg/Trunking.html#112750 Signed-off-by: Jason Gabler <jygabler@lbl.gov> Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com>

* | [PATCH] ppc64: kexec support for ppc64R Sharada2005-06-253-0/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements the kexec support for ppc64 platforms. A couple of notes: 1) We copy the pages in virtual mode, using the full base kernel and a statically allocated stack. At kexec_prepare time we scan the pages and if any overlap our (0, _end[]) range we return -ETXTBSY. On PowerPC 64 systems running in LPAR (logical partitioning) mode, only a small region of memory, referred to as the RMO, can be accessed in real mode. Since Linux runs with only one zone of memory in the memory allocator, and it can be orders of magnitude more memory than the RMO, looping until we allocate pages in the source region is not feasible. Copying in virtual means we don't have to write a hash table generation and call hypervisor to insert translations, instead we rely on the pinned kernel linear mapping. The kernel already has move to linked location built in, so there is no requirement to load it at 0. If we want to load something other than a kernel, then a stub can be written to copy a linear chunk in real mode. 2) The start entry point gets passed parameters from the kernel. Slaves are started at a fixed address after copying code from the entry point. All CPUs get passed their firmware assigned physical id in r3 (most calling conventions use this register for the first argument). This is used to distinguish each CPU from all other CPUs. Since firmware is not around, there is no other way to obtain this information other than to pass it somewhere. A single CPU, referred to here as the master and the one executing the kexec call, branches to start with the address of start in r4. While this can be calculated, we have to load it through a gpr to branch to this point so defining the register this is contained in is free. A stack of unspecified size is available at r1 (also common calling convention). All remaining running CPUs are sent to start at absolute address 0x60 after copying the first 0x100 bytes from start to address 0. This convention was chosen because it matches what the kernel has been doing itself. (only gpr3 is defined). Note: This is not quite the convention of the kexec bootblock v2 in the kernel. A stub has been written to convert between them, and we may adjust the kernel in the future to allow this directly without any stub. 3) Destination pages can be placed anywhere, even where they would not be accessible in real mode. This will allow us to place ram disks above the RMO if we choose.

And I have added ppc_md.machine_crash_shutdown. To keep up with the changes in the generic kexec infrastructure. From: Albert Herranz <albert_herranz@yahoo.es> The following patch adds support for kexec on the ppc32 platform. Non-OpenFirmware based platforms are likely to work directly without additional changes on the kernel side. The kexec-tools userland package may need to be slightly updated, though. For OpenFirmware based machines, additional work is still needed on the kernel side before kexec support is ready. Benjamin Herrenschmidt is kindly working on that part. In order for a ppc platform to use the kexec kernel services it must implement some ppc_md hooks. Otherwise, kexec will be explicitly disabled, as suggested by benh. There are 3+1 new ppc_md hooks that a platform supporting kexec may implement. Two of them are mandatory for kexec to work. See include/asm-ppc/machdep.h for details. - machine_kexec_prepare(image) This function is called to make any arrangements to the image before it is loaded. This hook _MUST_ be provided by a platform in order to activate kexec support for that platform. Otherwise, the platform is considered to not support kexec and the kexec_load system call will fail (that makes all existing platforms by default non-kexec'able). - machine_kexec_cleanup(image) This function is called to make any cleanups on image after the loaded image data it is freed. This hook is optional. A platform may or may not provide this hook. - machine_kexec(image) This function is called to perform the _actual_ kexec. This hook _MUST_ be provided by a platform in order to activate kexec support for that platform. If a platform provides machine_kexec_prepare but forgets to provide machine_kexec, a kexec will fall back to a reboot. A ready-to-use machine_kexec_simple() generic function is provided to, hopefully, simplify kexec adoption for embedded platforms. A platform may call this function from its specific machine_kexec hook, like this: void myplatform_kexec(struct kimage *image) { machine_kexec_simple(image); } - machine_shutdown() This function is called to perform any machine specific shutdowns, not already done by drivers. This hook is optional. A platform may or may not provide this hook. An example (trimmed) platform specific module for a platform supporting kexec through the existing machine_kexec_simple follows: /* ... */ #ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC int myplatform_kexec_prepare(struct kimage *image) { /* here, we can place additional preparations */ return 0; /* yes, we support kexec */ } void myplatform_kexec(struct kimage *image) { machine_kexec_simple(image); } #endif /* CONFIG_KEXEC */ /* ... */ void __init platform_init(unsigned long r3, unsigned long r4, unsigned long r5, unsigned long r6, unsigned long r7) { /* ... */ #ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC ppc_md.machine_kexec_prepare = myplatform_kexec_prepare; ppc_md.machine_kexec = myplatform_kexec; #endif /* CONFIG_KEXEC */ /* ... */ } The kexec ppc kernel support has been heavily tested on the GameCube Linux port, and, as reported in the fastboot mailing list, it has been tested too on a Moto 82xx ppc by Rick Richardson.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces the architecture independent implementation the sys_kexec_load, the compat_sys_kexec_load system calls. Kexec on panic support has been integrated into the core patch and is relatively clean. In addition the hopefully architecture independent option crashkernel=size@location has been docuemented. It's purpose is to reserve space for the panic kernel to live, and where no DMA transfer will ever be setup to access.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For one kernel to report a crash another kernel has created we need to have 2 kernels loaded simultaneously in memory. To accomplish this the two kernels need to built to run at different physical addresses. This patch adds the CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option to the x86_64 kernel so we can do just that. You need to know what you are doing and the ramifications are before changing this value, and most users won't care so I have made it depend on CONFIG_EMBEDDED bzImage kernels will work and run at a different address when compiled with this option but they will still load at 1MB. If you need a kernel loaded at a different address as well you need to boot a vmlinux.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In vmlinux.lds.h the code is carefull to define every section so vmlinux properly reports the correct physical load address of code, as well as it's virtual address. The new SECURITY_INIT definition fails to follow that convention and and causes incorrect physical address to appear in the vmlinux if there are any security initcalls. This patch updates the SECURITY_INIT to follow the convention in the rest of the file.

This improves on previous versions of this patch by by never setting bot the local apic and the ioapic into veritual wire mode. This code looks at data from the mptable to see if an ioapic has an ExtInt input to make this decision. A future improvement is to figure out which apic or ioapic was in virtual wire mode at boot time and to remember it.

The 3 models can be selected from a new menu: (X) No Forced Preemption (Server) ( ) Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop) ( ) Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop) we still default to the stock (Server) preemption model. Voluntary preemption works by adding a cond_resched() (reschedule-if-needed) call to every might_sleep() check. It is lighter than CONFIG_PREEMPT - at the cost of not having as tight latencies. It represents a different latency/complexity/overhead tradeoff. It has no runtime impact at all if disabled. Here are size stats that show how the various preemption models impact the kernel's size: text data bss dec hex filename 3618774 547184 179896 4345854 424ffe vmlinux.stock 3626406 547184 179896 4353486 426dce vmlinux.voluntary +0.2% 3748414 548640 179896 4476950 445016 vmlinux.preempt +3.5% voluntary-preempt is +0.2% of .text, preempt is +3.5%. This feature has been tested for many months by lots of people (and it's also included in the RHEL4 distribution and earlier variants were in Fedora as well), and it's intended for users and distributions who dont want to use full-blown CONFIG_PREEMPT for one reason or another.

* | [PATCH] Dynamic sched domains: sched changesDinakar Guniguntala2005-06-251-0/+2

I would like to see this added to -mm o The main advantage with this feature is that it ensures that the scheduler load balacing code only balances against the cpus that are in the sched domain as defined by an exclusive cpuset and not all of the cpus in the system. This removes any overhead due to load balancing code trying to pull tasks outside of the cpu exclusive cpuset only to be prevented by the tasks' cpus_allowed mask. o cpu exclusive cpusets are useful for servers running orthogonal workloads such as RT applications requiring low latency and HPC applications that are throughput sensitive o It provides a new API partition_sched_domains in sched.c that makes dynamic sched domains possible. o cpu_exclusive cpusets sets are now associated with a sched domain. Which means that the users can dynamically modify the sched domains through the cpuset file system interface o ia64 sched domain code has been updated to support this feature as well o Currently, this does not support hotplug. (However some of my tests indicate hotplug+preempt is currently broken) o I have tested it extensively on x86. o This should have very minimal impact on performance as none of the fast paths are affected Signed-off-by: Dinakar Guniguntala <dino@in.ibm.com> Acked-by: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> Acked-by: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Acked-by: Matthew Dobson <colpatch@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of requiring architecture code to interact with the scheduler's locking implementation, provide a couple of defines that can be used by the architecture to request runqueue unlocked context switches, and ask for interrupts to be enabled over the context switch. Also replaces the "switch_lock" used by these architectures with an oncpu flag (note, not a potentially slow bitflag). This eliminates one bus locked memory operation when context switching, and simplifies the task_running function.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

Allow each interval to be chosen by sending a parameter to source_load and target_load. 0 is instantaneous, idx > 0 returns a decaying average with the most recent sample weighted at 2^(idx-1). To a maximum of 3 (could be easily increased). So generally a higher number will result in more conservative balancing.
