      RCU: Don't try and predeclare inline funcs as it upsets some versions of gcc · 5b1d07ed
      David Howells authored
      Don't try and predeclare inline funcs like this:
      
      	static inline void wait_migrated_callbacks(void)
      	...
      	static void _rcu_barrier(enum rcu_barrier type)
      	{
      		...
      		wait_migrated_callbacks();
      	}
      	...
      	static inline void wait_migrated_callbacks(void)
      	{
      		wait_event(rcu_migrate_wq, !atomic_read(&rcu_migrate_type_count));
      	}
      
      as it upsets some versions of gcc under some circumstances:
      
      	kernel/rcupdate.c: In function `_rcu_barrier':
      	kernel/rcupdate.c:125: sorry, unimplemented: inlining failed in call to 'wait_migrated_callbacks': function body not available
      	kernel/rcupdate.c:152: sorry, unimplemented: called from here
      
      This can be dealt with by simply putting the static variables (rcu_migrate_*)
      at the top, and moving the implementation of the function up so that it
      replaces its forward declaration.

      MN10300: Stop gcc from generating uninitialised variable warnings after BUG() · 616df135
      David Howells authored
      Stop gcc from generating uninitialised variable warnings after BUG().  The
      problem is that MN10300's implementation of BUG() invokes system call 15 which
      doesn't return - but there's no way to tell the compiler that and also emit the
      bug table element with the correct file and line data.
      
      So instead, we make the do...while wrapper in _debug_bug_trap() an endless loop
      from which there's no escape.
      
      Also, while we're at it, (1) get rid of _debug_bug_trap() and just implement
      directly as BUG(), and (2) make the implementation of BUG() contingent on
      CONFIG_BUG=y.

      Fix the key value generation for get/set amp verbs.  The upper bits of
      the parameter have to be combined with the verb value to be unique for
      each direction/index of amp access.

      the channel mode is changed.

      acpi-cpufreq: fix 'smp_call_function_many()' confusion · ea34f43a
      Linus Torvalds authored
      It turns out that 'smp_call_function_many()' doesn't work at all like
      'smp_call_function_single()', and my change to Andrew's patch to use it
      rather than a loop over all CPU's acpi-cpufreq doesn't work.
      
      My bad.
      
      'smp_call_function_many()' has two "features" (aka "documented bugs"):
      
       (a) it needs to be called with preemption disabled, because it uses
           smp_processor_id() without guarding the CPU lookup with 'get_cpu()'
           and 'put_cpu()' like the 'single' variant does.
      
       (b) even if the current CPU is part of the CPU mask, it won't do the
           call on that CPU.
      
      Still, we're better off trying to use 'smp_call_function_many()' than
      looping over CPU's, since it at least in theory allows us to use a
      broadcast IPI and do it all in parallel.  So let's just work around the
      silly semantic bugs in that function.

      cfq-iosched: add close cooperator code · a36e71f9
      Jens Axboe authored
      If we have processes that are working in close proximity to each
      other on disk, we don't want to idle wait. Instead allow the close
      process to issue a request, getting better aggregate bandwidth.
      The anticipatory scheduler has similar checks, noop and deadline do
      not need it since they don't care about process <-> io mappings.
      
      The code for CFQ is a little more involved though, since we split
      request queues into per-process contexts.
      
      This fixes a performance problem with eg dump(8), since it uses
      several processes in some silly attempt to speed IO up. Even if
      dump(8) isn't really a valid case (it should be fixed by using
      CLONE_IO), there are other cases where we see close processes
      and where idling ends up hurting performance.
      
      Credit goes to Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> for writing the
      initial implementation.
