From: James Cleverdon The value that cpuinfo returns for command 1 in ebx is the physical APIC ID latched when the system comes out of reset. Ordinarily, this is identical to the value in the local APIC's ID register, because nearly all BIOSes accept the HW assigned value. Our systems, made up of individual building blocks, can't do that. Each node boots as a separate system and is joined together by the BIOS. Thus, the BIOS rewrites the local APIC ID register with a new value. Potomac and Nocona chips have a mechanism by which the BIOS writer can change bits 7:5 to match the assigned cluster ID. Bits 2:0 come from the thread ID. However, bits 4:3 are still those latched at reset. Oops! Summary: Large clustered systems can't use cpuid to derive the sibling information. Fix: Use the local APIC ID. That's the value we use to online the CPUs, so it had better be OK. For non-clustered systems, cpuid == local APIC, so nothing but large boxes should be affected. Signed-off-by:

For historical reasons, ppc64 has ended up with two #defines for the size of a large (16M) page: LARGE_PAGE_SHIFT and HPAGE_SHIFT. This patch removes LARGE_PAGE_SHIFT in favour of the more widely used HPAGE_SHIFT. Signed-off-by:

Replace the mmu_context_queue structure with the idr allocator. The mmu_context_queue allocation was quite large (~200kB) so on most machines we will have a reduction in usage. We might put a single entry cache on the front of this so we are more likely to reuse ppc64 MMU hashtable entries that are in the caches. Signed-off-by:

When <linux/timex.h> started including <asm/io.h> this exposed one of the fragilities of the code in arch/ppc/boot/, namely that it is tied to the kernel headers for some information, yet not really the kernel. The following starts us in the direction of being less tied to the kernel by providing our own serial_state definition (all we care about is the ability to grab information from SERIAL_PORT_DFNS).

Exec fails to clean up posix-timers. This manifests itself in two ways, one worse than the other. In the single-threaded case, it just fails to clear out the timers on exec. POSIX says that exec clears out the timers from timer_create (though not the setitimer ones), so it's wrong that a lingering timer could fire after exec and kill the process with a signal it's not expecting. In the multi-threaded case, it not only leaves lingering timers, but it leaks them entirely when it replaces signal_struct, so they will never be freed by the process exiting after that exec. The new per-user RLIMIT_SIGPENDING actually limits the damage here, because a UID will fill up its quota with leaked timers and then never be able to use timer_create again (that's what my test program does). But if you have many many untrusted UIDs, this leak could be considered a DoS risk. Signed-off-by:

There's one additional step we can do ontop of the ports-max code to get rid of copying in X.org's case: cache the last task that set up the IO bitmap. This means we can set the offset to invalid and keep the IO bitmap of that task, and switch back to a valid offset (without any copying) when switching back to that task. (or do a copy if there is another ioperm task we switch to.) I've attached ioport-cache-2.6.8.1.patch that implements this. When there's a single active ioperm() using task in the system then the context-switch overhead is very low and constant: # ./ioperm-latency default no ioperm: scheduling latency: 2478 cycles turning on port 80 ioperm: scheduling latency: 2499 cycles turning on port 65535 ioperm: scheduling latency: 2481 cycles This single-ioperm-user situation matches 99% of the actual ioperm() usage scenarios and gets rid of any copying whatsoever - without relying on any fault mechanism. I can see no advantage of the GPF approach over this patch. Signed-off-by:

Due to the tty ldisc code not stopping write operations against a driver even after a tty has been closed I added a mechanism to hvc_console in my previous patch to prevent this by nulling out the tty->driver_data in hvc_close() but I forgot to check tty->driver_data in hvc_write(). Anton Blanchard got several oops'es from hvc_write() accessing NULL as if it were a pointer to an hvc_struct usually stored in tty->driver_data. So this patch checks tty->driver_data in hvc_write() before it is used. Hopefully once Alan Cox's patch is checked in ldisc writes won't continue to happen after tty closes. Anton Blanchard has tested this patch and is unable to reproduce the oops with it applied. Changelog: drivers/char/hvc_console.c - Added comment to hvc_close() to explain the reason for NULLing tty->driver_data. - Added check to hvc_write() to verify that tty->driver_data is valid (NOT NULL) which would be the case if the write operation was invoked after a tty close was initiated on the tty.

The I2O subsystem currently map all memory from the I2O controller for the controller's in queue, even if it is not necessary. This is a problem, because on some systems the size returned from pci_resource_len() could be 128MB and only 1-4MB is needed. Changes: - only ioremap as much memory as the controller is actually using. Signed-off-by:

The SGI Altix PROM supports a SAL call for performance monitoring and for exporting NUMA topology. We need this in community kernels for diagnostic and performance tools to use, especially on very large machines. This patch registers a dynamic misc device "sn_hwperf" that supports an ioctl interface for reading/writing memory mapped registers on Altix nodes and routers via the new SAL call. It also creates a read-only procfs file "/proc/sgi_sn/sn_topology" to export NUMA topology and Altix hardware inventory. > What tools are using this? Performance Co-Pilot http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp in particular, pmshub, shubstats and linkstat. Numerous other users include anything that needs knowledge of numa topology/interconnect in order to perform well, e.g. mpt. BTW I have not exported any API functions .. at this point I don't think we need any modules to call the API. Signed-off-by:
