      Generic Virtual Memmap support for SPARSEMEM · 8f6aac41
      Christoph Lameter authored
      SPARSEMEM is a pretty nice framework that unifies quite a bit of code over all
      the arches.  It would be great if it could be the default so that we can get
      rid of various forms of DISCONTIG and other variations on memory maps.  So far
      what has hindered this are the additional lookups that SPARSEMEM introduces
      for virt_to_page and page_address.  This goes so far that the code to do this
      has to be kept in a separate function and cannot be used inline.
      
      This patch introduces a virtual memmap mode for SPARSEMEM, in which the memmap
      is mapped into a virtually contigious area, only the active sections are
      physically backed.  This allows virt_to_page page_address and cohorts become
      simple shift/add operations.  No page flag fields, no table lookups, nothing
      involving memory is required.
      
      The two key operations pfn_to_page and page_to_page become:
      
         #define __pfn_to_page(pfn)      (vmemmap + (pfn))
         #define __page_to_pfn(page)     ((page) - vmemmap)
      
      By having a virtual mapping for the memmap we allow simple access without
      wasting physical memory.  As kernel memory is typically already mapped 1:1
      this introduces no additional overhead.  The virtual mapping must be big
      enough to allow a struct page to be allocated and mapped for all valid
      physical pages.  This vill make a virtual memmap difficult to use on 32 bit
      platforms that support 36 address bits.
      
      However, if there is enough virtual space available and the arch already maps
      its 1-1 kernel space using TLBs (f.e.  true of IA64 and x86_64) then this
      technique makes SPARSEMEM lookups even more efficient than CONFIG_FLATMEM.
      FLATMEM needs to read the contents of the mem_map variable to get the start of
      the memmap and then add the offset to the required entry.  vmemmap is a
      constant to which we can simply add the offset.
      
      This patch has the potential to allow us to make SPARSMEM the default (and
      even the only) option for most systems.  It should be optimal on UP, SMP and
      NUMA on most platforms.  Then we may even be able to remove the other memory
      models: FLATMEM, DISCONTIG etc.

      sparsemem: record when a section has a valid mem_map · 540557b9
      Andy Whitcroft authored
      We have flags to indicate whether a section actually has a valid mem_map
      associated with it.  This is never set and we rely solely on the present bit
      to indicate a section is valid.  By definition a section is not valid if it
      has no mem_map and there is a window during init where the present bit is set
      but there is no mem_map, during which pfn_valid() will return true
      incorrectly.
      
      Use the existing SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP flag to indicate the presence of a valid
      mem_map.  Switch valid_section{,_nr} and pfn_valid() to this bit.  Add a new
      present_section{,_nr} and pfn_present() interfaces for those users who care to
      know that a section is going to be valid.

      models: FLATMEM, DISCONTIG etc.
      
      The current aim is to bring a common virtually mapped mem_map to all
      architectures.  This should facilitate the removal of the bespoke
      implementations from the architectures.  This also brings performance
      improvements for most architecture making sparsmem vmemmap the more desirable
      memory model.  The ultimate aim of this work is to expand sparsemem support to
      encompass all the features of the other memory models.  This could allow us to
      drop support for and remove the other models in the longer term.
      
      Below are some comparitive kernbench numbers for various architectures,
      comparing default memory model against SPARSEMEM VMEMMAP.  All but ia64 show
      marginal improvement; we expect the ia64 figures to be sorted out when the
      larger mapping support returns.

      x86: optimize page faults like all other achitectures and kill notifier cruft · 74a0b576
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      x86(-64) are the last architectures still using the page fault notifier
      cruft for the kprobes page fault hook.  This patch converts them to the
      proper direct calls, and removes the now unused pagefault notifier bits
      aswell as the cruft in kprobes.c that was related to this mess.
      
      I know Andi didn't really like this, but all other architecture maintainers
      agreed the direct calls are much better and besides the obvious cruft
      removal a common way of dealing with kprobes across architectures is
      important aswell.

      Convert cpu_sibling_map from a static array sized by NR_CPUS to a per_cpu
      variable.  This saves sizeof(cpumask_t) * NR unused cpus.  Access is mostly
      from startup and CPU HOTPLUG functions.

      x86: Convert cpu_core_map to be a per cpu variable · 08357611
      Mike Travis authored
      This is from an earlier message from 'Christoph Lameter':
      
          cpu_core_map is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that
          we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpu.
      
          If we put the cpu_core_map into the per cpu area then it will be allocated
          for each processor as it comes online.
      
          This means that the core map cannot be accessed until the per cpu area
          has been allocated. Xen does a weird thing here looping over all processors
          and zeroing the masks that are not yet allocated and that will be zeroed
          when they are allocated. I commented the code out.

      wake up from a serial port · b3b708fa
      Guennadi Liakhovetski authored
      Enable wakeup from serial ports, make it run-time configurable over sysfs,
      e.g.,
      
      echo enabled > /sys/devices/platform/serial8250.0/tty/ttyS0/power/wakeup
      
      Requires
      
      # CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set
      
      Following suggestions from Alan and Russell moved the may_wake_up checks
      to serial_core.c. This time actually tested - it does even work. Could
      someone, please, verify, that put_device after device_find_child is
      correct?
      
      Also would be nice to test with a Natsemi UART, that can wake up the system,
      if such systems exist.
      
      For this you just have to apply the patch below, issue the above "echo"
      command to one of your Natsemi port, suspend and resume your system, and
      verify that your Natsemi port still works.  If you are actually capable of
      waking up the system from that port, would be nice to test that as well.

      pxa2xx PCMCIA timing issue on iPAQ H5550 · 24d6572b
      Milan Plzik authored
      Recently I've been trying to get working PCMCIA interface on H5000 ipaq
      series, using dual PCMCIA sleeve.  So far things work correctly, but I had
      to do one modification to drivers/pcmcia/pxa2xx_base.c to get the interface
      working with orinoco gold PCMCIA card (wired pcnet_cs ethernet card worked
      even without this modification).
      
      The issue has something to do with assert time on PCMCIA bus, but I'm not
      really sure what -- I found the working value just by trial&error approach.
       I'm not sure how is the assert value in pxa2xx_mcxx_asst calculated (I
      know, simple formula, but the reason why is it calculated that way is not
      obvious for me), neither that my modification is correct.  It just works
      with iPAQ.

      slow down printk during boot · bfe8df3d
      Randy Dunlap authored
      Optionally add a boot delay after each kernel printk() call, crudely
      measured in milliseconds, with a maximum delay of 10 seconds per printk.
      
      Enable CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY=y and then add (e.g.):
      "lpj=loops_per_jiffy boot_delay=100"
      to the kernel command line.
      
      It has been useful in cases like "during boot, my machine just reboots or the
      screen goes black" by slowing down printk, (and adding initcall_debug), we can
      usually see the last thing that happened before the lights went out which is
      usually a valuable clue.

      Resolved conflicts manually in drivers/hwmon/applesmc.c: converting from
      a class device to a device and converting to use input-polldev created a
      few apparently trivial clashes..

      [IPV6]: Consolidate the ip6_pol_route_(input|output) pair · 4acad72d
      Pavel Emelyanov authored
      The difference in both functions is in the "id" passed to
      the rt6_select, so just pass it as an extra argument from
      two outer helpers.
      
      This is minus 60 lines of code and 360 bytes of .text

      [TCP]: Make snd_cwnd_cnt 32-bit · f78a1b38
      Ilpo Järvinen authored
      Very little point of having 32-bit snd_cnwd if this is not
      32-bit as well, as a number of snd_cwnd incrementation formulas
      assume that snd_cwnd_cnt can be at least as large as snd_cwnd.
      
      Whether 32-bit is useful was discussed when e0ef57cc
      was made:
